Leonardo Hotel Derby
Overall a really poor experience that I gave the team at the hotel a chance to respond directly but as that was pretty unsatisfactory - Iit should be shared here as potential guests should know. Good stuff: Low price, great staff. Bad stuff: Really dirty room, with someone elses dark black hairs ...

The Orchard Hotel & Restaurant
Hotel was lovely and the beds were comfortable. Really pleasant staff and would recommend the hotel. However wasn’t a fan of 5 WhatsApp messages plus Expedia messages from them think it was a bit too much. Apart from that everything else was great
