So bad we checked out after 15 minutes. The room was filthy, when I went to reception to complain they said it was because we were in a dog friendly room. I’m guessing that the previous occupants dog ate biryani as it was all over the floor! The entrance to the hotel was very dilapidated, as were the corridors and our room. Wallpaper was hanging off the walls and water stains everywhere. The images they show online are nothing like any of the areas we saw and the dust in the room was thick, clearly not having been dusted for months. The bedding was dirty, cracks in the walls and ceiling and the telephone was filthy. The tea/coffee tray was heavily stained with various hairs all over. The bed rest was covered in a thick layer of dust and all the areas of carpet by the skirting boards were thick with dust. The chairs in the room were stained and thick with dust. It looked like the room hadn’t been cleaned properly for many months. The bathroom was clean but very dilapidated. The furniture in the room was very old, heavy and dated. The room we had looked nothing like the photos on the website. We complained to the manager who was helpful and asked housekeeping to go and clean the room. When the housekeeping staff came to reception I heard them say to the manager that the room was ‘a sh*t tip’. We had traveled from Southampton and the last thing we wanted to do was find another hotel, but to be honest we’d rather have slept in the car! We did get a refund thankfully.

Probably the oldest hotel in Buxton
Near to the train station so easy by public transport and walkable to the Buxton shops cafes and main streets. Nice parks just over the road and the Buxton water fountain. Very uneven floors but it is an old hotel. Breakfast was OK. Room was a bit small/ difficult to open and close doors. Clean. Lots of character.

Good things were the comfort and cleanliness and opposite the opera house, and easy walking distance to shops etc. poor things were tatty exterior, £6 per 24 hours parking which wasn’t made clear, lack of charm, but would use again for ‘a night at the opera’.

An old hotel with character. Never know whether the next step is up or down on the amazingly uneven floors. Some people may find that annoying I found it charming.

Never again
Walked in and found it shabby,including carpets. Old building and furniture. Everything else acceptable. Booked for 2 nights in a double room for me and my husband. Had a dreadful nights sleep in a 4ft bed which was very uncomfortable. Woke at 2am, by 5am had made up our mind to leave. This room should have been advertised as a large single. Never stay here again, wouldn’t recommend it.

We love this hotel. Old & quirky. In town & close to everything in Buxton. Very comfortable, & clean. Plently of got water, soft towels & good toiletries. Amazingly dog friendly. You can take breakfast in a separate room so your dog can join you.

We were supposed to be able to check in at 3. We eventually got our room key at 4pm after repeatedly asking the reception staff. We had an early pre theatre dinner reservation booked which meant we didn't have the relaxed getting ready time we were anticipating. The four poster bed in room 1 was very uncomfortable and small so neither of us had a good nights sleep.

Overall the hotel was fine. It’s quirky with its wonky floors and ceilings, it’s very old so expect this. Staff were friendly, room was lovely and spacious with a fantastic view. Had a proper single bed for our teenage son which was excellent rather than most other hotels only offering a sofa bed. Had a bath as well which is wonderful. Breakfast was help yourself which was fine. Parking is limited but we were lucky to get a space right outside. It’s first come first served. £6 for 24 hours pay int the hotel, so not too bad if you manage to get a space. No room service available I did ask at reception, there’s a little bar in the hotel that sells food up to 9pm I think, but not our cup of tea really. Overall it was fine.
