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.

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!
Great views on Old Town, Edinburgh!

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

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
