Very poor facilities, not worth the money. The bathroom ceiling was even leaking. I told the reception, and she just replied would get someone to take a look. No one come. If you have other choice, don't choose this one.

Disliked: Amenities
The room that was shown as available was not a correct representation of the room and left a lot to be desired in terms of accessibility. The Hotel did ring late morning to advise step stairs. However we had already committed ourselves to travel and this was the last room available.The furnishings were stained in room and bar area to the extent that you didn’t want to sit on them. The food shown on website was not a true reflection of that available having looked at both bar menu and restaurant menu.There was no phone in room and nothing to show what to do in event of a fire.The staff however were very pleasant and the breakfast room and food were good.If the rest of the premises were decorated to the same standard we would have returned but not as it is.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Disappointed...

The biggest downfall was the cleanliness and the overall impression was tatty. In the room there was dust everywhere. The shelf on the bedside cabinet was thick with dust. Dust on the TV edges. The edges along the mirror stand were thick with dust. The net curtains were dirty and ripped. There was no toilet brush, no plastic beakers in the bathroom and the toilet bowl was stained. On the second day all the breakfast food was cold, we dined at 9AM. Two juice jugs were empty, there weren't any bottles of water and hardly any glasses. There was no beer in the bar, just lager. Guinness wasn't on draft, even though there was a hand pull, it was served in tins.

Great location and friendly staff, but the building needs serious updates. The hotel is in an excellent location, the breakfast was good, everything was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, the building itself is very dated and in desperate need of renovation. It feels quite run-down and worn out, which detracts from the overall experience.

Overpriced and in need of refurbishment

It is a very old building in need of a complete renovation. We paid £160 a night which is not what you would expect from a property in these conditions. It does not have parking (you need to pay extra for street parking) and they charge additional £20 if you have a pet. Again double what others do. A bit of a rip off.

It’s possibly the most tired property I’ve ever stayed at. The pigeons on my windowsill started coo-ing at 3.30am and didn’t stop. No prospect of sleep. It’s awful.

Really poor stay. Second-level room was more like a basement and had as near to no fresh air possible. Bathroom had stains on the walls, cobwebs in corners, and dust caked on the towel rack. Included breakfast was buffet-style and nothing to write about. Service was overall sub-par, bordering on negligent. Buxton itself is lovely but we’ll steer clear of the Old Hall next time we’re here.

Lovely old hotel

Had a lovely stay. Yes, some of the decor looks tired but it is a very old hotel with lots of character. I booked 3 rooms and we had the smallest bed, but it was very comfortable. We had a drink in the "Whine bar" which is small and busy in the evening and also breakfast, which was one of the nicest, self serve, breakfasts I've ever had. All the staff were attentive and friendly but the lady on reception and the lady on at breakfast, were especially lovely. Just one thing to remember, if you use the lift, please shut the metal gate and door when you get out as it cannot be called/used from another floor, if not.
