The staff understands in English and generally quite Friendly. Book a place much better in advance, so, for example, we could hardly have found a male room a few days before the trip, but this hotel can be found on other sites).

Price may vary on the number of hours spent at the hotel, usual package at Buckingham is 17 hours after the check-in'a (thus we stopped at 5:00 pm and had to leave up to 12 days).

But in fact, feeling as if asleep on the second shelf and the second-class carriage) with electronic alarm clock and cool linens and pillows. There is a huge minus - the incredible audible!
