Inn on the Mile in Edinburgh, City of

Stopped in for breakfast. The avocado toast was delicious!

Stayed here 1st - 4th November in room no. 3. Considering it was definitely not a cheap hotel I expected this to be a nice stay. Unfortunately the rooms where far from clean. The bathroom was very dirty especially the shower area. The towels got replaced every day but the bins only got emptied on the 3rd day and where full by that time. The bed sheets where dirty and never seen an iron also the mattresses kept sliding apart as they where 2 single beds which was very unfortunate. The room definitely needs an air freshener as it doesn’t smell the nicest! Great location but very disappointed with the rest.

Great location for a stay, made our holiday much easier and much more enjoyable. The location is fantastic and lended itself to easy access after long days of exploring the city. Food was decent, beer was decent, staff was excellent, overall really enjoyed our time staying here and would absolutely do so again.

My wife and I stayed at the Inn on the Mile for our honeymoon and were unpleasantly surprised with the quality of the room given the price paid. In general, the room seemed to be unkempt and in a state of ill repair given one night cost over 300 pounds. We would like to say that the staff were friendly during our stay. I was injured by the window which wouldn't stay open and which slammed down on my index finger. It seemed to be in a state of disrepair. As we couldn't open the window, and with the air conditioning seemingly broken, the room was stiflingly hot and neither of us slept. Beyond this, the toilet seat mismatched the toilet, meaning we essentially were sat on the porcelain which was quite disgusting, while the toilet roll holder was extremely loose and the bathroom grouting was in dire need of repair. Altogether, this only reinforced the poor quality of the room that was completely inappropriate given the price paid. Our reason for choosing the hotel was a prior stay for my wife's 21st birthday a few years back, when we had an excellent stay and the staff were very attentive, pulling out all the stops. I noted this on the booking and was astonished to find there was no note, no special extras nor any acknowledgement of any kind that we were previous guests who had just gotten married. This is of course not essential, but given the cost of the room, our previous business and our perception of the hotel quality, it was surprising that this was ignored and left us feeling taken for granted, particularly given our previous excellent experience. Meanwhile the room lacked any complimentary prosecco as specified in the booking. In general, following our stay, I find it hard to recommend the hotel to friends and family despite previously having a wonderful stay. I found the room to be expensive, rough around the edges and the general attitude seemed to be one of indifference to us as guests, to mention nothing about my injury as a result of the poor keeping of the room. I am surprised and upset that the standards of such a well known hotel in which we previously loved to stay at have fallen so far in such a short time. Particularly worrisome is the fact that I have reached out four times to the hotel to complain (3 emails, 1 phone call) and they have failed to respond on any occasion - there is no good reason for not responding to customer complaints in 2024. This only reinforces my feeling that this hotel takes their guests for granted and rides almost entirely on the position of the hotel in a tourist hot-spot, charging extortionate prices for poorly kept and hazardous rooms.

Very good breakfast in a very nice place and a lovely waiter!

Pub located on the Royal Mile. Food was very tasty and the portions were good. Went there on a Tuesday and it was already very busy. Highly recommend this location

Had a fantastic experience served by Joe. Great value for what you get and significantly cheaper than other restaurants in the area. Relaxed atmosphere with delicious food (we had the haggis and shared nachos) and lots of drink options to choose from. Would absolutely recommend eating here if you are looking for something on the Royal Mile.

Only tried the restaurant, which is very good. The dishes are well prepared, good looking and tasty. There was also live music that evening.

A very uncomfortable hotel, especially for the upper floors There is no elevator The reception is not cooperative. 👎

Unfortunately, this restaurant has been the most disappointing restaurant & drinks for our entire time in Edinburgh. Took forever to get the drinks and food, the drinks were awful, and the food is very mediocre with not a large selection to choose from. Staff basically forgot we existed and hardly checked on us for any water refills.

Perfect location and beautiful rooms. Tasty cocktails.

Vastly overpriced and the female bartender needs to learn how to pour a pint and not get stroppy when asked if she can at least put a head on the pint she had just poured,if looks could kill,myself and my group would've been dead. Tourist trap!

Very nice place, with live music.

Had breakfast here, the staff were very quick and friendly! The location of the inn is nice as it was right on the royal mile. The breakfast itself was lovely and the prices weren't too dear either.

Excellent friendliness and service; the room is perhaps a little too modern.

Modern bar. Sports broadcasts on large screens. Live Music. Right on the Royal Mile.

