The whole hotel is great, recently refurbished everywhere is new and very well maintained. The rooms were so comfortable, we slept so well. Breakfast was also excellent, great choices, great food and such lovely staff. There is nothing that we could fault. AND great value for money, the location is perfect for getting to, parking and the proximity to the city centre! Amazing.

The staff were so courteous and warm. Very helpful Sky in reception and Vanessa was excellent in the lounge in the evening. Despite a very large booking being expected they couldn’t do enough to ensure we were able to eat before going out for the evening. The servers too were warm and friendly and you actually felt like they cared about you and your stay.

Modern, Fresh, and Very Inviting

With a central location near the bus station, the Holiday Inn in Derby serves as an ideal overnight stay, conveniently located in the city centre and easily accessible by bus. Whilst it was being renovated around the stairwell, the services and room were modern, fresh, and very inviting after a morning's travelling to Derby. The location of the bathroom and its amenities is always a learning curve; it functions well and remains efficient for bathing and other hygienic purposes. The staff were friendly and supportive, even if you were uncertain about something, they remained eager to help. It was cheeky to offer a cheaper discount on breakfast the day before you plan to have it. There weren't any significant issues during my stay.

My room (214) was a really lovely room and it was very clean, comfortable and spacious. The bathroom was super too. However, there were some things other than the room that niggled me. The double doors between sections of the second floor often banged even when you were trying to pass through them quietly. This is just annoying (and noisy!) for all concerned. I had dinner in the hotel restaurant on the Saturday evening and it was absolutely fine but I did feel that the two guys running the show (one on the bar, one on the floor) were stretched a little thin. Maybe it was a one-off, but resourcing this properly should be looked at. And finally, I went to the Reception desk on the 4th floor after breakfast to enquire about the car park discount and to say I was packing up my things and will be leaving shortly. She said not to worry about bringing my card back up and told me to leave it in my room. She checked if I owed anything and think she must have checked me out as I was locked out of my room when I went back downstairs to finish packing. I had to go back up to the 4th floor and get it sorted. Also, the promised £8 discount wasn't applied to my car park charges when I was exiting the basement car park (Derbion) despite me adding my registration number to the system on Reception. Things like this are so basic, and SO easy to get right!
