Superb Hotel.

Superb from start to finish. A huge grand building with Superb decor throughout. Lovely friendly staff. Clean fresh exceptionally well equipped bedrooms, all freshly and modernly decorated. There are beautifully kept grounds with ample outside seating. The Palace is perfectly located within Buxton, for all amenities, sightseeing, pubs, restaurants and cafés. There is also ample parking at the hotel. An absolute must!

Lovely view, but poor breakfast.

Large room with excellent views over Buxton. Car parking great value at £5 for 24 hours. The room needed updating and refreshing. Difficult to fill the kettle, due to the tap position. The kettle had water in, from the previous guests. We paid extra for breakfast, which wasn't worth it. No fresh fruit only tinned in sugary syrup. No vegetarian choices, ended up with beans on toast, which was luke warm. Would stay again, as we have family in Buxton, but wouldn't pay extra for breakfast, not worth it.
