Overnight stay
easy check in with friendly polite staff. Room good value. Great location for the Opera House to see a show. Good breakfast. Special mention to Suzanne on reception for her helpfulness and sense of humour

Great value for an overnight stay!
We had an excellent stay at the Grade 2 listed Britannia Palace! While the room is certainly compact it was clean throughout and suited our needs just fine for an overnight stay. Suzanne on reception was super friendly and helpful and talked me through how to register my car - car parking was free for 24 hours from when we arrived. The swimming pool and steam room were also a welcome addition for what was a very affordable price!

Brittaniia palace hotel Buxton.
Room was very clean. Staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Breakfast was excellent. The bed was comfortable but next time I would ask for extra pillows as the ones provided were so thin they were useless. However I would definitely stay there again.

Love these grand old hotels
Love this hotel. Been modernised since i last visited 5 years which is great. Just so nice to see these old hotels available to the public and still running. A fabulous snapshot of the past. Good service and dog friendly. breakfast a bit so so - otherwise great.

Great stay at Buxton
I booked a Standard Double but the room we were given was a compact at best, tooled into the eaves of the building. I went to reception to point this out and was upgraded to a very large family room. I would point out the hotel is immaculate and would 100% stop there again. Position is spot on for the town a just a stones throw from the station. Parking is easy at £5 for 24 hours.

Grand traditional comfortable hotel
Georgian grand hotel. Hotel has done well to preserve the grand features. This is one for those who like character to a building. Staff were excellent. Service was fast and efficient. Lots of nooks and crannies to sit in with loads of old style leather oxblood sofas and chairs throughout- so comfortable after dinner drinking. Food was lovely. Only requests would be for fresh juices at breakfast rather than concentrate/ squash and a scrambled egg option. Very nice stay - will return.

Great Christmas visit
It was a great stay for one night in the lovely spa town of Buxton.
Jim, 1-night trip

One night stay.
Excellent hotel, facilities and communal areas were good, however the view from the window in our room, in the annex was not. Car parking can also be an issue even though there is a daily charge for parking. The staff we met were brilliant.
Wendy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

My overall experience was quite good to be honest the staff were very helpful and it was quite clean for the overall size of the hotel and age the only problem that i experienced was in the room itself where the sink hole didnt actually work properly but appart from that it was a nice room and hotel.

2 Night Stay
Two night stay for a works outing. Room had been very recently refurbished. Still a sense of faded grandeur but good vale, central location and I had no issues. It was a return visit
Martin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This was a minibreak with my partner - the building is amazing and the location is the best; our room was definitely a tight squeeze but immaculately clean and comfortable enough for a short stay. The steam room was closed when we visited, unfortunately, and the queues for the bar were long. The staff were generally friendly though.

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.

A dated gem
Lovely hotel albeit a bit dated. Friendly staff, simple but efficient brekfast and nice lobby and bar facilities. The rooms were clean and the bed was actually quite nice but everything in there was a litle worn. This hotel was propably one of the nicest places in the region in its hayday but those glorydays are somewhat passed. But an old Jaguar is still a Jaguar, and you should think of this hotel that way. Did not try the spa. I would stay here again.
