The Lawns Hotel

Good accommodation for a trip to Donington Park. Nice small hotel with very friendly staff and great service. Only let down was quite limited parking.

The hotel is in South Derby convenient for the A52 and about 3 miles to the city centre. Free Parking is on site and is locked overnight. There is a Lidel and Tesco within 200m of the hotel. Checkin was prompt and we were allocated a room at the back as requested which was quiet. The room was quite tight with little storage space no desk, limited surfaces to put anything ,with a double bed that was comfortable enough. The bathroom was bit more spacious but in need of updating. A good sized continental breakfast in the morning with hot croissants, toast and fresh coffee; cooked breakfast was available but as an extra charge. In our opinion this is good 2 Star hotel.

Room was very small. Just wide enough for the double bed. Not enough room for a real door on the bathroom, just a sliding panel with no handle. Pillow had a plastic liner of some sort, so i awoke at 4am with damp hair and didnt go back to sleep. At 6am wafts if smoke started to come in the room from people smoking outside. Shower good. Breakfast good. Car parking spaces not wide enough for my car.

aphazard parking by others made parking difficult on arrival. Maybe car park lines need to be redone? Interesting that it’s called the Lawns when there wasn’t a lawn? Wasn’t clear where to go to book in, but was ushered inside by helpful person having a drink outside. Was shown quickly to my room by helpful member of staff. Room was clean and tidy and looked recently refurbished. Nice modern shower room. New hard flooring looked nice but needed attention to detail (gaps between planks). Carpet was worn and had threads pulled from it. Bed looked welcoming, but when I sat on it, it was rock hard and the edges of the mattress were higher than the centre. Maybe could benefit from a new mattress? Lots of pillow choice, however, one of the pillow cases I had a tear in it. Door to shower room kept half closing, so I walked into it a few times as I went into the room and turned round to come out again. The shower cubicle was spacious and clean. New wiring in the wardrobe on view. When I returned in the evening (Saturday night, 10.15) music was playing to guests outside the pub, which finished before midnight. My room was on the back of the building, but it could be heard. Continental breakfast was cereal, toast and jam/marmalade/marmite, a croissant and a pain au chocolate, orange or apple juice and a cup of tea or coffee. Breakfast took place in the bar, maybe because of renovations? Staff friendly and welcoming.

Great staff and bar area.

We use the Hotel for BSB (British Super Bike) 15mins if Traffic is kind. Staff are 5* Food and service 5* The Salmon and I had the Bacon 🍔 WOW!! Reasonably priced. Bedroom adequate for our needs. Just a wee nit pick. Room 10. The Shower needed to be held as just needed a wee tighten up. Lovely Continental Breakfast. Keep up the good work. We are back in September. The bar is bouncing Saturday Evening. As noise doesn't bother us. Not a problem.

The hotel has a very loud karaoke on the night we stayed. The room was shaking from the noise vibrations. Water was too hot and the room smelled of the bathroom throughout

I needed a room overnight while attending an event nearby, and this hotel popped up. The hotel consists of rooms above a pub. While not ultra-modern, the place was clean and welcoming. Check in was seamless, and I was walked to my room. The room itself was spacious and clean. The bed was comfy, towels fluffy and the shower was warm. I skipped breakfast, I had somewhere I needed to be, but it looked and smelled good, much better than other hotels I've stayed at lately. I would absolutely recommend staying for a night or two, but not sure how I'd fare over a longer stay.

Nice pub

Very friendly staff. It is a pub so noisy 'till about 23pm. Car park safe and shops close by, 2min walk.

The room is above a pub so initial part of night was quite noisy Also you can hear footsteps in corridor and adjoining room The window in the room was also slightly open despite my best effort Otherwise clean and good place to stay

No air con , couldn’t sit on the toilet because sink was in the way. Not clean , room was boiling

Clean, comfortable, and amazing food.

Staff very friendly & went out of their way to help. Room could do with updating but still clean.

Room was nice and clean staff were all nice and friendly .

Clean room friendly staff. Really good food breakfast and evening meal grt

Without sugar coating it, it was a filthy room, staff were great, food was nice, but the room looked nothing like the pictures online! Mouldy bathroom, and i was above the woman's toilets so i constantly heard the hand dryer going up until midnight.

Although the room was very clean it was a little tired. The staff were very friendly and helpful, couldnt do enough for you. We had an evening meal and also the continental breakfast both of which were excellent. Would definitely stay here again

The room I was allocated was sub standard. The bathroom was an old avocado suite style with rusty plugs and was damp. Lack of plug sockets close to a mirror made it hard to get ready in the morning. Very thin walls - I could hear my neighbours every move. Ridiculously hot as well despite the window being open and fan going. Very disappointing.

Breakfast was very nice and plentiful. Bed was very comfortable

Not a bad hotel, just a very tired room. The room was above the beer garden so if I opened the window smoke came in and pointless loud talking from an old fella.

Room was very small. Just wide enough for the double bed. Not enough room for a real door on the bathroom, just a sliding panel with no handle. Pillow had a plastic liner of some sort, so i awoke at 4am with damp hair and didnt go back to sleep. At 6am wafts if smoke started to come in the room from people smoking outside. Shower good. Breakfast good. Car parking spaces not wide enough for my car.

Rooms look a little tired, quite small and compact, if I wasn't on my own and there were 2 of us it would have been a struggle - space wise

Overall, good value for money. Small but comfortable, recently refurbished room. Staff very pleasant and helpful throughout the stay. Only small negative was the boisterous patrons who were still going strong (and loud) in the early hours, but no big deal.

Stayed here a few times , very convenient when working in the area. Pleasant staff, comfortable and reasonable spacious room. All you need for a work stay.

Good accommodation for a trip to Donington Park. Nice small hotel with very friendly staff and great service. Only let down was quite limited parking.

Lovely Hotel/Bar.. Area.. Clean room for our stop over for The British Superbike at Donington. Daniel was very helpful. The Breakfast Staff. And the Bar Staff again. Nothing was to much trouble. Will be back next season.

Great Stop over for BSB at Donington Park. Lovely staff and pleasant. Food is good and service is good.

We only stayed one night but we were impressed by the friendliness of the staff, the excellent food and the evening entertainment. The bedrooms are looking a little tired but were overall clean and comfortable.

Lovely stay during download festival, very welcoming, great breakfast and comfy bed

All in all a good stay, staff were the best thing. Very friendly and helpful. Food in evening also good. Room was comfortable on whole, but my only criticism would be the bathroom was dated and felt cramped due to old fashioned style bath/shower. In any case, I would stay again if in area on work.

Lovely stay during download festival, very welcoming, great breakfast and comfy bed

Handy for town Used to visit family. Good food

We use the Hotel for BSB (British Super Bike) 15mins if Traffic is kind. Staff are 5* Food and service 5* The Salmon and I had the Bacon 🍔 WOW!! Reasonably priced. Bedroom adequate for our needs. Just a wee nit pick. Room 10. The Shower needed to be held as just needed a wee tighten up. Lovely Continental Breakfast. Keep up the good work. We are back in September. The bar is bouncing Saturday Evening. As noise doesn't bother us. Not a problem.
