Recent Reviews in Derby

Derby Mickleover Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"Arrived late for one night stay following a wedding so didn’t use any of the amenities or restaurant. Bed was really comfortable, we could control our own heating or air conditioning via a remote which was great as we hate it when these are controlled centrally. Room had tea/coffee tray, hairdryer and spare pillows and there is shampoo, shower gel and hand wash in the bathroom. Bathroom was a little tired, plastic shower head and fittings, and the bath panel and bottom of the door had paint missing which made them look tatty. Comfortable stay and we would stay here again when visiting the area."

The Priest House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We found that the bedroom door was difficult to lock when leaving the room. The tap in the bathroom dripping most of the time if you did not shut it off properly. Not very good design. The shower mixer was very difficult to get right and ended up with the floor flooded. A much simpler mixer would have done the job better."
