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.
Very convenient location to Derby city, walkable to cathedral, shopping centre. Staff were great, room was very comfortable and clean. Would stay again.
The room was clean and spacious and the staff friendly and helpful. The location was excellent for the city and public transport. The breakfast offered a wide selection and the restaurant area was spacious and comfortable.

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.
We didn't have breakfast so know review on this. Room spotless and comfortable. Hotel is in great location.
They were a bit pushy one night during to stay in to us getting food, we were asked 4 times within a short period of time, we hadn't asked for food we am had just gone for a drink in reception area.
Enjoyed our 2 night stay. Beautifully cleaned room, very comfy bed. Lovely breakfast with a wide selection of choice. Knowledgeable staff who were all very helpful. Would defo stay there again.
Just your standard corporate hotel but the staff were really friendly and personable, chatted to us and made us feel really welcome - a lovely pleasant surprise! Made the hotel feel less corporate and more boutique
Great staff so friendly and helpful good location, clean and breakfast was lovely no complaints at all

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.
