East Midlands Guest House

A small budget B&B with shared bathroom facilities, located about a 25 minute walk from the city centre (a little over 10 minutes from the Midlands Train Station) in a quiet, unexciting part of town. Staff were friendly, the bathrooms (all two of them, on the ground floor, with an extra toilet on the first) clean, the shower facilities adequate. My room was clean, too. Free parking in their own designated parking lot is included. Climbing down the stairs in your underwear to get to the showers was a point of concern. The hotel was difficult to find, as it's not clearly indicated as The Elk Inn on any sign except right next to the entrance. Actually, it's *identical* to the East Midlands Guest House - it's the red brick building on the corner of Osmaston Rd and Douglas St. I don't know why they're using two different names for the same place. The room was very basic, indeed. It's only a place to sleep for a few days. There was *no* room service at all on any of the 5 days I spent there.

The hotel is on the corner of 2 very busy roads. It was so cold that I had to sleep wearing my clothes. The towel smelled badly of damp and a replacement towel smelled just as bad. The shared bathroom is veru basic and cramped. I would not stay here again. Not even in an emergency. Terrible place. Yhe worst hotel I have ever stayed in by a country mile.
