Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had the cleanest rooms I've ever seen, making it so easy to relax in, similar to a double room at the Premier Inn but with some extra amenities. However, the temperature function in the room remained too cold, and some areas were very dirty.
The hotel was fantastic value for money despite some issues with the rooms. The staff was kind and helpful overall. The location was amazing with a great view, but noise disturbances were present. The dining experience had its ups and downs. Some facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a great view of Derby city center, but there were some dusty corners in the carpet. The service was a bit small for an executive room with only one armchair in a double room. The location is excellent for exploring the city center and enjoying Darley Park, but there was an unexpected charge for parking. The dining experience had good food choices, although the hot food was tepid. The facilities were generally satisfying.
The hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms, but fell short of a 4-star standard due to basic amenities. The service was responsive, although some delays were experienced. The hotel had a convenient location with friendly staff, but lacking in certain key features. The dining experience was satisfactory, with limited options. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
