Lovely stay in Derby

We stayed at the Leonardo hotel smack bang in the middle of Derby. Huge hotel with friendly staff. Parking at the hotel is £8 for 24hours. Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby . Derby has a big shopping centre about a 10 minute walk. Breakfast was fantastic so much choice and everything hot and fresh. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Best Birthday Trip.

We had a three day trip to Edinburgh. We stayed at the Palmerston suites we were greeted by the very polite Ramana. After reading reviews of where we were staying honestly we were not looking forward to it. But on arrival at our room we were pleasantly surprised. A nice big window I lovely comfortable bed with white bedding a very useful kitchenette and a bathroom that was much needed. In fact it had everything we needed clean and well presented. If we come back to Edinburgh, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Edinburgh was amazing the architecture the buildings the scenery the garden is absolutely fantastic. We loved it all.
