Finger sandwiches of egg, cheese, beef, ham, scones with butter, jam & cream and a huge pot of tea. Very nice on a... More

I have now been back to this Hotel in Derby about 5 times and each one brings a new and interesting experience. I went here originally because the hotel over the road "The Midland Hotel" ( now called the Hallmark ) did not do well regarding the meals. What a difference it was. Food not only served on real plates... More

I recently spent an evening at this hotel whilst visiting the nearby Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, a heritage line that runs from Duffield to Wirksworth. My room, (No 105), on ground level as I have walking disabilities. It contained a very comfortable double bed, plenty of bathroom space, a modern flatscreen tv with Freeview channels and the usual tea/coffee making facilities... More

A nice hotel with helpful staff, located close to the station. You can't hear the trains, though, and there's not much passing traffic. A very useful carpark, and only about 12 minutes walk to the Cathedral Quarter. I didn't have the breakfast, so can't comment on that. The bed was comfortable, I slept like a log, but the room (314)... More

This is a perfect hotel if you have an early train to catch. The hotel is pretty old, worn down and has many stairs. Therefore it's not suitable for elderly and disabled. I would recommend this hotel for a short visit to the city. Make sure you visit the nice pub Brunswick further down the same street.
