Cathedral Quarter Hotel - Derby

A lovely characterful place that the owners are clearly trying hard with and providing great service. With some more attention to detail on the finishing off and maintenance of the fittings, and the overall cleanliness of the rooms, this could be excellent.

Made to feel welcome by very friendly staff. Rooms are old but bed was very comfortable. Good breakfast.

It was decent

The property was really run down. I had a suite, the plug sockets were coming out of walls, shower didn’t run, and the TV and electrics set up was a health and safety nightmare. Wouldn’t return

Comfortable, quiet, safe and central location . Excellent breakfast and service. Beautiful building

I stayed during a quiet time and left early. The hotel was pleasant but could be a touch better looked after. I found broken lights everywhere from lift to bathroom. Some uninsulated electrics in the room (really unacceptable!). But otherwise a pleasant period property, nicely finished, clean, nice staff, good communication.

There is no doubt that this hotel has seen better days. A number of items in the room required some TLC. Having said that, the receptionist was super helpful, there is some free parking available, the hotel is conveniently located and it was warm and quiet. It worked for me but YMMV.

An odd hotel, it's noisy, the doors are too small for the frame, so let's in sound and draughts. You can hear other people in the shower. The bathroom had an odd smell, not damp something else. The curtains were black out, which was good and the bed comfortable. Check out nobody to be found. Wasn't offered or told anything about the hotel so no idea if they did food or not. I was just given a key to the room.

Very good location, handy for nice restaurants, pubs and museums. Quiet/safe area. Beautiful entrance/staircase in the hotel plus the dining area we used for breakfast was equally impressive. The full English breakfast was nice although poached eggs were overcooked. We were not waiting long, but I think that we had been forgotten about as breakfast overall was tasty but not piping hot. As well as the cooked breakfast there were self service cereals, toast etc. No pastries, fruit or cooked meats, but the available choice was ample. Service friendly and courteous both at reception and breakfast. Room clean - small but adequate with a comfortable bed. The only problem was the bathroom which was fitted with a rainfall shower so difficult to use if not washing your hair, plus no plug if you wanted a bath. We only stayed one night so not a massive problem. Please note in Room One (should have mentioned it on departure) the shower screen allowed water to escape all over the bathroom floor so needs a seal. Would definitely stay again.

When we first arrived at the hotel, it did not look like the photos. It was down a side street with no immediate parking - we had to park in a neighbouring solicitor’s car park. In the entrance there were lots of boxes and the decor looked tired. The receptionist looked like she was about to finish her shift - her bag on her back ready. We were tempted not to stay however once we saw the room was clean we decided to stay as we had had a long journey. The room was quite small.
