Blue Jay, Derby by Marston's Inns

La camera è accogliente e piuttosto spaziosa, il comodo parcheggio è a portata di mano, e le camere sono silenziose. Buona la colazione! Il check-in è da fare all'interno del Pub Blue Jay, mentre le camere sono dall'altra parte della strada.

Il parcheggio è abbastanza trafficato: per chi cerca il massimo silenzio è da considerare. Per il resto, ha un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo!

Breakfast started too late.

Carvery was lovely asked to be moved to a ground floor and lady at reception kindly sorted as quickly as she could

Very clean, comfortable and good location. Friendly staff.

Very comfortable bed Excellent choice of drink in the bar. Good choice of the food, typical "pub" grub plus a carvery

From first check in staff were friendly and Professional Room was very clean and neat and tidy

Bed was a bit firm (personal preference)

Great staff.And lovely clean room.L

Breakfast was not very hot.

Great size family room

No lift to family room on second floor not easy with a 1-2 & 3 year old children

Easy parking, great breakfast, clean Appartment

Nothing

Nice air conditioned room.

Location and ease of access. Great staff Superb breakfast

Room poor by comparison with Premier Inn Plus which are the same price. Zero out of three USB chargers working Bath too high. Bed not great by comparison with Premier Inn.

Property great the adjoining pub is absolutely awful. 8 of us met up from different parts of the country so we stayed and ate there.

The food at the pub is the worse pub food ever. One meal had ants crawling all over it, the steaks were awful, rough and dry ….subsequently non of us wanted our meals. The decor seemed old and dated with worn out seat pads. Management were good about it a refunded our meals. It’s a good job there is a 24hr McDonald’s nearby.

Friendly service

Clean & accommodating - professional

Good value for money with all necessary amenities and no extra fluff: AC, EV charging onsite, clean sheets, quiet rooms, pub nearby.

The location only works if you travel by car and stay for a night on a long journey. It’s kinda in the middle of nowhere, especially on foot.

Reasonable price, good AC, good-sized room, plenty of beds. We booked because the temperature was 38 degrees and I have a newborn baby. I needed the AC.

Not the cleanest - stains on single bed, window and lamp—no toilet paper when we arrived. Reception is in the pub and not manned or easy to get ahold of. Double bed was very hard.

I rested very well the air was very nice.

I wanted to be in floor 1 because I have a family and it’s hard to get up and down.

Breakfast and all food was fab. Room was cleanish apart from a few cobwebs and no soap in the bathroom. Beds were ok

No soap in the bathroom. Maybe a second check on cleanliness.

It was just what we needed to attend a funeral in Chaddeston.

Nothing ig was all fine.

Location, staff and restaurant

Bed was uncomfortable me and no extra pillows provided

did not have breakfast

exceeded my expectations

Clean and tidy

Only one towel in the room so had to go ask for another one. No offers or discounts offered for the adjoining pub. Staff in pub/restaurant weee unhelpful and gave incorrect information. Paid almost £40 for 2 carveries which at 5pm had very little to choose from.

Quiet, clean and very comfortable

Just the outdoor seating areas , they need replacing or refurbishing

It was nice and quiet, the roo waa clean and food was great

The spoiler was the bed, it was really hard and not forgiving for us

Room was clean and staff very polite

No toilet paper holder in bathroom just left with a plastic disc on the wall Breakfast could have been warmer … perhaps needs to be on warmed plates

Clean and good location

N/A

Room had aircon, which considering the heatwave was very welcome indeed. Was set nice and low so entering the room was bliss! Breakfast is pretty decent and they are more than willing to accommodate different requirements. Also ate their in the evening too, normal pub grub, but decent food.

Decent room. Decent food. Decent staff.

Clean and tidy and basic. Not in a bad way as everything you need. Check in at put and then rooms just behind. Parking good and EV charging. Pub was lovely, menu was good and daily offers. Bar staff were lovely. A good stay overall and ticked all the boxes.

No lift and had 3 flights of stairs to climb. Like most places they never leave enough milk, sugar and t bags in the hotel room. Details of the menu and food offers for the pub are advertised in the room. Offer stating 20% off all main meals cannot be used if you book via booking.com, asked the manager to honour the offer but he refused. He also lacked good customer service skills but other staff were lovely.

sort the drains out there is an awful smell outside

Comfortable bed Great food and friendly staff

The location, pub next door which had lovely food and friendly staff

The bed was too hard for me but I understand not everyone has the same comfort. My husband didn’t have any complaints.

Comfortable and clean

Nothing

Location was perfect for travelling to alton towers, the room was clean and perfect for our stay

The staff felt a bit off, food wasn't the best but was edible

Nothing !

