We stayed as we hired a room for a party. The room(s) we hired were just wonderful. We had the run of 4 interconnecting rooms all splendidly furnished and decorated with period ornaments and artefacts. The buffet spread was excellent and actually too much. We ordered a buffet for 20 people to cater for approx 30 who turned up and there was plenty left. The catering and bar staff couldn't do enough to help us.

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.

A small city with lots of history if you know where to look.
A small city with lots of history if you know where to look. Some lovely museums and one of our favourites was Pickford's House. It's a busy city with a lot of fast traffic and roads so not too easy to get around by car if you're visiting. Nearby Darley Park is a nice area as well.

At the conference centre, All Staff were caring and considerate of all clients, regardless of needs. The hotel bedroom was deep cleaned between each client. Were willing to go that extra mile.
Will come back soon.
Derby parking restrictions in town centre made it difficult for disabled persons to drive themselves, park safely, and retain independence in areas around combined Court and water areas, etc.
Taxis had to be used from conference centre return, but drivers were a credit to Derby, kind, courteous and helpful.
The suggested car parking not easy to access and nearest was closed.
Signage was confusing to someone not familiar with Derby.
We chose to eat in the conference centre due to road congestion we noticed on way in and after going in and out by taxi. We also utilised shops for snacks while in town.

Countryside is nice, town is a bit of a dive you would only really go to Derby if your planning on going to Alton Towers or maybe walking. Pub in the woods was my destination for a wedding and that was nice

We'd only planned on a visit for the night to get a live band gig in.

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.

Derby is a fantastic city for an weekend stay.
Derby is a fantastic city for an weekend stay.
Plenty of bars and restaurants. Perfect for shopping too.
Very lively on a Saturday night.
Personally I would recommend more Christmas activities. What was there was nicely done though.
The hotel is in a good location to the south of Derby. It is close to various styles of restaurants.
The room is basic but very comfortable. The breakfast is delicious.
The hotel’s reception and dining/ bar area has been recently refurbished to a good standard. Complimentary tea and coffee are available from the reception area throughout the day. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel represents excellent value for money! There is also ample car parking.
Only a short walk to / from Derby station. Lovely bar area and really delicious pizza. Great selection at breakfast. Room was a good size and had tea & coffee making facilities. Mirror was also right next to the hairdryer (so many hotels don’t do this!). Room was nice and quiet at night.
Stayed to go to Pride Park for a match. Great location for that but a bit of a walk to the city (though the best pub in Derby - The Brunswick - is on the way). As expected from a chain hotel but all worked well and was perfectly comfortable
Great location in the centre of Derby. Excellent value for money when compared to other hotels in the area. Lovely old building with a lot of character. Breakfast was excellent, staff friendly and helpful
Lovely place, lovely people and I now know where the best pizzas in Derby are, go right around the back of the hotel and follow your nose, and the Italian flag! Pizza Pony!
