A little gem. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was excellent in terms of quality and quantity. Lovely atmosphere in the bar an restaurant area. Staff were fantastic, genuinely seemed to care about us enjoying our stay. As I was going with my Mum, I asked for rooms near to each other and this request was accommodated. I would love to return.

We traveled here on 29th of Feb for a business trip and stayed for the night. Kelis was at reception and offered the best service possible. She gave us nice quiet room on the top floor and helped us with all our requests. She made sure we were taken care of. The rooms were spacious and clean.

Check in was smooth and the girl that checked us in was really friendly and informative. Room had everything you need, liked the desk in the room to be able to work from Basic bathroom, needed grout updated Tv had good selection of channels Had a drink in bar, the guy serving completely ignored my husband for a good 5 mins - whilst he was sorting some glasses We had to ask to be served - I then got a flat Prosecco which I had to change and the glass wasn’t filled so was a bit disappointed Nice bar area Breakfast was really good and the staff in the morning were really attentive All in all good stay Misery guts behind bar needs telling

Very modern looking hotel situated on an industrial estate close to Pride park. Easy to find with great roads, parking outside the hotel is not included. The reception is very modern and homely with comfy sofas which leads to the dinning room and bar areas. Our room on the 3rd floor was excellent, comfy bed, desk plus 2 easy chairs, standard hotel teacoffee tray, flat screen TV. Bathroom was wet room style with deluge and standard shower heads with shampoo and shower gel. The check in was 3pm with a great 3pm checkout. Breakfast is also an extra. There is also a small but adequate hotel gym with a sauna. Staff were happy polite and friendly couldn't ask for more really. Only have 1 negative which I know is linked to Fire regulations but the selfclosing room doors actually slam shut not just close so if your neibours open close there door late at night it will wake you up. Would definitely use again.

We had just one night in room 228. I was happy it wasn't longer. The place is on a modern, very busy, business park and attracts a mainly corporate clientele. We spoke to some regular visitors in the very nice bar area and they really don't like it. They told us what to expect and were correct. Our room was unbearably hot through the night. The bed is uncomfortable and all the bedding is marked or stained. The shower is good. Large TV. It's handy for the station and for Pride Park (Derby County football club). It was expensive for us at £162. We didn't stop for breakfast as it was £18 each. There's plenty of choice in Derby. It's up to you of course but many will be captive by their own companies who choose to use it as their preferred accommodation.

Dear Tonia, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the shower and the large TV in your room. It's also pleasing to know our proximity to the station and Pride Park was convenient for your needs. Regarding the temperature in your room, we understand that comfort is key, and we regret to hear that the room was too warm for your liking. While our hotel is designed with an air flow unit and extra fans upon request, we acknowledge that during particularly warm periods, this may not suffice for all guests. We appreciate your comments on the bed comfort and the condition of the bedding. Please rest assured that we maintain stringent cleaning procedures and will look into your concerns to ensure our high standards are upheld. We understand that the cost of accommodation and breakfast can be a consideration, and we strive to provide a quality experience that reflects the value. For future visits, we invite you to explore the various room amenities and services that may enhance your stay, such as our 24-hour gym and sauna, or the inviting atmosphere of our Pentalounge. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Ashley Bond, Operations Manager

Clean, tidy, breakfast good. Very convenient for the railway station. Reception staff not particularly helpful (initially said that they didn't have a double room for us, even though we'd booked one, and then miraculously found one!). Otherwise all good. Quite good access to the town centre, about 15 minutes' walk.

We stayed here for one night in October. Check in was efficient and we were pleased to find a mini bottle of Prosecco and a bag of popcorn to welcome us in our room. The room wasn’t big but there was a good use of space so it felt less crowded than hotels we’ve stayed in with bigger rooms. I loved having robes and slippers, and the shower was great as it was powerful and I managed to easily get it to the right temperature for me. The shower gel smelled really lovely. I found the bed and pillows to be very comfortable. There was also a comfy chair by the desk which I particularly liked as it had wheels on it which had a very smooth motion against the carpet. I don’t like it when a wheeled chair is hard to manoeuvre The only downside for me was not having a plug socket at my side of the bed to charge my phone overnight, although there was a plug socket on the other side. I like to have my phone by my bed to check the time etc. The breakfast was delicious in a relaxed setting with lovely decor. I would definitely stay here again.
