Great Derby city centre hotel
Great grade II listed building with stunning lobby and stairwell area. Nicely presented room with all the finishes expected of a 4* hotel. Pleasant staff and a good breakfast offering.
The price was very reasonable and in a great central location

Extra touches which improve the quality of stay
Good sized, well-equipped rooms
Very comfortable bed
As a coffee lover there is no skimping on the supplies - in some hotels you have to find the nearest shop to buy coffee
Recommend for close to the centre

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.

Needs a revamp!
The reception is lovely but that’s where it ended.
The rooms need some re-decoration.
The A/C does not work and was extremely hot.
Both bedside lamps did not work and also one in the bathroom.
Breakfast really was poor- food quality and over cooked eggs, not great when you’re having eggs Benedict and the eggs are hard boiled!
Not really sure this is a four star hotel.
Staff however were friendly and polite!

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. !!

I would suggest that this is a hotel in transition. It needs a lot of work done to bring it up to scratch (plaster coming off the walls, light bulbs missing etc) however the staff are fabulous, the breakfast very good, the rooms clean enough and the bed was very comfortable. All in all my new go to in Derby

Staff were excellent very attentive .
Room was surprisingly quiet .
Breakfast was a little disappointing - eggs were a bit undercooked & mushrooms and plate was cold.
But server did check & offer to cook more eggs.

There is no doubt that this hotel has seen better days. A number of items in the room required some TLC. Having said that, the receptionist was super helpful, there is some free parking available, the hotel is conveniently located and it was warm and quiet. It worked for me but YMMV.
