It's a very old hotel, so lots of features. Some people might think it's dated but that's part of the charm. Corridors etc. need an update although this is a massive task. However, our bedroom was lovely as was the ensuite, it was warm, clean, very comfortable beds, traditionally furnished & well decorated. All the public rooms were comfortable & well presented. Breakfast was very good even though it was buffet style. The food was constantly being brought out fresh & hot. With tea/coffee table service. Lovely crisp white tablecloths & napkins, good silverware. The staff were very helpful, pleasant & courteous. We'd stayed for the theatre which is literally across the road. The hotel is also dog friendly which was good to see. We enjoyed our stay & would return.

We stayed here for a girls' weekend, and the hotel was really well positioned and a lovely old building. Most of the staff were lovely, and it was nice and clean. Our room (3 person family room) was missing a few basic amenities like a toilet brush, hair dryer, full length mirror and the ability to turn off the radiators (it was really hot), but the view of the park and the location and quaintness of the place made up for it.

Very good value for money. Hotel and B&B prices are on the pricier side in this area and this hotel is very fairly priced, we had a lovely twin room and bathroom and freshly cooked breakfast. Parking was just £6.50 for 24 hours. Location is excellent, just across the road from Buxton Opera House. Would stay again!

It's a lovely old hotel, convenient for the park, theatre and shopping. Our bedroom was a large double, with a bath, separate shower and two armchairs (very comfortable). They also accept dogs (we wouldn't have gone there if they didn't).

The Old Hall Hotel is a very old historic building located in a very central location in Buxton. The staff were welcoming and genuinely seemed to care about whether you had a good experience. We enjoyed a great meal in the restaurant and were comfortable in our room, which was basic but very clean and sufficient for our needs.

A comfortable well positioned hotel

Very much enjoyed our two night stay at the Old Hall. We had the spacious suite on the top floor which was accessed by a narrow, twisting staircase. Not recommended if you have mobility issues. The hotel is well positioned between the pavilion gardens and the crescent. It’s also 200 yds from the Opera house. Good bar and dining facilities. Would definitely recommend.
