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?)

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.

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.

Really pelase with this hotel and got it for a good price at the time. would stay again.

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

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.

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

Located very good spot in Buxton town.
Mr Martin, 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!

Steven, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was my fifth stay at the Palace Hotel, I also go to Buxton Opera House to see a show. We booked dinner and breakfast at the hotel.Check in was great, very pleasant receptionist.Our evening meal last night was lovely, great service from a pleasant waitress and the meal was very tasty! I had a good night's sleep in room 301,it has has a new bathroom suite with a lovely shower, I had no noise disturbances from other guests going into their rooms. Self service breakfast was great! I absolutely love walking down the grand staircase. It's a gorgeous hotel and I love when I get a room with a view of the Buxton hills!
Allen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Have used this hotel several times over 25 years. Yes the rooms are a little tired but overall still good value for money.
Colin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We went with friends. Had a great time in buxton. The hotel is very grand looking. Love the oldie worldie look. Breakfast was good. If I had one thing to say I would say the bedroom was slightly tired looking. But we was hardly in it, but if we were staying longer I would have liked it a bit better. Pretty basic. But overall we would definitely stay here again. Great location.
Ann, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Grand, clean but potentially very creep

Pleasant staff. The hotel has a grandeur about it, but those days of grandeur are long gone. The hotel staff must do a great job, not the expense it must incur to maintain such a grand place. Our room was clean. The lobby was impressive and comfortable. There was no rush to leave the hotel after we checked out, which help our circumstances as our flight was a late flight. We had a room facing the rear, which had a disappointing view. Also our window was a wee bit grimey and probably not had a clean in a long time. Perfect location to explore the Buxton, near the Crescent and Opera house, restaurants and cafes. Aldo, bang next door to the train station on the Manchester line. Altogether, we had a great stay. However, I wouldn’t like to stay during winter or when it’s quiet. With all those long corridors, it would have a bit of the Shinning feel about it, with thoughts of Jack Nicholson wandering the corridors.
