Great Inn and location.
Great location and extremely accessible to the whole area. Coupled with the hop-on Hop-off system was great to explore.
The Inn was very helpful with relocating to the first floor above the restaurant after the first night. A knee replacement was prohibitive above that. Staff was great! And, breakfast was the best. Akso, best lattes in town.

Excellent choice in central location
Great location right in the center of the action on the Royal Mile. Somehow, it was very quiet overnight! Beautiful old building that looks like it was a bank at one time. Good restaurant on the first floor, had a good breakfast, afternoon snack/ drinks, live music in the evenings til 10:30. Room was very comfortable, a tad small, spacious bathroom with good shower and heated towel rack. Staff was helpful and took our bags upstairs. One caveat, there are no elevators, so you may be walking up 2 or 3 floors to get to your room.

Great place to walk around and see the sights. We were heading to the whisky experience and it was an easy walk on the mile. Great cafes and pubs everywhere you look. Very busy with pedestrians so don’t drive of you don’t have to.

Great hotel, in a great location. I actually booked at The Inn on the Mile but was changed to this hotel for some reason. I have no complaints though, it is a beautiful property.

Truly one-of-a-kind lodging. We walked the short distance to the Inn on the Mile from the train station, checked our bags, and enjoyed a delicious lunch downstairs before heading up to our room for a respite from the busy Fringe streets. Our room was cozy, but luxurious and comfortable, and a great central location for exploring everything that Edinburgh's Old Town has to offer. Highly recommended.

The Inn has an impeccable location. The rooms are very spacious and unique. I want to give a Shout out to Jane and Joe from Staff who made our group welcome like family. They answered all questions, provided excellent suggestions and were a pleasure to see during our stay.

Expensive room but very good. Views marred by the scaffolding outside the window. Don't remember reading that when booking.
Nearby street can be noisy.

Inn on the Milw for Taylor Swift
Perfect location for seeing the city! Steven was the nicest and most helpful!!!!
We loved our stay - big rooms and bathrooms.
Keep in mind there are stairs - so not a choice if you can’t handle stairs!

My stay at the Inn on the Mile was one of the best that I could ask for. All of the staff was super helpful, the food was brilliant and best of all I felt safe as a single woman traveling alone to be able to have a drink or two and then go up to my room. The only thing I would note is there is no elevator so you will get a great stair workout!

Fabulous location. The rooms were a bit hard to access with luggage (no elevator, lots of stairs), but the rooms were very nice. Very expensive, not sure it was good value for the money.

What a gem! This hotel has everything and is located in the heart of the Royal Mile. Monica was so helpful when we checked in after a long travel day and took great care of us when we had breakfast and checked out. The beds were so comfortable, the bathroom felt like a spa and having a drink and dinner right downstairs was a bonus. My daughter and I were able to take in all the sights of the Royal Mile and enjoy the luxury of our room after a long day. Thank you for an enjoyable visit!
