Lovely two nights day.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

I had a wonderful although short, two nights stay at the milestone in late August prior to my embarking on a cruise from Southampton. I arrived at the hotel early and was greeted by incredibly friendly people while my room was being prepared. I had a wonderful breakfast. I was given what I would call a double upgrade from a regular Kyng room to a two room Junior suite The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I had ever had. It was great having a coffee maker that made Nespresso coffee not just instant that you get it most hotels. When I was going to walk to a pub down the street the friendly door staff indicated that if I walked a little bit further on the side street behind there was a great and much better. Local pub called the builders arms. This pub was really great very authentic and I would say was there for 200 years. I had one of the best fish and chips meals that I had ever had in the service was friendly. I would definitely return to The Milestone Hotel and Residences. Being in the Kensington neighborhood, there are lots of shops in the hotels directly across from Kensington Park so it’s a great walkable neighborhood.

The Milestone is a wonderful place to stay in London. The service and staff are excellent. We had breakfast each day and it was good. We also highly recommend their high tea.

A must stay for a hotel snob

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

One of the most stunning, intentionally appointed, captivating hotels I have stayed in. Thoughtful staff, incredible location, delicious food, and the best hotel bar in the world. Most of London's best neighborhoods within walking distance, in a great area with quick access to cabs (which the wonderful doorman will hail on your behalf) and a tube station right around the corner. The rooms are all unique, and I am a total interior design snob so I was obsessed. The staff let thoughtful turndown service treats, everything was immaculate, and very spacious.

I traveled to London and stayed at The Milestone Hotel this summer. It was a wonderful experience. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. The service was excellent along with the accommodations. I highly recommend it and look forward to staying again in the future!

We stayed at the fabulous Milestone Hotel in London, opposite Kensington Palace. The service and attention to detail of everyone from the manager to our own personal butler was a most truly unforgettable experience. Staff we had never met before even knew our names at all times. Very friendly and professional.

My husband and I have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world. If there was a way to give The Milestone more than 5 stars - I would give them 15 stars. It is quite possibly the best hotel I have ever stayed in London or anywhere else. Our room was large and beautiful, with amenities I have never seen anywhere else, like a silver case with printed cards with my name and all the hotel information to give out while I was staying at the Milestone. Every little thing that we might need was thought of. If you read the website - it sounds too good to be true, but it is even better than described.

The staff was perfect. We felt like honored members of a very exclusive club. I had filled out an email questionnaire and they got everything right. When we first walked into the bar, the barman said, "Good evening." He knew our names and then he reached for a bottle of my husband's favorite rum. We will never stay anywhere else in London.
