Great hotel , location and history

Very comfortable, clean hotel, well kept considering age. Great history. Room was comfortable, clean, water hot and good pressure. Perfect location for theatre, cinema, restaurants and shopping. Only disappointment I went down to breakfast early as suggested by hotel to avoid the rush but breakfast items were had been there a while. If this happens to you ask for freshly cooked I was told after - a bit of a waste

We have stayed at the Old Hall Hotel over many years. On each visit we have never been disappointed with anything the hotel offers. A stay at the hotel is a unique experience. Its long history, in a wonderful location, reflects an atmosphere and character not possible in a more modern hotel. Checking out this time, we were a little bothered to receive a bill for room service drinks which we hadn't had. The matter was resolved easily and pleasantly by the receptionist and wont affect our memory of an enjoyable stay. We will certainly return again.

Cozy night away

A beautiful old building, in a beautiful town! Buxton has been restored massively since we last came here 14 years ago and the whole place is stunning! The hotel, although a little tired, was excellent! We had a lovely room, great breakfast and the staff were great! We will definitely be back!

The old hall cannot be beaten in terms of history. Its truely amazing how many historical figures have been here. However, i do think the hotel has seen better days but not in the way you'd think. The modern fixtures (bathroom) are really badly weathered, the rooms dont seem to be as clean as you'd hope. The older fixtures in the rooms were way better kept, which doesnt make sense. It feels as though maybe the love to keep the hotel, as a whole, has been lost. In terms of someone that's staying with young children like us, I'd suggest staying else where. As its an old building the rooms are not soundproof & so little kids moving about is really hard to control. Which i guess is somewhat my own fault for not researching futher but as they offered a family room I thought it wouldnt be that bad. The breakfast was lovely, lots of options for a buffet. If you require assistance with luggage, there's no "bellboy" or staff available for this & the only lift is from almost 100 years ago so its quite small (pretty cool its still used). So keep this in mind for those that cant carry their own luggage or have a lot. If youre needing somewhere to stay for a night then this may be a cool option but personally i wouldnt book this hotel for more than that.

Stay at the Old Hall Hotel

Super friendly staff, really helpful. The hotel is quite tired but has amazing history. Food selection for dinner is also quite limited. With such amazing local produce in the area, it would be nice to see some of that featuring. No residents in the restaurant and only a couple of tables in the bar had diners and on a Saturday night.
