Hostels em Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom

Firstly the photo’s are misleading. The room was very disappointing. The bedding was clean but the bed was uncomfortable. The decor was tired to say the least. There were stains on the lampshade. The desk light was so dusty I could write my name in it. The bathroom needs up grading. It was very worn and it’s not great to be using a shower curtain in this day and age. To add to this we were presented with a Sunday menu but no roasts were available and no burgers. The staff were polite but looked as tired and drained as the environment. Returning to our springy protruding bed we were woken up by the fire alarm at 1:30am. We gathered in the car park but no one came to check on us, so we wondered back in. We were woken up again at 7:45am by the fire alarm again (appears they have to be super sensitive to keep every one safe!) so that saved some battery power on our mobiles. We were going to stay for breakfast but thought maybe not. The good points: I got a 50% refund. The shower was hot and did the job and the hair and body stuff  was surprisingly good. Overall it is such a shame. The hotel could be delightful, the coach house area could be quaint and the room was a good size. I personally would pop to the local charity shop and pick up some second hand lamps and get the stained ones into a skip. Lesson learnt I should have read the reviews and not trusted the photos. Overall disappointing and could not wait to leave.

Party central. Good location right in the centre of town. Beautiful old beamed inn. Good breakfast. We stayed Friday and Saturday and our room overlooked the high street. Customers sitting at tables on the street below our windows, which we couldn’t open because of the cigarette smoke drifting upwards. Friday night is live band night. Very good band, loud, finished dead on 11pm. Saturday, customers outside chatting and drinking until 2am Sunday morning.

We stayed here overnight on the way to London. The pub is located in a nice area and is attractive to look at from outside. The room we had ( no 4 ) was very small and claustrophobic. It didn’t help that the walls were painted grey. We found the bed too soft but that was a personal taste though the lack was lukewarm when served. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful but I doubt we would return for another stay.

Room 303 has no air flow. The window opens only so far and the blind is up by Velcro. Ask for a fan if you are there in the summer weather. Room 12 is lovely, massive bathroom and 2 sets of windows that open. Much cooler room. The building is lovely, the location is spot on and food is delicious - dinner and breakfast. Service for breakfast could have been a bit more attentive

We had a lovely stay, friendly and welcoming, clean and a lovely little location
