Cathedral Quarter Hotel Derby

Derby Delight. A fabulous build converted in to a great hotel located in the historic Catherdral quarter. We had a junior double at the back for one night. Super quiet comfy bed and fab shower and bath. Definitely recommend. Located near some great old historic pubs,art galleries the amazing Museum of Making and the Cathedral.

Lovely stay , beautiful building . Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice . Would highly recommend

Stayed valentines night. We had been looking forward to a night away. Book a table at the hotel for dinner so all sorted.......so, on arrival booked in. Young girl on the desk trying to do her best. ( we all started somewhere) she gave we a key. Normal key. OK old but ok. We went up to our room for that we had for the night. Initial thoughts opening the door, ok again then we walk in and wow. Floor boards. You could not walk anywhere with floor boards squeaking. ( we could here above walking around too) Old building we thought. But it did wake us up when someone above went to the loo in the middle of the night. Restaurant. OMG. Bareing in mind this is valentines night. Only half the tables where out massive space on one side. One couple in the restaurant we thought this will be heaven or hell. Well the waiter walked off as we walked in. Not a good start. We seated ourselves. He eventually came over with two menus. Al a cart and a valentines set meal. He asked for our drinks order went off again. We chose the al a cart. Waiter then came back without drinks and informed us the the chef has said no al a cart tonight. He continued to say it was the valentines menu or the steak night. My mood lightened. I am a steak lover. What's the stack I enquire. The waiter looks at me. What do you mean sir. He said. I went on to ask is it filet, rump, the waiter than gobsmacked me.....it's beef sir.... Was his response. My wife at this point was quite flabbergasted. We both stood up and left. And of course valentines night everywhere was booked up so we ended up having KFC in our room. Not the best valentines night. I was not happy.

Great overnighter Lovely room nice full breakfast and nice complimentary bits in the toom

We booked afternoon tea with a gift voucher. This was our first visit to the hotel so weren't sure what to expect as some of the reviews had not been very positive. We parked on site and were extremely impressed with the beautiful reception area in this historic building. We were greeted politely by a smiling gentleman and took the lift up to the dining room. This was a very large room with lovely old wood panelled walls, tall windows and spotlessly clean. We were once again greeted with a smile and attended to immediately. Large pots of tea and coffee were served within minutes, followed swiftly by a three tier platter with a choice of sandwiches, scones with the inevitable jam and cream and a nice selection of cakes. All fresh, tasty and quite filling. All the staff we encountered were pleasant, polite and helpful and we would happily visit again.

Booked for afternoon tea as a family gift. The hotel is literally in the centre of Derby, only 100 yards from Derby Cathedral. A beautiful cathedral and well worth a visit. The hotel is a historic building re-purposed and recently re-modeled with a glorious marble interior and oak panelled dining room. There is plenty of parking in the vicinity, although it is almost all pay and display. There is very limited parking belonging to the hotel. At the time of our visit, on a Sunday, they were serving a lunch carvery as well as our afternoon tea in a sparsley occupied restaurant; to be fair though, this was a cold and damp February afternoon. Service was pleasant and attentive. The sandwiches seemed freshly prepared and tasty, along with scones, jam and clotted cream, sponge cakes and a biscuit selection. Accompanied, of course by tea or coffee and although we never asked for any, I suspect any variation of beverage could be available. I could recommend the hotel from my observations and the pricing of the meals we saw and enjoyed seemed very reasonable.
