Stayed at the Milner for 3 nights in October 2011. We accidentally planned our trip for the same weekend as the Charles River regatta, and the prices for every hotel were really high. I found the Milner by chance, and they had an open room at a reasonable rate. The location is great - a few blocks south of Boston... More

Old hotel in the theater district close to great restaurants. Small rooms with huge bathrooms. In dire need of privacy and soundproof windows. Great location but noisy. Great continental breakfast. Staff was great and attentive. More

Ok so booked a single room and it was compact to say the least. The room also faced the busy Charles Street so noise was a factor especially early in the mornings. The bed was up against the window and pretty blooming cold. There is a heater but couldn't sleep with it switched on because of the noise. The staff... More

Situated in the center of the city near Boston Common and the Freedom Trail. it's good for holiday with your friends, girlfriend or with family. It's very confortable (king bed, internet wired, frigo, clear room), the size of room is normal (no small, not very big), the staff is very nice, good breakfast. More

About five years ago I was on a round the world trip and stayed here for the Boston leg. When looking at hotels this time I looked all over Boston. But this was the cheapest I could find. Sure it's not the best hotel but let me tell you that it is good value for money. Being single is sometimes... More

Despite it's central location, the Milner Hotel was a huge disappointment. Our room was so heavily sprayed with air freshener that it made breathing uncomfortable. Had no choice but to keep window open 24 hours a day X 4 (revealing view of brick wall/fire escape). Open window made sleeping difficult because of non-stop street noise. And about that room .......

The Milner sits in a perfect spot in central Boston, theatres are around the corner, shops and attractions all just a few mins walk away - it's hard to resist the draw, especially when you see some of the rates they offer. It is however nothing fancy, it's old and tired, but breakfast is free, wifi free in the lobby,... More

Thank you for your review and I am sorry you feel guest must lower their expectations. We our a European style/Boutique Hotel built in 1879. We have tried to keep the old world charm of the property. Some people do not like our color or furniture choices due to their more traditional and classic style which may appear as tired... More

The Milner Hotel has the feel of a European hotel in a big city: small lobby, small elevator, kind of small rooms, high-rise hotel. We enjoyed a very comfortable room and a quiet night there. It is right in the theater district and within easy walking distance of the Boston Common which also means easy walking to some of the... More
