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

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

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.

10/10 Excellent

The charm of the hotels of this brand is history. Mostly youth do not understand these establishments, so visitors are mostly older people.
Roman, 1-night trip

Located very good spot in Buxton town.
Mr Martin, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The Palace Hotel is an imposing and very grand institution, doing its best to keep afloat in the c21. It feels like it has cut its costs - particularly staffing - to the bone. But it still gives a feeling of granduer. The food is good. Pity the coffee etc machines don't work too well!
Charles, 3-night trip

Property a little tired and dated. Staff friendly. Breakfast good. Good location for all of Buxton
