Continental breakfast a bit lacking in available options. Cooked breakfast was OK. There was only instant coffee available.
The fact that no fresh coffee at breakfast meant we went off site for breakfast the second day of our stah.

Historic Pioneer with Noble Connections
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.

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.
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.

We loved the cathedral and old quarter, we loved the Book Café which we visited three times in three days!
We loved all the little shops and cafes near the Cathedral up Saddlers street? Also noticed live music and beautiful places to go at night but we didn’t go into these this time.

Compact city with a mixture of old and new...something for everyone. Ideal for exploring Peak District, Alton Towers etc. Markeaton Park is pretty and a haven on the edge of the city. Great variety of places to eat and range of bars and pubs. Derbion shopping centre has usual range of facilities and entertainment.

Good location in proximity to restaurants and not too far from the city centre. Friendly and welcoming reception staff and clean rooms with crisp sheets on a very comfortable bed and blackout curtains made for a good night's sleep. Breakfast was included, I requested vegetarian sausages, they were good quality, poached egg not available, but overall better than expected for a budget hotel. Soya milk also available on request. If ever in Derby again, I would stay here.
The location was handy for Derby and it was quite quiet. The hotel inside was also quite quiet and the rooms had air conditioning units which you could alter. With it being on a small services, there was a shop on site, a pub, a KFC, a Subway and a Bagel place. These were open from about 7am to about 10pm. The showers are nice and powerful. The staff were also lovely and friendly.
We had Room 4 which is a lovely big and private corner room.
The large Superking Bed was very comfy.
All staff were Friendly Welcoming and Professional more so having to cope with the heat wave.
Ideal location in the centre of Derby within walking distance to anywhere you need to be.
Lovely freshly cooked Breakfast with plenty of hot and cold choice.
The hotel has an amazing collection of period furnishings in each room and around the building. A pub adjacent to it with again period details and good food. It's a short walk into Derby, free parking and we even had a four poster bed. If you like the antique look then you would love it .
