Debbie
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room although small was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast was very enjoyable. The down side was the eight flights of stairs to the room. 😊
Paul
We loved the Inn on the Mile! Not only was it extremely convenient in its location, but the staff was extremely accommodating.
We highly recommend it to any travelors!

I stayed at the hotel for one night on 18 July 2026. First impressions were positive, with what I assume was the manager greeting us on arrival. The room was comfortable, and we had a reasonable night's sleep.
Unfortunately, breakfast was disappointing. With only one other table occupied, we had to ask whether we could sit anywhere and if it was table service. We were told it was, but after waiting around 20 minutes without anyone taking our order, we eventually had to go to the bar ourselves. The breakfast staff gave the impression they neither wanted to be there nor serve guests.
I also accidentally left an item of clothing behind, which I realised about an hour after leaving Edinburgh. I contacted the hotel by phone and email but initially received no response. When I eventually got through, I was told they had my item, only to later receive an email saying they did not. Once confirmed, I was informed they would not post it back. Considering the price of the hotel, I expected the courtesy of returning a lost item. Instead, I had to arrange for a friend to collect it and was told to complete a lost property form next time. Unfortunately, there won't be a next time.
To make matters worse, an unexplained charge of £9.45 has since appeared on my card. I have received no invoice or explanation and am still waiting for a response. Overall, poor customer service and communication overshadowed what started as a pleasant stay.

Perfect location for exploring The Royal Mile and close to the Waverley Station when we were headed to Aberdeen and on to Shetland.
The breakfasts were yummy and the rooms lovely. Book the upper floors if possible, however, as there can be a little bit of noise from the pub. The staff were helpful and friendly 😊

We actually ended up staying at the sister hotel to the Inn on the Mile. As much as we chose it and wanted to stay there, the hotels.com booking was clear on our stipulations for the room, but that didn’t show on the reservation that way for the hotel. They could have just said, “too bad”. Instead they gave us a lovely upgraded room at the Scotsman Hotel. It was amazing! The breakfast was amazing and the cafe attached was also great. The neighborhood was amazing and made seeing all the things we wanted to see easy and accessible! Absolutely loved this hotel and the really helpful, attentive staff.
Staci
We had a wonderful stay at The Inn on the Mile. The boutique hotel is very nice and right in the heart of the Royal Mile making it easy to drop by the hotel for a rest I the middle of the day. The breakfast was delicious and the room was lovely.
Katrina
Location was great for sightseeing. It was a little loud on Friday night from the bar next door.
Thomas
We enjoyed our stay at the Inn on the Mile. Everything was good from the staff, to the location, to the room, to the food and drink, but the hotel could use an elevator. That said, that's typical in European hotels. We would likely stay at the Inn on the Mile again.
Donald
Great location directly on the Mile. No elevator so carrying bags up 3 flights was a challenge. Great access to many restaurants and pubs.
Daniel
Loved staying at the Inn on the Mile, great location, spacious room and bathroom, breakfasts were excellent, and the staff was great. It can be noisy at night from the street but that did not disrupt our stay.
Joshua
Beautiful hotel. Great location. We had breakfast included, both the eggs Benedict and full Scottish breakfast were delicious. Room was perfect, best bathroom I’ve ever enjoyed. The staff were so helpful, from special requests (setting up surprise birthday decorations), to check in/out and breakfast staff. Little bit of noise in the evening but to be expected being so central. It didn’t actually affect us anyway as we were so tired we fell asleep instantly.
Overall a brilliant hotel, can’t recommend enough. We would absolutely stay again.
Thank you,
Josh

Hotel.com website works most of the time. Room TV did not allow adding app, like Netflix. Cloths rack in bathroom did not work
margaret
The location was gorgeous. The rooms were so nice and had everything you needed. Staff extremely helpful and friendly!
Marguerite
I really like my stay but felt it was overpriced for what it was. Don’t get me wrong the room was well appointed, clean, comfortable and centrally located. The main floor bar is really cool. I enjoy my experience just not the price tag to stay there. I think if breakfast would of been included it would of added to the overall value of my stay.
Mary Lou
Our room was on the top floor, and sadly was very tiny. It was super clean with a nice modern bathroom, and a very comfortable bed, but we were glad not to be staying longer than one night because of the limited space. We understand rooms on the lower floors are a bit larger. Location was amazing. Staff was helpful, especially Mikey.
Julie A
This hotel is in the city center with restaurants and shopping. The old town is beautiful. Our room had a balcony which was very nice. The hotel was clean and the staff was helpful.

