"Terrible stay"

Had no sleep at this hotel. Firstly, the fire alarm went off which got us out of bed (understandable this cannot be helped), got back into bed and think time to settle down..wrong! Noiseeeee alllll night. Our bed was literally moving with the banging around from upstairs and next door. Sounds like a party going on. Past midnight so I called reception to ask if we can move rooms to be told the police are at the hotel. Why? They are trying to break up the parties! We spent hours listening to rowdiness, arguing, cheering, general drunk nuisance. This went on until at least 330am. Saw police escorting kids out of the hotel. Next morning the receptionist tells us over 30 people were escorted from the hotel. Appreciate the staff called the police to deal with this but how did that many people get into the hotel when they shouldn't have been and they're not all booked in? Also the receptionist said 'this happens every weekend', well had we known this we wouldn't have bothered!!! Noise aside, the hotel was get what you pay for. Weird how we couldn't lock the bathroom door, it was a sliding door which you can see shadows through and doesnt really shut properly like a regular door. Also bathroom smelt like wee. Also no coat hooks on the wall and no wardrobe. Its not much to just stick a couple coat hooks on the wall. Where are you supposed to put wet coats? On the chair or bed? Bed was not comfy like they usually are. Fair enough they said we could have a refund. This was appreciated as it covered our parking fees. Appears to be a new hotel that is cheaply made, hence being able to hear EVERYTHING.

"Visiting Relatives"

Nightmare trying to find car park, think hotel needs to say a car cannot drop off outside the hotel as no road to it. Only one towel in room and no spare pillows but to be fair when pointed out it was soon remedied! Staff were helpful and breakfast on both days was superb! Good Covid precautions in place.

"Top Marks on Things that Matters"

Excellent location, excellent staff, positive attitude and good service despite the covid challenges. Housekeeping keeps rooms clean and well maintained. It is right in the heart of the city center, next to Derby’s best mall and main bus interchange. The train station is minutes away and the historical cathedral quarter where the restaurants and pubs are is just an easy stroll away. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. You can’t ask for a better hotel or service.

"Brief stopover"

We stayed here during a night out in Derby because it was cheaper than a taxi home. It was clean, cheap and the staff were helpful. Slightly disappointed that the bar wasn’t open to sit in and also that we were staying in a nice location but only had a view of other windows. This is the view from the lift.

"Fantastic "

We stayed the night after dropping our daughter at uni and we were so impressed by the whole experience. Fab rooms, staff who went out of their way to be helpful, amazing views. Very central, parking not a problem in nearby multi-storey car park. Highly recommended.

Hotel description Discover Derby from this brilliant new spot - our Premier Inn Derby City Centre (Riverlights) hotel puts you right in the city centre and moments from Derby River Gardens. It's a five-minute stroll to Derby's theatre and Intu shopping centre, and a tad further to the Cathedral Quarter, Silk Mill and Derby Museum and Art Gallery. If it's thrills you're after, head a couple of miles out of town for some nail biting footy at iPro Stadium or the high ropes at Markeaton Park. We're just half a mile from the station and a 20-minute drive to East Midlands Airport. You'll be impressed by our spacious new-generation bedrooms which each feature a 40" flat screen TV and luxuriously comfy kingsize Hypnos bed. There's great food to tempt you too, with our delicious breakfast served on-site as well as our hearty dinners served at our Thyme restaurant.
