"We really enjoyed our recent overnight stay. We were three adults and one child in an executive room with one kingsize bed and two proper single beds, (i.e. not sofa beds or guest beds). We enjoyed the breakfast and the pool, sauna and steam room. The water temperature in the pool was lovely. The only negative was that the lift was out of order when we were checking out which was challenging for my elderly father as we were on the top floor. "

"There was only one member of staff there over our 2 day stay & she was really nice and helpful (she seemed to be covering reception, housekeeping & kitchen). Got to say all the public areas could do with a good hoover and the skylight in our room was covered in green algae. Our room was clean (apart from the skylights) but small. Breakfast was really poor for the price we paid. Hotel in general needs a good update as has loads of potential."

"Very quiet area of Derby and very close to ships, pubs, etc.... Will definitely stay here again, beautiful building"

"Hotel bars, restaurants, reception were well maintained and modern. Bedrooms a little out dated and worn."

"In a phone call from someone from the hotel ( turns out they were from the Crescent hotel, owned by by same company,) I specifically asked about breakfast time as we had to be at Assembly rooms at 8 am. I was assured breakfast started at 7.30, even on a Saturday. On arrival I found this was not the case. The person on reception assured us that it would be be sorted with either the chef coming in early or us being walked round to other hotel. Saturday morning staff knew nothing about this but did take us to other hotel. The lift was an act of faith; we only used it going up, despite mobility issues , and twice had to get a member of staff to get the lift as the door did not always close properly. Meal in the bar was excellent…but was the restaurant ever open for anything other than breakfast? We also had to ask for more toilet roll; even budget hotels leave you a spare!"

"The rooms are spacious, but a bit dated. The mattress was hard for me. The bathroom needed tiles fixing, the shower was powerful and pleasant. We booked dinner at 7.30 pm waited for our simple grilled chicken almost an hour, no one informed us until we asked what is going on. The breakfast was shambolic -£24 per person and barely any food available, no pastries, we waited for fried eggs as they run out. The employees available as breakfast hosts were not welcoming and engaging at all, so disappointing. Overall not good value for the money."

"Hotel was lovely but breakfast was disappointing. Outdoor Lido excellent."

"good and what it said on the tin"

"Staff were all friendly and helpful and felt they were able to speak to you without being hurried. Breakfast was excellent and the one evening meal we had was too."
