Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Derby Hotel is appreciated for its central location, a short walk from the train station, making it easy to get around Barrow-in-Furness. Guests often find the rooms modern and clean, with comfortable beds and a supply of tea and coffee. While most find the experience positive, some guests have noted potential noise from the function room on certain evenings. the hotel is considered a fantastic value, particularly with a Wetherspoons conveniently located across the road for breakfast.

central location, clean room

friendly staffclean roomclean towelsgood tea
the staff was very friendly. the room was very clean and tidy. plenty of clean towels were available. clean cups and good tea were accessible.
i noticed our room had a potent smell of air freshener. i could not find the origin of this strong smell. the windows were frosted so there was no outside view from the room.

the hotel has a bar downstairs. they supplied good beer. the bar is accessible directly from the hotel with a key fob, this prevents passing through the public bar area to reach my room.

I found the staff friendly. They were very helpful throughout my stay. the live music was really good, and i could not hear it from the room. i was able to open the windows to let easy in... a nice feature. the hotel is well-positioned in town, a real advantage.
the bathroom window couldn't be closed completely, and that did let some noise in.