Good Inn, great breakfast. Amazing location, minutes to most attractions. Room warm, comfortable and clean. Hair dryer and straightners in the room. Only downside 79 steps to the room, it does say stairs but not how many. Not ideal for people with health issues. Was able to leave bags at the start and end of our holiday.
Mike
Great location. Friendly staff. Excellent live music in the hotel bar. Comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast. Thoroughly enjoyed this little hotel.
Carolyn
Incredible location. Be aware that there is no lift, but a small price to pay for a nice, quiet, well appointed room in the center of everything in Old Town. The first set of rooms can be a little noisy due to the pub downstairs and street traffic, but again, that is what happens when you book a boutique hotel above a pub. The upper floors were perfectly quiet and lovely. The room needed a bit of dusting, and the mattress was incredibly firm, but overall, great value for the price point!!
Shona
Gorgeous room, staff fantastic and perfect stay ❤️
Patricia
It was a very nice boutique hotel. The food was quite nice and staff very accommodating. The hike up the 3 floors was something we had to get prepared to do each day! Only 3 rooms all the way up there, 2 other floors with 3 each so you can request a lower floor.
It is located on the Royal Mile and everything is so close! Great spot for our short 4 day adventure.

Shahnaz
The room was spacious including most amenities needed. The breakfast is not a buffet style, but has very good selections and they are delicious. Most nights, the pub has live music, which is a plus. From the room, the view of the city is beautiful, and the hotel is perfectly located; walking distance to major tourist attractions and many restaurants with a variety of cuisines are all at walking distance. Also, there are a few supermarkets and convenient stores (open 24 hours) a few feet away, which is great for travelers.
Kathleen
Hotel is over a bar that get loud in the evening. There is no elevator. The room we were in was recently remodeled and lovely. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Phoebe
The room was clean, nicely decorated and cosy.
It was in a fantastic location, and really walkable to all main attractions.
There was a bar/restaurant downstairs which had a lively atmosphere (and shows sport on a big screen), but the rooms were soundproofed really well and you couldn’t tell if that isn’t your sort of thing.
We were able to keep our bags safe at the hotel before check-in and after check-out as well, which was great due to travel times.
Would definitely return to this hotel!

There was a bar/restaurant downstairs which had a lively atmosphere (and shows sport on a big screen), but the rooms were soundproofed really well and you couldn’t tell if that isn’t your sort of thing.
We were able to keep our bags safe at the hotel before check-in and after check-out as well, which was great due to travel times.
Would definitely return to this hotel!

Room was perfect super clean Staff was great location perfect!
James
Great bar and music on first floor. All tourist sites very walkable from this location. Good access to public transportation. Long term parking is not available. Long term parking garage is ten minute walk away.
Daniel
We didn't know there would be live music downstairs until 11:30pm, preventing us from getting a good night's sleep on a Friday. Not sure if this is an issue weekday nights- ask the property. Too bad, since room was large, modern, and clean. Had a Nepresso as well as the usual tea kettle, etc., which was nice. Our room had the water closet (toilet) separate from the shower/tub which was nice, but neither had an exhaust fan. There is no lift, but the staff will help bring luggage upstairs. Food in the bar was convenient, fairly priced for being on The Mile, and was good (not great, but good).
Karen
PRIME location. Fun and festive. Beautiful rooms. No elevator! We will definitely return!
Peter
Nice but noisy
Nice room, just very loud given the high traffic/tourist location.
Avan
Awesome. Third time and we will be back soon !

We loved being on The Mile at The Mile Inn. It was a hopping part of town, but quieted down my 10pm. My husband is vegetarian, and they had ALOT of options on their menu. We loved sitting outside in the front, and the night time bar crew was great.
Avan
The most kind and centrally located Inn in Scotland. Second time here and we will be back !!!
Maxine
Enjoyed the nightly music

This is the best place to stay in old town. The rooms are spacey, very comfortable bed, the bathrooms are modern,
great shower pressure, heated towel rack.
Love everything about. The staff were very helpful and kind.
However if you’re not able to do stairs, this would be a problem.
We were in room 5 and there were 60 stairs. But there are landings so you can rest. Worth the climb though.

