The location of Old Hall is excellent and this needs to be factored into the price you pay compared to other nearby hotels and the quality of them. Breakfast is fresh and tasty with enough variety and this is included in the price, which many aren't. This hotel offers comfort, my bed was fine, room was spacious. Floor are unlevel, of course they are, it is an old hotel, it has character reminiscent of days past, yes it's worn and needs renovation but to upgrade to meet everybody's needs would surely involve significant cost which would then place it at similar pricing to Ensana, making it then inaccessible to many, including me -if you want modern, high tech and clinical don't book this, but comfort, convenience and character for me means a lot. Short staffing may have been an issue when I stayed but unfortunately everywhere you go it's the same or this reflects in price I'm finding, and it's a sign of the times sadly, times are tough and we all need to be a little kinder and tolerant where it allows us to be, obviously I'm not suggesting complaints shouldn't be raised and addressed where relevant. I found the staff who I encountered warm and welcoming and therefore I am booking again for the new year as you cannot get a better location for the Opera House.

Mattress was very old & in a poor condition, it needed replacing. The support had collapsed & it was like trying to sleep in a trench! Totally unacceptable for any grade hotel never mind a 3 star. There was no replacement mattress or any other room available. All that was done was to turn the mattress which was a marginal improvement.

So bad we checked out after 15 minutes. The room was filthy, when I went to reception to complain they said it was because we were in a dog friendly room. I’m guessing that the previous occupants dog ate biryani as it was all over the floor! The entrance to the hotel was very dilapidated, as were the corridors and our room. Wallpaper was hanging off the walls and water stains everywhere. The images they show online are nothing like any of the areas we saw and the dust in the room was thick, clearly not having been dusted for months. The bedding was dirty, cracks in the walls and ceiling and the telephone was filthy. The tea/coffee tray was heavily stained with various hairs all over. The bed rest was covered in a thick layer of dust and all the areas of carpet by the skirting boards were thick with dust. The chairs in the room were stained and thick with dust. It looked like the room hadn’t been cleaned properly for many months. The bathroom was clean but very dilapidated. The furniture in the room was very old, heavy and dated. The room we had looked nothing like the photos on the website. We complained to the manager who was helpful and asked housekeeping to go and clean the room. When the housekeeping staff came to reception I heard them say to the manager that the room was ‘a sh*t tip’. We had traveled from Southampton and the last thing we wanted to do was find another hotel, but to be honest we’d rather have slept in the car! We did get a refund thankfully.

Probably the oldest hotel in Buxton

Near to the train station so easy by public transport and walkable to the Buxton shops cafes and main streets. Nice parks just over the road and the Buxton water fountain. Very uneven floors but it is an old hotel. Breakfast was OK. Room was a bit small/ difficult to open and close doors. Clean. Lots of character.

Good things were the comfort and cleanliness and opposite the opera house, and easy walking distance to shops etc. poor things were tatty exterior, £6 per 24 hours parking which wasn’t made clear, lack of charm, but would use again for ‘a night at the opera’.

An old hotel with character. Never know whether the next step is up or down on the amazingly uneven floors. Some people may find that annoying I found it charming.

Never again

Walked in and found it shabby,including carpets. Old building and furniture. Everything else acceptable. Booked for 2 nights in a double room for me and my husband. Had a dreadful nights sleep in a 4ft bed which was very uncomfortable. Woke at 2am, by 5am had made up our mind to leave. This room should have been advertised as a large single. Never stay here again, wouldn’t recommend it.