This is an adorable restaurant with a handful of rooms above it. The room was good-sized, clean and well decorated. The staff was kind and helpful. Breakfast was included and was delicious. The location is excellent—right on the Royal Mile but still within a block of the train station. It was my favorite hotel the entire trip even compared to fancier ones we stayed at.

Wonderful location. Breakfast is awesome. Room (we were in #3) is very nice, but a little tight.

Great bar with lovely decor and a chance of a seat on a busy Saturday

Went to the restaurant for breakfast. The food was very good but service was terrible. Forgetting orders, waiting too long for sauces at the table and the bill. For a long period of time only appeared to have person behind the bar and nobody on the floor

There was 9 of us for a meal the manager reserved tables together for us There was little choice on the menu the food was medicore pub grub The small dishes that were starters were actually bigger than main meals The service is slow, maybe because there were 9 of us Choose this hotel because of the location And reading previous reviews that food was really good and hotel was quiet We had little sleep there was a dance club near the hotel and we could hear the thumping of techo music till about 2am and outside the window we had pigeons cooing and tapping window The staff were nice Breakfast was top class Pity the meal the night before let them down Rooms are opulent, to look at but not practical the bath tub was enormous I was looking forward to soaking in a luxary bubble bath, but unfortunately, being on the small side I could not get in it Loved the hotel and the atmosphere The location is great The rooms are beautifull there was no lift, which I was aware of but I just didn't imagine so many stairs It's an old building with high ceilings with only 9 rooms so I didn't expect so many stairs We were on top floor 3 flights up and at 72 with breathing problems. I found it a struggle If I stay there again, I will request a first-floor and book my evening meal in another restaurant

Great hotel in the perfect location to explore Edinburgh.

Made a specific booking to watch a football friendly which required a £10 deposit to secure a table. Arrived and no table had been reserved for us which had the bar been busier, would have caused a problem. 10 minutes before kick-off, the manager attempts to put the game on despite already missing all the buildup which had started at 7pm. After the game was due to kick-off we asked what was going on and the manager was hesitant to apologise and took no responsibility. Since the booking for specifically for the friendly match we left in disappointment. Astonished that the bar took a deposit for the game to secure a table yet had not set aside a table for us nor were actually showing the game.

Made a booking at the pub to watch a football as it was advertised as showing the game. When we got there it seemed like they had no record of our booking, and just took us to a random open table - which was fine as it wasn’t too busy but still a bit strange, especially as during the booking process we had to pay a deposit for the table (even just for a table for 2). They weren’t showing the game when we first got there, even though the pregame coverage had started. We waited and about 10 minutes before kickoff they tried to start putting the match on - couldn’t manage. Kick off came and went. Asked several staff members and they said they were trying to get it on. Finally decided to leave and spoke to the manager - he was not very helpful or apologetic just said they were trying. Not their fault if they’re having technical difficulties but was overall a disappointing experience and felt that they weren’t responsive. Maybe next time it’s advertised that something will be shown, better to make sure everything works more than 10 minutes before it starts.

Just a lovely hotel in old town, in the middle of city Center ! The staff are amazing extremely helpful, but there are not lift, so not suitable for disable people

Great place - fantastic room and location especially for the price in central Edinburgh. Staff really helpful and friendly, especially Maan at breakfast, who went to buy oat milk for my coffee when it ran out (in the rain)! Very kind and very much appreciated, would def recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city.

Just met up with friends for a drink.

Good for drinks, didn't have food. Only downside was the hen do's vaping in the bar - why do folk (they were well over 50!) think its acceptable to vape inside when drinking 🙄

No steak pie! Not just today by the way, they don't do steak pie ever! Could be the only place in Edinburgh (possibly Britain) doesnt have steak pie. End of story really. See ya. Have a nice day.

Fantastic pub and brilliant live music.

Went in for food great place service top notch recommended for everyone

Came here for a drink on Monday night while on holiday, great music, variety of drinks and friendly staff.

Central location , staff were attentive. We had decided to have full meal here, we ordered drinks and 2 small plates for starters. Loaded fries and nachos.... These were not small, once we finished these couldn't eat anything else. Price was great too, I thought it would be a lot more expensive than it is. We will definitely be back.

We’ve stayed here twice on various trips and it remains our go-to! Rooms are spacious and clean. The restaurant/ bar is always fun. Location cannot be beat!

Disappointed with the standard of service. Observed the waitress double dip straw into drink to ‘test’. Disgusting. The mojito we ordered was basically a lime and soda drink. The atmosphere and entertainment were excellent but customer service is a big let down.

