Hotels Near The British Balloon Museum & Library in Milton Keynes

First time staying in Milton Keynes and wanted a hotel near the theatre due to seeing a show. The staff on arrival were friendly and helpful and answered any questions we had. There was an event on which a notice was put on the check in desk to make you aware due to noise. We were on the 4th floor and event on the 1st and the noise was not at all impacting on our stay or sleep. The room was lovely! with beautiful views. There were White Company products in the shower fixed to the wall which was a nice touch as the products are really nice. The location is perfect for shopping and the theatre. I can highly recommend and would be the place I would stay when visting Milton Keynes again.

Stayed here last minute as an anniversary getaway (all we wanted was a night away from the kids and to eat dinner in peace). We were greeted by a lovely receptionist called Arun who was very friendly and helpful. The pool is warm and clean and the sauna was a nice addition. We had a meal in the restaurant and the food was good and served quickly by friendly staff. The room is basic but comfortable, clean and spacious. I feel like this is a very good value for money hotel and would definitely come back again, especially as the staff are so friendly.

Stayed here for family function and had three rooms Staff were really helpful and friendly and gave us adjoining rooms in the extension. These rooms appeared new and were in excellent condition Three minor points The hotel was very busy being half term and the staff were so busy checking in guests that service at the bar was unavoidably slow in the late afternoon The car park is quite large but the harvester opposite is so busy when we got back we had to park at the far end which if you had luggage would be inconvenient.I was able to move the car in the morning Lastly like all expresses the breakfast quality is something of a lottery.on this occasion the coffee were better than usual express standard but bacon and egg were disappointing Generally however well above average for this brand

We stayed with two young children and my husband, who is disabled. We booked a two room suite which was a lovely size, little night lights in the twin room (nice touch) lovely bath (with grab rails for my husband. Twin sink, nice toiletries and clean rooms with comfy beds. I'm a Hilton Honours member and am very impressed in general with the Double Tree offering from the company. Breakfast was fresh, great variety, friendly staff, was personality. Very aware of my husband's needs too. Highly commendable. Just a couple things. * We got all the way to the room and the digital key failed. I called reception who asked me to come and get a key, when I said I had a disabled partner and children I couldn't leave, was met with 'you have to come back to reception' lesson learnt. Don't bother with the digital key. Ever. * The hotel needs to invest in smaller high chairs for babies. It was huge, took up space and was a bit dirty. There are lots of local eateries nearby and shops too for your convenience. We would come back here again!

I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. The decor inside is modern, stylish and tastefully decorated. My room was nice and well laid out. The colours really suited the space. It was very clean and tidy, as was everywhere else. The restaurant area was very clean with modern furnishings and a well organised place to eat & drink. The food was delicious, and the service was first class. I could have stayed there all week, but I was only there for one night. I regularly use budget hotels as part of my job and many other hotels in that price range could learn a thing or two about how to provide fantastic service at a reasonable price. Chloe, on the reception desk was lovely to chat to and very professional & polite. For me, it was a refreshing experience.

I hate to say that before our stay, I thought Holiday Inn as being fairly average and nothing to rave about, and having not stayed at this particular hotel for 10+ years, and on that occasion it was with a work Xmas party, we booked last minute just for convenience whilst visiting family over Xmas. How wrong I was!! We got absolutely 5 star service in all respects. The receptionists could not have been more friendly and helpful, likewise the gentleman who served us breakfast both mornings of our stay. I wish I had got all of their names as they were just wonderful. The hotel is clean, light & airy, quiet (especially so at the moment whilst London Road is shut for the next few weeks - bonus!!), great parking and very well located for onward travel. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, probably a new fave for us in MK and we stay quite frequently. Thank you to all your wonderful staff!!

We checked in here for 1 night using Booking.com ...it cost us £55 a night for 2 people ( no breakfast as we'd read previous reviews which weren't very complimentary) we'd added to booking for an accessible room as husband disabled. We arrived at Hotel about 6pm. Plenty of parking and disabled spaces. Hotel building accessible to wheelchair users and disabled toilet in reception. No lifts. When we checked in room was on 1st floor receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful and found us a room on the ground floor (room 43). The room was furthest away from reception which wouldn't be a problem for an able-bodied person but navigating suitcases and additional items needed for a person with disabilities (on a mobility scooter) through several doors was a bit awkward, but we were grateful for the ground floor room. The room was small maybe better suited for 1 person, but adequate for 1 night. Plenty of storage, TV, tea/coffee provided, no fridge, no AC but fan provided, windows open slightly, extra pillows/blanket, hairdryer, body/hair wash, bar of soap, towels provided. The bed was small (double) but a huge desk in the room which if was replaced by something smaller a larger queen/king sized bed could be fitted in. En-suite Shower with shower curtain, plenty of hot water, fixed head shower, adequate for me but totally inadequate for my husband who couldn't shower, no grab rails or shower seat. This hotel is lovely and the size of the rooms is reflected in the price. The whole hotel is absolutely spotless from reception to rooms (bed linen and towels good quality) carpets all look new, paintwork all fresh its a credit to the housekeepers. There is a large well stocked bar, with pool table, and also a cafe/restaurant which in my opinion was more aimed at catering for a student population, with a limited daily menu, (we didnt use it) again very clean. The staff we met on reception were extremely friendly, helpful and informative. Hotel is on a university campus dont follow sat nav postcode just follow the road straight round. Mitchell Hall on the left, not very well sign posted. Its in beautiful grounds and a 2 minute drive to the co-op and petrol station. We would return (but the hotel should offer accessible rooms, the room we had wasnt suitable for a wheelchair user ( we had to leave it outside the room door in the corridor) and there should be disabled bathroom facilities)

Located on the Cranfield University campus, this is an excellent, well planned, cleaned facility. I was impressed by the attention to detail. Pleasant room, with everything you could want: TV, Tea & Coffee facilities; Good WiFi, Comfortable bed, Hot & powerful shower, Luggage rack, Hairdryer, Iron & ironing boad, even a box of tissues.

Really easy when checking in, staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though we had booked without breakfast, they still gave us all the times in case we changed our mind as well as the times for the food and the bar. The room was clean and just what we needed for a getaway. Plenty of space and it had really good space to store our belongings away. Good amount of plugs, especially having one either side of the bed. Bathroom was clean and a really good size. Wifi was included, which made it more appealing as usually when we go away we have to pay extra!

I stayed two weeks whilst visiting family. Reception staff were professional and friendly. There was a small problem when checking in, but it was dealt with quickly. I spoke to the Manager and provided the names of the women who were so helpful, as I really appreciated their diligence. The breakfast is one of the best, both hot and cold with plenty of choice. They also have gluten free bread and soya milk. In the cafe, the staff were professional and courteous and ready with my gf toast every morning! The rooms are clean, quiet and, importantly given the weather, have air conditioning. There is free parking and wifi. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay again.
