We stayed at the 'cottage' part of the hotel (converted garage at the back of the main building) which was perfectly fine once we found it - we checked in after the reception closed and the directions were not 100% clear. We phoned the night guard who was very helpful. The room was comfortable and clean enough, apart from some random cardboard left in the bin. The shower was not particularly intuitive but perfectly fine once we got it to work. There was a complicated- looking and clearly broken contraption to operate the windows. We managed to close them by hand. Quite happy with the hotel in general, it was fine for a one night stay.

Superb staff, central location, just too small.
The staff here are absolutely wonderful. The young man on reception was incredibly helpful , professional and courteous. However, the room was much smaller than we expected with barely space to move around and a larger than average person would struggle to use the shower. Tea, coffee, milk etc was plentiful and much appreciated, thank you. Spotlessly clean and centrally located, it was OK for someone for one night but I'm not sure I could stay longer

Weekend away
Stay was ok. Comfy bed and tea and coffee in room. View of top of Spinnaker tower from room . En-suite was tiny. Basin not big enough to fill kettle so had go use the cups. Toilet seat loose and funny smell in there. If you were a larger person you would never have fitted in there. Fairly quiet as tucked away out the back until Monday morning got woken up by very late voices at 5:40 in the morning. Not sure if it was the cleaning staff or other guests.

The room was in a small house called the cottage which was nice with all the facilities we needed. The lady who checked us in was friendly and helpful. The only downside was that we were near the front door, so could hear people coming in out during the evening. It's worth getting there earlier in the day if possibe as it is on street parking with a permit provided at check-in, and there we no spaces left closer than the other end of the street.

The ‘Duke of Buckingham’
Ok Accomodation. Clean and comfortable. Not en suite. One Bathroom for few rooms. The ‘Duke of Buckingham’ name is deceiving. The Pub no longer exists.! It’s a Pizzeria now. Side door to the rooms. So misleading if you thought you’d get a pint/food/breakfast available.

Great location and clean hotel. We stayed in the ground floor room of the cottage and unfortunately we're kept awake by every movement of the people above. Very creaky old building.
