ibis budget Derby

Hotel OK but very unhappy with parking arrangement. Checked in on 29th May and gave my reg number to reception. Before check out on 30th, I had to leave car park to refuel at the nearby petrol station and also to visit Repton briefly. Left at about 9.00am and returned at 9.42am. My wife stayed in our room and when I returned we packed and checked out well before the midday deadline. Left car park at10.58am. The reason I know the time is because I have subsequently received a parking fine for £100, presumably because I Ieft the car park and then returned. I am appealing the fine, but why should I have received a fine before checking out of my room? What happens if you want to drive somewhere to eat out? Very unhappy, and has put me off using Ibis again if that's the way they treat guests.

Me and my friends stayed at this hotel on the Thursday night and Monday night before and after going to the festival. It's only a 20 minute drive and definitely worth staying in. There's a great pub opposite that's serves HUGE portions of food for very reasonable prices. The bed is super comfy and after camping in a field for the weekend it's a really good spot. The showers are really nice and powerful and the rooms are a decent size. Fellow Downloaders. I thoroughly recommend you stay here for the festival.

Good condition and clean (staying in upper floor room at rear) and quiet. Attentive and helpful staff. Location not in central Derby but on by-pass on way to Burton but walkable from nearby country railway station (or canal!)

As per usual the staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was good value for money. The only reason I didnt award it 5/5 is that on what was a very warm evening, we were unable to switch on the fan as it was programmed to a particular temperature. Given that it was around 23 degrees the room was uncomfortably hot and all we could do was to open the window which meant that we heard a considerable amount of road noise. The fan switched on automatically the following morning when we didnt need it as the temperature was somewhat lower.

We stayed at this ibis budget because of its proximity to Alton towers. The hotel is just off a main roundabout with a gastro-pub, and service station. The hotel was very efficiently run with the compact but well layed out room which was very comfortable, self-serve breakfast from 6-10am which was very reasonable and ample for our needs, and lastly the quick check-out feature which allowed us to depart easily and quickly. Wi-fi is available, however does not provide the most reliable connection or speeds (not the biggest issue considering the budget aspect of the hotel). I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent hotel. Clean, very friendly and helpful staff. We stay regularly once a month and have never had cause to complain. Parking is plentiful and easy. WiFi easily accessible. TV in room. Although rooms basic, bed comfy, TV available. My possible only complaint would like tea making facilities in room. However you can always get a cup of tea or coffee in reception for a small fee.

The hotel was very easy to find and convenient for my visit to Donington Park for the British Superbike Races. The service that I received was excellent, the cleanliness of the room and the breakfast was very good value for money, and car parking was free. The staff were very polite and helpful at all times.
