10/10 Exceptional

Superb Hotel.

Superb from start to finish. A huge grand building with Superb decor throughout. Lovely friendly staff. Clean fresh exceptionally well equipped bedrooms, all freshly and modernly decorated. There are beautifully kept grounds with ample outside seating. The Palace is perfectly located within Buxton, for all amenities, sightseeing, pubs, restaurants and cafés. There is also ample parking at the hotel. An absolute must!

10/10 Exceptional

Compact but comfortable

I booked a compact room usually these are very small but comfy. This was downstairs with only 1 other room close by. Spacious quiet and comfortable. Also cool which was nice as its unusually warm in Buxton. The piano playing in the lobby is a lovely touch

Handy location, clean and comfortable hotel, staff friendly and helpful, thank you!
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lobby staff were excellent. Breakfast average. Poor coffee. Old fashioned bread choices and only jam as spread choice. Disappointing to see Harrogate spring water in a Buxton hotel. Would be good to see really good quality, local food and exciting breakfast choices.
Christine, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay

We found the bed and pillows really uncomfortable, they were so hard that it gave us bad backs. The breakfast was fine but there wasn’t much choice for the evening meals. It was a lot better when they used to do buffet meals.
Peter, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean and good location but horrendous bed

Didnt have any food, the room was very clean and spacious though the bed was the worst I we have ever slept in, two singles pushed together, very hard and lumpy the floor might have been more comfortable there was also a constant drone ( air conditioning?)

Staff very good
Andrew, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely view, but poor breakfast.

Large room with excellent views over Buxton. Car parking great value at £5 for 24 hours. The room needed updating and refreshing. Difficult to fill the kettle, due to the tap position. The kettle had water in, from the previous guests. We paid extra for breakfast, which wasn't worth it. No fresh fruit only tinned in sugary syrup. No vegetarian choices, ended up with beans on toast, which was luke warm. Would stay again, as we have family in Buxton, but wouldn't pay extra for breakfast, not worth it.

Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was working in Bakewell this morning, approximately 12 miles from Buxton. I know Buxton very well, but have never previously stayed at The Palace. Absolutely fabulous authentic Victorian Hotel, beautifully restored, very comfortable room and great value. I will definitely stay again.
Damian, 1-night trip

Great location. Very reasonably priced.
Gareth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant hotel

A comfortable stay in a very nice hotel. If you have problems walking, ensure you get a room close to the lifts, as we had a considerable walk including stairs to our room. I would prefer parking to be included in the cost of the stay.
Terence, 1-night trip

Great location as not far from the main shops etc and nice clean and tidy rooms and friendly staff.
Ian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a lovely old lady from the start of travel by train in the Victorian period. The main state rooms are remarkable and the situation of the hotel looking out over Buxton is wonderful. I stayed in one of the cheaper rooms, it was well appointed and everything was clean and comfortable. At the price it was very satisfactory, I can recommend it
Joan, 1-night trip

Generally the property is 'tired'. Very clean and staff very friendly and helpful.

Patrick, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Decidedly Average

Hotel looks stunning from afar, but everything is decidedly average at best. Everything is very basic, food is boring with limited choices at both breakfast and in the evening. Rooms are clean with basic amenities. Probably wouldn’t stay again as nicer places in the area including Premier Inn
Tracy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property a little tired and dated. Staff friendly. Breakfast good. Good location for all of Buxton
Peter, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Pool/ sauna costs extra to use.

Facilities such as pool/ sauna/ steam room were not included in my room rate. This was not clear at point of booking. The facilities swayed me to choose this hotel, so was very disappointed not to be able to use them.
india, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotwl is in a great location. Some parts a bit tired but clean apart from rubbish in done spa lockers. Breakfast was really nice. Main issue was that 'everything is extra'. Cqr parkng, WiFi, use of pool and spa. In the end though that worked well because we had the pool and gym pretty much to ourselves. Lovely deep tissue massage!
Lynne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Old style hospitality in a grand setting with good service.
