Brilliant stay at the Villiers Hotel. We received a room upgrade and found ourselves staying in a Duplex Suite.
The hotel was spotlessly clean, staff all kind and caring and very well trained.
Hotel room was spotlessly clean, spacious and very well heated during the cold spell we were experiencing.
The hotel was very well maintained and presented quite a quirky and interesting persona. Breakfasts were promptly presented with an excellent range of cooked choices.
Always a free parking space available during our stay in the covered courtyard.
Will certainly return again.

After we had changed rooms, we were pleased with the new one but it was it irritating not to be warned that the overhead shower was not working in our original room. Dinners were excellent and service very good indeed. The breakfasts need attention: the bread machine only toasted on one side or, if sent through again to do the other side, came out as a burnt offering. The procedure for breakfasts seems to favour staff rather than guests. It would be pleasant to have milk, jams etc on the tables and for coffee or tea delivered to the table. I must add that we did not have cooked breakfasts but they looked very good. I make these remarks in, hopefully, a useful manner rather than outright criticism.

This is the second stay. Was placed in far rooms past courtyard. The bed was hard and pillows so flat. There was no shampoo or conditioner, bottles empty and asked about refilling -bought new from Boots. They had taken out mini fridge, as it showed they was one! no A/C!! It was so hot. No USB plugs, had to borrow, then buy one.
2019 we were above restaurant, so nice and had mini fridge, A/C and a fan and bed was nice. So thought going back would be nice with sister staying there too, and they were above restaurant. Just bad luck this time.

Got to my suite late. Bath panel off and propped to the side blocking bathroom door. Just went to bed. Next morning no hot water. Obviously a plumbing repair had not been completed but they let the room to me anyway. Obviously if I’d been there earlier in the afternoon/evening I’d have noticed and demanded a room change, but they really should not have allowed the room to be used.

Soulless….needs rethinking !

Nice place, however lacks service . Seems to be under staffed I’ve almost been knocked over twice with staff running between areas ( it’s very quiet here too )
Breakfast dinghies muffin a bit tasteless no greenery as mentioned. Coffee machine not on, coffee jug empty . Manager taking personal calls whilst I’m having breakfast .. not great and not heated up for business visits who require a speedy breakfast .
Rooms are designed nicely but my room was a bit tatty and grubby in the bathroom .
When I checked in late ( after 9pm) I wasn’t advised that the restaurant was still open , however as a veggie there probably would not be much option for a veggie in a steak house , so I collected a take away .. I wasn’t permitted to eat in the non restaurant area of the hotel ! Never had this before and I have travelled the UK ALOT !
It comes across as pretentious but they do not deliver the service that they think they do and it’s certain not a friendly environment … it’ feels very stressed with staff running around the very quiet hotel …the reception isn’t manned and the phone system doesn’t seem fo work .. I won’t be returning .

Great price for one night (near Stowe). Reception staff welcoming and warned me about tight parking in courtyard ( you drive through an archway which is a tight turn but if take it slow is no issue. We stayed in room 102 which was a large double. Very clean, had 2 hairdryers, iron board, tea/coffee etc. need to remember this is a 500 year old building so lots of character and some creaky floors. If you are type of guest who wants no noise when walking around go elsewhere! Loads of storage in room. Bathroom has shower over bath ( my only desire would be to have had a shower cubicle rather than bath but that’s personal choice). Food offerings plentiful and very reasonable prices. Cooked to order. Very attentive and cheerful staff in bar/ restaurant. Good location in Buckingham with a small fruit/veg market and separate flea market in the Saturday. Would stay again if in the area

The hotel staff were super friendly, the hotel itself was well located and only 2 mins walk from Buckingham centre. We arrived late but still found it easy to park.
My only suggestion for improvement was the bed - we both had a very uncomfortable nights sleep and woke full of aches as the mattress was so unforgiving. I’d put sleep quality above everything else so this would probably deter me from returning which is a shame as everything else was great

After being recommended this hotel and being close to family we were visiting we had high hopes. Unfortunately we were disappointed from check in. We did not receive the same courtesy as the couple in front of us checking in, the room itself was spacious enough but there was no toilet roll in bathroom ( which we had to ask staff for on 2 separate occasions as it was not replaced first time) and the kettle was truly broken ( these should have been picked up on cleaning the room) the lack of fridge and ridiculously small tv was also disappointing as I am gluten free and use only oat milk. Im the morning after an uncomfortably warm night we went to breakfast where I asked if there were gluten free options and was told “ we have loads of options” upon enquiring it turns out there is only the option of gluten free bread white or seeded. No cereal options, no pastry options, the fruit salad bowl would serve maybe 4 people at a time so that too was empty.
Generally we would say the staff all seemed friendly enough until we started to speak then we felt shunned as we did not seem to be receiving the same treatment as the other guest and our only difference was our Scottish accent. I regret I did not ask the servers name for breakfast on Saturday morning as she was the most friendly and efficient member of staff I’d say you have. We will visit Buckingham again as our family is there but we shall not stay in the Villiers again. An average hotel with below average service.

Good start, dreadful end

Was meant to be a relaxing staycation. It was fairly relaxing and we checked out at reception straight after breakfast and confirmed we’d enjoyed our stay but when we got home I had a couple of missed calls from hotel. (I actually assumed I’d left something behind.) When I rang back the receptionist told me 2 coffees had been ordered at breakfast and charged to my room. I explained it wasn’t us and that we’d prepaid for full breakfast and had our coffee with our breakfast so definitely didn’t order those coffees. Apparently nobody signed for the coffee and it was noted as our room number. At this point after explaining we’d prepaid full breakfast and had coffee included with this and didn’t need coffee in our room as we checked straight out I thought this would be accepted but no. She will discuss with management and get back to me. Again i emphasised that it definitely was not us who ordered coffee and as they didn’t have my signature I was pretty angry about being accused of not paying for coffee when I had coffee included in my full breakfast and also it should have been put to me when I checked out at reception. We left it that she would check cctv and discuss with management which will solve her problem but my stress free night costing £120 has turned into a headache.

One room then had a shower leak so we needed to move again.
The waste bin on one room had not been emptied from a previous guest and the shelves in the bathroom were full of dust.

Few wee niggly things let it down.....slighlty

Would have been a higher rating but for a couple on niggly things. Firstly if you want sweeteners with tea and coffee take your own. They don't have them. The breakfast is sparse, half a mushroom is a bit mean and the continental is cereal, bread, a few pastries and some yoghurt and some chpped fruit. No croissants, pain au chocolate, meat, cheese or even an apple, an irange or a banana.
The most bizzare thing is that despite the bar and restaurant being immediately adjacent to each other you cannot get anything off the restaurant in the bar. The bar menu has no desserts thereon, so eat in the bar and you are not allowed a dessert. Strange in the extreme. Otherwise this is a really nice hotel with a lot of character with pleasant, welcoming staff. Despite my moans I would stay again without hesitation.

This is extremely well situated for central Buckingham, Stowe, nearby Silverstone (ditto) and nearby festivals at Blackpit. It is a character hotel with friendly staff; the Laura Ashley Tea Room is a pensioner's delight. Mature travellers will adore it. It is my second stay and won't be my last. The breakfast was superb.
