Overpriced and in need of refurbishment

It is a very old building in need of a complete renovation. We paid £160 a night which is not what you would expect from a property in these conditions. It does not have parking (you need to pay extra for street parking) and they charge additional £20 if you have a pet. Again double what others do. A bit of a rip off.

It’s possibly the most tired property I’ve ever stayed at. The pigeons on my windowsill started coo-ing at 3.30am and didn’t stop. No prospect of sleep. It’s awful.

Really poor stay. Second-level room was more like a basement and had as near to no fresh air possible. Bathroom had stains on the walls, cobwebs in corners, and dust caked on the towel rack. Included breakfast was buffet-style and nothing to write about. Service was overall sub-par, bordering on negligent. Buxton itself is lovely but we’ll steer clear of the Old Hall next time we’re here.

+ Nice full English breakfast buffet + Free/cheap parking + Located in the city center - Wifi was broken, but could connect to their sister hotel's wifi - Downgraded to a single room on the 1st night, as 1 of the rooms wasn't useable due to rain. Was moved back to a double on the 2nd night

Lovely old hotel

Had a lovely stay. Yes, some of the decor looks tired but it is a very old hotel with lots of character. I booked 3 rooms and we had the smallest bed, but it was very comfortable. We had a drink in the "Whine bar" which is small and busy in the evening and also breakfast, which was one of the nicest, self serve, breakfasts I've ever had. All the staff were attentive and friendly but the lady on reception and the lady on at breakfast, were especially lovely. Just one thing to remember, if you use the lift, please shut the metal gate and door when you get out as it cannot be called/used from another floor, if not.

Really Old Hotel

This is a lovely old hotel situated in the heart of Buxton. If you come by bus it is a short walk downhill from the Market Place. My room was satisfactory for my stay - the furnishings were older style but functional. There was a good shower fitted over the bath. A chair would have been useful in the room but there was a nice lounge at the front of the hotel. The buffet breakfast was good with many hot and cold options. The staff l met at breakfast and reception were very helpful, pleasant and efficient. There are several old artefacts associated with the hotel on display. I would stay there again next time I’m in Buxton.

Card in the lobby says it’s the oldest hotel in Britain—Mary, Queen of Scots stayed there in the 16th century— with later Georgian additions. Clean and comfortable, but definitely due for a major refresh. Breakfast was buffet style in a lovely sunlight filled restaurant.

Buffet self service breakfast was good but would be improved by more choice of fruit, continental and pastries. Option for other cooked eggs was not explained nor shown any table menus. Hotel in great location with plenty of available parking and adequate for overnight or limited length stays
