About Holiday Inn Derby Riverlights
Holiday Inn Derby Riverlights suits business travellers needing meeting space and a reliable base as much as visitors on a city break, thanks to its position by the river close to Derby's centre and bus station. With 105 rooms priced from GBP 75 to 300, it works equally well for a one-night stopover or a longer stay.
Rooms are en-suite with air conditioning and drinks on request, and families are catered for with connecting family rooms and kids' meals. The beds and overall space in the rooms are a strong point, though some guests have noted that noise can carry between rooms, worth bearing in mind if you're a light sleeper. Breakfast includes a good range of hot options, and there's a restaurant, bar and snack bar on-site for other meals, plus room service and laundry for those who'd rather not leave the building. A gym is available for guests wanting to keep up a routine while away, and meeting rooms make this a sensible choice for work trips.
Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful, which counts for a lot on a busy trip. Parking is available nearby but chargeable, and the hotel welcomes pets. With pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby, plus Derby Cathedral within easy reach, it's a practical base for exploring the city on foot.
What guests say
Very clean and well managed hotel. The restaurant attached is also very good and they have a delicious and diverse breakfast. The staff, particularly the restaurant staff, were very polite and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to others, and should I find ourselves back here, maybe for Download Festival, we'll stay here again. Thanks!

Stayed at Holiday Inn Derby Riverlights for 19 days during a business trip and had a great experience. The location is excellent, rooms are clean and comfortable, and the gym is well maintained. The breakfast was good with a standard British selection, and the staff were always friendly and supportive. My only suggestion is regarding the TVs in the rooms. Despite having large Philips Smart TVs, guests can only access local channels, with no option to use streaming apps like YouTube or Netflix or cast content from their devices. Adding these features would greatly improve the guest experience.

Great place to stay, about a minute walk away from the town centre. Staff were lovely and very quick to deal with requests. We had a room directly above the bus station and my kids loved looking out and waving at all the buses.
