Went to The Engine Room last night for the works Christmas do and the food was so good and absolutely amazing service 🙌 Thanks so much to the staff, and especially the lovely Rosie and another lady bringing us food and drinks, and making sure we had everything we needed all night. I highly recommend this place 👌 It's also right next to Derby bus station so very easy to get to.

Very good place to stay. I have been visiting Derby for work and this has been my go-to place to stay for couple years. They have made complete facelift to hotel by renovating the reception to first floor together with the restaurant. Staff is very helpful and friendly. They have a greener stay option for using room cleaning only when needed. Really enjoyed the restaurant menu. Parking in Derbion is easy and parking discount available from reception. Room details: Double with king bed 7 nights stay for one adult Here is this hotel general checklist (+/-): + Easy check-in + All room lights working + Roomservice + Laundry service + Hotel has a restaurant + Accessibility + Fast wifi (room) + Fridge (room) + Kettle (room) + Toiletries (room) + Bath towels (room) + Shower + Bathtub + High quality mattress + Extra pillows + Electronic locking (room) + Tv (room) + Gym/fitness room Price-to-value ratio: Nice (920£/ 7 nights for 1) 130£/night Floor surface: carpet Noiciness level (0-10): 0 (courtyard side) The view from hotel room window was very poor because 2nd frool courtyard is basically just grey garden tile. Basically courtyard looks like how I imagine prison look like. Not really a big issue, but it would be generally good idea to make courtyard look more attractive.

Good hotel. Nice spacious room. Was very clean and staff were great. Just very noisy from people using the gym as it was right outside my door on the 2nd floor corridor.

Tha absolute cheek, nay the absolute gall they have to even call what they serve here food. The pasta was dessicated and crunchy - imagine the worst hospital canteen pasta you've ever had then make it 10x worse. The monstrosity they somehow tried to pass off as pizza and handed over to us with a straight face was some kind of dry crunchy shortcrust, topped with burnt salsa and melted cheese. I'm genuinely baffled how they managed it. A year 7 on the first day of food technology couldn't produce a pizza this insanely bad.
