The 30 Best Motel in Derby

“With a P Inn you always know what you get. We were a little disappointed that they didn't have any P Plus rooms. But in the nes it was fine. Room smelt a bit damp when we arrived. But cleared after an hour. The breakfast team were one of the best I habe seen at a P Inn. Super friendly, helpful and efficient. We didn't have a car so cant comment on parking. Location was very central. Easy access to everything. Easy to get Uber taxis.”

“From day one this hotel was just perfect! The location is spot on – right next to the Derbion with fantastic transport links, making it really convenient. The cleanliness throughout the hotel is impeccable, everything feels fresh and well looked after. The staff here are absolutely brilliant – friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The restaurant is top notch nosh, with great food and service to match. A special shout out has to go to both Pat and George for their incredible customer service. They were lovely, chatty, friendly, and nothing was ever too much to ask. They’re a true credit to the team and made my stay extra enjoyable. Can’t recommend this Premier Inn highly enough – I’ll definitely be back!”

“Stayed here for my time in Etwall and you couldn’t pick a better spot. The location is fantastic and the room itself was nicely decorated and well maintained. This is all second to the first rate service and the friendliest of staff, who were extremely helpful during my visit. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in lovely Etwall.”

“Stayed here for going to a gig in town, clean and comfortable, a short walk or taxi ride to the centre of Derby... staff are lovely, plenty of free parking and a buffet breakfast for £10.75... the scrambled eggs were really good, a good choice of hot and cold food plus there's a bar and the restaurant serves other dishes all day.”

“Location of hotel is brilliant easy access where ever you need to go. Rooms and very clean and homely also the service is brilliant honestly it is next to nothing the staff can’t do enough for you also if you come across a snag they will help you. I’ve also seen the staff run off there feet but still manage to run the hotel when short in numbers all I can say is bravo all well done thank you”

“We stayed here on 29th August 2025. First time we have stayed with this chain, Very pleased with our stay. The lovely gentleman who checked us in couldn't have been any more helpful, highly recommend. The room was clean and suited our needs. The breakfast was lovely too.”

“We had an wonderful stay. The rooms were nice and clean and made up in time for our early check in. Emma was very attentive and very friendly made us feel very welcomed and really appreciate all the help she provided. There was a lot of us and she went out her way to make our stay wonderful! I think the lady who cleaned our rooms was Nina and she was so friendly too the rooms were clean couldn't fault anything. Thank you to you both. Look forward staying again in the future”

“Absolutely amazing service , we needed a hotel for the night last minute due to a awful expereince at our accomodation in Nottingham. We turned up late to reception and the guy went out of his way to get us a room suitable for 3 adults. Nothing was too much trouble and we got a fairly good night's sleep. Staff were amazing , so thank you for coming to our rescue after a awful experience elsewhere”

“A nice hotel in the centre of Derby. Rooms were comfortable, especially the executive ones. The buffet breakfast was tasty and the choice was good. The best thing about this hotel was the staff. Every one of them were helpful, supportive and went about their jobs with a smile. On check in we had an issue with the allocated room and they swapped it with no fuss or bother. Fantastic service from start to finish. Thank you for a great stay.”

“We had such a wonderful stay! Merrick was absolutely incredible. She arranged a late check-out (a true lifesaver after a wedding celebration!), gave us great advice on parking and taxis, and even shared tips about Derby so we could make the most of our time. She really went above and beyond to make sure us two fellow Scots felt at home. The rest of the team were also fantastic. So friendly, approachable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The hotel itself is in a brilliant location, within walking distance of lots of pubs, shops, and the city centre. The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy and the shower pressure was perfect! I would not hesitate to stay here again and would absolutely recommend it to friends. Merrick is a true gem and an excellent credit to the Leonardo team.”

“I visited here whilst on a business trip and enjoyed my stay, would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Claire made my stay very welcoming, thank you very much Claire keep up the good work!”

“We went for Sunday lunch. The staff were very attentive and very professional. The food was lovely and hot .The Mundy Arms is so clean well worth a visit. Will be going again soon .Thanks for a lovely time”

“Room was lovely, bathroom was great, view wasn't brilliant but not an issue. The bar was handy and breakfast in the morning was delicious and very welcome. We'll return the next time we're in Derby”

“Refurbished since I last came, the hotel is nicer than before and a bargain compared to similar hotels nearby. The staff are very friendly, and the breakfast is excellent value for money. Would definitely book again”

“Great location, had a problem with our kettle, but the very helpful reception guy came and sorted it really quickly. Room clean and comfortable, beds always comfy.”

