The staff was very nice. But the rooms were very bad. They had black and red bed sheets seemed clean but I couldn’t dare to sit or sleep in the bed. I checked in, saw the room, checked out right away.
The bad was made.. It looks unmade here because I moved the pillows etc

We stayed at Early of Derby for one night and it was perfect! Either a 30 min walk or 5 min uber into town, the location is great. Check in and check out was easy and seamless. The room was clean and had everything you need! They even left a little bag of mini eggs as we stayed on Easter weekend! We will definitely be staying here again.

Our room was clean and spacious. The lighting in the room was not great. One day, no housekeeping was done. The hotel is very close to the Cambridge train station and there are lots of coffee shops near the hotel. We ate our breakfast there one morning.
