Horrible experience
The room small window was adjacent brick pillar overlooking the rubbish bins and skips , I have dyslexia and found it impossible to try get to the room my partner had to come and get me as I got lost there were so many corridors to get through and door it was quite some distance from the lift and then we had to climb stairs to eventually get to where we were staying it was horrendous and scary , we asked to change rooms so the put us a floor up higher closer to a lift but again no window to look through!! It was a bathroom window??? I’ve never experienced anything like this I felt really enclosed and claustrophobic I’m 66 yrs old pensioner and did not think we would be treated in this way they didn’t help us with our luggage , I have a hidden disability and found the whole experience upsetting, however I would like to end on a positive note the young lady in the bar was a lovely hard worker who was so polite I’m just really upset as to the way we were treated my husband had my case and his and stumbled and hurt himself when we were having to move out our luggage to the other room

Your Key Card System Needs Serious Attention
After a long day, you don't expect the have to go to your third floor room 3 times and then a fourth with the on duty staff in order to gain access. On the first occasion I was asked if I placed the card next to my phone (I didn't). After the third try (which involves carrying your luggage up and down because you can't just leave your cases in the hallway) I went down and asked to see the manager. The girl on the desk got the master card and came to the room to unlock it then said I would have to use that one from now on. Not once did she apologise for the inconvenience. During my 2 day stay, I asked 3 other guests if they had the same problem and they said yes. On departure I was chatting to a gentleman who told me he comes here every month and everything he has this problem. So, the hotel obviously know about it on a daily basis yet give the impression yours must be a one off. The most annoying thing though is the lack of apology or concern. One day, someone is going to be desperate to get to the toilet in their room and end up doing it on the carpet outside their door. Would I do this if caught short? Well, put it this way . . . I've paid for my room and it's facilities and if I can't use them, what do you think?

This is the second time I have stayed here and I like it. It has obviously been a grand place in the past and it retains some nice features. With a building like this it is difficult not to notice some little things that need attention. However I have had two of the best nights sleep ever when staying here. The bed was super comfortable and massive. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is extra but that wasn't a big deal and I have paid more for less in other places.

Mixed bag
The bathroom was tired and dated, there was a charge to use wifi in the room, there was a charge to park your car in the carpark. There was a charge to use the hotel swimming pool (!). None of this was explained or seemed apparent at time of booking. The receptionist at checkout was just plain rude when asked a question about car parking. I've never left a bad review before and we are really easy going people but I didn't think the price we paid justified all this. The hotel itself is lovely and the other waiting staff were friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely fine stay for the room rate that I paid, was outdated and room was a little chilly so was grateful for blanket and heating in room was decent. All in all, a no frills hotel that could do with a refurb that is in keeping in its time. Cracking location and impressive entrance/lobby. Would absolutely stay again.

Stayed in room 167, tv not tuning into any channels. Phoned hotel up 3 times no answer. Went down to reception phoned again and it was only when i pressed the bell did a young lad came out the back saying he just heard it. He changed our room straight away to room 54. It took nearly 10 mins for hot water to come through to the bath. On the plus side tv was working. No wifi in room unless you pay, its 2024 move with the times! Expensive breakfast at £12 on the day you arrive or £15 the morning you decide to have it. Better to go 5 mins into Buxton and use a local cafe.
