Macdonald Parkside Hotel, Milton Keynes

Advantages: Breakfast was great and loved the huge bed!
Disadvantages: Smelly room and location was remote

...Well the breakfast was delicious and the rooms were nice and large, with possibly the biggest double bed ever!! Problem was - the room smelt like wet dogs! On our way out I did hear I guy asking what the smell was but the receptionist didn't seem to be being particularly helpful, they appeared to be playing dumb! She also told us that it would be about a 10 minute walk to the Milton Keynes Bowl, it took us about an hour to get home after standing all day/night at a concert - our poor feet had quite enought that day! It isn't a particularly centrally located hotel either, but a taxi into the centre was cheap enough. To sum it up, I'd say it was average.... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable rooms, Wifi available
Disadvantages: Bit pricey, have to pay for Wifi

...The Quality Hotel in Milton Keynes is a super hotel to stay in even if it is a bit pricey for Milton Keynes, not that i've got anything against milton Keynes before you all start on me!! I had a double room with single occupancy and this cost me £85 per night and didn't even include Breakfast - this was another £10 if you wanted it. However i was working in Wolverton and the Tesco there did a full english breakfast with a coffee for £3.00. So unfortunatly i can not comment on the standard of the food made available for breakfast. The hotel is situated on the outskirts of Milton Keynes on Monks Way, Two mile Ash MK8 8LY and is contactable on 01908 561666 or fax 01908 568303 for booking, or you can book over the internet at which you tend to get a better price. The rooms are of a very good quality and very comfortable with all... Read review

Advantages: It's spectacular and surprisingly quiet and the best location in the city
Disadvantages: Parking, high prices.

...As a student at Oxford University in the late 1980s, the Randolph seemed like the physical embodiment of the class divide that afflicted poor kids like me who came from state schools from the much wealthier students who took the affluence and grandeur of the city's finest hotel entirely in their stride. I'd never been in such a grand hotel and the closest thing to a grand building in my home city was the local branch of Lloyds Bank. My flat mates' parents would arrive each term and take us out to the Randolph for rather staid Sunday lunches in the spectacular high ceilinged dining room where we'd sit and watch the world cycle by through the tall windows. By contrast my parents would visit bringing a bag full of fish and chips or a Chinese take-away. I can't really say that we enjoyed the Randolph that much more than a take... Read review
