We stayed at Early of Derby for one night and it was perfect! Either a 30 min walk or 5 min uber into town, the location is great. Check in and check out was easy and seamless. The room was clean and had everything you need! They even left a little bag of mini eggs as we stayed on Easter weekend! We will definitely be staying here again.

We had a great stay here at the weekend. We were only there one night as we had a wedding to attend nearby. The staff are brilliant, so helpful and friendly even let us check-in early. Room was perfect. Car parking so easy. Shame we couldn’t have spent longer there. Would definitely use again if in Cambridge.

No dining on the day of arrival. The following day the breakfast was very poor, no remote for the TV. The double bed was two bases put together with a double mattress on top, if you ended up in the middle you would fall towards the floor, the service wasn't very good, the pictures that are being displayed for the hotel are out 10 Years old. I would advise Expedia to check this out.

Staffs are pretty friendly, the parking lot is isolated and safe. Night food for downstairs bar. the only issue is the room is a little small.
