The drive down to the car park is very steep with quite tight spaces but OK. The walk back up to reception would be quite difficult for older people or with lots of luggage but fine for a one night stop. The receptionist was very potite and helpful but there is no lift to the upper floors., The stairs are quite steep and narrow. We were on teh second floor.
The room was small but contained everything needed for a good nights sleep. The decor could do with a refresh. The shower gave plentiful hot water at a good flow rate. The bed was a small double but comfortable enough. Nice clean fluffy towels.
The breakfast was well presented, buffet style with all the ingredients of for a full English and cereals, yoghurt and fruit available. Vey nice coffee
The evening meal the night before was the highlight of our stay. The tastiest Indian food I've had for a long time. Very attentive staff and good value, particul;arly applying the resident discount.
I will definately stay here again when in the area.

Historic Pioneer with Noble Connections
Bordering the Peak District, pioneering Derby was the site of the first factory during the Industrial Revolution. The city was a silk producer and a former mill forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Derwent Valley Mills, lining the Derwent River between Derby and Matlock.
Also by the river is Darley Park which hosts an annual chamber orchestra concert. The city centre arboretum was England’s first public park, and Markeaton Park in the north-west has a light railway. Nearby is the university campus and 18th-century Kedleston Hall, a Palladian-style mansion involved in filming of ‘The Duchess’.
Another royal connection is Bonnie Prince Charlie who stayed at Exeter House. A replica of his room is in Derby Museum and Art Gallery, and there is a statue of him in Cathedral Square. Opposite is the oldest pub, the Dolphin Inn, but the best nightlife is around Friar Gate.
The nearby Cathedral Quarter is full of eateries and shops, and the Westfield Centre houses big name brands. The Grade II-listed Market Hall offers a range of stalls above underground tunnels which are supposedly haunted by one of Derby’s many ghosts.
Derby County FC play at Pride Park, near the train station and several hotels with parking. Booking.com also offers cheap apartments and guest houses near East Midlands Airport.

The art gallery was interesting, especially the surrealist paintings. I highly recommend the Kedleston Hall! The staffs there were really helpful and informative, and the elegant interior design is especial. The Pickford’s House is interesting too, because there’re many grand upper-class mansions open to tourists but not homey middle-class houses like this. Everyone I met in this town was friendly, like we’d been friends for years.

Plenty of bars and restaurants. Perfect for shopping too.
Very lively on a Saturday night.

We loved the cathedral and old quarter, we loved the Book Café which we visited three times in three days!
We loved all the little shops and cafes near the Cathedral up Saddlers street? Also noticed live music and beautiful places to go at night but we didn’t go into these this time.

Compact city with a mixture of old and new...something for everyone. Ideal for exploring Peak District, Alton Towers etc. Markeaton Park is pretty and a haven on the edge of the city. Great variety of places to eat and range of bars and pubs. Derbion shopping centre has usual range of facilities and entertainment.

The visit to the football club was great I attended an event in the club at night and the kids were overwhelmed.The shopping centre was amazing and so close to my hotel which was walking distance, the coach station has plenty of facilities food outlets plenty and general goods choices
Good location in proximity to restaurants and not too far from the city centre. Friendly and welcoming reception staff and clean rooms with crisp sheets on a very comfortable bed and blackout curtains made for a good night's sleep. Breakfast was included, I requested vegetarian sausages, they were good quality, poached egg not available, but overall better than expected for a budget hotel. Soya milk also available on request. If ever in Derby again, I would stay here.
Location is excellent into Derby centre but also for Donington which is why we stayed over.
The room was clean, with good facilities. Comfy bed, nice bathroom. Good breakfast choices.
If you arrive after 5pm and park in the Riverside car park then it may be worth you paying the car park fee rather than doing this via the hotel as it can work out cheaper. Their standard rate is £8 but we paid less without a discount on 2 consecutive days.
well i was not impressed with this hotel lots of signs about covid but when i got to my room it was not that clean and i found rubbish left in one of the draws and as for breakfast it was very poor the hallway to room smelled and there was no bath gel etc in room and drink cups were not clean in the past bestwestern were always good these days some are 2 nd class hotel but it did have good parking
The location was handy for Derby and it was quite quiet. The hotel inside was also quite quiet and the rooms had air conditioning units which you could alter. With it being on a small services, there was a shop on site, a pub, a KFC, a Subway and a Bagel place. These were open from about 7am to about 10pm. The showers are nice and powerful. The staff were also lovely and friendly.
Great communication with the owner from beginning to end. This property is perfectly situated for good access to many areas of Derby. House was clean, comfortable & welcoming. Will definitely try & stay here again when we visit our family in the future.
Good sized room, clean and quiet and very comfortable beds. Buffet breakfast option (due to COVID) worked well - good choice, quick & tasty. Staff very friendly. Ample free on site car parking. Easy walk from the hotel to the station and city centre.
On the edge of the student area, with 4 pubs within a 4min walking distance, 25/30min walk to City centre, with a fully fitted kitchen, excellent decor, so everything you need in the property, it's perfect for a couple in need of some R&R
the hotel was easy to find, the room was clean and fresh, the decor was beautiful. we love the size of the room and shower room.i love what was in the kitchen for breakfast and that we could help ourselves.
Hotel is really commendable... Rooms were quite spic and span.. The owner of hotel is really amiable... Really one should stay in this hotel.. One of the best place in derby...
