We stayed here for one night when we went to the theatre. The hotel being only a stone thrown from the theatre and town centre made it a great choice. All areas of hotel were clean as was our room. We were very happy with our pre theatre meal and buffet Breakfast. All staff were helpful and we will certainly stay at The Old Hall again.

Excellent location right in the centre of Buxton. We were attending a concert in Opera House which is about 200 yards away from the venue. There were several excellent bars and restaurants within close proximity. Room was clean and functional with decent breakfast in the morning. Would stay again if visiting the area.

Amazingly helpful and courteous staff. Very large room fully equipped with a large bathroom. Close to all shops and theatres and a lovely and very stylish bar just around the corner. The Pavilion park is less than 30 metres away. Stunning views.

One of the most important things when staying anywhere is a comfortable nights sleep. We found the bed one of the most comfortable we have slept in for some time. The cleanliness of the room was okay and the staff very attentive and courteous. Would have given it 5 stars, had it not been for a slightly warm breakfast and problems with the lift not being used correctly. No good when you have mobility problems. Would still return, as it is in an excellent position for the theatre and like the character/charm of the hotel.

Breakfast was excellent We were in a accessible room but I was unable to get into the shower as there was a step up into it The hotel is very old but does have a lift which is possibly 40” square, it is extremely tight, I only just got in it by taking my footplates and handles off

Hotel was nice and clean with exceptional staff. The hotel itself could do with some updating and the lift had a habit of not working if not closed properly. We did report this to the staff. Perfect location close to everything in Buxton.
