10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

Service is exemplary

The service at the hotel is exemplary. They take very good care of you and of the hotel itself. Everything is spotlessly clean. The decor, however, might not be for everyone. It has changed quite a bit since our last visit. The location is excellent, right across the street from Kensington Park and well served by transit.

Perfect!

Maybe the best experience and service found in any hotel in my many travels. Thank you to the entire Milestone team (especially the bartenders!)

Elegant and charming hotel in Kensington

We splurged to stay at this hotel for our family trip to London, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and our rooms were comfortable and luxurious. It's a 6-minute walk to the nearest tube stop, or less for the bus. The helpful doorman will call a cab for you if you prefer.

A True 5 Star Hotel

My sister and I stayed at The Milestone Hotel for 1 night and it was amazing. From arrival and check-in to checking out, we had zero complaints. The hotel staff are welcoming, friendly and very accommodating. The decor is tasteful and the room we stayed in was beautiful. I would definitely stay here again and for longer next time. If you’re looking for true luxury, comfort and impeccable 5 star service, then I would highly recommend booking this hotel.

Dead red roses - a sorry sight and tale!

Having previously stayed at The Milestone, I was expecting the same level as previous experiences. Sadly, this was not the case. Walking into reception to see two huge displays of dead red roses, summed up our experiences really. The staff were all helpful and polite but over all, a very poor experience. We asked for a twin room, it was not twin but a zip link bed unzipped, so may as well not have bothered? The first night/next morning we had no cold water, the hot water was at thermo nuclear level hot, so we were unable to take a shower/bath. This however was quite quickly sorted, but begs the question, why wasn’t it checked beforehand, as they obviously knew there was an issue to sort it so quickly? The second morning, our friends were woken twice, at 6:00am and 6:30am, by early morning calls from reception. Again, this was dealt with, but shouldn’t have happened. On our last morning, breakfast was a disaster. We ordered, waiting 20 minutes, then everything arrived together - fruit; toast;porridge and full English breakfast! Obviously we sent back the hot items, which were then returned to us later. When I say returned, exactly the same breakfasts were brought out, cold and solid, so we sent them back again. Once again dealt with but all in all, not the kind of things you would expect from a 5* hotel? Our bills were also incorrect at check out, and three tries later, we’re corrected. The hotel, like the dead roses in reception, has seen better days!

10/10 Exceptional

A very nice hotel next to a park.

A hotel in a very good location. Small scale means that the guest is paid attention. As it is England it is not perfection but that is compensated by the staff really making an effort and correcting the small detours.

Service was exceptional and location is excellent. My only negative is that the size of the bed in the queen rooms is too small...
