Princes House in the Walled City

I booked this accommodation for the jazz festival I paid insurance in case of cancelling I broke my ankle 4 days before the trip to Derry I rang the accommodation and explained I had to cancel the trip. I thought we wouldn't be charged he marked it down as a no show. I was charged full amount including the cancellation fee Its nearly impossible to claim my money back. So disappointed to be treated this way I'd never advise anyone to book this place.

I was very disappointed with this accommodation. It wasnt particularly cheap (over £100 for one night, no breakfast). The only positive thing I can give is the location which is quite central. The interior common hallway of the building is drab and a bit musty. The carpet on the stairs had seen better days and that's being polite. The bedroom flooring was thick nylon carpet which I was apprehensive to stand on. The room was extremely small, quite tight for two people and had not been cleaned properly, dust and dirt behind the beds and on surfaces. There were inadequate electrical points so we have extension cable running across the room. The window frame had black stuff on it as did the shower tray. The fittings looked like they had been done by a cowboy builder. The proprieter was friendly but the building has no security, using a code that has been in use for a long time and the only lock that could offer protection on the front door was out of use. The place has not been painted or decorated for at least 10 years but probably longer. They do provide coffee and tea making facilities but no cups, or spoons. Seriously!
