Visited this hotel again on business and found staff helpful bringing me a hair dryer within minutes of calling reception. Ate in the restaurant one evening and the food wasn't bad at all and the service was good. They try hard with what they have to offer. More

I visit derby maybe 5-6 times a year and have always stayed at the king sound because they always get it right.. Yes it might need a bit of money spent on it but when most of your guests are workers and day trippers who at the end of the day just want top service and a comfy bed to... More

This hotel is unfortunately the best of a bad bunch in Derby. It's tired and in need of a manor refurb, but there is no alternative that offers the range of services this place does. I have been staying here for many years and the only thing that has changed is the staff (at least they now offer a friendly... More

The room and bathroom were clean, plenty of fresh towels. Room smelt a little damp (due to the extreme wet weather they had been having) until the air conditioning was put on but it worked really well. Better room than some I'd experienced in London, UK and Melbourne, Australia. Derby is not a luxury resort and considering the climate and... More
