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.

Perfect stay for a short walk into Buxton
Lovely stay. Have been coming here for over ten years. We were greeted by a very friendly young man on reception and lovely chat in the bar area too with the barman and other guests.

Room was very cold amd needed to soeak to hotel staff to het heating sorted. Room was also very noisy with exrernal noise of swimming pool amd spa constant throughout the night. Hotel is in serious need of updating as needed to unplug kettle/tv to ensure we charged our mobile phones. Food in restauramt was ok as was breakfast, however no mixed berries for breakfast. No one on hand for a choice of eggs so left with fried.

Irritating
I use a Powerchair. I found the hotel’s accessibility difficult. The bathroom was not accessible, and I found it difficult to be expected to climb into the shower, which I couldn't. Most accessible bathrooms are the wetroom type. More accessible sockets would also be helpful and the room was quite cold. It felt like the room was thrown together just so they could claim they had ‘an accessible room’ The charge of £7 per day per device is excessive for wifi. I didn't use it. It was also irritating to be expected to negotiate my way from the dining room back to my room to get my wallet/ phone to pay for an orange juice I had with my meal.
