Grand International Hotel

My room was clean and warm, if a little dated. There were no plug sockets near the bed. The hotel foyer is nice and the staff were all friendly and helpful. The buffet style breakfast was mediocre and although there was plenty of food I think it had been sat out a while. It was also very uncomfortably quiet in the breakfast room and could have used some music to break the awkwardness a bit. Overall I would say it was good and I would stay there again.

Positives Cheap Breakfast included (good selection and fair quality, quite impressed) Friendly staff Clean in most places Free parking At the back of the hotel the view is impressive Large mirrors Large bathroom Negatives Water pressure terrible TV ‘worked’ but not well Badly overcharged at restaurant for dinner Divan bed was stained Under bed had not been vacuumed recently - turned round to my baby chewing a cigarette filter! I thought I’d picked up all the muck but evidently not As in all hotels, lack of plug sockets Lift not working

Had an overnight stay here and was perfect for our needs. Set on a main road with free parking and only a 15 minute walk from Derby centre. Currently undergoing a major renovation. Our rooms were adequate and reasonable for the price paid, but decor very tired and uncomfortable bed. Breakfast was nice, if a little random with shop bought items laid out still in their packaging. Cooked breakfast was good.

Do not go to this hotel (even Faulty towers would be an improvement). We booked this place for one nights stay, the photos on the website looked quite good. They must have used a good photographer because they looked nothing like the hotel. Firstly front of the hotel looked run down and in need of a good paint and clean (looking nothing like the photos), the car park looked big and in good order on the photos - however when we visited most of it was closed off and the rest looked a mess with debris and overgrown bushes. The reception area looked dated but the staff was very pleasant and helpful. However it went downhill when we made our way to our room, the stairs and decor were very run down and in need of a good clean and redecoration. On arrival at our room we found the bathroom door had a fist size hole on the outside, the room felt cramped and dirty and in much need of redecoration/updating. The worst part was the very dirty bed base which was very unstable and rocked from side to side and was obviously broken. On asking for another room we were told none were available and maintenance would look at the bed. The chap that arrived was so disinterested he may well not have bothered. Getting a refund was the best option and going to Premier inn was like going to a palace compared to the International hotel.
