This is a beautiful hotel
Both in structure and maintenance. The housekeeping staff provided outstanding attention to the cleanliness and care of my room. Helpful staff who with sincere kindness and pleasure, made my stay delightful. An outstanding hotel in every way.
Gorgeous traditional hotel with amazing staff!! Our king sized room was outstanding! Savoir bed beyond comfortable. My tip: when leaving the hotel turn right(east) and explore .. turning left( west) is kind of sketchy.
This hotel has THE BEST staff! The best location and the most beautiful tea room.
Food is great. We had breakfast there every morning.
We definitely will go back every year.
Rooms are so quiet and beds are so comfortable
The decoration is so beautiful. There is a small gym with basic equipment to get a good workout.
Thank you !!
This was my second stay at the Milestone. It is a treasure. The staff are helpful, courteous, and friendly. The rooms are spacious and each has its own individuality. It’s also in a great location. Perfect for a nice walk and also close to transportation.
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish - stayed here 16 years ago and it’s just as good if not better…..

Liked: Cleanliness
Small rooms with low ceilings in a great location. The hotel lobby and staff are excellent and they accommodate me with early check in at 8:30 am! Hard to beat that level of flexibility!
Loved our time at Milestone. Excellent staff and rooms. We brought our 20-month old girl and felt right at home. Food and tea were great. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting London wanting to stay in an excellent location.
Nothing to not like about this hotel. Very classy, clean and beautiful. Great service too from the door till you check out. Really enjoyed staying there

Service was exceptional and location is excellent.
My only negative is that the size of the bed in the queen rooms is too small...
We loved our short stay and would have liked to have had more time to enjoy the bar etc. Our room was large and comfortable and every staff member we had contact with was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely stay again.
Amazing. This is a traditional hotel with immaculate, old skool service and attention to detail. The staff are courteous and polite and do everything to make you feel at home - if only it was! Great location right opposite the park and conveniently situated for transportation. 10 stars!
