Firstly, let me say the location is fantastic - if you love being situated on a large open park in the middle of London, an easy cab / tube ride from anywhere interesting.

The service at the hotel is a little oppresive, so for most people it could be regarded as highly favourable. The building and decor are tired, or quaint, depending on one's perespective. Our room was tiny, to be polite, stuffed with unnesessary furniture in decor that boarded on kitch. There was a definite smell of sewage everytime we entered our, overly-compact, room. You'd attribute this to the 'quaintness', read old-world-ness, of the hotel.

For the price I would have to say pay marginally more and stay at a modern, more up-market, establishment in Park Lane.

Not impressed.

While most of the reviews of the Milestone have been excellent, I beg to differ. I found the hotel to be stuffy, old fashioned and appropriate only for first time travelers to the UK.

I much prefer the Baglioni a few doors down (fully booked this timer).

The rooms had too much furniture and tschokes all over the place. The bar was full of blue haired laddies. The service stifiling.

The resistance pool was OK and the location is good. A great place to bring Aunt Edna for her first trip to the UK.

We loved staying at the Milestone Hotel.. very English and the staff is very helpful. Our room was small but very elegant and extremely clean. We had a beautiful view of Hyde Park... which is also the side where the street is, but surprisedly it was quiet. Actually, I specifically noticed things in the hotel, and everything is well taken care of and clean.

My daughter and I had breakfast in our room every morning, the food was good but somewhat expensive. Pretty much the food in London was expensive. We ate dinner in the restaurant one evening, it was good and the service was good too.

I would definitely recommend this hotel, good location... great staff and beautiful rooms... we will stay here again.

We have stayed at 5 star hotels all over the world and for service this was one of the best. The staff could not do enough for you. Gavin concierge was excellent.Complimentary tea when we arrived at 11.30 pm and impeccable service throughout our stay. Our only gripe was that our room (311) was facing the road and there was some traffic noise (some sort of intererior glazing would fix) also there was a creaking floorboard in the room above that the guest kept walking over until 1 am that was annoying. All in all if you want a class hotel that lives up to its status then this is it.
