The Continental Hotel, Derby

Nice and pleasant hotel in the central of the city with easy access to many places.

Good experience overall

Travelled with my partner, for a stay after an event locally, had an amazing time at both the hotel & the event. The Hotel breakfast was lacking as there was no options for the included hot breakfast, but there was cold variations, and some toast. I am lactose intolerant so I was not able to drink a coffee in the morning, or even have cereal or scrambled eggs, or toast. However, the general experience of the hotel, has and always will be wonderful, the beds are comfortable, the tv was an ample size & in an appropriate location, the view was beautiful. I have been here on many occasions over the last 18 months, and it seems the breakfasts over a year ago were better than they are now. I will be returning.

Unfortunately this was the worst hotel stay I have ever had. ‘Refurbished’ in the description only referred to the front/ reception and bar area of the hotel, which did look lovely. But up the stairs and the rooms were the polar opposite. Our room was in serious need of repair, and was also dirty/ some substances splashed up the walls and on the head board. the bed was the most uncomfortable bed with springs pushing into your back even through the duvet (we slept over the duvet). The walls were paper thin and were woken multiple times through out the night to drunken guests running around the corridors, shouting and banging. As well as being able to hear EVERYTHING being done and said in the bedroom behind us. I would highly recommend the place being shut until it is refurbished and cleaned! The breakfast was very basic, no staff greeted us or took our order. I had to go to the reception to ask what was on offer. When we did see the staff they seamed confused. I witnessed a staff member ‘cleaning’ the table once a guest left for breakfast, with just a napkin that was left on the table. We will not be returning and highly advise other hotels to guests thinking of staying there. I have never left a bad review for a hotel before, I am very shocked and disappointed by this.

Decent budget Hotel No issues Rooms are okay - basic Nothing extra ordinary Breakfast limited options Car parking on site is handy Nothing much that more to write , but the stupid review box wants atleast 200 characters before I can submit so I am writing

Staff was very friendly but my room could do with some money spending on it.
