Boab Inn

Room was comfortable and had all the appliances/toiletries I needed. However, hot water didn't work in the morning; not so much of an issue because Derby is HOT and the cold water isn't very cold, but not sure why it didn't work. Also, confusing check-in process; had to go to a different hotel to sign in, and didn't receive any communication about this process - a man in the bottle-shop saw me looking confused and let me know. Having said that, the staff who eventually did help me were wonderful. Overall, relatively enjoyable stay for a budget price.

To start the manager was extremely rude & abrupt to me & our tour guide. The access / path to the accommodation was cracked & uneven leading to an over height uneven step to the room. The bathroom hadn't been restocked , the bed was against one wall , no wardrobe doors & its skirting was missing. The ceilings to both the bedroom & bathroom had approx. 600mm circular stains. Two FIFOs staying in the next room were leaving the next day after two weeks & had had their room cleaned once on the Wednesday before they were to leave with nothing cleaned or changed previously. We ate elsewhere & expressed all 8 of our group's disgust to others . Don't understand how it can still be operating .