This is a beautiful old building right on the Royal Mile but with beautifully renovated bathroom and spotless linens on a very comfortable bed.
My window looked out on a vista of Edinburgh but the room was amazingly quiet given the Fringe Festival taking place out on the street.
Restaurant on ground floor had breakfast and pub drinks and food, with live guitar music in the evenings. I was out all day everyday with friends at the Festival and came back quite late in the evenings. Key card got me in if staff was not still there. And no worries at all about safety.
The only drawback was no lift and these old homes had hugely high ceilings, meaning that the climb up to my room was long. So, this would not work for people with disabilities, but the whole city of Edinburgh is FULL of steps and hills, so not a wise choice to visit for people who cannot climb up and down.
I really loved this hotel and would recommend it highly.

What a gem! Rooms are spacious and well maintained. Bathroom is updated and the shower is excellent. The staff were lovely. Highly recommended.
Andrew
The bed was amazingly comfortable but the room was all bed there was no room for anything else in there .. but not unpleasant it was actually quite nice
Jeff
Excellent location for Old Town! The room was great and had a great view. The food at the pub downstairs was delicious as well.
mark
A great location for the fringe
Overall a great stay however the room wasn’t serviced even though we had requested it and the room was noisy at night. To be fair though the location is amazing and due to location it will be rowdy at night
Richard
Nice exclusive room in a 9 room boutique hotel. The staff could accommodate our needs (early check in, help with luggage). Located on the main tourist street of Edinburgh. Most attractions are accessible by foot. Rooms are on 3 floors above street level. No elevator (could be problematic for some customers; just be aware of that). Bar-restaurant with singer on site. Highly recommended.
Ashley
The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The Inn only had 9 rooms so it was quiet and very convenient, if you don't mind the stairs!
Heather
It doesnt get better! Great staff, great breakfast, beautiful rooms, and the sound of bagpipes coming thru the window. Walkable to everywhere. One of the first stays of our 2 week trip through Scotland, and it spoiled us for everywhere else. We loved it.

Above-and-Beyond Service!
The inn is beautiful and quiet despite being right in the middle of the Royal Mile historic district. That alone would have been worth five stars, but on the morning of check-out, my wife wasn’t feeling well, and while the inn was fully committed, Jayne at the front desk arranged for us to stay in the room as long as possible, connected us with a sister hotel for an early check-in, and assisted us with our bags. This was our first international trip, and we were so appreciative of Jayne’s kindness and dedication to great service. We can’t recommend this stay enough!
Charles
It was a wonderful room and staff was attentive. Cleanliness was great. We didnt read closely enough to realize that having a room on the first floor meant the luve music from the restaurant rtea waa quite noticeable. Our mistake.
Jan
Needs elevator
JOE
Great
Nicole
Different checkin experience as it’s in the bar but don’t let this sway you, the staff are amazing, the food was great and entertainment every night was really good with it ending by midnight never kept us up! Anything you need they were there to please even taking your luggage up stairs for you and only 9 rooms! Loved this central right on the Royal Mile location is prime!!
Heather
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!
Allegra
Amazing location and beautiful hotel. Rooms were great along with the restaurant. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful.
Choi Kit
We lived on the third floor, there’s no elevator. The room was spacious and comfortable. Very convenient location.
Ali
This is an inn with rooms as opposed to a hotel. Very centrally located on The Royal Mile. The staff were excellent, rooms large and clean.
Louisa
This was a great place to stay in Edinburgh. It was very loud at night, but it felt par for the course of staying on the Royal Mile
Steve
Lively and lovely pub with a live acoustic set on the Friday we arrived. Staff were very nice too. All together a very pleasant stay and I definitely would return
Alice
Great location and friendly staff
My stay at Inn on the Mile was lovely. Great location and friendly staff. This was my first solo international trip and was nice to have sych a positive experience.

Disappointing
A small room with a bed that is far to big for that room....No central heating and run out of hot water when in the shower. Shower extract fan is in need of cleaning as is the toilet brush which is stinking. Windows are desperately need sortiing ....overall disappointing for the money but that is typical of these so called premium hotels...all looks good but the smaller details are overlooked and la k attention.
Andrew
Great stay. Very central and very nice rooms.
Jane
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.
Susan
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.

