Pros:

Lovely pub, really friendly staff, comfortable bed, clean and nicely presented. Great food.

Lovely friendly staff & very clean.
Pros:

The staff were extremely helpful & friendly. Although there was nothing we fancied on their menu, they were happy enough for us to go & get something from one of the local takeaways, just 5-10 minutes walk away, & then provided us with plates & cutlery to eat outside (outside was our choice).
The full English breakfast the next morning was fantastic.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing!

It was nice and acceptable for one night stay. It was next to a nice bar place.
Pros:

It was a nice old style apartment, the breakfast was good. For a small city like Derby and short notice that we had it was a good choice.

Cons:

There was no slippers in the room, I suggest that if they can put 2-3 hotel style slippers in the room it will be much better.
