Good rooms, well located hotel. No lobby area to speak of and I would not recommend their restaurant. I ended up having to walk and eat somewhere else, as my main plate never showed up.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean, nicely decorated and cosy. It was in a fantastic location, and really walkable to all main attractions. There was a bar/restaurant downstairs which had a lively atmosphere (and shows sport on a big screen), but the rooms were soundproofed really well and you couldn’t tell if that isn’t your sort of thing. We were able to keep our bags safe at the hotel before check-in and after check-out as well, which was great due to travel times. Would definitely return to this hotel!

It was a very nice boutique hotel. The food was quite nice and staff very accommodating. The hike up the 3 floors was something we had to get prepared to do each day! Only 3 rooms all the way up there, 2 other floors with 3 each so you can request a lower floor. It is located on the Royal Mile and everything is so close! Great spot for our short 4 day adventure.

The room was spacious including most amenities needed. The breakfast is not a buffet style, but has very good selections and they are delicious. Most nights, the pub has live music, which is a plus. From the room, the view of the city is beautiful, and the hotel is perfectly located; walking distance to major tourist attractions and many restaurants with a variety of cuisines are all at walking distance. Also, there are a few supermarkets and convenient stores (open 24 hours) a few feet away, which is great for travelers.

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.
