Menu choice for dinner and breakfast was a little limited.

Nice Breakfast. Room comfortable with all the facilities. Great location right next to the gardens and town centre

Understandably an old large building but in need of a little tlc.

Breakfast was very good, great choice and quality produce.

Very noisy outside the hotel. Tourists and locals out for drinks etc. We were woken up a few times during the night and early morning from staff coming into work etc. Bring your ear plugs!

Lovely old hotel. Quaint rooms, plenty of history. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is excellent.

Beautiful room with pleasant view of park. Relaxed and friendly staff, and excellent breakfast. Central position ideal for train station and exploring Buxton. I've stayed at the Old Hall a few times previously (although not for a few years)and never been disappointed with anything.

No free parking at premises.

We were told our accommodation would be away from event, we were still overlooking event in park. Whilst our accommodation was spacious, it was very tired and felt like we were in staff accommodation. New carpet, coat of paint and a deeper clean would really change the space and make it perfect for family or groups. Not a glimpse of luxury, but fantastic space.

Central location was great, staff informed after booking of event taking place on doorstep with alternative parking suggestions. Wonderful breakfast.

Angle of shower head wrong - water went all over the bathroom! That's it!

Bed very comfortable. Quiet at night despite being so central. Amazing breakfast. Fantastic history to the hotel - the manager told us all about it (Mary Queen of Scots stayed here). Really charming place. Wifi brilliant. Friendly staff. Nice bar and dinner delicious and huge portions. Clean room. Powerful shower. Very dog-friendly.

I did not appreciate beforehand that I would have to climb so many stairs to room 23 even though the staff helped me down with my luggage the following morning

Breakfast & lounge comfortable for an hour or so on a very hot day

Lift

Over the years things have changed - for instance the baths have been replaced by showers, the 'music room' with usable piano now a rather twee tea room. Bedroom furnishings - now bleak blinds where previously curtains hung which matched the hotel's decor and atmosphere. Breakfasts - although still good, not as 'complete' - little individual pots of preserves now replaced by large communal bowls, no fruit basket etc... Oh, and very small plates for toast.

We've stayed at The Old Hall Hotel many times because of it's location and relaxed and not too formal atmosphere.

Check-in took 20 minutes. The receptionist was dilatory in dealing with a couple in front of us and did not even acknowledge that we had been waiting for a long time: not a good welcome. Breakfast was sub-Premier Inn standard: no fresh fruit salad or pastries.

Great room and bathroom. Excellent location. We were in Buxton to attend events in the festival. Parking was available outside the hotel, and everything was in close walking distance.

I thought when I booked there was breakfast, but unfortunately they had no kitchen staff in the mornings.

The location was perfect with easy access to the town centre.

FOOD TO BE KEPT HOT AT BREAKFAST

Being disabled I was so grateful for the help from reception staff to access my room ,store my wheel chair and ensured that I was safe when accessing the lift etc.

Great position, especially for the Opera House, as we were attending the Gilbert & Sullivan Festival. Lovely olde worlde dining room serving very nice food, nice ambience.

Could use a bit of paint and updating but I’m sure an old building always needs something.

Faded glory but it’s clean and centrally located. Do not book if you have any mobility concerns! So many steps up and down to get to a room.

Stayed in July 2025

A musty smell in the room windows need to left open. No electrical point near dressing table. Old carpet Don’t like a shower curtain Overall the hotel needs a refurbishment and freshen

Historic , character , friendly , good breakfast traditional feel, comfortable mattress Lovely bedding pure white Plenty of towels

A bit noisy from outside and nearby rooms but it didn't disturb us too much.

Full of character, super friendly, helpful staff. Lovely breakfast, comfy beds

Given we had a partially disabled 85yo, the lift was very difficult to use due to it seldom being available, without one of our party going to find it on another floor and bring the lift down/ up. This caused great delays and anxiety for us. On the morning of departure the cleaning staff appeared to commandeer the lift for transporting bedsheets, and were quite unfriendly and uncooperative when we discussed them making the lift available so we could depart! The lift could really do with an upgrade.

location was perfect, room was good sized, including good sized bed, altho the 2nd room we had booked was much smaller (despite same price). Breakfast was good

The hotel was comfortable. The main reception area could do with decoration and new carpet

There is nothing not to like about the hotel.

Location is superb and the history of the hotel is very interesting.

Stayed in July 2025

The hotel perhaps needed modernising a little

The location was perfect, very close to the town centre, and excellent parking facilities.

Windows now need painting

Location, helpful staff. Breakfast and character of the building.
