We really liked this hotel. The rooms are quite big. If you are staying for a while, the kitchenette could be helpful. The staff were friendly and answered our questions. The location is nice because you can walk down to Soho, Covent Garden, and Trafalgar in about 15 mins or so. If I stayed in London again, I think I... more

We booked the Buckingham through lastminute.com after much internet searching. We arrived and were told that we had been "allocated" a room that was actually in the Clarendon hotel next door. We did not complain at the time as we were tired and were assured that the room was of similar standard. After our stay we discovered that in fact... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in early July. The location is its best attribute. Very cute, quiet, townhouse, street, but very central. Less than one block from Russell Square with lots of stores and restaurants. 5-10 minute walk to Covent Garden and the Strand. Around the corner from the British Museum. We had a room on the... more

My room was huge and clean. It was kinda old school decorations but that may just be classic English decor (no offense!). The room was updated and very nice. I just loved how big it was. Not too many TV channels but no big deal. I can't remember if there was wifi bc I didn't have a laptop but internet... more

Stayed for midweek break with wife and 2 children. Excellent family room, 2 double beds plus bed settee which was not required for sleeping. Brilliant location for visiting theatres which we came for. On first day small dining room was full but we were relocated to sister hotel across the street for breakfast and no problems. Bathroom could be a... more

I stayed in this hotel for three nights while my son was in a local hospital. For the quality of the accomodation, I thought that this hotel was excellent value. During the same week we stayed in another nearby hotel which was part of an international hotel chain. The price was virtually the same, but the room at the Buckingham... more

We booked a family vacation in October. Had to change dates to November. We called the hotel and cancelled our room months in advance. They charged our credit card anyway for one night and fought us on the charge. We finally paid it but my recommedation is to AVOID The Buckingham and the Grange hotel chain at ALL costs. We... more

Stayed here for one night in Dec as we were attending a wedding in central London. Hotel was in a great location, a stones throw from British Museum and about 10 minutes walk to Covent Garden. The road its in is quite and there is an underground carpark at the end of the road in bloomsbury square, parking is pricey... more

This place exceeded my expectations which I admit were already quite high after seeing the pictures on their website. The rooms were wonderfully large, light and airy and really well appointed. Having a sink, microwave and fridge in the room, discretely hidden away is a real bonus. The bathroom was of a good size too and really well laid out,... more
