The hotel feels very in need of renovation. It's not old as in a historic place, it's old as in rundown and scruffy. It looks like a sense of pride has been lost and even the cleaning is neglected. The bathroom was dirty, the mattress was old, unsupportive and uncomfortable. While most of the staff were great, they seemed overstretched. Reception was unattended with a 'back soon' sign every time. The lift didn't work. There was virtually nothing available for breakfast despite them knowing about dietary requirements for months in advance and them even making a courtesy call a week in advance to check. Overall, a highly disappointing stay, not worth the money, and I definitely won't stay there again.

I have given this 5 star for character - location is super, staff are great, decor of the hotel impressive. Yes the carpets are tired and the entrance needs a spruce but I appreciated the individuality

Parking right outside. Alistair(?) on reception was a FONT of knowledge and very friendly. Room was really lovely, great big windows to look out to the park. Towels and linen were as perfectly acceptable. Dinner was an unexpected treat. We had the ham chop and duck dishes. Breakfast was standard included buffet breakfast.

Our room was warm, clean and very comfortable.

This is a quirky hotel steeped in history which me and my husband loved. On arrival our room was not suitable for our needs, this could have been avioded if i had called head ofour stay. The receptionist and alastair massey were fantastic and offered fantastic alternative room within minutes and this was beyond my expectations as it had a four poster bed and very large. This made our stay so much better and we had a fantastic break. Thank you to all.

The room was very clean and the amenities were good. The staff were all helpful and courteous and the food was delicious.

Clean room , staff very helpful and friendly .

Quirky old hotel, with strange angles on floors etc

The hotel is very old and in some respects needs redecoration however we enjoyed a really good stay. The location is excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. We both slept very well and breakfast was great. Would definitely stay again

Staff were friendly and the hotel is in an ideal location. Giving 3/5 stars as our room seemed to have mould on one of the walls and on the windows.

Pleasant room Enjoyable Breakfast

Brilliant location. The Deputy Manager was very helpful and efficient. Breakfast was self serve and was delicious and plentiful. Parking outside the hotel is avaliable for 4 hours max during certain times (pay at meter), however you can purchase a 24 hour permit from Reception for £6. We'd definitely stay again. (pay at meter)

The room was very dated and wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been. The restaurant was very good also were the staff.

Beautiful period property, crammed full of history.

Clean room. Polite staff, very amenable.

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.

The room was good , comfy bed , decent size bathroom . Staff were ok , breakfast ok but they accept pets . We had a dog barking evening when owners out of room and again morning , not 5 mins , on off all bloody evening , and morning when owners breakfasting !!!

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.

room was in good condition and staff were very good
