    The radiator was awkward to operate, although staff sorted this after reporting the issue. Very slow drainage in the shower, so I was standing in a pool of water. Some decor is worn, with damage to some wallpaper.

    Very comfortable bed, powerful shower, good location. Helpful staff. Unexpected access to kitchen and lounge area, with complimentary hot drinks and cold food. Cheaper than Wetherspoon hotel opposite.

    No heating on at Arrival.

    No cooked breakfast available but was shown alternative. Room very dated but clean. No heating on at arrival so room very cold should have been pre heated as outside temperature was cold in November.

    Bread was promised for the kitchen, but obviously got forgotten. No worries - I had cereal. The hotel themselves informed me of the likelihood of noise on Friday and Saturday nights only.

    Considering the cost, the room was excellent. Plenty of room, comfy bed, en-suite bathroom with everything clean and working. I particularly liked that they provided simple breakfast supplies in the kitchen. I was able to breakfast more or less as at home for no extra cost.

    Walls were a bit thin such that you could hear your neighbours if they were loud, but no issue for sleeping.

    Ideal location, car park nearby and well priced

    I would have really liked a fan in the room as it was a bit warm

    The staff were incredibly friendly and were so welcoming in showing me around and to my room, I wasn't sure what to expect but had a lovely stay there.

    The price has started to increase, making it less competitive to other places in the area.

    The location is very central, just opposite whetherspoons.

    The rooms where quite warm in the heat with no fan or aircon to cool yourself down and the other people staying in the property where yelling very loudly and stomping up hallway so we could hear everything at 3 in the morning witch wasn’t the most fun. Other than that the rooms where extremely comfy and the staff where amazing!

    We absolutely loved the bar in the property the value for money with the drinks is amazing and not to mention it was located across the road to a spoons! Not to mention the short walk into the town center and the comfy beds.

    If I *have* to nit-pick here - the lack of glasses in the room was a little annoying - has to rely on refilling my used bottles of water, but other than that, no complaints.

    Everything was great - friendly staff, very easy check-in and check out, and clean room. In addition, despite the warnings on the website about noise from the bar, I really couldn't hear anything from two stories above, so wasn't a problem.

    On receiving booking confirmation, I received a polite message informing me that the hotel is above a lively pub and can get very loud and busy especially on Fridays and Saturdays (when we were staying) luckily this was no problem for us as we are originally from the area and know the area and understands how busy barrow gets on a weekend. I found the message a nice gesture, especially if you are not familiar with the area and then to be disappointed with the noise if your seeking a quiet/romantic break away. We had a minor issue in our room on our first night which wasn't even worth a complaint, However felt we should just make the management aware of this issue. They were instantly overly apologetic and offered us a different room, however it was instantly rectified and wasn't a real issue to us in the first place. On our return later that afternoon, we were welcomed back to our room with a complimentary bottle of prossecco and bottles of orange juice for myself as I am pregnant. We didnt expect this and so this was very much appreciated and consideration taken into account for me being pregnant. Gary and Melissa have great customer services awell as the rest of their team. The Derby appears to have been renovated and to a lovely standard. The rooms are clean and tidy, and plenty of tea and coffee facilities on offer the room. This hotel is great for couples seeking prime location for a night out but wouldn't recommend for couples with children/babies due to the noise. But perfect location for us for meeting friends/family. NCP car park down the one way street at the back of the hotel, we paid £2.50 for 24hours which is great for a town centre.
