Love the location, with a quaint breakfast joint (Janet's) and spectacular pizza (Trattoria Lalis) close by. The provision of parking, the easy check-in and out and comfortable fully equipped units made our stay memorable.

Great stay for family of 3
This was the perfect accomodation for our family. Two rooms with double beds worked perfectly for our family. The living space was an added bonus and the extra added things made the stay even better: milk in the fridge was a huge bonus.

Great spot for Derby.
Fantastic weekend and the property in Friar Gate is ideal. 10 minute walk to Derby city centre. Shops and pubs even closer for essentials. Staff on site to help and responded immediately to all requests. Highly recommend if visiting the city.

Couldn’t ask for better
Upon arrival The apartment was clean and well kept with a great location just a few minutes walk from the town centre, everything we needed was provided even to complementary milk and cereal fresh on arrival. Myself and my 2 friends I stayed with have all agreed we will happily be staying here again during our next visit

Apartment could be noisy at night due to proximity to busy roads and poorly soundproofed windows. Apart from that the apartment was clean, facilities were excellent and a welcome pack was provided which was much appreciated.

Nice main room when you walk in with well equipped kitchen. Bedroom reminded me a bit of an old fashioned B&B, though, with a creaky floor which rattled the coat hangers in the wardrobe when you walked past. Bathroom floor had a few stains on, which I guess were permanent.
A bit odd, overall, in that the whole building seemed to be a mix of rooms for customers, and some sort of office space for their company workers. In the evening, we had the continuous noise of footsteps from above our room, not just occasional moving around, but hour after hour of stomping and marching, almost as though someone was doing a gym work out in their room. I went upstairs to inspect the layout the following morning, and suspect that it was office space above our heads, and that staff there were working late....and.... on the move. Continuously. Rigorously. Very odd.

Long Weekend
Our first impression was the cleaning in the bathroom was rushed. An obvious long black hair in the sink. Also the wet bathmat in the middle of the bathroom floor.