“We were very surprised to see the hotel after seeing a 7.5 star rating! It's absolutely gorgeous, proper high end, but the prices don't reflect that. At £75 for a room with two breakfasts was ridiculously cheap for what we got. The hotel was magnificent, the room large, comfortable, well equipped and clean. Breakfast was tasty, hot and well cooked. We paid an awful lot more for much less. We'll be staying again”

“We felt really looked after our entire stay, Lauren and marija are a real credit to the team making our stay so pleasant. The beds were really comfy and the room was clean and warm. The breakfast was very nice and even with free coffee in the mornings, paired with exceptional service from Michael and Saskia each morning. The city is within walking distance which is really handy for people who may want to do shopping .Shall definitely be returning .”

“Great hospitality and warm welcome. Nothing was too much trouble, comfortable warm room, and the bed was brilliantly comfortable. Highly recommend, definitely will be staying again. Thank you Roger, Claire, and Naomi.”

“My daughter held her wedding here. Could not praise this place enough. The help we received in arranging the wedding. The actual Wedding Day and breakfast the following morning was brilliant, made even better by meeting group members from East 17 who had been staying overnight at the hotel.”

“I highly recommend the Tyger Inn to anyone visiting Derby. It's a wonderful hotel that offers excellent value for money. I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip!”

“Very nice hotel, very good service one year lived this hotel thanks for everything”

“Absolutely brilliant stay i had with my girlfriend. Room was awesome, hottub is great, location was nice and quiet with no distractions. Room service was really fast and efficient with great food. Honestly so glad we chose here to stay for a weekend away. I attached picures of our room Junior suite with emperor bed in room 1 on the ground floor”

“Attended for a Wedding. Super layout. Staff so friendly. Meal was excellent.”

“Brilliant real ale pub. 7 available. Drank Castlerock preservation ale mixed with North Riding barley wine. Absolutely fantastic. Happy Days.”

“Amazing 3 course Sunday lunch today. The roast beef was cooked to perfection. Staff were lovely and very accomodating (I am gluten free). Views of the beautiful gardens were great. Have been here many times for Sunday lunch and it is always perfect.”

“Very nice apartment and very friendly staff (Martina).”

“Stayed here for one night in late November in one of their cosy Wildhives, it is a lovely escape. The room was beautifully rustic and comfortable, a touch chilly on a crisp Derbyshire evening, but the blankets were plush and it added to that authentic outdoor vibe. Location is a total winner: 5 minutes’ walk to the Ashbourne end of the Tissington Trail. We strolled up to Tissington village. Next time we’ll definitely hire one of their bikes or e-bikes (they have plenty available on site) and ride the full 13-mile trail. The food… I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s some of the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Dinner was outstanding: perfectly seared scallops to start, followed by calf’s liver cooked pink and silky with incredible depth of flavour, finished with a cracking local cheeseboard and a glass of port by the fire. Breakfast the next morning was just as good – proper quality ingredients, everything cooked spot-on. And the cherry on top: we booked a 60-minute massage in the little spa on Sunday morning before checkout. Absolute bliss. My therapist was brilliant, worked out every knot after knot, and we both floated out completely relaxed. The perfect full-stop to the stay. Peaceful, beautiful, friendly staff, incredible food and that spa treatment sent us home properly recharged. If you’re anywhere near the Peak District, do yourself a favour and book Wildhive. You won’t regret it.”

“Third visit here for food. Each meal excellent, steak is beautiful, and cooked to perfection. We also had curry and chilli on a Thursday autumn special offer both of which were gorgeous, curry and chilli just right. Staff are lovely and very attentive and friendly. Will be back”

“My stay was absolutely lovely from start to finish. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was truly excellent throughout my visit. ​The room itself was spacious and comfortable, and more than enough for 2 adults and 2 children to share. However, the real highlight of my trip was the spa. It was a truly amazing experience. I had initially booked a massage but was delighted to take advantage of a 40% off offer to add a facial. The spa staff were very accommodating with this last-minute change. ​My therapist, Hannah, was fantastic. From the back massage to the facial, she was an absolute professional. I felt completely relaxed and rejuvenated by the end of my treatments. I would highly recommend the spa and Hannah in particular!”
