I enjoyed my stay at Tlh Derwent Hotel, particularly the variety of food during meals and the entertainment options, which added to the overall experience. However, my room felt dated, and the bathroom setup was a bit odd. While the staff were friendly, there were areas that definitely need improvement, particularly in terms of the facilities and room comfort. Overall, it was a good trip, but there's room for enhancements.

My room was clean but quite dated. The bathroom's layout took me back to the 60s, and it felt cramped. I also struggled with the noise from the fan, and the neon light made it hard to sleep well.

My stay at Tlh Derwent Hotel had its highs and lows. The staff were absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, while the cleanliness of my room and the communal areas was commendable. However, the hotel itself is showing its age with outdated decor and some maintenance issues that affected my overall experience.
