In the title compound, C(11)H(23)NO(2), the piperidine ring has a chair conformation. The two hy-droxy H atoms are disordered over two positions with fixed occupancy ratios of 0.57:0.43 and 0.63:0.37. In the mol-ecule, there are two short N-H⋯O inter-actions. In the crystal, four symmetry-related mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a cage-like arrangement, centered about the point of inter-section of three twofold axes. These cages stack along the [100] direction.
