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!

Compact but comfortable

I booked a compact room usually these are very small but comfy. This was downstairs with only 1 other room close by. Spacious quiet and comfortable. Also cool which was nice as its unusually warm in Buxton. The piano playing in the lobby is a lovely touch
Julia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lobby staff were excellent. Breakfast average. Poor coffee. Old fashioned bread choices and only jam as spread choice. Disappointing to see Harrogate spring water in a Buxton hotel. Would be good to see really good quality, local food and exciting breakfast choices.

Tony, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay

We found the bed and pillows really uncomfortable, they were so hard that it gave us bad backs. The breakfast was fine but there wasn’t much choice for the evening meals. It was a lot better when they used to do buffet meals.

Patrick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean and good location but horrendous bed

Didnt have any food, the room was very clean and spacious though the bed was the worst I we have ever slept in, two singles pushed together, very hard and lumpy the floor might have been more comfortable there was also a constant drone ( air conditioning?)
lynne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was working in Bakewell this morning, approximately 12 miles from Buxton. I know Buxton very well, but have never previously stayed at The Palace. Absolutely fabulous authentic Victorian Hotel, beautifully restored, very comfortable room and great value. I will definitely stay again.
Damian, 1-night trip

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

8/10 Very good

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.
Terence, 1-night trip

Buxton is wonderful. Really good , but different bars and venues. Worth a visit anytime.
DAVID, 1-night trip

Generally the property is 'tired'. Very clean and staff very friendly and helpful.
Elaine, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely view, but poor breakfast.

Large room with excellent views over Buxton. Car parking great value at £5 for 24 hours. The room needed updating and refreshing. Difficult to fill the kettle, due to the tap position. The kettle had water in, from the previous guests. We paid extra for breakfast, which wasn't worth it. No fresh fruit only tinned in sugary syrup. No vegetarian choices, ended up with beans on toast, which was luke warm. Would stay again, as we have family in Buxton, but wouldn't pay extra for breakfast, not worth it.
