ibis budget Derby

I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of noise outside my hotel room - it is the first time I have stayed in a hotel at the services so I thought I would hear traffic noise, but I didn`t. The room is compact. The window blind did not block all light, but it was much better than short curtains. The shower was powerful - the towels were good quality. The bed and bedding were good, and clean. The air con was superb (we stayed during the heatwave - it was a great relief to come away from the festival and into a cool room). There are food outlets at the services - I did not use them as I drove out to a supermarket.

We are booked in for the week and have now spent our first evening. If you are driving... REMEMBER to book your car in at reception. If you forget, it's £100 charge. Reception will also remind you and it's an easy process. We were greeted by Vera, a lovely woman with a really welcoming smile. Made sure we were happy with the rooms and explained breakfast times and all facilities that they offer. Tea and coffee are available 24hr on a help yourself system. On our arrival Tea was off but being fixed in front of us. We were told by Vera and the gent fixing it, making us feel really valued, regardless whether we wanted a drink or not. The staff really make this hotel, Vera, Sebastian, Luqmann, Paulina are to name only a few. ALL have been outstanding (including those names I've forgotten.) Nothing is too much for them, keeping their composure, even when tested. Breakfast has a wide variety and it's hot and tasty. Rooms are fairly small, but exceptionally clean, light and airy. The shower is powerful and beds are roomy and comfy. IBIS is described as BUDGET but it has far outshone many of the more 'upmarket' hotels that I have stayed in and would choose this place over several in the area. A game table of air hockey is available 12pm until 9.30pm (just ask at reception). A chill out area with TV and sofas is located on the 1st floor. Surrounding area includes a carvery with a wide selection of well priced food, Subway, KFC, a Shell Garage with Waitrose and a Bagel Cafe. Tesco is an 8 minute drive. Pleasant group of respectful guests too. It's a truck stop however, the noise is minimal. Extremely pleased.

Gut gelegen. Mein Sohn war im Fußball-Camp in Repton-College. Freundliches Personal. Frisch gezapftes Bier.

'Unsere Erwartungen wurden wesentlich übertroffen die Sauberkeit der Zimmer Betten sehr komfortabel, Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend komplettes englishes Frühstück alles in allem Preis und Leistung einfach gesagt hervorragend

Freundliches Personal, kostenlose Parkplätze, leise trotz Nähe zur Autobahn. Typische Ibis-Einrichtung (Dusche mit Glastür Richtung Zimmer); störte mich jedoch nicht, da ich alleine unterwegs war. Leider war der Boden der (separaten) Toilette nicht sauber (Schmutz in den Ecken). WLAN wurde ständig unterbrochen ( = keine stabile / dauerhafte Internetverbindung möglich). Fenster ließen sich nicht öffnen, nur leicht kippen.
