Oct 20, 2026We had an amazing stay here! There was ample parking, easy check in and the staff was so so welcoming and friendly! The room was clean and very well maintained. The little touches in the room really made it feel boutique. There was a fire in the sitting room which was lovely. Breakfast was very tasty. Would highly recommend staying here!

Apr 18, 2026Lovely rooms all be it a little warm. Emmet (the manager) was so helpful and explained the history of the house. 10 rooms all on a literary theme really well designed. Brilliant breakfast and all of the staff were very helpful and polite. All in all a great place to stay.

Jun 10, 2026We arrived a little early to this magnificent property. We were welcomed in to the beautiful sitting room to wait for our room to be ready. Such lovely helpful staff, and so friendly and welcoming.
The room was amazing, and we also spent time in the sitting room in the evening, playing cards with the fire kindly lit for our benefit.
This is a little piece of the history, well worth a stay to experience it.

May 26, 2026Wonderful staff who really make you feel welcome. Lovely well appointed room but very small if you have luggage. Fantastic breakfast and great location. Only drawback is how hot the room was. No fans available and with the changing climate and heat rising to the 3rd floor I believe a small fan would go a long way.

Apr 16, 2026The staff and decor were the winning aspects of the Lawrence. The writer-themed rooms were so individual and impeccably decorated. Emmit (sp?) showed us all around the space and told us the history. It was all so charming! Breakfast was top-notch as well. And the location was just blocks from the walled city. We had a somewhat late arrival, and were surprised to see so many stores/ restaurants already closed. (It was a Monday night). We found Brown’s still open…closes at 9p…and had a delicious meal there. Back to The Lawrence…they did everything right, and I would definitely go back and stay there again.

Mar 17, 2026The entire property was introduced to us by Sharon who gave us a history on the property. She also showed us to the breakfast room and the drawing room, named the Oscar Wilde room. She showed us to our room and explained the amenities very thoroughly. We also met both Colin & Emmett who were exceptionally welcoming. The room itself was small but perfect for a couple. Myself and my mother stayed in No. 6 (WB Yeats room). Our room overlooked the Magee campus and was situated on a quiet street with ample on street parking available. The breakfast was an additional cost of £15pp and we were provided with a menu to choose from. The breakfast hours start at 7.30am and end at 9.30am Mon-Fri with different times at the weekends. The breakfast choices were sufficient however if you were not keen on breakfast meals and wanted toast, for example, this should be an option on the menu. The property address is located a 15 minute walk from the city centre with easy access to the city by car. All in all, we would definitely stay here again and we thank Colin, Emmett and especially Sharon for their warmest welcome and allowing us to stay in this beautiful property.

Jun 29, 2026The Lawrence is so much more than a boutique hotel. It's an experience. We stayed in the annex which was amazing. The Lawrence is situated on a fairly steep incline but Derry is walkable

Apr 30, 2026The staff was very friendly and were very happy to share the history of the buildings. The room was gorgeous and well thought out. It was one of our favorites stays during our 10 day trip to Ireland. Great value for you money.

Jan 26, 2026It is a joy to stay at the Lawrence! The bedrooms are beautifully decorated and called after famous Irish patriots, poets and writers. The sitting room is beautifully furnished with a welcoming coal fire and a nice bar for a nightcap. The breakfast is of a high standard. Finally all the staff are so friendly and well trained.

Jul 25, 2026Dejligt B&B m gratis kolde drikke, kaffe/te og snacks til rådighed 24/7. Vores værelse (nr. 5) var ikke så rummeligt - nr. 8 er større! - til gengæld superhyggeligt og med mulighed for ophold i lounge og kaffeområde lige udenfor døren. Toiletartikler i god kvalitet. Selve området er centralt og sikkert, så vi kunne lade vinduerne stå åbne nat og dag. Personalet er hjælpsomme og servicemindede, og morgenmaden traditionel og velsmagende.
