“Unknowledgable staff, poor service, would not recommend stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

I booked one night at this B&B after reading some reviews well in advance of my stay and managed to get what I thought was a good deal. Was told that there was a TV and coffee and tea making facilities in each room with shared bathroom. Asked for a room near the bathroom.
Sat nav did not recognise the roads, because they have been recently updated and I did not have an A to Z in my car. Consequently called the hotel for directions. Staff claimed they did not know where I was; asked a local, only to find out I had been down the street. How could people working at a family run B&B not have a good knowledge about the streets and pubs near them?
Booked in without problems. Shown to my room, which was an attic conversion room, up 2 flights of stairs, one of which was extremely steep and dangerous (no handrail and would not have been convenient for any elderly person). Room itself was tiny, had a slanting ceiling and therefore not suitable for anyone tall, had one window, the seams of which were covered in masking tape to block out the draft, a small tv and a sink. I could tell from the draft that the quilt on the bed woud not be adequate so asked for extra bedding which was supplied. The sink was blocked. The staff member mentioned that my request to be put near the bathroom could not be met as the rooms were booked but for an extra £15 she could move me into another room that was near the bathroom (on the floor below). I find it hard to believe that booking in advance would be met with such an explanation - surely they should have put a room aside for me in advance that did meet my requests?
I did not tell them about the sink as by this point I realised that the staff were inept. The bathroom door had masking tape across it and looked like a police crime scene. I was told that despite this it could be used. There was a toilet next to the bathroom and a toilet in the bathroom. Neither were homely and looked more like the toilet and bathroom you would get in a student halls.
In the morning there was no tea or coffee at the breakfast table. The staff came and asked you if you wanted tea or coffee which meant you could not refill as you wanted or grab a quick cup of tea. The breakfast was not too impressive and again when asking for directions to a local place I was met with dodgy directions, of which I was unable to follow.
Overall would not recommend at all. A "family run B&B" with no homely feeling, poor knowledge of the local area and inadequate and poor facilities.

Room Tip: If you choose to book a room here make sure it is on the first floor. The second set of stairs are a...

“Manager was a disgrace to the hotel industry”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

I had booked 3 nights at this hotel.i currently work nights so have to pay for a night in which I wouldn't be staying just so I can check in at 6am.i called the hotel the day before as a courtesy call just to let them know I'll be checking in at that time.i was greeted by the hotel manager who abruptly told me "no I don't think you will be checking in at that time" so I was like ok,I explained my working situation and that was the time I could check in and again abruptly replied "again you will not be checking in at that time" and hung up the phone.disgusted at this I called back and asked for the manager and the same person said "I am the manager so if there is nothing else then goodbye" and hung up the phone.i still don't know what time I could have checked in even though I'd paid for the room.i have stayed here before,I paid £30 per night.the rooms are tiny,in an attic up 3 flights of the steepest stairs I've ever dared to climb.the heating is turned off at night and the t.v did not have sound.i complained about this and was assured it would get sorted but didn't.i didn't expect much for £30 but didn't expect the frosty service and frosty room.yes the window had frost on the inside.id say you get what you pay for but here you get a lot less with service and quality.my advice pay the £5 extra and stay at travelodge!

“Cosy but a little worn out b&b..still worth a stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Nice little b&b in the center of derby. If you want a quiet room make sure you will get one to the backside. The en-suited rooms look a little old an worn out but ok...carpet quit dirty. I used to live in shared houses in derby when i was a student so i am used to a quit low standard. This is not a five star hilton but nice quit and cosy. Unfortunately the managers start to safe money on customer service as they had a ala card breakfest with full english freshly scrambled eggs...etc. thats unfortunately all gone. I stayed already 3 times here and i will continue staying here

“Should have checked trip advisor first!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Arrived at the hotel for a 1 night stay, as visiting Derby for a reunion. Hotel recommended by the reunion organisers, I soooo should have checked here before booking....

Check in process fine, went to room, very dated, clean, but dated. Room booked was a double en suite, but was upgraded to a family room en suite, bonus, great customer service... no, later found to be because they were fully booked...

Looking around the room, slightly confused by the fact that there was only 1 door (the one we entered the room through)... Checking with Reception, we found that our "ensuite" was in fact the door (with no lock on) across the corridor... Now I'm no professor of the english (or french) language, but Ensuite describes a bathroom which is directly connected to a bedroom, which this was not, so how could a hotel describe a room in such a way, when it clearly isn't? I suppose if the room was occupied by men, they prob wouldn't mind, but for 2 females (me and my sister) to use a bathroom that anyone can access, with no lock on the door... I dont think so!

Back to reception we went, checked why she advised the room was ensuite when it clearly wasn't, she had no explanition. The hotel does offer a cheaper "standard" room, which has a shared bathroom, but this was not what we had booked, or paid for! After 10-15 minutes of conversation with a very rude member of staff, which involved a lot of "What do you expect me to do about it" attitude and arrogance, finally got a refund and stayed elsewhere.

Room Tip: Stay at the Metro Inn acroos the road for £5 less per room!
