Liked: The staff was very helpful and even we made a mistake on booking to cost us more money, the staff helped clarifying with his Boss and so eased some of our trouble.

Disliked: It was very difficult to find. The directory written on the confirmation email stated 'get off at London Road.....' but then there was a huge difference between the London Road quite near to the East Midlands Airport AND the London Road near city center. If you get off at the early part of this long London Road, you will probably find yourself in the suburb and a small town.

Liked: Very good room, everything was very comfortable and the place was very good and well located.

Disliked: It is a guest house, so the hostel virtues, like meeting people or having events don't apply here. Very good though.

Liked: I stayed in the double room with my boyfriend and I must say I really liked the room a lot. It was a nice size with a handy sink in the room. The room was next door to the shared bathroom and that was very handy. The guesthouse itself was quiet and this was good because I would have hated it to be a loud place. The staff were nice and just did what I expected them to do. The room I was in was on the side of the guesthouse and this meant I didn't experience but traffic noise from the road which was quite busy. I thoroughly enjoyed the stay, especially seeing as it was located within an easy distance to Derby railway station and the town centre.

Disliked: The room wasn't as warm as I had hoped.
