Wonderful stay
We had a fabulous time at the palace hotel. The room was lovely and clean and it had a tremendous view of Buxton. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel,both were great, service and quality of the food. We will be back in June as we have booked tickets for a show at Buxton Opera House. I was unaware that the swimming pool has a charge of £6 and an extra £2 for a towel. This is not advertised anywhere on reception that I could seem

Faded Lady but Value for Money
Derided by some, Britannia Hotels do the nation a great favour by taking on some of the ‘glamour hotels’ of the past. In making them affordable for the mass market compromises have to be made and with the Palace Hotel this shows in some of the areas of decor. The ‘Spa’ was a limited experience- a small weights room, an excellent steam room and sauna but the pool was cold and there was no “jacuzzi”. Breakfast was fine though we arrived at 9am, 30 mins before it closed, and the room was packed and the staff a little overwhelmed- our fault for being late arrivals. At £72.50 for a compact room plus breakfast it was excellent value.

The outside was phenomenal. Loved it. Inside was back in the 1800s and old fashioned. The pool was cold. Breakfast wasn’t the best with the hot chocolate empty. Toaster was slow and not working properly. Nice staff in the hotel though

Building very large and very old so the upkeep is going to be a challenge. Couldn't turn the heating down or off in the bathroom so it was nuclear hot in the room when we entered. Had to sleep with the old sash window open. Stayed in room 52 which had no lift access, massive bathroom, ceilings really high, not many power sockets for charging your electricals, TV off to the side of the bed in front of the window which made shutting curtains a challenge. You had to pay for wi-fi for each device in the room but it was free in the lobby.
