Average stay, friendly staff, decent breakfast

We had an ok stay. We accidentally got sent to a room that wasn’t made up and we were offered a drink while that was sorted out. The room we did get was ok, but the shower was covered in orange and black mould, not just in the corners but the grout throughout. Otherwise the service was great, the staff were really trying hard. Breakfast was great, you got to choose from a menu. It definitely wasn’t a four star experience but not terrible either.

Hotel was fine but nothing special, not sure how it’s got 4*. Hairs in the bathroom and the air con didn’t work, view was also facing out to a wall. Room did have a fridge and a coffee machine and the bathroom’s fairly modern. Rooms could probably do with a revamp.

Not a 4 star !!

Could be a lovely hotel. It needs a bit of tlc. We booked a superior double with king size bed, on arrival we asked if there were any upgrades. Which seemingly we were given for free ? When we went to our room it was small and pokey and not very nice at all. Complained at reception and we were then given the room we had booked( before upgrade) this was far more spacious and a better view. The air conditioning wasn't working in the hotel, but we did have a fan supplied, which helped. My wife went for a bath, then we couldn't get the plug out !! Breakfast wasn't to great either. No fruit or pastries. All in all, not a great place to stay. It could be as the close proximity to town is the reason we chose it. But definitely not 4 star. !!

Just ok, needs tidying up and a better breakfast.

Stayed in this hotel a few times over the last 10 years for one night stops. It's in a great location for anything you're doing in Derby City centre (going to watch DCFC for me). Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby, easy access to train station, buses and taxis. However, the standard of the building itself has deteriorated. It's looking tired and in need of decorating/refurbishment. My room windows were filthy, pigeon poo on the ledge. Walls and carpets need replacing/decorating and breakfast is very average. Orange juice came in a tiny plastic carton with all of two mouthfuls, water for tea from one of those push to pour big flasks (not hot enough). Minimal parking (4-5 cars) so you'd have to use Bold Lane car park which is very secure and just a couple of minutes walk but extra cost. Staff were attentive and friendly but it's expensive for what it offers. Leonardo just 5 minutes walk away is much better for similar price, it was sold out on this occasion.
