Room booked as 'Twin Room, 2 Twin Beds'.

Room was very small and basic. Two single beds, not twin beds, one pushed against shower wall with second bed with about 20cm (8\") gap between so very cramped with one small table and one chair.

Description of Twin Beds untrue.

Budget hotel but cramped space not worth the high price charged of £63.65/ person/ night.

Staff pleasant but not helpful.

Good breakfast.

Very good price. Basic rooms but fine for 1 night. Great air con in room, self controlled, godsend in the heatwave.
As lone female felt safe.
Large car park, £5 for 24hrs, so reasonable.
A farmhouse inns pub across the car park, lovely coffee shop next door, or even the garage has good selection of foods.
Hotel also had small bar and served breakfast and food in evening, though I didn't use hotel facilities. Plenty of free tea and coffee downstairs near reception, but a bit of a nuisance carrying boiling hot drinks upstairs to room.
Would use again and recommend.

This is a great value for money budget hotel and was ideal for a one night stopover. The room is small, but has enough room to hang a few clothes, place a small bag and has a small desk and chair to work from. It was modern and clean with a comfy bed and TV. Unfortunately the screen cast feature wasn't working on the TV, but otherwise the USB charging points and several sockets were great.Air con was very effective on a warm night.
The bathroom was snug, but well designed and with a very good shower.
Breakfast was very good as a buffet and although the evening meals looked good, I opted for the pub at the other end of the car park with a large menu selection.
It would have been nice to have drinks making facilities in the room, but space is clearly at a premium. Instead, you can take drinks in the foyer at anytime of the day. There is a £5 charge to park overnight that wasn't made clear at booking. However, there are far more positives in this lovely little hotel and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

It could do with a towel rail, small set of drawers in the bedroom and the sink being further away from the toilet slightly. There is Emergancy cords in the shower and by the toilet. Breakfast was really good and hot. Good selection of food and apple juice or orange juice. Free tea and coffee 24/7. Check out easy and quick. Staff helpful and available 24/7.

The room was very basic. It was disappointing that the bathroom facilities weren’t self-contained, and the shower is essentially right next to the bed.

Another issue was the parking. It costs £5 per night if you book through a third party like Expedia, which you have to pay on arrival, whereas it’s free if you book directly through Ibis. The difference isn’t very clear and feels a bit inconsistent.

The noise from other guests early in the morning also disturbed my sleep, which didn’t help the overall experience.

Overall, it’s quite basic, which you expect from an Ibis Budget, but there’s still room for improvement.

I was woken at 1.30am by loud music playing from another guest. I had to look up the hotel reception number on my phone as not printed on room card wallet or displayed in room. It was dealt with quickly however on hearing the conversation it was as if it was not the first time it had happened. If that was the case why put me in a room next to a potential problem especially as I was on my own with two dogs

Like a Glorified hostel! Very very basic.

I know it’s budget but you can get a lot better budget alternatives for the money I paid. No kettle in the rooms! You have to go down to the reception in the list just to have a coffee in the morning! The room was very basic and cold, the heater provided was rubbish and barely pumped out any heat, I was freezing all night. I couldnt wait to leave to be honest. Also they charge £5 parking charge upon arrival!

I won’t be staying again, definitely would not recommend.

Excellent stay at this hotel

The hotel is what you expect from a budget hotel, except it was excellent.
The room was a little small, you had the sink on the wall of the bedroom next to the toilet, but this is a budget hotel.
The room the bathroom was clean. The bed was comfortable.
It had a bar which is unusual for a budget hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful.
I went for breakfast I their restaurant and it was very good. ( I stayed in a hotel in New York a couple of months ago which cost me a lot more. Their breakfast was nowhere near as good as the Ibis)
The staff were all very friendly and very helpful.
My car broke down and I explained to a member of staff what and she said I could wait in the bar area for help. She asked me if I would like to watch TV and changed it to the channel I would like.
I would recommend this hotel to stay in and I will be using it again when I come Burton.
For the price it can't be beaten.
Thank you for a great stay.

Short weekend stay

A budget hotel in a great location if you have a car. The rooms and hotel looked modern and new. Everything worked and the bed was comfortable and the shower worked perfectly. The room rate was good value for a compact room. More somewhere to lay your head than spend a lot of time in your room. Local amenieties also very handy and immediately outside the hotel. With local towns and Derby city centre only a few minutes away. Only negative would be if a long stay there is little room to lay out clothes, but ideal for a weekend break or business trip.

Pros: very quiet services so decent sleep, restaurant available, reasonably priced rooms, room was spotlessly clean - you could smell the cleaning products as you opened the door, modern stylish rooms, powerful shower, decent tv, little row of shops outside consisting of independent coffee shop, beauty salon, charity shop, subway, pan Thai restaurant (a bit of a random collection 😅) petrol station shop is easy to walk to, nice looking pub a short walk, dog friendly and less of a charge than Travelodge!, plenty of charge points for EV, absolutely didn't look like a budget hotel when we went in - I thought we were in the wrong building - feels much more upmarket and new.

Cons: the main services building is pretty much deserted which is a little creepy, the KFC drive through is now abandoned, there's no hot drink facilities in your room - it's help yourself from reception, which is nice but being mobility impaired I need a bit of oomph to get me going on the morning and it was way too far for me to be able to walk when I've just got up, the bathroom set up in the room is a little strange - toilet and shower in separate cubicles and then the wash basin in the bedroom bit - a bit unusual but got used to it, rooms are a little small but that's the idea!, parking is chargeable (£3) unless you book direct - I think a parking charge is unnecessary considering how quiet the services actually are.

No kettle (or even glasses) in room. Hated the room as soon as I walked in. Soul-less, plastic, cold feeling. Prefab bathroom. Bed was comfy enough. It reminded me of a Metro Inns room...although theirs are a third of the price and at least they bothered to put a carpet in!
I stay in 10-15 different hotels each month all over Britain and this is the first time I've ever actually hated a room as soon as I saw it. Budget is the name and budget is what you get...

They kept throwing hotdogs at us whilst we tried to sleep!! I’m not sure if it’s a cultural thing or not, as I’m from the Isle of Man - but from where I’m from the staff at hotels should not wake you up and throw meats at you.
