The room was perfect and clean with 2 bottles of free water tea and coffee. I had a meal in there restaurant of fish and chips . And I can honestly say that was the best piece of fish and batter I have ever had not one drop of frying grease . Top marks to the chef and a great price . Would not hesitate to stay or recommend to anyone .

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.

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

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.
Staff were both helpful and extremely friendly, the room met my expectations [in fact compared with a number of Hotels I have used in the last few years it had more than enough facilities for clothing etc], it is situated clos enough to Derby Railway Station and City centre to be able reach on foot comfortably. Private taxi companies were in close proximity to the Hotel.
We traveled from Rugby to Glasgow and then to Loch Ness.
At Derby I stayed only one night but everything was as I expected !
I am very satisfied with this hotel !
(in Glasgow I was very disappointed with the accommodation and the cleanliness!)
I will recommend the hotel in Derby to all my friends !
Kind regards,
Marius.
I stayed at the Derby Conference Centre as I was enrolled on a course about 15 minutes away. The room was basic but clean, the staff were very friendly and the food was okay. I have stayed in nicer places (decor, etc), but for the cost and convenience, I was happy. Free parking for hotel guests.
Cheap and cheerful. Needed a place to crash for an event in Derby. Parking on site was free. There was an event on the night we stayed over. Our room was right above the event and the music was loud. The staff were really helpful to move us to a quieter room on the other side of the hotel.
The staff were really friendly and accommodating, the rooms and hotel were very clean we liked it that much we booked for a second night through the hotel it's self nothing was too much trouble. I come to derby every few weeks to see my partner and will definitely be using the hotel again
Good location, walking distance from Derby city centre. Hotel has 4 parking spaces and plenty of pay and display parking available next to the hotel but it’s free between 6pm- 8am. Staff are very friendly and hospitable. Nice clean rooms. Very good value for money.
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
A charming pub/hotel room , very clean , I’m staying here again soon as I simply had no problems whatsoever.
Its a little gem in Derby , I can tell that the staff really care about the place and it shows in the room and the pub itself .
We are used to Leonardo hotels and they are of a good standard. This one is in the heart of Derby, but is a little tired and maybe needs a bit of a lick of paint. But the breakfast is superb and that staff are really helpful.