Had breakfast here on Saturday morning - very nice breakfast and fast service. Expensive for what it was, in my opinion, but it is in the city centre and on the Royal Mile so it was a similar price to other places in this particular area.

Absolut grottige Cocktails :-( Old Fashion schmeckt wie ein alter Lederschuh & viel zu süß

Duur, luidruchtig, slechte akoestiek, onnodig onvriendelijk en kortaf barpersoneel (wat zeer atypisch is in Edinburgh). Hebben de klanten duidelijk niet nodig, dus laten we dan ook maar wegblijven met zijn allen.

Drinks and food were FABULOUS. Service super friendly and efficient. Our server Dimitrio was attentive and one of the best servers we encountered during our time in Edinburgh. Worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.

We had an amazing experience today at the inn on the mile. We where lucky to get a table, with Edinburgh being really full and busy. The Food and drinks were delicious, but the most amazing part about our experience was our waiter, Euan. Euan did an amazing job at making us feel really welcomed and cared for. He is such a kind person and was always checking in on us. Thanks to Euan we had a really nice experience. <3

What a terrible experience. We. went in at about 9:30pm, after visiting a few pubs in the area we decided to have a coffee to wake us up a little. The place was not busy, about 10 people, all of which were eating. They had 3 staff, one waiting tables one behind the bar and one on hot drinks. We sat down, and after 40 mins no one had come to see us so I went to the bar. I ordered two lattes, that are a little expensive at over £4 each. Sat down and waited for the drinks. They arrived in what can only be described as small cappuccino cups, overflowing which sloshed onto the saucers when placed at the table. Both drinks were warm at best and didn't really taste great. Normally I would have said something and refused to pay, but we were on holidays and didn't want to cause any grief. Terrible service and terrible coffee

Had a lovely evening meal at the Inn on the Mile last week. Last minute, didn't book, but luckily there was a table. Excellent service and fantastic meal for a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere. Loved the pink glass lights!

Lively bar/restaurant. Booked in for food and to watch the boxing. On arrival found last had actually even penned us in (even tho we booked inside the restaurant with her the day before) but luckily was able to get a seat. All service at the bar Food reasonably, but. Upon having the turkey toast for £18. Only 2 tiny potatoes and not even a Yorkshire pudding so not great value for money Overall. Ok for a drink.

beautiful room that was stocked up with tea coffee & even a few sweet treats for us to enjoy! Staff were very helpful & the dinner was absolutely delicious.. will definitely be back!

Positives - City centre which is great for if just wanting to have a look around the old town and historical places. Staff are great & very helpful if looking to book anywhere for dinner, recommendations & even to help find a taxi for our trip back to airport. Breakfast was beautiful with an amazing full cooked Scottish breakfast that I wish I could have let my family taste back home!

Thank you to all the staff who helped us celebrate a friends birthday yesterday, you all went above and beyond, everyone was so warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, 10/10 will be recommending your exemplary service to everyone 😊

Have stayed here before, this time the breakfast was not so good, you couldn’t take off the full English th8ngs you didn’t like or want, shame as I had to settle for bacon an pancakes, which was a disappointment, as the bacon was undercooked an covered in white slime, should have been streaky bacon well cooked with pancakes. The full English the black pudding my husband couldn’t eat as so over cooked, staff was friendly, room was lovely but bed was.like climbing Mount Everest far too high, although comfortable. Room 6

The room was very nicely appointed. The location of the hotel is ideal. HOWEVER, the hotel is located with a side alley which has a disco. The disco-bar operates until 3:00 a.m. and patrons exit into the street and continue yelling, singing and making noice until around 4:00 a.m. Every single night of my stay was a nightmare. The phone did not call out to any desk management or police. Received no assistance. Took days before we could catch up on much needed rest. Avoid this place if you're in need of sleep.

We stopped by twice. Once just for drinks, the second time for lunch. Food was good, though the Croque Monsieur was cooler than it should have been. If it had been warmer we'd probably give it a 5 star as it was tasty.

We had a group dinner in the charming bar and were very pleased with the service and food. The servers did their jobs efficiently and also had a sense of humor which we appreciated.

We popped in here as was quiet whilst everywere else seemed rammed on a bank holiday weekend. Price as expected in a tourist area was on the more expensive side. The items we wanted were not available, which given current climate is understandable. When we did order they got three out of four meals wrong which is a tad annoying. The haggis was the worst I have had on Scotland since arriving (I've only had it four times admittedly). Very disappointing

Was recommended and did not disappoint. Food was well prepared and portions were the right size. The haggis was nice but the Johnnie Walker sauce was amazing. They should bottle and sell that! The service was excellent.

