The hotel is full of character, creaky floor boards and all. Comfortable beds and nice bathroom. Breakfast was good. Excellent parking outside the hotel. We had evening meal at their sister hotel The Crescent just around the corner which was excellent. It was our second visit to The Old Hall great value for money.

The location is fantastic for Buxton Opera House. The hotel is old and quirky. Our room was nice. It had both a shower and a bath. The breakfast was good and staff were helpful when we couldn't get our TV working.

This over five hundred years old hotel is an interesting place. Wonky floors creaking everywhere (we’d all be creaking long before five hundred years old) Going up a slight slope to the bathroom is novel. Breakfast is very good. Comfortable beds. Great location.

There was a mixup with the rooms when we checked in and they changed our rooms to something simple which was great. A very higgeldy piggeldy hotel layout but it worked out in the end. Breakfast was fine. But not enough staff on hand.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Let's start with the positive. Fantastic location close to pubs & restaurants Bed comfortable. Very disappointed, the hotel was very run down & tired. Staff were not welcoming and lacked enthusiasm. Buffet breakfast very average. Parking was difficult, You can purchase a 24 hr parking pass. But a parking space is not guaranteed if you decide to go visit the surrounding areas. Dog friendly at a cost of £20 a night, front door locked at 11pm. Sadly, we checked out early. Not recommended.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff were so helpful & friendly. The beds were extremely comfortable. Sadly, the hotel has a lot of problems, from the lift (confusing instructions in it), to the rooms - understanding totally that it was an old building, and the lack of signage from the lift to my room - 33. The breakfast was poor. Judging by the amounts left on every persons plates, I wasn't the only one who thought this!
