Very friendly welcome from Liam who could not do enough to make my stay omfortable and enjoyable. Excellent value for the money and I chose to walk up the hill from the Foyle esplanade and it did wonders for my fitness ( rather than take the bus up the hill to Park Avenue)

We had a great time at Fairman House, Liam is very nice and friendly, and the house is comfortable. The cleanliness is absulote 100%. Thanks to its location it is very quiet, but from the city centre maybe better to go by taxi (just 3 pound), because the house is on the hill. I would recommend Fairman House.

I would definitely recommend Fairman Place to anybody who is planning to visit Derry. It is the perfect place! A wonderful house, so clean, warm and comfortable. It has a big kitchen and a common room with three sofas an a big TV. It is just 10 minutes walk to the city centre in a nice and quiet neighbourhood. Liam and Stefka are such a nice and friendly people, they were really helpful and made us feel like home....Thank you so much for that! A huge 100% for you!!!

The Fairman House is a wonderful place to relax after an adventurous day exploring the City of Derry. It is a warm and comfortable atmosphere and the people who run the hostel are very personable, friendly, and willing to offer advice or assistance. It is an easy 10-15 minute walk into the city centre, or an inexpensive taxi ride. I had a wonderful time at the Fariman House and would recommend it to any traveler.
