Would stay again but have dinner elsewhere
Good hotel. Friendly efficient staff. Rooms spacious and clean, comfy bed. Furniture a bit tired but old furniture often is, why throw it away and buy new when it’s perfectly usable. Hugh bath!! So much history in this building. Dinner menu was limited and they had run out of a few options too so a little disappointing but food reasonable and hot. Breakfast much better, no complaints there.

Mixed Feelings at Old Hall Hotel, Buxton.
We were staying for 2 nights as a birthday treat for me. The hotel is one of the oldest in the country I believe, so a little allowance for age was important. Our Family Room no. 22 was massive and very comfortable and pleasant. There were snags though eg. Vinyl split in bathroom floor, radiator didn't work in bathroom. Horrendously bright LED street light outside the window making it hard to sleep as there are only shutter blinds on the window - no curtains! Overall, we liked the room and the bed was comfy but the pillows were terrible! 4 x flat, hard pillows....even in a Travelodge, you get a choice of firm or soft. The location is great. Right next to the beautiful Pavillion gardens and Opera House...so central but still peaceful. And I wouldn't fault the breakfast staff and provision - they were happy to provide veggie sausages for us vegetarians. And everything was well cooked and tasty. All in all, it was a mixed reaction. In the front lounge somebody had done an amazing Christmas decor complete with a Muppet themed tree! But elsewhere, dirty front entrance with wallpaper peeling off the ceiling......and you'd have to pay me to use the scary ancient lift again!!! I was also disappointed that in spite of my partner informing a number of staff about my birthday.....nobody made any special gesture - no free drink or anything. Thought that was a bit mean..... There's character and shabby chic,and then there's tired and needing work.....The Old Hall felt like the latter

Had a very enjoyable stay.The room was a little tired but was warm and inviting The only negative was the mattress which was obviously past its best as it hollowed out on one side. The dinning room was beautiful with white starched linen table cloths and serviettes . The staff were attentive and the breakfast delicious .

Our opinion of our stay at the Old Hall Hotel
Overall a good stay and we would return. Location, in the centre of the town. Next to a beautiful park and leisure facilities. All attractions and shops within walking distance. Parking £6 for 24 hours for hotel visitors, not many spaces because they are public ones but we were lucky and dropped on one. Receptionist was exceptionally kind, attentive and helpful. Room, spacious, clean and warm. Beautifully decorated and this gives it a comfortable opulent feeling to match the grand old historcal building. Evening restaurant experience was disappointing, expensive for food that was nothing special. Incomplete cheese board, no grapes, however no prior warning which would have influenced our choice. Breakfast was a buffet, typical choices and fresh, however room to hughly improve using locally sourced organic food which would ooze flavour and make it a breakfast to remember.

Check in was nice and quick by friendly staff. Room very spacious, large bathroom, comfortable bed, room nice, clean and warm. Breakfast was great, help yourself to anything that was available. The hotel is very old with lots of character, great building. Everyone was very polite and helpful, gave us some great information with what was going on around Buxton and how to get to Bakewell on the local transport. Great stay, would definitely stop here again, when next coming up that way. Thanks.

Ideally situated for all amenities. Room comfortable. Breakfast spot on, but because the plates were cold, the hot food cooled before we had finished eating. Warm plates would have made a big difference.

One night stay
Hotel close to the centre of the town and only a minute walk from the opera house and gardens. Looks like some refurbishment in progress. Tidy rooms but some of the chairs a touch fragile. Rooms clean. Parts of the hotel look like they could do with a bit of redecorating. Lift in the hotel but small and temperamental with sliding door on inside which if not closed stops the lift working (left open by a guest on a top floor so needed to be closed to resume working) Good breakfast. Parking outside the hotel but was busy. A ticket from the hotel covered 24hrs from issue. Otherwise it's pay and display which could be expensive as time limited during the day.

Perfectly adequate
Perfectly adequate 3star hotel. A touch of nostalgic faded glory. Tired carpets, overworked staff ( and too few of them ) and unadventurous evening menu. Comfortable, warm room and a good shower. £9 for a small glass of wine seemed excessive but it was well chilled!

I would NEVER deal with this property and chain again. Because of flight changes, we asked to delay our arrival by one day, and instead add TWO days on the end. They flatly refused to do this, even tho to their benefit, repeatedly stating that these were the rules for the group. On arrival, they expressed surprise when we arrived "one day late, and the front desk were completely indifferent to the whole situation. So we stayed elsewhere for THREE extra nights in the end. And for good measure, the hotel itself is tired, regardless of age. Some rear ends need kicking around the whole place.
