I don't know how other tourists enjoyed staying there, I was actually shocked. If you are offered a single room on the first floor, you will find yourself in a closet with a small window facing the rear yard, so the boxroom will be dark and if you open the curtains everyone could see what you do.

Let me tell you the one good thing about the Milner Hotel, it is well located. With that out of the way, I'm sorry to say the rest is just downhill. A nasty cramped old building which they have tried to maintain but the old saying about a silk purse from a sow's ear rings true. Asked on the second... More

The hotel is located near Boston common, so you can walk everywhere within minutes. The staff were friendly and very helpful and the breakfast was better than expected (continental usual means coffee and cereals). The room was indeed small but you usually don't spend a lot of time there anyway as you're out all day to do sightseeing and stuff,... More

We traveled from Maine to Boston to attend the Boston Strong concert. Every Hotel in the area had raised the normal price by about $100.00 or more, so I was surprised to find the Milner Hotel to be quite affordable. The building is old, which is part of the charm. The room we were in had 2 full size beds,... More

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
