The main reason I chose this hotel was for the location, very near Boston Commons and the Hop On Hop Off Pick Up point. We got a room with two double beds (as there were 3 of us) . However room was indeed very small to comfortably moved around. Other than that, the room provided the necessary amenities in any... More

I was concerned from reading some of the reviews but there was no need for concern because this hotel was quite sufficient and satisfactory. The room was small but it met my needs and it was very cozy. The breakfast was more than adequate and the location and relative price were superb. The staff was helpful and accomodating.

This is my second review of Milner. I submitted my first and I don't think it passed muster because it was seriously critical. So, bare in mind that what I wrote previously was much worse. My daughter is going to Emerson and having never been to Boston I had no idea what to expect so figured it would be best... More

The comments on trip advisor did not make totally confident about staying here. But I booked and I dont regret. It has the best price in town. It is a nice hotel - old, but quite nice - in a central location, full of theatres, bars, restaurants in a walking short distance. Besides it is very close to the Boston... More

Started out my USA trip 2012 by staying at Milners Hotel in Boston. Chose it because of the walking distance to Boston Common and the inner city. Room was small but enough for just sleeping. Clean and OK. Never took the breakfast

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I can not say it enough--DO NOT STAY HERE!! Everybody states that the rooms are small and old but they don't tell you that they are DIRTY. I was extremely upset with the hotel and staff, as were the people I was with. The breakfast was mediocre at best and the sitting area was so small... More

My wife and I stayed here for 6 days in October and found that the majority of the reviews were pretty accurate.The reception is both friendly and helpful. This comensates in large measure for the small bedrooms which do seem to be in need of a make-over. The term boutique when applied to hotel like this to us implies faded... More

Simple and elegant ancient architecture and interior design, takes the mind towards a rich era of the “Bostonese” community. Excellent location, professional and friendly staff, and a healthy breakfast to kick-off the day before indulge towards the various beautiful sites Boston offers its residents and guests.
