10/10 Exceptional

Great location
It was for anevent in the town. The room was tucked away in the back but quiet. Quite a few stairs and narrow corridors but no top difficult to locate. Checkin was very easy and they allowed us access to the room 2 hours earlier that scheduled check in. The room was a good size with generous bed, tea, coffee facilities and a tv. The bed was comfortable although personally I would have liked a softer pillow.

Great value for an overnight stay!
We had an excellent stay at the Grade 2 listed Britannia Palace! While the room is certainly compact it was clean throughout and suited our needs just fine for an overnight stay. Suzanne on reception was super friendly and helpful and talked me through how to register my car - car parking was free for 24 hours from when we arrived. The swimming pool and steam room were also a welcome addition for what was a very affordable price!

Brittaniia palace hotel Buxton.
Room was very clean. Staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Breakfast was excellent. The bed was comfortable but next time I would ask for extra pillows as the ones provided were so thin they were useless. However I would definitely stay there again.
