Overnight stay, cosy & quiet - great restaurant
Recently updated hotel room. Compact but comfortable and quiet for a 1 night stay. Tried in-house French restaurant which exceeded our expectations. Excellent food, wine and service.

Charged my Credit Card in Advance without Auth
Not happy at all with this hotel. They charged my card two days in advance of arriving despite the booking being “pay at property”. The accommodation was pretty average on top of that. Would not stay again.

The Buckingham
We stay here often because it’s always clean , comfortable and friendly. This time they were in a state of refurbishment and the Restaurants were closed but we found a lovely fish and chippery just around the corner. The service at the motel didn’t disappoint.

The hotel is set back from the busy highway so heard no traffic noise at all. Just over a 5 minute walk to the Highett station which has great train service to the city in just over 30 minutes. Woolworths and good local shops opposite the station. 15 minute walk to the Southland mall which has all the shops you could wish for. Room was a good size, stayed 5 nights and slept well throughout.

Rooms had recently been renovated and were clean and comfortable. I stayed in a room towards the back of the property and it was nice and quiet. Easy walk to Woolies and cafes/restaurants around the corner. Worth the money.

Was convenient to each our son in Moorabbin. Broken door handle - we couldn’t get in when we returned at 10.45 and it was lucky that reception was still open. Lock was not fixed the next day but the day after that.

Hotel under construction
This hotel is under construction. (as of January 2025, looks like long term). Office moved to a room temporarily. Construction noise begins at 7 am. It is right on a busy road. Train nearby. Staff are friendly but the hotel is older and obviously needs an ungrade. Restaurant is closed.
