Portland Hotel

Came here over the weekend and had a good stay. Its situated in a great location, especially for walkers to get out and about into the rest of the peak district. The gentleman on reception was helpful and offered us a choice of breakfast and time slots to help both us and his team in the morning. The pros to the B&B were the price and good value for money. The beds were comfortable and we both slept well although I did have earplugs because of the thin walls and hearing the TV of next doors room. The breakfast was good and included in the price which is rare. Good WiFi too for planning routes the next day. There was also plenty of hot water for us both in the morning and soap is provided along with towels. The cons of the stay were the thin walls so could hear a lot of noises going on throughout the floor we were staying on. The shower needs a bit more power behind it as doesn't get you feeling warm warm before you get out. The breakfast could do with some beans or to are juice as was quite dry although still filling. And the room we was in did feel a little tired with carpet cuttings on the floor and a updo needed in the bathroom etc. But all in all for a night or two I'd recommend for sure. It's perfect and great value for what you get and I'd certainly come back for another weekend. However, for any longer I'd certainly look elsewhere just because of the cons in my review. Overall great for a night or two though.

The day before we where due to stay , the manager called me and explained that the room we normally have had but the hotel had no hot water or heating so he would have to move us , we didn’t mind , the room we were given he had put electric heaters in it had a power shower so all good , the breakfast the next morning was as always superb, local produce cooked really well , even with the change in rooms it’s still one of the best places to stay in buxton

Clean and tidy with helpful and organised staff.Within easy walking distance to the town centre with pubs and restaurants

Sadly no where to park when arrived at hotel, I couldn’t even see a designated disabled bay on site. Access from street next to hotel was not suitable for anyone with mobility issues whilst the street is not the fault of the hotel the area that crossed onto their land was rubble and the path narrow this when having mobility issues is not good. The room was ok although we were right next to a pedestrian crossing so could hear that going off during evening/night. No lift stairs only. Mould in bathroom, for shower you have to clamber over a high bath especially difficult when have mobility issues (and yes this was mentioned when booking)

Nice place, nice host - but our room was older I assume (room 18) dated, and the best was the least comfortable we’ve ever slept it - mattress about 1” thick. However the other rooms look nicer. Breakfast was very nice.

Good location within a couple of mins walk of town centre. Lovely staff, very helpful. Room and breakfast both good. Car park at front of property a little small and awkward, so parking on street to rear of property may be a good option.

The location is good, close to the pavilion gardens and a short walk from the town centre and some nice walks. The property itself was a little tired and run down but I understand they're in the process of some renovations. Our room was bright but very simple, no frills. It's a bit of a creaky building so there's a fair bit of noise from other guests moving around and the road outside can be loud when trucks are passing. The mattress wasn't the best and the shower/hot tap water pressure was terrible. The breakfast was included and was ok, nothing special but we never went hungry! However, the saving grace was the staff, they couldn't be more friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble - they even dried our clothes for us after we got back from getting caught in the rain and posted my coat to me when I left it behind in their boiler room. A very basic place to stay but with some of the best hotel staff I've encountered.

Bed very comfortable, liked everything except ensuite - shower excellent but nowhere to put damp towels. Hot tap in basin dripping (not noisy but a waste of hotel's money!)

All as expected. Very clean and staff pleasant and helpful.
