The Ramada Encore Milton Keynes is an ideal place to stay, whether it is for business or pleasure. The hotel can be described as funky with its very modern décor, wooden floors, trendy pictures and stylish lamps.

The main door to reception is almost hidden to the side of the building in-between All Bar One and Ha Ha Bar & Grill. Once inside however, there is a large reception where you’ll find a team of staff eager to serve your every need. To the right, you’ll find two small lifts which lead to the rest of the hotel.

For anyone outside of Milton Keynes looking for somewhere to stay and somewhere to be entertained at night, Ramada Encore is ideally situated in the heart of the Hub. Although they have their own restaurant and bar which comes highly recommended (read our restaurant review by clicking here), anyone staying for longer than one night will have a whole of establishments to choose from. Haha, All Bar One, Lloyds, Las Iguanas and The Living Room all have bustling atmospheres where you can enjoy a lively night out.

Our room was cute with a modern yet cosy theme. This is one of the few hotel suites I have encountered with wooden floors. Business clients are well catered for, with a stylish and spacious desk and access to the internet.

We only had two pillows for our bed and wanted four. We called reception and in less than five minutes some more had arrived. So far, so good. You need to place your room key into a pad in order for the lights to work in your room. This is a great way of saving on electricity and Ramada Encore do everything they can to help the environment. You will not find a bath in your room - instead, you’ll see a stylish walk-in shower unit. No need to worry about splashing water or slipping over getting in and out of the bath.

Ramada Encore Milton Keynes may still be relatively new but it has been immaculately maintained and everywhere was spotless. With a good choice of drinks and food available 24 hours a day, you’ll find everything you need here for a relaxing and enjoyable night’s stay.

We woke in the morning and headed straight for breakfast. This is a help yourself fare and the stand out for me was the quality of the sausages. They were meaty and delicious. We enjoyed an excellent full English breakfast that set us up for the day. The food here was, without a doubt, far better than many hotel breakfasts we had sampled before. The fruit was hugely popular amongst diners, probably because it was so fresh.

From start to finish, the Ramada Encore had done nothing but impress.