Angela
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.
Michelle
Perfect location. Lovely room.
Rebecca
Great boutique hotel that is within a 10-minute walk from the bus station and located on the Royal Mile. Centrally located to all of the sites. Our room was spacious and loved the large bathroom. Great breakfast selection and staff were very friendly. Highly recommend this hotel yet you need to be able to do stairs as there are no elevators at this location.
SARAH
Great location to enjoy 'the mile'.
celeste
Great place to walk around and see the sights. We were heading to the whisky experience and it was an easy walk on the mile. Great cafes and pubs everywhere you look. Very busy with pedestrians so don’t drive of you don’t have to.
Shari
The property was a perfect location for shopping, restaurants etc. It does not have a lift (elevator) but they brought the luggage up to the room. If you cannot do stairs they would not work for you. The staff was very nice and the room was large, clean and very comfortable.
Brant
Great hotel, in a great location. I actually booked at The Inn on the Mile but was changed to this hotel for some reason. I have no complaints though, it is a beautiful property.
Tavin
I loved the property and location. It was a shame I was unable to stay for two nights.
KATHARINE
The lack of elevator is not highlighted. 40-60 steps are a lot for many people. Even though I know now, I still can’t find it stated
Room very nice, staff very nice. Location good except can be noisy

Great location. Did not realize rooms were above a pub, so no other shared areas. 80 steps to our room on top floor. Nice decor and very comfortable. Helpful staff. Good breakfast.
Michael
Truly one-of-a-kind lodging. We walked the short distance to the Inn on the Mile from the train station, checked our bags, and enjoyed a delicious lunch downstairs before heading up to our room for a respite from the busy Fringe streets. Our room was cozy, but luxurious and comfortable, and a great central location for exploring everything that Edinburgh's Old Town has to offer. Highly recommended.
Mateusz
The Inn has an impeccable location. The rooms are very spacious and unique. I want to give a Shout out to Jane and Joe from Staff who made our group welcome like family. They answered all questions, provided excellent suggestions and were a pleasure to see during our stay.
John
A wonderful place to stay for our first to Edinburgh.
Ryan
Gem of a find. Well kept and historic building. Everything was in walking distance. Staff took good care of us and a bar/restaurant downstairs.

Expensive room but very good. Views marred by the scaffolding outside the window. Don't remember reading that when booking.

Beautiful boutique hotel. Comfortable beds, room was clean. Well located. Just know there’s no elevator (lift) but Joe was very kind to help me with my luggage. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Great trip, staff on arrival so friendly and eager to help, everyone was nice. Breakfast a little sparse but delicious. Facilities were top notch. Really enjoyed our stay.

definitely a busy street so expect some noise..just put a sound machine on at night and you’ll be fine.

Inn on the Milw for Taylor Swift
Perfect location for seeing the city! Steven was the nicest and most helpful!!!!
We loved our stay - big rooms and bathrooms.
Keep in mind there are stairs - so not a choice if you can’t handle stairs!

My stay at the Inn on the Mile was one of the best that I could ask for. All of the staff was super helpful, the food was brilliant and best of all I felt safe as a single woman traveling alone to be able to have a drink or two and then go up to my room. The only thing I would note is there is no elevator so you will get a great stair workout!

Great location
Fabulous location. The rooms were a bit hard to access with luggage (no elevator, lots of stairs), but the rooms were very nice. Very expensive, not sure it was good value for the money.
Laura
What a gem! This hotel has everything and is located in the heart of the Royal Mile. Monica was so helpful when we checked in after a long travel day and took great care of us when we had breakfast and checked out. The beds were so comfortable, the bathroom felt like a spa and having a drink and dinner right downstairs was a bonus. My daughter and I were able to take in all the sights of the Royal Mile and enjoy the luxury of our room after a long day. Thank you for an enjoyable visit!
Katie
Amazing location right in the centre of Edinburgh! Staff were super friendly and the room was huge as well as the bathroom. Room was clean and nicely decorated. Good breakfast as well. Definitely recommend.
gina
Fun boutique pub/hotel with nicely appointed rooms & breakfast made to order. Pleasantly surprised by the size and quality of the rooms as there are just a handful of them over the pub - and they were relatively quiet. Pub was lots of fun in the evening w live music from 830-12pm. Can’t beat the location either !!
Kristie
Beautiful hotel with friendly staff right in the heart of Edinburgh. Food was great, too!
Michael
Real nice hotel, bar, and restaurant. Even though there isn’t an elevator the staff is very helpful in getting your luggage up the stairs. A very pleasant stay.

Great location, nice place, you do have to walk up stairs to rooms so just be aware of that. Friendly staff

Had an amazing time, the room was fantastic and the restaurant/pub was delicious and the drinks were good..
Terry
Checking in was easy, restaurant & bar with live music were great and we enjoyed the room as well. A bit of a walk upstairs, but everything else made it worth while.
Peter
Absolutely amazing experience. The room and washroom was palatial and in the middle of the Royal Mile.
