Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms that, despite being a bit dated, have great potential with some care and attention. The service was generally pleasant, with some room for improvement in terms of communication. Its superb location provides easy access to various amenities, but noise levels can be a drawback. The dining experience offered delicious meals on beautiful plates but fell short in some areas. Overall, it's a place with promise that could benefit from updates and more attention to detail.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with clean and comfortable rooms but the presence of cigarette smoke in the courtyard each morning. The service is marked by excellent hospitality but occasional lapses in cleanliness. The location is central and vibrant but can be noisy due to local activity. The dining options are reasonable but not outstanding, with some disappointment. Overall, a decent stay with both positives and negatives.
The hotel is right in the center of Buckingham, offering a convenient location. The rooms, although spacious, appear a bit tired and dated. The service is excellent, accommodating, and friendly. The dining experience, especially breakfast, lacks variety. Being centrally located brings some noise and space limitations.
This hotel had its charms, but some areas need improvement. The rooms were a bit dated and could use a deeper clean, however, the common areas were inviting with cozy seating options. The service was friendly and helpful, particularly Holly at the front desk, but breakfast was missed due to not booking in advance. The location was nice and comfortable, central to Buckingham, though lacking some amenities. Dining was limited but serviced by attentive staff. Overall, a convenient stay with room for enhancement.
