Premier Inn Buxton

In most respects, what one would expect of a Premier Inn. However, in some ways it fell short of my expectations. There was an automated parcel drop and collection machine next to the main door that emitted a constant alarm noise. No-one seemed to be in a hurry to silence it. Part of the machine was used as a place for smokers to stub out cigarettes, displaying a huge pile of disgusting, wet, smelly cigarette ends, probably several days if not weeks of build-up, right next to the hotel's main door. Apparently it's no-one's job to clean it. A long loop of electrical cable emerging from the hotel lay on the footpath between the main door and the pavement. Major trip hazard, especially in the dark. No-one seemed interested in fixing it. Overall, this gave me a strong impression that hotel staff had a 'not my job' attitude. Additionally, be careful where you park your car. The hotel's car park is a busy pedestrian thoroughfare for people who, for some reason, prefer to squeeze between cars rather than take a slightly longer route around them. Park your car in the wrong place and you can expect it to be scratched and dented by pedestrians carrying bags and dragging trolleys.

We’ve stayed at this Premier inn many times over the past 10 years. It’s always clean and super comfy with the most friendly, obliging staff you’d ever want to meet. Bertha’s breakfasts are epic - cooked fresh with real ingredients (no frozen/tinned mushrooms here). Buxton town centre nearby. Excellent value for money. It’s a credit to the Premier Inn brand. We’ve already got our next stay booked.

Lovely staff in a great hotel and setting. We visit often, the place is as expected from a premier inn. Clean, tidy and well presented. Staff are a credit to Buxton Premier Inn from Belinda in the kitchen to Charlotte, Chloe, Paul, Molly and the many others that assist us and always greet us with smiles, a warm welcome and always engage with the little ones. 5 star from us.
