Superb Hotel.

Superb from start to finish. A huge grand building with Superb decor throughout. Lovely friendly staff. Clean fresh exceptionally well equipped bedrooms, all freshly and modernly decorated. There are beautifully kept grounds with ample outside seating. The Palace is perfectly located within Buxton, for all amenities, sightseeing, pubs, restaurants and cafés. There is also ample parking at the hotel. An absolute must!

4/10 Fair

No cleaning provided despite asking poor smell from room bathroom flush not working properly. Overheated rooms, no proper accessories to hang clothes in washroom. No lift have to carry luggage to top floors. No staff at reception half the time. Paid parking. Avoid this one for sure

Catia, 2-night trip

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.

martin, 1-night trip

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
Joan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very 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.
