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.

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!

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.

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!