Excellent drinks, service and live music on a Saturday evening with girl friends. Fantastic location. Full bar and cocktails menu will not disappoint. Guitar/cover music added to the ambiance, with space to dance if you want. Great staff too

We arrived for our 1pm pre-booked table on Mon 15th Nov to be promptly told by a very nonchalant, smug young lady that there was no food today. I got no apology or even explanation why the food was unavailable that day. I have read...

Great place, very modern and good drinks listing Looks like there may even be live music from time to time

Ci siamo fermate qui quasi per caso a cena e siamo rimaste molto soddisfatte. Il menù è abbastanza tipico e...

Food was expensive for what we were served. We both had the traditional fish and chips with mushy peas, which we’d had a few times throughout our 6 week trip to the UK. This was supposed to be the main meal size (there were two size choices) but the fish was far from generous, the chip serving size scant and the mushy peas were served in a paper container the size of a medicine cup! The fish itself was thin inside the somewhat overcooked batter, therefore dry. In hindsight, we should have sent our meals back!! There are plenty of eateries in Edinburgh and the rest of our experiences were great; it’s a shame that this wasn’t one of those.

We found the Inn on the Mile on our first evening, staff seemed friendly, menu was ok, several choices (I only remember burger/fish n chips) and I think there was also a board offering a sunday roast beef?We decided to have the Balmoral Chicken, which is chicken breast stuffed with haggis wrapped in bacon, dauphinoise potatoes and green beans/mangetout, served with a whiskey cream sauce, all in all in was very delicious!! The haggis 'stuffing' was just enough for non haggis eaters to say that they'd tried it - I thought it was ok, a little crumbly but the yummy whiskey cream sauce helped with that. All our food was hot and looked good.We did wait a little while for our food but I think we'd come in the same time as another group. I can't comment on any of the other foods, but everyone around us seemed to be enjoying what they were eating. On another visit I would eat here again.

Aunque era reticente, me dejé llevar por mis amigos y entramos. al estar situado en Royal Mile pensé que iba a ser el típico lugar para turistas, mala calidad y alto precio. No fue así. Para empezar buen servicio, rapidez y también buena comida. Precio asequible. Una buena opción con carta variada, incluso de picoteo con unos nachos, ensaladas...

I found the food here quite average and not a lot of variety. The service was good and friendly but the menu and kitchen need a spruce up.

Esta fue una gran parada para nosotros. . . . El primer día que acabamos de llegar para tomar un par de cervezas (después de un largo vuelo) tienen una gran selección de cervezas, sidras y licores. nuestra camarera Amy siempre nos estaba vigilando y muy amable. El segundo día volvimos a desayunar. El desayuno era excelente y no demasiado caro. Ruth fue muy amable y agradable. Yo recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera.

Nos detuvimos para comer algo a la hora del almuerzo. Los techos altos hacen que el lugar se sienta ligero y aireado. Hay la opción de mesas y cabinas regulares. Tomamos algunas de las cervezas locales y la fuente de The Ploughman. Realmente disfrutamos esto: una sabrosa variedad de carnes y quesos y la cantidad justa para 3 personas. El personal fue amable y atento. Un buen lugar para un bocado si exploras la Royal Mile.

Sehr nettes Personal, leckere Cocktails die auch sehr ansprechend aussahen und auch das Essen hat richtig gut geschmeckt. Die Lage ist natürlich auch super.

Das Inn liegt direkt an der Royal Mile und eignet sich perfekt für einen Apéritif oder eine Kaffeepause. Zum Essen hat uns die warme, herzliche Atmosphäre ein wenig gefehlt.

Gran menú Haggis! Opté por el pescado y las patatas fritas. Porciones generosas y el pescado estaba rebozado y frito a la perfección. Maravilloso lugar para almorzar o cenar mientras paseas por "la Royal Mile" (¿Y mencioné que nuestra camarera, Julie, fue agradable, divertida y servicial!). Algunos buenos restaurantes y luego más visitas turísticas.

The weather was not kind with our visit to the Fringe this year, so everywhere was busy. Anywhere we passed with windows you could see into was packed. So we crossed the road & went into see if they had space for 8 people. We were lucky 2 days running at lunch time. It was busy but not packed. The food was good, soup & sandwich deal the first day & potato skins the second day. The staff were busy, but not rushed off their feet & the wait for the food was not too long. You can not see how full the place is without going in. So I would think many people walk past. Nice pub with good food.

