its really hard to know where to start with this review so I will start from arrival. Car park - grim, but thankfully free at the moment. Check in- friendly and quick, really cant fault the ladies on reception. Lift out of service. Allocated a room on the second floor, not really a problem, I had called and asked for a room with access to both sides of the bed as I am only too familiar with best western selling rooms as doubles but really only fit for S/O. Great room given but a bit of a trek from reception when carrying luggage and a dog. The building is big and old and understandably has been empty for a few months but the smell of awful air freshener was too much. Our room was traditional but well appointed. View from window - grim. Heat unbearable. We had a problem with our room, somewhere there was a continued leak and what started of as a damp patch, on the carpet on one side of the bed turned in to a full puddle that spread to the other side of the bed. We voiced our concern but unfortunately there was no room swap to be had due to the hotel being at capacity. Thankfully we brought slippers but they ended up sopping wet and not fit for purpose. There is a small enclosed garden, nice enough to sit in with a drink and to walk our dog around. Big ant nest saw us soon return indoors though. No where for us to eat having a dog with us but that is the same at many hotels sadly. Bar prices ok but avoid the bottled beer. totally over priced. Sleep disturbed many times by what we could only think was clunking pipes. on check out the receptionist offered a bottle of wine for all our problems, it was appreciated but nothing would make up for such a calamity filled night. Sadly I shall not return but again the staff were great.
Derby Station Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

Derby Station Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

Derby|0.16km from Derby City Centre
I consider myself lucky that this was a visit that meant I wasn’t in the hotel for too much time, we were there for a weekend event at the Hallmark Hotel and had stayed here last year too. The hotel has gone downhill considerably since 2019. We arrived to be told the room had been cleaned, it hadn’t so had to lug all our stuff back down to reception so that housekeeping could do their job. Thankfully a member of the reception team came to give us a hand. The room was okay, but I certainly don’t think it had had a deep clean in the last year, the dust build up above the mirror in the bathroom made my stomach turn. The sofa had rather a lot of stains on it and was very small, but at least there was one. The bed was horrendous. Everytime I turned over the whole thing moved, it was bouncier than a trampoline. When we arrived back at the hotel on the Saturday afternoon we thought it hadn’t been cleaned as there bed was still unmade, but then we realised that there were fresh towels. I have NEVER stayed in a hotel where the beds not been made. I didn’t complain because frankly I didn’t want to go back downstairs, there were a lot of young men hanging around the reception areas and in the corridors and the car park. It was actually quite unnerving walking around the hotel, I completely understand that these chaps had rooms but they gave the place a real feel of a “hostel” not a hotel. In addition the lift was so slow I took the stairs as it was quicker. I am glad I never have to stay here again.
Pentahotel Derby

Pentahotel Derby

Derby|0.3km from Derby City Centre
I recently stayed at the Pentahotel Derby for a total of 3 nights, split across 2 stays. On both occasions, I didn’t feel very welcome checking in. On the second occasion, I was allocated a room with two single beds, with an accessible bathroom. I wasn’t given the option of a double bedroom and had to go down to get this changed, as there was availability. In addition, when I first checked in, I had to leave my credit card details in case I went over my company’s meal allowance, but on the second visit, I didn’t have to – inconsistent if you ask me. The public areas (reception, restaurant, and corridors) are nicely decorated. The food in the restaurant during the evenings is good; a special shoutout to one of the female waiters. She was always bubbly, and proactive, and nothing was too much of an ask for her. It was initially a tad unclear if you ordered food at the bar, but it turned out there is table service! Keeping on the topic of food – breakfast, which was mediocre. It was very disappointing that the coffee machine was still out of order on the last morning of check-out (Tuesday wasn’t working / Friday wasn’t working). Moving on to the double room. The decoration is minimalistic, and I was satisfied with the room’s cleanliness, although my room wasn't cleaned on the second night's stay. It is probably one of the better hotel rooms to stay in, in Derby – by the limited selection of hotels in Derby, not necessarily by choice. I found the bed comfortable and the bathroom acceptable. There was blood on one of the towels, which was slightly concerning though! One thing that lets Penta down (same in Reading) is that they don’t have an iron and an iron board in their rooms. Instead, you must collect one (if there is one available) from the corridor. Not only is this very annoying, but the irons also have buttons missing, and are in urgent need of repair. I stay in a lot of hotels with work, and I found the following things irritating: Tap placement doesn’t allow great hand placement in the sink / No soft close toilet seats / No master light switch near the bed (for all lights) / On floor 2 facing the car park, loud conversations can be heard, but not clearly / Room doors don’t soft close and slam (can be heard from the bed) / Having to use a key card to access the room floor during the day was irritating / No fast check-out option / TV remote was missing backing on both occasions / TV system is clunky and a nightmare to use I rate this hotel… a bit… meh! I think the rooms are a lot better than the Jury’s Inn, and if you can deal with the general shoddiness, I’d stay here rather than at a Jurys / Premier Inn.

Premier Inn Derby CC Riverlights
4/544 Reviews
Check-in is available at 3pm. The room and bathroom are large, but the windows are smaller than the room. The windows of other rooms in the building opposite have no view. The windows are locked and cannot be opened. I contacted the front desk and said that all the windows in the hotel cannot be opened, but because there are ventilation facilities, There was no feeling of depression during my stay. The bed was comfortable and clean. WiFi is slow. The location is close to the city center and a 30-minute walk to the train station. The service attitude of the hotel was poor. I paid in advance to stay for 3 nights. Due to an emergency at home, I only stayed for two nights. After many negotiations with the hotel, the hotel would not refund the remaining 1 night's prepaid room fee.

Hotel breakfast in general, wins at a cheap price. Very warm. An extra bed can be placed in the room. The hotel has free parking. There is a bar next door, I don’t see other things to sell,
Leonardo Hotel Derby - Formerly Jurys Inn

A hotel that helps a colleague make a mistake. This family was good in all aspects of the evaluation and chose this family. The hotel's been making good comments. Nice position, too! Good recommendation!
Travelodge Derby Cricket Ground
4.3/542 Reviews
Enjoyed the stay - had a lovely and fairly cheap (by today's standards) evening meal. Pizzas are huge - and pudding was excellent. Some guy took his meal to his room though and bunged his leftovers out in the corridor where it stayed all night (most unsightly and a bit smelly). Not Travelodges' fault though - because why didn't he take his leftovers back to the dining room! Staff were very pleasant - I would stay again - maybe for the cricket if I got a even numbered room of course!
Holiday Inn Express Derby - Pride Park
4.2/599 Reviews
Just back from a 2 night stay at this hotel. Arrived around 6pm on the Friday evening. Quick check-in - nice clean room on the second floor. About 5 minutes walk from Derby station. Breakfast was the usual buffet but it was topped up at regular intervals - nice and hot and set us up for the day. Would happily use again in the future.
