From the coffin like lift to the black mould in the bathroom to say our stay was entertaining is an understatement. We had the dubious pleasure of meeting the renowned and menacing owner whose name should have been Igor. The only redeeming features were the friendly staff and good food, however after our stay we drove past many far more... More

Stayed in this hotel for two nights last week for a short walking holiday in the Peak District. The hotel is a bit shabby in parts and in need of some TLC but the staff were very friendly, the hotel was clean, it's in a good location close to local bars and restaurants, it has car parking, the hotel bar...

Stayed at the Buckingham several times now while on business. First time got a suite type room on front of hotel. The bathroom was huge! The hotel seems to have a fixation with the theatre, so every available space is covered with theatre posters, even in the lift to the point that the first time you use it, the buttons... More

I last posted a review of this hotel iin 2009 and vowed not to stay there again. However, against my better judgment, my husband, brother and sister-in-law stayed for two nights over the May Bank Holiday 2013. The hotel is in desperate need of help. I don't just mean the outdated, oldfashioned decor either. Our room was clean, but we... More

Nice substantial hotel in a super position - overlooks the Pavilion - but very easy and quick access to A6 and other main roads. We enjoyed the theatrical decor, it was really good fun trying to put names to all the faces - we were in a room full of pics of Sandra Bullock - the first and only time... More

Booked a twin room at the Buckingham hotel Buxton over the phone to attend a function in town. Price agreed was £35 per person..£70 total, so you'd think..! Confirmed booking with a debit card at the time. so as far as I knew the booking was dealt with. A confirmation arrived by email, though as someone who doesn't regularly access... More

This is a strange hotel, with very strange decor. On the plus side it is well positioned within easy walking distance of the town and it sells nice ale in the bar. The whole hotel is in desperate need of refurbishment and felt quite grubby. The bathroom appeared clean, but the furniture is very old and grubby and the bedding... More

We stayed here for 3 nights to visit the Buxton opera, Chatsworth, the peak district and its caves. Great location, plentiful food in the evenings from the bar and friendly staff at all times. All over the hotel were theatrical themes (posters, portraits of actors, theatrical lighting), enhancing the experience. We will return.

Having stayed in this hotel before, we knew that the position is excellent and there is free parking. Our room was spacious and clean, as was the bathroom. Everything worked and we were very grateful for the functioning thermostatic valve on the radiator, otherwise the room would have been too hot. Very comfortable bed but pillows a bit unforgiving. Glad... More

Stayed 2 nights and was left very disappointed. Had room number 8 which was in need of complete decoration and modernising. Didn't like the 12 photographs of Sean Connery on all walls just didn't feel right. Ripped bathroom flooring spotted. Couple of silverfish insects walking on floor in bathroom but the worse complaint was the noise... First night was not... More
