The building itself was impressive
Christopher, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Ideally located just next to the train station and the city centre. I have stayed here twice already and would pick this hotel again. The bedroom was clean and comfortable, although I’d have liked more than just the one towel and for it to have been changed.

Anna-Liisa, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Parking was impossible despite booking 3 months ago at a premium price. Will not be staying again.
Graham, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Property is in a fantastic position easily walkable into town, the room was clean the bathroom was basic but functional, the night time bar staff could work on his inter personal, and service skills being quite blunt and almost confrontational
Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Beautiful old hotel full of original features and character. Clean, comfortable room and got a bargain stay! Beautiful gardens and so close to shops, restaurants and pubs and beautiful park. Loved it! Will stay again & recommend to others
Anne, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Liked. Firm mattresses. Grandeur of the hotel. Disliked. Pillows rather hard. Breakfast very busy. Some foods were not refilled. Conservatory had lots of space but was very cold so we cleared our own table in the dining room. would have benefited from a little more staff focus.
Gillian, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Extremely poor experience, I offered feedback to hotel who showed no interest in our terrible experience
Steve, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perhaps more staff in dining area.
DK, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We enjoyed our stay here for the third time. The room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was very good, lots of choice. The entrance lobby is striking with a beautiful staircase. There has obviously been an effort to restore the hotel from faded glory into somewhere you would want to stay. The pianist in the lobby on the Saturday evening was a nice touch. There is a £5 charge for 24 hours of parking which is very reasonable as finding a space in Buxton when its busy can be difficult. We will be returning soon.
Ann, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very handy for the venue, food in the restaurant at breakfast and dinner was excellent
Peter, 1-night trip
