We stayed at The Derby Hotel for a total of 3 nights in February 2009. The hotel is situated very close to the Gloucester Road tube station which offers service on the District, Circle, and Piccadilly lines, enabling you to get to the majority of the top sites in the city. For the location, it was reasonably priced. However, we... more

Nothing more to say other than it's one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed with. Not very clean, terrible decor, and very run down. Staff are not very friendly, and weren't willing to sort out errors. The only good thing is the location! more

Hotel clean and fresh, reception staff polite and efficient but not very welcoming. Be careful though as some rooms are a single room (the head board shows this) with a 3/4 bed in and are used as double rooms so are very very small. It is a budget hotel so you get what you pay for. more

rooms are oldish, but clean and no "bad suprises"; 24h reception, friendly service, excelent neighbourhood, good metro service; meets expectations, nothing fancy, but does meet expectations. more

Stayed at the Derby during February school hols with husband and 2 teenagers. We were given a basement room ( told by reception staff it was on ground floor ! ) looking UP to the front street - noisy but bearable. Sink in bathroom had a large crack in it, but could still be used and yes the curtains fell... more

The hotel claims to have been fully renovated in 2007, but you... more

My stay here was awful. We arrived just after 7pm, having booked this hotel as a way to break up Eurostar travel and then onward train journey home, the reception was unmanned, there was no bell to draw attention. After a few minutes a young man came from what I now know to be the bar / breakfast room, and... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in October 2008. First, the plus points. The location is within seven or eight minutes walk of either Gloucester Road or Earl's Court tube stations. You can be at any Central London location within 20 minutes of leaving the hotel. There is a good selection of restaurants between the hotel and Gloucester Road Station.... more
