The Inn on the Mile

You couldn't get a better location as it is right on the Royal Mile. The room wasn't overly large but the bed very comfy and loads of amenities (even a wine bucket). When you walk in to the property you find yourself in a traditional Scottish pub/bar. Only 9 rooms and they are above the pub. You'd think with the location and the pub it would be noisy. Instead, the room was extraordinarily quiet! We actually found it very convenient to have the pub downstairs as we could grab breakfast, lunch or dinner! The people running the place were extremely helpful and friendly.

Location was perfect for our needs. Only 9 rooms for a personalized experience. Pub on ground level was so convenient after a long day of sightseeing making it easy to get a meal. Rooms were decorated beautifully. Bed very comfortable. Quiet despite being on the mile. All the staff were friendly and extra helpful. The wait staff and bartenders in the pub were great. The housekeepers were very nice. Joe was especially helpful as our room heat wasn’t working the first night. He kept at it until we got heat for our room. Taxi stand at property right next door for convenience.

It’s excellent. The room was spotless modern and had great decor with nothing overlooked. Big bed , white sheets and comfortable. The shower and bathroom was great with Arran aromatic after the rain soaps and shampoo. Big tv, with a free supply of Tunnocks tea cakes and caramel wafers. What more could you ask for! Its location is brilliant, right on the royal mile. It’s five minutes from the train station and everywhere is easy to walk to. Staff were lovely, great bar and restaurant downstairs.

Fantastic stay at the Inn on the Mile. The location is perfect for sightseeing and experiencing Old Town. The rooms are in a historic building on the Royal Mile. The rooms are above a restaurant/bar with live music but our rooms were silent and we never heard any noise from downstairs. We loved the private entrance to our rooms. The beds were huge and comfortable. We enjoyed having the restaurant downstairs. The Breakfast roll with juice and coffee is one of the best deals in the area. There is no lift and you have to walk up several steep stairs to the rooms but we actually like this.

As the name suggests, Inn On The Mile is actually located on the Royal Mile. It is a short walk from Waverly Train Station, which suited our needs as we travelled to Edinburgh by train {LNER, which had good service and was fast}. Although the area is often crowded and touristy, and noisy, our room was quiet. It also had good views on two sides. Inn On The Mile appears to have been a bank in past years, and the downstairs bar was busy in the evening and had live music each night. The main entrance to our rooms was through the bar, although there was a doorway to the room opening from a stairway to the street. Our bedroom was large and well-furnished, and the bathroom was luxurious. A full breakfast was provided in the bar area each morning for guests of the hotel, and was quite good. Our hosts at the hotel were incredibly nice.
