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.

Unacceptable web service from hotels horrid hotel!

Do not book this hotel through hotels.com. It is dirty and run down and I really did not want to sleep in my room. When I complained I was told that as booked and pre paid through hotels website they could not offer any refund and contacting hotels.co.uk or .com is impossible and hence any reparation similarly so. I will never book this hotel again and I will never book through hotels again. Disgusting service from the website and horrid dirty hotel.

Good value, full of character and almost excellent

A lovely characterful place that the owners are clearly trying hard with and providing great service. With some more attention to detail on the finishing off and maintenance of the fittings, and the overall cleanliness of the rooms, this could be excellent.
