Friendly staff, room upgraded. Very tough steak fir dinner and apparently the hotel didn’t possess any mustard at all - must be tricky for the chefs!

Cathedral Quarter Hotel - Derby
There was thick dust on the bathroom door, towels and bedding had black dirt marks on and the carpet hadn’t been hoovered and covered in bits. Walls and skirtings really dirty. This is no way a 4 star hotel. On the plus side the staff are friendly
