Great stay again at the Britannia Palace, everything as it should be, an old building so expect the odd creak but for the price I’d say it was great value.

Before booking the hotel, I read reviews (for the standard double room), it was not so great, but it's the only place we found with availability near where we were going, so I went ahead and booked it. Upon arrival of the hotel, the outside and the lobby were beautiful, and they had the air of elegance, and there were many well-dressed cliental, and looks like it's a place for a destination wedding. Well, we were sorely disappointed with our room. Here are a few major and minor issues: * OUR SINK WILL NOT DRAIN. * We only had one set of towels, and they were SO THIN and old and ratty. * The room was small that you cannot move your suitcase around the bed without lifting over the bed to it to the other side. * There were 2 packs of coffee (all others we been to had 6 or more packs) * No elevator to our room, 3 flights up (something to consider) * All the pillows were hard as a rock The only good thing I can say is that it is clean. I can put us a lot as long as the room is clean.

Good discount on normal 1 night price made this hotel stay unmissable. Literally across the road from Buxton Opera house. However, our double bed was 2 singles joined together and my mattress was hard, like sleeping on a table top or floor. I wasnt allowed to book breakfast at time of room booking (£24 for 2) so we walked down to Wetherspoons (10 mins) and had it for £12 for 2 with unlimited Lavazza coffee.

I enjoyed staying in this large grand hotel near the station for a very reasonable price. The compact room was a bit bigger than expected and the bathroom had a large bath with shower. I only stayed one night but was disappointed that it was advertised with an indoor pool yet that wasn't available due to renovation. Otherwise a very nice stay.

We had a nice two night stay at the hotel in a compact double. It was definitely compact with just enough room to move round the bed but that was okay. Maybe if they removed the bath fro the shower room and had just the shower it would make more room. The room was too warm and it was quite and effort to open the window as these were heavy sash windows and I had to prop it open with a shoe. Unfortunately we backed on to the ventilation system which was going all night. The breakfast was very nice. It was buffet style but everything was cooked really well. It would be useful to have a second tea and coffee station. The hotel was very well place for everything we wanted to do over the weekend. Parking was an additional cost and we struggled to park when we got back to the hotel.

Currently being refurbished so lovely and clean in places but paint gloss drips and splashes spoilt it. Choice of food at breakfast good. Really was looking forward to the pool which was part of the reason I booked only to find it was closed for refurbishment when we got there. No prior notice of this. Would have affected booking. Staff helpful and friendly.
