We stay here often. Our only problem was we were in an executive room which had a king bed which we thought was going to be great but the bed was so hard and uncomfortable we had a very bad sleep. We usually find the beds we’ve had before fine

The lady on reception was lovely and accommodating but the place itself was dark, and outdated. For what I paid I was disappointed with the room we got as it didn’t look like the picture. I left my phone charger there and contacted staff, they said they would send it back at my expense to which it hasn’t arrived. It’s been 3 weeks.

The Buckingham International has a great room, clean and tidy. Location is amazing on Nepean Highway. Close to many attractions and close to the city. My only note was about sound/noise isolation in the room. I could hear water flushing and running from the room above. Service and staff were fantastic and always available for help.

Thought we had booked a 3 bedroom apartment but was a house separate to the motel complex. Not fatal but would like to have known prior to arrival. Kitchen great but lacking in kitchen utensils, cups, glasses, plates, saucepans. House was cold and had to run the split system heating, an oil heater and fan constantly to keep the house warm. Otherwise was a very enjoyable stay and staff were great and accommodating. Would definitely stay again but on the motel site.

Clean and tidy. Minimal seating space in the living part of the apartment. Just felt ‘tired’ here and there (e.g., reception). Problem with double booking on arrival. Staff didn’t seem too keen to help. As I’d booked vie Expedia - it was up to me!
