This was our second time staying at Inn on the Mile and it was just as wonderful as our first trip! The room was so well put together and nicely stocked with snacks and amenities. The location is superb for Edinburgh's Old Town and the staff is so friendly!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is ideally located on The Mile, perfect for a city break. The combined reception/bar/restaurant area is very inviting, and the young staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms are well-laid-out, clean, and surprisingly quiet for a hotel in the heart of the city. Definitely a hotel we’ll return to the next time we visit Edinburgh.

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.

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.

8/10 Very good

Over all we had a good stay for one night .We were on the top floor so three sets of stairs and no lift (listed building ) Room was cosy but not the cleanest, crumbs on the chair but the bathroom was clean and tidy .Breakfast was tasty but could have been hotter. It was during the fringe so very busy in the evening/at night, which can’t be helped. We probably wouldn’t stay there again, central but a bit noisy for us. We’re not young anymore!😊

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

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.

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!!
