Room was great, stayed a couple of nights, cooked a couple of meals in the kitchen. Would be better with more hooks and shelves in the bathroom

Love the location, with a quaint breakfast joint (Janet's) and spectacular pizza (Trattoria Lalis) close by. The provision of parking, the easy check-in and out and comfortable fully equipped units made our stay memorable.

The Stay Company staff is welcoming and communicative and staying at the Friar Gate apartment was very comfortable! Loved all the furnishings and fittings and the location is perfect for walking and bussing around the city.
Had a couple of nights stay at the property for a social event in Derby.
Check-in was very easy, as was communication with the host; the property benefits from private secure parking at the rear. Key collection is automated and went without a hitch.
The property itself was well appointed with everything needed for a stay and benefits from a nearby shop plus a few pubs within a 5 minute walk. The walk in to town was approximately 15 minutes.
Check-out was easy and, again, automated which was good. I would definitely stay again for the right price.
The only reason I did not give 5 x stars was due to check out being at 11am (which was fine) but the cleaner entering the property at 10am whilst I was getting changed.

Great stay for family of 3
This was the perfect accomodation for our family. Two rooms with double beds worked perfectly for our family. The living space was an added bonus and the extra added things made the stay even better: milk in the fridge was a huge bonus.

Great spot for Derby.
Fantastic weekend and the property in Friar Gate is ideal. 10 minute walk to Derby city centre. Shops and pubs even closer for essentials. Staff on site to help and responded immediately to all requests. Highly recommend if visiting the city.

Couldn’t ask for better
Upon arrival The apartment was clean and well kept with a great location just a few minutes walk from the town centre, everything we needed was provided even to complementary milk and cereal fresh on arrival. Myself and my 2 friends I stayed with have all agreed we will happily be staying here again during our next visit

I had a great stay at The Stay Company Friar Gate in Derby. The location was excellent—easy to find, with clear instructions for accessing the accommodation. There were plenty of amenities nearby, including local shopping and a good selection of restaurants. The access routes were convenient, making travel simple.
The accommodation itself was ideal for a couple. It was smartly fitted, well-maintained, and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Every aspect was thoughtfully covered.
If I were to suggest improvements, they would be minor and more personal preference: a king-size bed would have made the experience even better, and perhaps a slightly larger sofa for added comfort. However, I understand these are limited by the size of the property.
Overall, a great stay and highly recommended.

Apartment could be noisy at night due to proximity to busy roads and poorly soundproofed windows. Apart from that the apartment was clean, facilities were excellent and a welcome pack was provided which was much appreciated.

Nice main room when you walk in with well equipped kitchen. Bedroom reminded me a bit of an old fashioned B&B, though, with a creaky floor which rattled the coat hangers in the wardrobe when you walked past. Bathroom floor had a few stains on, which I guess were permanent.
A bit odd, overall, in that the whole building seemed to be a mix of rooms for customers, and some sort of office space for their company workers. In the evening, we had the continuous noise of footsteps from above our room, not just occasional moving around, but hour after hour of stomping and marching, almost as though someone was doing a gym work out in their room. I went upstairs to inspect the layout the following morning, and suspect that it was office space above our heads, and that staff there were working late....and.... on the move. Continuously. Rigorously. Very odd.
