If I could give 10 stars, I would! Milka’s is spotless, stylish, and super comfortable. The rooms are cozy . Quiet location but close to the city centre, perfect balance. Fast WiFi, great and lovely hosts who really care. I highly recommend this in Oxford to anyone looking for a perfect stay!

Really friendly and helpful. We asked if we could use their EV charger while in Oxford even though we were not guests. They could not have been more helpful.

Clean, Clean, Clean. The most important attributes when we travel. We stayed here 3 times during our daughter’s year attending Oxford, and Milka’s never disappointed. They are conveniently located adjacent to the bus stop. The rooms are quaint and comfortable. The owners are very nice and helpful. Don’t expect luxury or a huge bathroom & shower, but you can expect cleanliness and comfort.

Milka’s has the most wonderful service. They truly went above and beyond to make sure that my stay was comfortable, and it absolutely was. The room was very clean, homey and cozy. Getting into the city center by bus is super easy. I have a bad back so the mattress is important to me. It was supportive without being too hard—super comfortable. For the comfort alone, I would stay there again! On top of that, I was running late to my first day of classes, waiting for a ride that never showed. Petar, the owner, saw me struggling and very kindly offered to drive me himself—on a Sunday morning, no less! Thanks to him, I made it on time. That kind of kindness really stuck with me. Of course, I wouldn’t expect a ride as part of the service, but I had to mention it to sincerely thank Petar for going out of his way to help. Truly above and beyond. Thank you so so much!

Fantastic stay. Spent 4 nights here while working on Central Oxford. Owners can't do enough for you, nothing is too much. Bus stop outside, 10-15mins into town. Will be returning

Sparkling clean room and en-suite bathroom, good shower, comfortable bed, peace at night – everything you need for a good stay! The whole crew is fantastic and always there to help. The bus stop couldn't be closer, and it easily connects you to the city centre. There's also a public bicycle/scooter parking spot right in front. Florence Park is a 5-min stroll away. I strongly recommend!

The rooms are very clean and the view is beautiful. The owners are very thoughtful, polite and helpful. The location is convenient, there are bus stops within 1 minute walking distance. If I go to Oxford again, I will definitely stay here.

Stayed here in May with a friend after our original hotel in Oxford could not honor the booking because of a plumbing issue. The owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially since we had no previous booking and we had arrived before he would normally accept check ins. The room was clean and spacious with a lovely view of the garden. The bathroom was also very clean and we had a wonderful stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone spending time in Oxford.
