It's mad to stay anywhere else!

The Inn in the Mile is the perfect location, next to a taxi hub, and located at the half point on the Mile. Very clean, the food was great, all was comfortable, and our every need was met by friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend the breakfast package to start your day with no fuss and delicious a la carte menu to order from. Stephen was especially kind and accommodating, and made our stay an absolute pleasure, along with the rest of the staff. If I visit Edinburgh again, and I will as it is a beautiful city, I will absolutely stay here again! Superb!

Just had breakfast there once,which was okay. The double room was quite nice. I was on my own though and I think it would have been a bit of a squash for 2 people. The downstairs area was pub like so a bit disappointing that there wasn’t a lounge for my friend and I to spend time together in the evening ( who was also staying there) That’s probably something we should have realised though. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One of them carried our luggage up the steep stairs which was good. Very handy for sightseeing etc.

Inn on the mile

This is a unique hotel in a fabulous location. However it is three rooms to a floor and has nine floors but NO elevator!!! We were assigned a room on the 9th floor! However the bar staff assisted us with all our luggage.

Great Inn and location.

Great location and extremely accessible to the whole area. Coupled with the hop-on Hop-off system was great to explore. The Inn was very helpful with relocating to the first floor above the restaurant after the first night. A knee replacement was prohibitive above that. Staff was great! And, breakfast was the best. Akso, best lattes in town.

Excellent choice in central location

Great location right in the center of the action on the Royal Mile. Somehow, it was very quiet overnight! Beautiful old building that looks like it was a bank at one time. Good restaurant on the first floor, had a good breakfast, afternoon snack/ drinks, live music in the evenings til 10:30. Room was very comfortable, a tad small, spacious bathroom with good shower and heated towel rack. Staff was helpful and took our bags upstairs. One caveat, there are no elevators, so you may be walking up 2 or 3 floors to get to your room.
