Overall probably the best Hotel experience in London over 30 years of visiting regularly on business. This small British hotel is top notch. Literally right across the street from Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. Friendly staff, convenient shops and restaurants surround. The room was modernized with walk in closet and heated bathroom floors. Very spacious for London. Great onsite restaurant. Just great overall. It is a 5 star experience in every way!

Small rooms, fusty atmosphere, quite costly

My wife and I didn't enjoy our stay at the Milestone. While the staff was friendly and attentive, we found the room really very, very small - there wasn't really much space to put luggage racks out in the narrow gaps between the edges of the queen bed and the walls of the room. The decor was definitively old-school and fusty. I didn't much like the bathroom either, which - while actually pretty spacious - included one of those old-style showers that wasn't even enclosed, leaving water spraying around the bathroom. Now, some of this is my fault, in that the place was recommended to me by a friend. But I think that friend had gotten upgrades (whether he paid or got them for free I don't know) so his experience was far superior to mine. I paid something like $700/night, and I could have had a much more comfortable experience in a nearby place at half that price. Maybe all their customers are "money is no object" kind of people, I don't know. It pains me to say it owing to how friendly the staff was, but I will not be back.

We absolutely love this hotel. The staff are amazing, friendly and efficient and can’t do enough to help. We’ve stayed twice now and both times they exceeded our expectations. Breakfast is the best! Try the pancakes … delicious ❤️❤️. It genuinely feels like you are going home when you go back to this hotel, you get a personal service here you don’t see often these days and we didn’t even have to give our room number as the staff memorise your name and which room you are in!! We will definitely be staying here every time we visit London 👌👌❤️❤️

We had a wonderful stay at the Milestone. The hotel is historically charming, beautifully, well-appointed with nice amenities. It’s a five star hotel that gives you the feeling of luxury. The rooms are small by American standards -we did have to wrestle with the height of the shower. But, that’s part of the charm of a historic building. The highlight of our stay was the incredible staff. Steve is a true gem and went out of his way to be helpful and courteous. Overall, we found all Londoner’s to be extremely kind and friendly. We will definitely be back.
