My stay at the hotel was cozy and overall pleasant. The rooms were a little on the cold side, but the hospitality tray was a nice touch. The staff were incredibly helpful, but it was a bit inconvenient to have the phone in the room requiring trips to reception. However, their assistance was faultless and nothing was too much trouble.

The hotel was a little far from the town center, but it was perfect for my visit to the university. Conveniently close to The Royal Derby Hospital for my needs. However, it might be a bit out of the way without a car.

The dining experience was mixed with great options at the pub, but some dishes could have been fresher. Breakfast had a disappointing touch with reheated baked beans and stale toast.

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel; despite the rooms looking slightly tired, they were spotless and very comfortable. We even received a 20% discount on our evening meal, which was a real bonus. The breakfast was great, and the overall value for money was excellent. I will definitely consider staying here again.

The hotel's location was perfect for visiting my daughter at University and exploring the City Centre. It was very convenient and surprisingly quiet, given its proximity to a main road.

The hotel was spotless and had everything I needed, located right next to the main entrance in front of the hotel. The service with a welcome drink was a nice touch. However, the coffee in the adjacent pub restaurant was not that good. The location was very convenient and quiet despite being just off the main road. The dining experience was straightforward and good value, with a make-your-own pancake machine. The facilities were great, with fantastic rooms.
