When arriving at the hotel I was welcomed very friendly by the hotel staff. They upgraded me to a pitch facing room, which means that you get a great view over the pitch of the MK Dons. The room is literally right behind the stands.Rooms are spacious and very up-to-date. Nice bathroom and a big flatscreen tv. I did have a very good night sleep here.I had dinner at the hotel as I think there is not much around the hotel to go to. Dinner was good, the Irish coffee I had as desert could use so improvement.Breakfast was OK nothing really special. The poached eggs I got were good tho.I would stay here again

The initial welcome given on arrival at this 'by Hilton' titled hotel was friendly and efficient enough. The standard of the room did not disappoint as it was both spacious and spotlessly clean. I stayed here for a works group event with evening dinner and breakfast. Whilst the evening meal starter of soup was pleasant, the main course was a very small portion of tough meat with a lack of any fresh vegetables at the table until specifically ordered additionally by one of our party. Catering on a large scale can often sacrifice quality and there was no exception here. (Dining as an individual guest may prove a better experience). The room was quiet and comfortable to sleep in. Before breakfast at 9.30 am I ran the hot bath tap fully for approximately five minutes to find the water tepid at best and so bypassed a morning soak. Breakfast was again pleasant enough with all the usual fair one would expect. When booking out I raised the matter of the lack of any hot water and It was suggested to me that I should have called for maintenance at the time. The desk staff stated all they could do was inform hotel management. This has ultimately led to my receiving a telephone call from the hotel management who assured me the bathroom tap in question (which was operating just fine when I used it) would be examined. It was strongly inferred that anyone could claim there was no hot water after the time had passed and that maybe I was just incapable of operating a bath tap. Hotel stays can often have good and bad points and a balanced view is always necessary, however what really disappointed was the attitude of the hotel manager over the phone. I will not be returning the latest call from the Double Tree by Hilton as they wrongly seem to think I am after some undeserved financial recompense. I'm not, a 'sorry about that' would have done ! Its wise to put things right at the time rather than reply to an honest review after the event!

Booked this hotel about 6 months in advance and got a good deal. Booked 2 nights with 2 rooms, as we travelled with the in-laws. We both had king size beds with a view of the stadium.On arrival the check in was good and we were each given complimentary warm cookies freshly baked on site. I did point out to the reception later on that i had a large piece of walnut shell in mine which could have been nasty......which they thanked me for telling them about and would inform the kitchen.The rooms were very spacious,the in-laws got robes and slippers in their room but we didn't....? I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be provided so didn't raise this as an issue. The beds were king size and comfortable. There was little noise on the corridors apart from people returning from the wedding that was taking place in the hotel that night. The 2nd night of our stay we didn't hear a thing....probably because I'd just run the marathon during the day....but the rooms appeared to be sound proofed. I've only stayed in 1 hotel where corridor noise was eliminated and this was the Hard Rock hotel in Florida where they have a little area between the corridor door and the room door. The bath and shower controls were very stiff but manageable, I would imagine less able bodied visitors would really struggle.Parking on site was easy enough, and visitors can also use the car park outside the box office if the nearest one is busy.The gym which is unmanned was the only area of the hotel I would suggest improvements are made. I was staying there to run the marathon and went to check out the Treadmills, they were very cheap and in my opinion unsafe. in this type of hotel I would expect a little more, not a cheap treadmill, regardless of the brand name. Accidents may happen....... The rest of the equipment was of the usual standard and as with everything in Milton Keynes it was spacious.I would return here again if the circumstances were right and would recommend it to anyone else who enjoys a good nights sleep and a level of service that is not found in many other places these days. I will review the restaurant separately.

Great hotel. We stayed here after our visit to Bletchley Park for my hubbie's birthday, and were unsure as to what to expect from the hotel being right on the stadium and in the middle of a huge retail park on a match weekend, but had decided to chance it for the exceptional value and surprisingly good reviews. Were not disappointed, as the room was pretty quiet despite being on the same level as the restaurant, the room was an excellent size, the usual nice heavy blackout curtains, so clean and a mini-fridge to keep our drinks cold was just great. Use Sat Nav to get there and there are plenty of signs to get you parked (free) right out the front of the building. We were cheeky and ordered in a Chinese takeaway, and staff didn't blink an eyelid. Were happy with the experience from start to finish, from the freshly baked warm cookie we were handed on check-in to the excellent desk host who checked us back out. Very happy. Perhaps be cautious to book or think about it if you don't like the odds of hearing raucous guests getting in at 2am next door, but then it's not the hotel's fault. Take earplugs.

Fab room overlooking the MK Dons ground ....wonderful staff, welcoming reception staff with a warm cookie...don't get that at other chain hotels!!! The breakfast was so filling that I didn't need to eat until I got back home to Wales at 8pm. I couldn't possibly have asked for more.
