Cathedral Quarter Hotel - Derby

Hotel is a little warn but lovely historical building. Good breakfast and staff were excellent.. especially the lovely spoken lady on the front desk who was very helpful.

I paid £60 a night ( B&B) for a very small, dimly lit room with curtains that wouldn’t shut/open properly and a torn blind. The room was of a poor standard and in dire need of doing up and a refurb. The fixtures and fittings were old and only added to the gloom about the place. The lavatory wasn’t entirely clean, and nor was the bath. Whilst the receptionist who dealt with me, and the lady who served breakfast , were polite, there was otherwise nothing favourable about my stay in this hotel. The bedding didn’t feel fresh and so made for uncomfortable sleeping. I would never stay in this hotel again and would not recommend it.

The hotel is in an impressive historic building with some great features and everywhere was clean. However, the property needs a handyman, and quickly. Paint peeling off the ceiling, holes in the wall from old fixtures not filled in, no heating, no working lifts spoil what could be an excellent hotel. If a bit of money was spent on it now, it will save spending a lot more soon. The free breakfast was very good. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Especially Ishmail, who gave us a quick tour of the lounge and features. Overall, great building in a good location with great staff, let down by a lack of investment.

Stay before and it’s been ok but this time Door stuck had a job getting out of room Sink an bath filled up with water took ages to go down No heating , portable didn’t work Curtains falling off rail No hair dryer in room , lack of towels, coffee cups Rubbish under desk For the money you pay you shouldn’t have all these issues

Lovely looking building and online looks to have good features. Disappointed when arrived lift didn't work, lights in bath and tv in bathroom nor working. key to room not working so had to keep going up and down stairs. empty bottle left in fridge and breakfast was basic.

This is not a standard by-the-numbers modern hotel. The hotel is finely decorated with many beautiful features, but a little worn round the edges and some areas of the hotel seem to need maintenance (the lift was also out of order). We got a very big room for the night, with two separate sleeping areas, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Parking is tricky, as the hotel has very limited parking itself, so we had to use a (close-by) public car park. The location is in the Cathedral Quarter of Derby (we could see the cathedral from our room) so very convenient for access to the centre of Derby.

No aircon, little interest from staff in this. Didn’t see a heater under the desk so spent the night freezing. Struggled with bags, offered help after I got down the steps. Would not stay again until they fixed the heating issue.

No complaints about cleanliness. No plug in the Bath. Shower/bath tap controls lacked any signage or instructions. No marmalade at breakfast! Lift not working. Men’s toilet in foyer out of order. Staff always charming and helpful. Mattress the softest I have ever slept on which did my back in. Room was cramped for two.

I had a good stay. My room was not super clean (little bits of plastic wrapper and sequins on the floor, presumably from the previous guest, and a couple of spiders in the ensuite). But it was very comfy and quiet, despite the hotel being very central. Breakfast was good, the building is beautiful and staff were really lovely.