Everything !

Having to wait 15 minutes to check in

We were in Blue Jay for one night. Location is very good. Room was comfortable and clean. Food was delicious and very good choice of breakfast.

When we arrived in room was switched on condition and for us was little to cold.

Clean

Close to where I was visiting

We had a family room and there was plenty of space between the three beds, the room didn't feel cramped at all as family rooms sometimes do. The aircon was extremely welcome too. All the staff were incredibly helpful and the breakfast was delicious, plenty of choice.

Very good

Tidy and spot on well done

The air conditioning was a real bonus. The room was comfortable and clean.

Breakfast area, bar area and facilities have all seen better days, but I guess that there had been a long late session due to the men's football world cup.

We liked the clean room and Free parking next to hotel. The playarea for kids next to restaurant and McDonald's nearby were also convenient.

We didn't like that our room was never cleaned in 3 nights and no change of towels. The food at the restaurant was not fresh at all! We took the carvey and the meat was over heated and the vegetables tasted rotten! We also were charged for the breakfast - it was not included in the package apparently!

Great location and air conditioning

NA

Pleasant staff , food good and our room was lovely and cool with air con left on for us

There were plenty of tea & coffee sachets, we were so glad of them. The Receptionist was great, she printed out directions to the place we were going to visit our friends.

We could have done with extra pillows, i did message to say but I don't think they got the message.

Nice rooms , clean, comfortable bed. On site pub. Very handy for stop over before going to East Midlands Airport.

Staff very polite and helpful.

Bed was comfortable and air conditioning was very nice!

Terrible customer service at the bar and drinks very overpriced. A bar staff removed a fly out of my drink with a napkin, then carried on pouring the drink. I had to ask for fresh glass. Very miserable man that served with no interest whatsoever. Awful body language.

Air con and cleanliness of room. Good shower. Comfy beds.

The breakfast wasn't great.

Ideally placed for where we needed to go. Good pricing.

Clean abs tidy with a pub on site for a good breakfast. Excellent location for us when visiting family

Great food staff are brilliant as usual and comfortable rooms

Just getting bit more pricey last few months,only problem when great place stay

Clean, air on was great and decent price for a Friday night

Beds weren’t very comfortable and tv didn’t have signal, had to unplug the Ariel to get it to work

Property was clean and tidy staff were friendly

Comfort of room

Could have been better on cleanliness. Observed black mold in bathroom.

Location

Food made us sick pub needs deep clean and some new furniture

Location

Some Staff appeared to be ill or using drugs and it was dirty

Didn't have breakfast as we were busy visiting family and friends Air conditioning as was very hot ,came in useful

Bed very firm ,for side sleepers Couldnt get onto to internet ,until found a manager next day People staying above on first night was clomping around for about an hour ! Second night awoke by a staff member at 11:30 pm ,she had got wrong room

Aircon already on in the room when I arrived. Meant I got a great night sleep. 5 stars!

Notjing

Location was fine ideal for visiting family

Food was atrocious just warmed up microwave meals we asked for a table reservation before we arrived all the staff said was just go and sit at a table this is not we reserved. Attitude of staff was condescending only one male bartender helped us he felt guilty for not giving us a good service. Meals were cold, tables sticky disgusting really. Rooms were like ice boxes! Staff definitely need some sort of customer training

Close to download festival

Rooms are very similar to Premier Inns and of a same standard. Decent food in the pub restaurant.

Check-in experience could have been more enthusing

Staff brilliant

Could be more competitive for money

Fair sized rooms, normal facilities , nothing different to most hotels. Decent enough breakfast ,

Quite rude staff, maybe because they are part of the bar /restaurant they have a lot of rude people so they then become rude. I was greeted with a what name , no hello, how are you. Nada. Food was dry, overcooked, expensive and not very tasty. Uncomfortable beds, sofa bed had so many springs in it, probably better to sleep on the floor. Hotel is across the road from the reception so no one to ask anything from unless you go into the bar

The location was good, and the room was clean and spacious enough for us a family of 4.

The quality of our breakfast wasn't great, and the continental breakfast options were very limited due to stick availability despite arriving 20-30 before breakfast finished. The coffee machine was broken as well. Separately, I requested 2 additional pillows on arrival, which we never received.

Perfect for festivals retreat. Quiet, spacious and organised.

Location of hotel.

Uncomfortable bed Set up of bathroom, sink and toilet too close. Difficulty reaching soap dispenser

Good size clean room. Really good for business stop over

Great stay, really friendly staff, good food, room was spotless. Highly recommend.

Good room size

Breakfast starting at 8am on weekends. I needed to be away early.

Convenient location. Good food

Good value and location
