- David (9/5): good value room with everything you would like to see, food available next door, and easy access - clean spacious room, convenient pub next door with good food and service lawnmower/strimmer at 7:50am sunday morning 10/5/26 cutting the grass outside, appreciate these things need doing but a little too early if you've been partying the night before
- Robert (10/5): great place to stay - great place - reception in the pub
- Nelson (7/5): Good location - We had a lovely holiday staying at this hotel with our family. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the location was absolutely beautiful. It was a great base for us while travelling around the UK, and we really enjoyed our stay overall. We had a pleasant stay and would recommend the hotel for its cleanliness and excellent location. The only area that could be improved is the breakfast. We felt that the food quality did not quite meet the high standard we expected, and there is definitely room for improvement. Additionally, the staff seemed to watch guests very closely while serving food, which made us feel a little uncomfortable and took away from the relaxed atmosphere.
- Tracey (9/5): Really pleasant - The room was spacious, clean and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly too. Good parking too. There wasn’t anything not to like
- David (9/5): - Friendly staff. Great food. Value for money. Nothing, have visited before and will definitely do so again.
- Alistair (8/5): Ideal location, clean secure rooms, great food; the Blue Jay a must if you have business in Derby. - Breakfast excellent friendly waitress server and even got chatting to the Chef who met all my requirements. Portion of chips with my steak was a bit miserly. Steak was spot on could do with a few more chips.

- Bina_Baby82 (9/5): Nice and friendly hotel Inn - Staying at the Blue Jay Derby for the weekend during the Easter period with my children, as we were going to Slickcity. I had a lovely and a warm welcoming stay based on the Staff members called Shannon and Reece, who made my experience enjoyable and unforgettable. They both have good customer service skills and are very friendly. The Food was good and the portions are a good size, value for money. The menu also had a variety of options even with the children menu. There was a Children play area within the pub, children friendly pub. The pub was clean, toilets clean The bedrooms was clean and spacious based on a family of 4 Also free parking was a bonus. N/A

- Tasila (7/5): -
- Bethany (7/5): - The staff were very welcoming and the food was very nice. The mattress was a little on the hard side and the water from the shower fluctuated from hot to cold.
- Beverley (10/5): - The Manageress was one of the most helpful I have ever encountered in any "establishment" my wife and I have stayed in. As I am quite severely disabled the room that was provided was perfect, also having sustained an injury to my elbow after a fall-(I must emphasise this occurred elsewhere) but even despite this she administered first class first aid and supplied me with additional bandages-thank you-your kindness and help was outstanding.
