The location was amazing as its directly attached to the Westfield Shopping Centre, bars, restaurants and major roads meaning your not stuck on a loop rd. It took us no more than 30 mins to drive to Alton Towers which was a great... More

I really want to give this full marks but rarely do I unless they really go beyond expectations. Stayed with girlfriend for one night to work alongside a quick business meeting during the day. The room itself is lovely with a great view on the 3rd floor overlooking the river. Bed was comfy and the bathroom was great, has all... More

Very helpful reception at this city centre hotel. 4th Floor rooms excellent and well away from the Bus station side of the hotel. 4th floor also houses the restaurant and you do not need your room keycard in the lift for this floor. Only drawback is the hike back to the multi storey carpark - the entrance for which is... More

Styled several times at his hotel and have always found it to be good standard. The rooms are pleasant enough and well laid out with all you need for he night. The bar area was well stocked with decent selection. The evening meals also offered a good choice of styles. Parking is across the road and a nuisance when raining,... More

We booked a one night stay as we were going to the theatre. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean and still had the new carpet smell! Breakfast was lovely and had everything from fruit to full English. Only downside was the parking which is a short walk away in a multi storey carpark.... More

The room we had booked was an executive room number 325. It was worth that little bit extra money as it had a large seating area and plenty of space to spread out. It's design might not up to everyone taste but it was clean. The bath room was a little on the small side but that was ok. The... More

Really nice new hotel smack in the heart of Derby. Great for shopping and access, but no parking other than Westfield shopping centre which was a bit of a pain. Dave on reception was so friendly and funny, the Exec room was stunning (better than many twice-the-price hotels we've stayed in) and the bar on the 4th floor was lovely;... More
