Room was clean and in good order. The breakfast offered a good range of options and the restaurant staff (during breakfast) were friendly, efficient, and very helpful.
Very convenient location to Derby city, walkable to cathedral, shopping centre. Staff were great, room was very comfortable and clean. Would stay again.
Lovely welcome at reception. Room clean and tasteful. Breakfast was great, standard buffet, but can request omelette of choice, and they're massive and wonderfully presented. Staff were great and we weren't pressured to leave. Was interesting to see brown bags available to take things away!! Parking is a short walk away and at a reduced rate £8 for 24 hours is great!! All in all would definitely recommend
The room was clean and spacious and the staff friendly and helpful. The location was excellent for the city and public transport. The breakfast offered a wide selection and the restaurant area was spacious and comfortable.
The whole hotel is great, recently refurbished everywhere is new and very well maintained. The rooms were so comfortable, we slept so well. Breakfast was also excellent, great choices, great food and such lovely staff. There is nothing that we could fault. AND great value for money, the location is perfect for getting to, parking and the proximity to the city centre! Amazing.
Enjoyed our 2 night stay. Beautifully cleaned room, very comfy bed. Lovely breakfast with a wide selection of choice. Knowledgeable staff who were all very helpful. Would defo stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff were so courteous and warm. Very helpful Sky in reception and Vanessa was excellent in the lounge in the evening. Despite a very large booking being expected they couldn’t do enough to ensure we were able to eat before going out for the evening. The servers too were warm and friendly and you actually felt like they cared about you and your stay.
