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.

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.

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.

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.

Disappointing and expensive

Stayed at this hotel for many many years. Room so small and uncomfortable. Charged for breakfast but not provided. My long term connected this hotel seriously failed. Living in a building site. The most expensive and not value for money

World’s smallest rooms unless you were in Japan where you’d expect the rooms to be small AF. Free WiFi is only a bonus if the WiFi works. Most of the premises is undergoing renovation which is much needed. Wouldn’t recommend
