Milner Hotel

Charming hotel in the heart of Boston

Loved the charm of an older building and the location was great! Also, the staff were very friendly & helpful. Great value!

Needs updating, but great location.

Location is great! The hotel is clean, but desperately needs updating. The room was small, but we expected that, and the hotel is an old one which does give it charm. Overall, we loved the location and the continental breakfast offered was nice, but the hotel does need updating.

great location

if you are in boston to explore the city this is a great location. we walked EVERYWHERE. yes the room is tiny, but it has character and includes everything you need, if you just need a bed and a place to decompress before another adventure. The beds were not small like other reviews said. They advertised a full sized bed, i got a full sized bed that was clean and pretty comfy. the bfast in the morning is average and is open til 1030 which i liked as a late gogetter. Not sketchy, not dirty, not super frilly with pools and gyms, just a cool place in a great location.

Good hotel for the price

I stayed here for only one night. The front staff was really nice and cared about taking care of my needs. They also have a free complimentary breakfast! The room itself was really good, it was clean and proper. They have anything you'll need if you're planning to be there for a night or a few nights. If you're ok with staying in a bit a smaller room but fully furnished and actually like nice people being around you, stay here.

Best Price for the location!!

The hotel is a block and half from Boston Common and The Public Garden and a half a block from the subway. You are located in the heart of the theater district and down the street from Beacon Hill. The rooms are very small. You really don't stay in the room only to sleep anyway so who cares!! Breakfast is OK. Fresh fruit, muffins and hot waffles to eat. Hot coffee, tea and juice to drink. A nice way to start the morning. I would stay here again.

Small room.

The room was clean but very,very small. It is not big enough for two people. Staff was friendly.

Small, but clean

After reading some of the reviews, we were fearful of arriving and having to book somewhere else. Luckily, The Milner was clean and easy to get to. The room is small, but we hardly spent any time in it. The bathroom was clean and the view was nice. The trucks outside that passed by woke my up; however, my wife didn't hear a thing. Also, some other people we know stayed at a fancy hotel and could hear street noise 9 floors up (we were on the 5th floor). The Milner is very old and it looks old, but has lots of character. It was very pricy for what it is, but I would recommend it to those who aren't going to spend lots of time in their room. We had a great time in Boston even though New Englanders aren't the friendliest people.

Old world charm but at the expense of comfort.

My wife and I stayed one evening at the Milner. It was on our last night in Boston. The hotel has a certain charm and character to it. It feels very old world and you can imagine any number of exciting things having taken place there. However, the charm quickly gives way to the realization that the hotel is in need of some things. While our room was clean and a very nice note was left on our bed encouraging us to enjoy our stay, the room had a musty smell and was extremely small. The hotel is in need of some restoration as the original materials seem to be feeling their age. The desk receptionist(s) was pleasant and eager to answer any questions we had. There is an elevator and if you have to take luggage past the first floor I recommend you make use of it. The elevator is very small and the door is an older style that only opens half the width of the elevator making a tight fit with large luggage. The stairs are much to narrow to practically take any heavy item past the first flight. Again, a charming hotel that could be even better with some restoration.

Old Hotel

Hotel is in need of restoration, windows face shaftways, BUT it was clean, comfortable, centrally located, people were very nice, continental breakfast was available. It was pretty expensive but I heard that's to be expected in Boston.

Wonderful staff

Staff was amazingly friendly and helpful- very chatty and personable. Michael's waffles in the morning were fantastic- very positive experience at the Milner.

Location is Perfect

The rooms at the Milner Hotel are a bit small, but they are very clean. The staff was incredibly gracious and extremely helpful. Crystal, at the front desk was a joy and made our stay that much more pleasant. She provided directions and site seeing recommendations even outside of the Boston area. We also enjoyed the complimentary daily breakfast that was served. The location in itself is worth the stay at Milner. It is within walking distance to most everything in the city. It is close to restaurants, shopping, Boston Commons and, Fenway Park. Very minimal need, if at all for a rental car and or need for a cab, except to and from the airport. Milner will definitely be a hotel we will stay again.

SHABBY CHIC

MAYBE NICE ONCE. TINY LITTLE CLOSET OF A ROOM BUT CLEAN. IT SERVED ITS PURPOSE.
