The hotel was handy for Buxton town. Room was ok, bathroom set in the eaves so insufficient height for the shower if you're tall. Separate toilet also in eaves only really suited to a smaller adult! Tried the pool and gym area but again only ok. Reception area good as plenty of spaces to sit. Would I stay here again, probably not.

Bring earplugs and noise cancelling headphones, if your window is near the hotels ventilation system it will be very loud 24/7. Otherwise the hotel has a beautiful exterior and communal interior areas for the cheap price.

We were very impressed with our room which was very clean and looked freshly reburbished. The hotel itself was also clean and fresh with very helpful and friendly staff. A stones throw from restaurants and the theatre so convenient location. Would recommend to others.

Wouldn't stay again.

Was put in a room that had a toilet separate from the bathroom, not a problem apart from the pipes singing and knocking for ten minutes after every flush. The tap only fed cold water. I asked to switch rooms and was put on the very top floor. The room was very basic and dated. Tv didn't work well, neither did the heating. Wasn't particularly happy about the £5 a night charge for parking on top of the room rate.

enjoyable, spotlessly clean, faded grandeur we visited for a concert & weren’t sure what to expect of the hotel exceeded expectations! The towels, toiletries & shower were all as good as more expensive place. Impossible for a big hotel of this age to compete with the new builds. It was comfortable, certainly met our needs & staff all went above & beyond

Stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel was in a great location, close to everything , the train station is next door too. It's a good base for travelling around the peak district . The hotel was clean , the staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on the food. Id recommend staying here.

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!
