The room was lovely, clean and a decent size, the bathroom was much bigger than I'd expected too. But without doubt it was the staff that made my stay so good. The lady from reception came and knocked on my door on the Saturday evening to say my car hazard lights were flashing. I went out to see why and turn them off, but somehow my battery was flat. I cant remember the ladies name from reception but she honestly couldnt have helped me more. She checked the cctv cameras and thankfully didnt spot anything untoward having happened to my car, I asked her if there was anyone who could help me jump-start my car - I had leads with me and had work early the next day, I said not a problem if not, as I would just call the AA, but she said definitely there would be someone in at 7am the next day. I went back out to my car just to try again, when a couple of minutes later, the receptionist came to my car with one of the other members of staff, and he helped to jump start my car right there and then. Honestly, it was such a relief, and they didn't have to help me as clearly jump starting cars is not in their job description but as a young girl on her own, I was so glad they took the time and effort to help me. Even with a big event taking place on the same evening. I felt really safe and looked after, and I will definitely book to stay here again.

This is a historic building that was once the LMS railway training centre. It is of a wonderful art-deco design with a lot of delightful architectural details that reflect its history. And doubly appropriate as I and colleagues were staying in connection with the Greatest Gathering, celebrating 200 years of railways, at the nearby Alstom works in Litchurch Lane - sited in the former LMS carriage works. Full marks, incidentally, on having several very good EV chargers

It was a little utilitarian given its modern function as a conference centre but that is a small concern

Basic, but good value and suited my needs as was attending an all day workshop. Staff very helpful and chatty Food was simple but tasty Had a reasonable night's sleep Electric charge points a bonus

No indication of where bar and restaurant were on arrival, so without signs had to have a bit of an explore. Still it was easy to find. Didn't realise there was no lift or would have asked not to be on top floor as have arthritis, however I managed as stairs not too steep. The radiator in bathroom leaked, but just popped a glass under it. Didn't like the big step into shower but more a personal thing. A dust sheet around the bed base would have made it a little more presentable as looked a bit tatty. Bed fine for one, but a bit small for a double if a couple

Derby Conference Centre is a historic building, art deco, so some aspects are not like a modern building. But I find it charming and quirky. I stayed 2 nights, bedroom was small, but had everything I needed - comfy bed with very nice fresh smelling bedding. Draughty original windows, but heating is strong. Good wifi everywhere in the building is perfect, and no additional charge. Lovely welcoming staff, everyone was kind & attentive, and hard-working. I enjoyed the food & drink, especially cooked breakfast buffet, where you get unlimited everything for £9.95. Also had nice lunches & dinners, with generous portion sizes. Short cab ride (£4 Uber) to Derby main station. I think it's a good venue for small-medium conferences, as everyone can mingle in the central atrium and spacious bar/restaurant.

My bedroom was small, but for single occupancy it was adequate.

I was just staying for a night after a football match and couldn't have asked for much more. The hotel itself is about a 15-minute walk from Pride Park Stadium, and on the way back there were plenty of people about so it was a safe experience despite it being late at night. My room was small but certainly plenty big enough for my needs. A comfortable bed, clean, nice modern decoration, a spacious bathroom, parking on site, a friendly and welcoming reception area with polite and helpful staff, plenty of tea and coffee (plus biscuits!) in my room, and even after I checked out I realised I'd left something in my room so I was able to get the key again just to nip up and get it. There was a bit of background noise about while I was in my room but no more than other hotels I've stayed at, and certainly no more than you'd expect given the proximity to busy-ish roads. I use earplugs anyway and they did the job for me. I will certainly stay here again.

I think the only real criticism I'd give is that the windows in my room weren't double-glazed, and neither did they seem to be particularly modern. This would have helped more with deadening that background noise, and also I could feel a bit of cold air near the frames. This didn't translate into a cold room though, despite it being freezing outside overnight, but as a tip to anyone staying do make sure that your windows are closed as tightly as you can get them.

It had good facilities. There was a TV, WiFi and tea and coffee. Also, an iron and hair dryer but I didn’t use them. The building was interesting - I was expecting a glass and concrete tower. The plaque showing that it started as an army Officers’ Mess was a pleasant surprise.

I stayed for two nights. The room was not cleaned after the first night. I asked Reception when I checked out and the receptionist explained (politely) that I needed to request it as the policy was not to enter rooms without permission - a post covid policy. No lifts. I am not disabled and did not have much luggage but a heavy suitcase would have been a problem.

I had an excellent experience at The Derby Conference Centre and Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming. Check-in was smooth, and I really appreciated the helpful attitude of the reception team. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The bed was especially cozy, and I had a great night’s sleep. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is elegant and peaceful, making it perfect for both business and leisure stays

We are returning guests and appreciate the location and the quirky nature of the property. The rooms are on the small side, which is to be expected due to the history of the building but always comfortable and clean

Bedside "shelves" were not at all useful and we felt a small bedside unit would have been better We only had one set of towels on arrival and we had trouble locating a member of staff (no one at reception or answering calls - we had to call the main hotel number before we got hold of anyone) although extra towels were delivered promptly once we got hold of someone

The location is great, if you are visiting the Download festival. There are buses 1A, 1B, 1C, which go to the Derby train station, from which you can take a shuttle to the festival. There is plenty of parking space. The room and bathroom size are very good. The staff is very polite and friendly.

Not very clean. There were stains on our bed linen. There was not a toilet brush in the bathroom. Toilet paper holder was broken.

Have stayed at the Derby Conference Centre, several times before and it has suited our needs perfectly. The rooms are purposeful and well equipped, with hairdryer, iron and good tea making condiments. The bathroom is well lit and spacious, for the main part of the room. Good restaurant facility, serving a wide choice of meals and breakfast.

The shower unit is a bit on the smaller side, ok for me, but might be a bit of a challenge if you are of a larger stature. The lighting in the main room is only one main ceiling light, with a couple of reading lamps, so a bit dim, but ok generally.
