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

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

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

6/10 Good

Decidedly Average

Hotel looks stunning from afar, but everything is decidedly average at best. Everything is very basic, food is boring with limited choices at both breakfast and in the evening. Rooms are clean with basic amenities. Probably wouldn’t stay again as nicer places in the area including Premier Inn
Tracy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotwl is in a great location. Some parts a bit tired but clean apart from rubbish in done spa lockers. Breakfast was really nice. Main issue was that 'everything is extra'. Cqr parkng, WiFi, use of pool and spa. In the end though that worked well because we had the pool and gym pretty much to ourselves. Lovely deep tissue massage!
Lynne, 2-night trip

Adrian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was my fifth stay at the Palace Hotel, I also go to Buxton Opera House to see a show. We booked dinner and breakfast at the hotel.Check in was great, very pleasant receptionist.Our evening meal last night was lovely, great service from a pleasant waitress and the meal was very tasty! I had a good night's sleep in room 301,it has has a new bathroom suite with a lovely shower, I had no noise disturbances from other guests going into their rooms. Self service breakfast was great! I absolutely love walking down the grand staircase. It's a gorgeous hotel and I love when I get a room with a view of the Buxton hills!
Allen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We went with friends. Had a great time in buxton. The hotel is very grand looking. Love the oldie worldie look. Breakfast was good. If I had one thing to say I would say the bedroom was slightly tired looking. But we was hardly in it, but if we were staying longer I would have liked it a bit better. Pretty basic. But overall we would definitely stay here again. Great location.

The hotel is a little dated, but that adds to the character. Noticed that the tables were barely cleared of drinks glasses in the foyer or seating area

6/10 Good

Living on faded glory, but good value

It’s a lovely building, but the rooms are a bit run down, and service a bit lacking. . Having said that, it is marvellously cheap, and very conveniently located in the centre of Buxton.
