ibis budget Derby

Staff were friendly and attentive. Room was ok although I found the mattress very hard but that is just personal preference. The tv didn't work very well - kept saying no signal and then when the programme came on, it went off after 5 minutes, so I gave up with the tv in the end. The room was nice and bright and clean and you had everything you wanted for breakfast. For budget accommodation it was fine.

Firstly, the car park was very large so there was no issue parking. Small reception area and bright breakfast area. Fridge and shelves full of provisions. Clean lines and corridors. Rooms are bright but small but with everything you need. The lighting was fantastic so you could relax on the bed with clever dado under-lighting. Small table area with hard chair and small hanging area. Separate toilet with sink outside next to great pod like shower enclosure. Good power to the shower and molded area to put toiletries. Only soap provided. Blackout blind to the window next to a good sized TV with most Freeview Channels. Breakfast was more than expected with cereal, fruits, yogurt and cheeses. Selection of breads to toast and choice of croissants. Good selection of jams and butter/margarine. There was also four hot items - great bacon, sausage, beans and scrambled egg. Apple and orange juice via machine and there was a hot drinks machine offering a good choice. Teas via DIY bag selection too. All in all a fantastic stay and such good value for money. The staff could not do enough to assist. One towel provided but more available if you asked.

Everything was great except when someone on the same side of the corridor left their rooms. They generally had to slam the door to get them to shut. The slam was so violent the wall I was leaning against in bed watching TV threw me forward Then at 6 in morning people trying to quietly slam doors was a little annoying as it took multiple attempts in their efforts to do it less violently. One big slam would have been less sleep interrupting!!

Very comfortable. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Warm room and comfortable bed. Good breakfast. Good shower, but a bigger towel would be much better!
