My stay at the Milestone Hotel was nothing short of really good, with its old world charm and elegant decor that made it feel luxurious. The indoor pool was a lovely retreat, and the convenient location across from Kensington Palace allowed for easy exploration. However, I did find some hiccups with the room amenities, such as having to request tea and coffee facilities, which wasn't ideal.
