Very,very noisy!
It was very, very noisy which caused us lack of sleep. We were attending a Wedding the following day but unfortunately had to come back after the main meal as were both very tired. Another night of loud music and voices. We booked 3 nights but only stayed 2. I certainly would not recommend room number 5! Not a great experience.

Staff were helpful and the facilities were good. Let down by racist and homophobic clientele discussing their views very loudly and openly. Given that this was the night before Belper Pride, I would like to see the hotel sending out a clear message that this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated.

Room was adaquate, but the bathroom had a hand held shower which if you had fitted it in to the cradle, would have sprayed water out of the bath. Mattress and bedding had seen better days. Room was above reception area, and late night guests were very noisy and then staff started hoovering around midnight. Breakfast was very disappointing, dried up fruit, running out of the basics of bread and croissants. Only one staff member to serve on a busy weekend morning. Asked if they had available non-dairy milk and was told she would fetch some soy milk. Time passed and as she was obviously busy, I chose not to disturb her. As we were departing she challenged me that I should have reminded her, as she was busy. I said gently that it was not big deal and not important. She then sharply told me not to be so rude. Not impressed.

Wouldn’t want to stay if any events were on!
Wi-Fi was unavailable on Saturday afternoon and evening but was available on Sunday morning. They could do with some quieter rooms as midnight is too late for me! Staff were brilliant both evening meal and breakfast - the continental breakfast was more than sufficient so we didn’t try the cooked option!

Bring ear plugs for weekend stay - but good hotel
Room big, bed comfortable, plenty of storage space. Large bathroom with bath and noisy saniflo toilet. Accommodation old so cant expect modern facilities but corners and windows grimey. Unfortunately room directly above bar so very noisy, no warning about this at check in. Breakfast very nice
