Lovely hotel.

Really great hotel. Staff were so good and helpful. Although the hotel is extremely old, I couldn't fault it. We had a great time.

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).

Perfect location for our weekend stay in Buxton.

Really enjoyed our stay in the oldest hotel in England. It was full of character with a comfortable bed and the staff were really friendly. The breakfast was amazing and set us up for the day and we would certainly return.

New mattress required!

The most uncomfortable bed ever!! When you book a four poster room you expect a bed bigger than a double & the mattress was soo uncomfortable as it sunk in the middle. Toilet roll on rations! Great breakfast.

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.
