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.

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.

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.

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

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.
