The Inn on the Mile

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.

Nothing. My only comment would be that you are above the lovely restaurant and bar. So it will be noisy until late. Not an issue for us, but if you were an early to bed person you might want to bring ear plugs until the music stops. But you’re in the centre of Edinburgh, stay out late !!! Once the music stopped it was fairly quiet for such a major city and being right on the mile and I slept well.

Comfortable room, outstanding breakfast, friendly staff. Good location with a caveat of beware this is central to the party scene …..

As the location is so central it appears also appears the centre of Edinburgh party scene, so when the pubs/clubs close at 3AM (!)the boisterous party goers like to continue their party loudly for another hour or so which is fine if your sleep is not disrupted! Not the responsibility of the hotel but better glazing would help deaden the noise.

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.

10 out of 10, would highly recommend if you want to be in the heart of it all off The Royal Mile in beautiful Edinburgh. Friendly and professional staff, Garry, Monika and Joe to name but a few, who were most helpful during our 3 night stay. Really comfortable beds, we had Room 1 on the first floor and whilst we could hear the live music at night, it didn't prevent a good night's sleep. Great choice for breakfast. All in all, a terrific choice for our New Year's trip for Hogmanay. We'd have no hesitation in rebooking. Thank you all x

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.

Visitors to Edinburg should be prepared for walking on wet, uneven surfaces, and ready also to climb and descend stairs. We were prepared for this. Inn On The Mile does not have an elevator, but we were traveling light and this was not an issue. Hotel prices in Edinburgh are incredibly high, and this was the most expensive hotel I have ever stayed in. However, the location and ambience are exceptional.

Our room on the second floor faced the street and the view was spectacular. We were right in the center of the tourist activity and there were lots of restaurants ans pubs to explore. The location is premium!! The room and the bathroom were spacious and amazingly comfortable. The business has a restaurant and pub downstairs the the food was very good and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely stay here again. Despite the traffic and activity below, on the street, our room was quiet and we slept well. There is a convenient parking garage (entrance off of Blackfriars St) which was about a 5-minute walk and their prices are slightly higher. It was very convenient.

I was impressed with the staff. Relaxed and friendly even though the pub was very busy and the 'hotel check-in is in the pub. My room on the first night, for a few hours, did not have heat and I called the "front desk." which is the bartender. Apparently it's set to come on automatically? however the male bartender did not know that? or he fixed it and he did everything possible to to figure out the heating system including checking the room's wall unit, then the room heater and then the boiler down in the basement. At some point the heat turned on and for the rest of the stay I had heat. This man climbed 5 flights of stairs repeatedly trying to fix the issue while trying to work the pub at the same time. Later, I asked a female staff member to make taxi arrangements and it went smooth. Overall I was greeted with friendliness every time I passed through the hotel and the vibe is just a bunch of hardworking good people running the place.

The room didn't appear to have been cleaned before I arrived. There was a used towel in the bathroom and the toilet had been used. I was told that my original room had a leak and they needed me to move to a smaller room for the duration of my stay. However for the rest of the stay housekeeping cleaned the room very well to the point of me leaving her a large tip in gratitude.

Perfect location, in a beautiful building. Very impressed with the staff member who checked us in and stepped up to order a taxi to take us to the airport early the next morning. There was a handy side door we could use to get to our room without having to go through the main lobby and bar area. Very quaint bar, restaurant area with live music- on a Tuesday night! The room was a good size, tastefully decorated in a modern style and quite comfortable. Awesome bathroom with a separate water closet.

As with many heritage buildings, there was no lift to our top, third story room. There was a rather poignant, musty smell in the hallway on top floor (not in the room) but a successful attempt to mask with essential oils was evident in the staircase.

Initially -staff fantastic!! .nearly midnight I’d walked for an hour ( in wrong direction there’s another 82 high st) they were so welcoming offered a drink and carried by bag up the stairs ( I’m not young?) But then the room -just wow! Spacious and exceptionally well appointed for business travel .and really great ceiling lighting .!! you should win an award for that alone! Great position .taxi rank out front .easily my best stay in uk for these 4 days of meetings

That I couldn’t stay more than one night and a really enjoy the position and Edinburgh

Really simple check-in and were able to leave bags with the hotel before check-in. The room was clean and tidy and key card access made it easy to access our room later at night. The heated floor in the main shower room was really nice.

The taps in the rooms weren't very simple to use and spattered quite a bit on to the floor and over ourselves. The lavatory room was quite small and cramped, as well as the sink, making it quite hard to wash my hands and not get water on the floor. There were no heated floors in the lavatory, which would have been nice especially as the floor was fairly cold.
