Old Hall Hotel  

Leaving

Room was shabby , dirty and needed refurbishment. There was a large blood stain on the armchair. The doorlock did not work. there is no parking and you have to pay £3 at reception for a ticket. It was supposed to be an executive room! At £150 I would expect a lot more.

This hotel has heaps of character and an interesting historical background. It has a cosy feel to it due to the age of the building and it's subsequent presentation, but the finishing touches are all there as well.

Friendly atmosphere in a well maintained comfortable historic building

Some of the old rooms have a slight gradient on the floor but that is the norm for older buildings.

This historic hotel has up to the minute facilities. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The room was very clean and the enormous bed was very comfortable. I also liked the adopt a teddy for charity idea. I would definately stay there again.

Being an historic hotel it was quite creaky

A friendly 'old fashioned' feeling but with al the facilities we wanted

The only negative aspect was that the artificial lighting in our room (room 27) was not good enough for us to be able to read easily in the evening, either in the chairs or in bed. Apparently as one gets older the light you need to read comfortably increases and we found reading a strain.

Old..a little creeky...first class service....could do with a lick of paint here and there...first class food...and we would certainly stay there again

We had never been to Buxton before but found the Old Hall Hotel to be an ideal base for exploring the Peaks & surrounding area. We will definitely be back & have already recommended the hotel to family & friends. The hotel is comfortable, the bars & restaurant were excellent & good value & the staff were ourstanding.

The revolving door & tiny lift might make things difficult for families with small children or the disabled but the staff are likely to give every assistance & the door can be opened if necessary.

Food, service and location were all excellent..

Our room was slightly disappointing. Steps up to the bathroom were unwelcome.

We were very disappointed by the service at breakfast - it was very slow and the buffet table was poorly stocked and not refilled whilst we were in there.

Excellant location, full of history, clean and comfortable

1) Quaint old world and lot more interesting to stay at than predictably bland budget hotels such as travel lodge, 2) Old Hall staff were especially friendly and helpful, particularly head waitress at breakfast, and 3) my wife and I had a particularly good evening meal in the hotel restuarant (helpful staff, romantic atmosphere and exceptionally good food). We extended our stay by a night because of the friendly atmosphere and the Hotel ambiance. 4) The hotel reception arrangements for car parking outside the hotel made access much better than if we had to search for parking in the town.

1) Unreliable Old Hall Hotel wi fi / internet signal, frustrating loss of signal in designated downstairs lounge areas and limited access to wall plugs to charge laptop batteriess in lounges ... suggestion, ... it would be better if internet was extended to all guest rooms. 2) TV failed to bedroom for two days, 'no signal'.

Both dinner and breakfast were excellent with the pre-theatre dinner good value. We could not have chosen a more central location in Buxton.

The room was a little disappointing,they are never as good as the web-site pictures! In particular the bath/shower was totally unsuitable for my wife who has slight mobility problems. Parking was also an issue and at their prices I object to paying extra to park my car.
