Building very large and very old so the upkeep is going to be a challenge. Couldn't turn the heating down or off in the bathroom so it was nuclear hot in the room when we entered. Had to sleep with the old sash window open. Stayed in room 52 which had no lift access, massive bathroom, ceilings really high, not many power sockets for charging your electricals, TV off to the side of the bed in front of the window which made shutting curtains a challenge. You had to pay for wi-fi for each device in the room but it was free in the lobby.

Hotel was ok but after we came back from a night out we found somebody else’s jacket on our bed. Told receptionist who didn’t seem that interested. Woke up in the night to someone trying to enter the room. Told reception in the morning and they are going to look in to it

Built in 1868, this is a Majestic Hotel that sits on a hill overlooking the town of Buxton. It has a Victorian appearance when you walk through the revolving doors, but with a luxurious, and comfortable feel in the reception, and lounge, bar area. The staff greet you on arrival with a smile, warm and friendly.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two lovely nights. We were very pleasantly surprised by the size of our room and were impressed by the cleanliness and quality of the hotel in general. It is a grand looking hotel, huge and spacious with a pool and gym and marvellous looking banquet rooms. We only ate breakfast at the hotel during our stay there and it was a pleasant experience. We ate out at a couple of the many restaurants in the town centre. I can fully recommend the nearby Thai restaurant where the food was delicious. My one and only complaint is there is no free Wi-Fi. It costs £7 per device per day, which would incur an additional charge of £28 fo both me and my wife. That said though we thought the price of our two night stay was very reasonable and the staff we interacted with were really polite and friendly. We will definitely be back.

The good old Palace Hotel has been done up since we last stayed here. All round it looks better and feels better than before. Not everything is perfect though: breakfast is a bit of a crush; and trying to force guests to pay for wifi seems like something from another era! Anyway, it's a better prospect than it was before, providing your phone has good data.

Great stay again at the Britannia Palace, everything as it should be, an old building so expect the odd creak but for the price I’d say it was great value.

Good discount on normal 1 night price made this hotel stay unmissable. Literally across the road from Buxton Opera house. However, our double bed was 2 singles joined together and my mattress was hard, like sleeping on a table top or floor. I wasnt allowed to book breakfast at time of room booking (£24 for 2) so we walked down to Wetherspoons (10 mins) and had it for £12 for 2 with unlimited Lavazza coffee.
