The room was quiet, but there was a faulty air conditioner / heater unit that automatically started up at 7:00am each morning, making sound like heavy raining on a tin roof. This was a bit disturbing and it woke me up. I did report it to reception, so I can only hope that this was rectified ready for the next guest to use that room.
The room was at the end of a corridor, meaning no footfall of other guests passing by so was very quiet in that respect.
Within 10 minutes’ walk of the city center, this beautifully preserved Georgian building offers free parking and the peaceful atmosphere of a country hotel.

We stayed as we hired a room for a party. The room(s) we hired were just wonderful. We had the run of 4 interconnecting rooms all splendidly furnished and decorated with period ornaments and artefacts. The buffet spread was excellent and actually too much. We ordered a buffet for 20 people to cater for approx 30 who turned up and there was plenty left. The catering and bar staff couldn't do enough to help us.

FAQs about hotels in Derby
On average, 3-star hotels in Derby cost $96 per night, and 4-star hotels in Derby are $120 per night. If you're looking for something really special, a 5-star hotel in Derby can be found for $168 per night, on average (based on Booking.com prices).
Bordering the Peak District, pioneering Derby was the site of the first factory during the Industrial Revolution. The city was a silk producer and a former mill forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Derwent Valley Mills, lining the Derwent River between Derby and Matlock.
Also by the river is Darley Park which hosts an annual chamber orchestra concert. The city centre arboretum was England’s first public park, and Markeaton Park in the north-west has a light railway. Nearby is the university campus and 18th-century Kedleston Hall, a Palladian-style mansion involved in filming of ‘The Duchess’.
Another royal connection is Bonnie Prince Charlie who stayed at Exeter House. A replica of his room is in Derby Museum and Art Gallery, and there is a statue of him in Cathedral Square. Opposite is the oldest pub, the Dolphin Inn, but the best nightlife is around Friar Gate.
The nearby Cathedral Quarter is full of eateries and shops, and the Westfield Centre houses big name brands. The Grade II-listed Market Hall offers a range of stalls above underground tunnels which are supposedly haunted by one of Derby’s many ghosts.
Derby County FC play at Pride Park, near the train station and several hotels with parking. Booking.com also offers cheap apartments and guest houses near East Midlands Airport.

At the conference centre, All Staff were caring and considerate of all clients, regardless of needs. The hotel bedroom was deep cleaned between each client. Were willing to go that extra mile.
Will come back soon.
Derby parking restrictions in town centre made it difficult for disabled persons to drive themselves, park safely, and retain independence in areas around combined Court and water areas, etc.
Taxis had to be used from conference centre return, but drivers were a credit to Derby, kind, courteous and helpful.
The suggested car parking not easy to access and nearest was closed.
Signage was confusing to someone not familiar with Derby.
We chose to eat in the conference centre due to road congestion we noticed on way in and after going in and out by taxi. We also utilised shops for snacks while in town.

Countryside is nice, town is a bit of a dive you would only really go to Derby if your planning on going to Alton Towers or maybe walking. Pub in the woods was my destination for a wedding and that was nice

We'd only planned on a visit for the night to get a live band gig in.

The art gallery was interesting, especially the surrealist paintings. I highly recommend the Kedleston Hall! The staffs there were really helpful and informative, and the elegant interior design is especial. The Pickford’s House is interesting too, because there’re many grand upper-class mansions open to tourists but not homey middle-class houses like this. Everyone I met in this town was friendly, like we’d been friends for years.

Derby is a fantastic city for an weekend stay.
Plenty of bars and restaurants. Perfect for shopping too.
Very lively on a Saturday night.
Personally I would recommend more Christmas activities. What was there was nicely done though.

We loved the cathedral and old quarter, we loved the Book Café which we visited three times in three days!
We loved all the little shops and cafes near the Cathedral up Saddlers street? Also noticed live music and beautiful places to go at night but we didn’t go into these this time.
Good location in proximity to restaurants and not too far from the city centre. Friendly and welcoming reception staff and clean rooms with crisp sheets on a very comfortable bed and blackout curtains made for a good night's sleep. Breakfast was included, I requested vegetarian sausages, they were good quality, poached egg not available, but overall better than expected for a budget hotel. Soya milk also available on request. If ever in Derby again, I would stay here.
The hotel is in a good location to the south of Derby. It is close to various styles of restaurants.
The room is basic but very comfortable. The breakfast is delicious.
The hotel’s reception and dining/ bar area has been recently refurbished to a good standard. Complimentary tea and coffee are available from the reception area throughout the day. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel represents excellent value for money! There is also ample car parking.
room was amazing, and extremely clean. Breakfast was so tasty, and the staff were lovely. The hotel is absolutely stunning inside and out, but what made our stay extra special was charlotte who was at the front reception. We explained our situation at the stuart hotel derby the previous hotel ,and had to change hotels pretty quickly, and she made our stay at the breadsall priory extra special : ), so we'd like to thank her.
The hotel reception is the bar. It has a great atmosphere but we were disappointed that the only food they could offer was pizza, however it was very tasty pizza. The staff were nearly all quite new and rather inexperienced but there was a young man behind the bar who could help when they were struggling. Not the cheapest place to stay but we had a great time and it was very convenient for Pride Park stadium
The room was a good size. Good Location on the edge of Derby. About 30 min drive into the Peak District.
Nice layout of hotel.
Did not have breakfast so can not advise. Shower was in bath which was a little dated but overall the room was clean. Reception staff are polite and helpful.
Used the Leisure Facilities, was a good size gym and also used the Spa. Was a bit dirty though ...flip flops needed.
The hotel has an amazing collection of period furnishings in each room and around the building. A pub adjacent to it with again period details and good food. It's a short walk into Derby, free parking and we even had a four poster bed. If you like the antique look then you would love it .
On the edge of the student area, with 4 pubs within a 4min walking distance, 25/30min walk to City centre, with a fully fitted kitchen, excellent decor, so everything you need in the property, it's perfect for a couple in need of some R&R
A charming pub/hotel room , very clean , I’m staying here again soon as I simply had no problems whatsoever.
Its a little gem in Derby , I can tell that the staff really care about the place and it shows in the room and the pub itself .
I have been booking a room at Kings Highway, Derby for several months fortnightly as a base for my son and grandson to spend time together in an excellent environment enjoyed by both. Shall continue into 2023 with next visit in January.
Very easy to get to and as much as the hotel is on a main road once in the property you have access to a very nice large garden and patio area. I was so happy with my stay I will likely be back the next time I stay in derby.
Price - it was cheap. I had a one-off event in Derby that weekend so I was happy to stay in a cheap and cheerful place. The room had a lock on the door for added safety. The nearby Aldi and Fish-and-Chip shop was a bonus.
Breakfast is quality, staff are friendly.
There is NO dinner at the hotel, i was travelling far and tired evening will make my day specially for someone first time at Derby and don't know the area
Very relaxed and comfortable environment. Gate access works very well. Excellent location for trips to Derby (closer) or Nottingham. Room was very clean and had spacious bathroom.
A rather quaint hotel in the old centre of Derby, very close to the cathedral. Staff were pleasant and helpful. There were plenty of good restaurants in the vicinity.