An amazing two day visit ,we ordered side dishes Dauphine potato simply the best ,Julie our host Amazing,she noticed my bum bag as I was ordering a drink ,sticky toffee pudding not too rich ,good portions ,a very pleasant day ,my friend has stayed before ,would recommend the hotel

It's a great place for breakfast, or a light meal during the day. The staff are very efficient and one of them in particular, Julie, was always really friendly, helpful and professional. People make a place, and so Inn on the Mile is special

I came for lunch one day on my travels to Edinburgh and what a find! Beautiful building, decor and staff are so attentive! I ordered the soup and toastie deal for £10 and as soon as I smelt the soup my mouth started to water... absolutely delicious lentil soup and a toastie to dunk into it! I can honestly say it was like being back home, as it was as good as my mums! Please sir can I have some more!!!

Nice clean friendly restaurant.Staff very attentive .but I would have like to be advised that fish portion is really Very Small. On saying that it was very nice but too Small

Sadly, our main waitress was very nice and warm, but other than that the experience was horrible. Paid £14 for a pie that seemed microwaved, and had been advertised with skin on chips but was given about 7 oven wedges, and the 'summer greens' was again probably from frozen, measly green beans. So disappointing.

Julie our waitress is fabulous, friendly, charming and so personable. We had great food and drinks. She made the stay special.

This was a very pleasant place to spend a rainy Sunday morning in Edinburgh, the service was friendly and the food and drink was good, the food a little expensive for what it was, but no more than you would really expect for a breakfast in the centre of a city. It was not too busy, but still had plenty of life to it, and I spent quite a long time there without being hurried out, so I would definitely visit again in the future!

As soon as we walked in we were made to feel welcome, spent a while talking whiskey with the supervisor.They have a good selection. Even though it is tattoo month we could book a table for the saturday night. The food and service was excellent and we had a good laugh with Avril about haggis hunting. Totally recommend this place.

This is part of The Raddison Blue. We usually steer clear of the hotel chains but they had outdoor seating for breakfast. The location is great, on the mile, the food good and service was fine.

Brasserie resto d’un hôtel de quatre étoiles Belle carte pour les petits déjeuners Service rapide en plein centre ville

Julie made us feel welcome on arrival for our breakfast, the food was fantastic and Julie was charming and very attentive. She gave helpful recommendations on drink choices and was never out of reach when we needed her.

The restaurant here is always good, & my server, Julie was wonderful! Very helpful & attentive service!

Awesome location, great atmosphere, really good vegetarian options and the coffee was delicious. Julie took care of us and was very pleasant and accommodating.

I had lunch there and the burger was great. The service by my waitress, Julie, was even better. She was outstanding.

After exploring beautiful Scotland for 1,5 weeks, we were happy to sit down for a meal at the Inn on the Mill. Julie, our fabulous waitress, made the experience even more fun! Her recommendations on drinks were spot on, as if she’d known us for years.

Decidí venir aquí para un almuerzo tardío un domingo. Estaba bastante ocupado pero el servicio seguía siendo bueno.

Menyen ga inntrykk av et godt tilbud. Etter hvert viste det seg at de ikke hadde det vi ønsket. Tok en annen rett, men den inneholdt ikke det som stod i menyen. Vinen som vi ønsket hadde de heller ikke. Den vi fikk var veldig lett og lite å skryte av. Alt i alt et dårlig måltid. Betjeningen burde visst hva de hadde eller ikke. Absolutt burde de ikke komme tilbake tre ganger for å beklage at de vi ønsket, det hadde de ikke. Ingen god lunchopplevelse.

Went here last night as Nephew heard a james song playing, only wanted one beer, but stayed till closing, the band were absolutely brilliant, rounded off our short holiday perfectly. Wish we had caught the bands name before leaving

i am old enough to remember when this was a bank, we only had drinks, we were offered a table by some people who were just leaving and thought that the table was messy just because of this, but on looking around it was all a bit of a mess, drinks were okay, but would not hurry back

I came to this restaurant on the Royal Mile

Best server ever! Had a wonderful time, good food great drinks. Julie was very nice and took great care of us!

Mi esposo y yo nos hospedamos en el hotel sobre Inn on the Mile y pudimos ver el desayuno, el almuerzo y la cena servidos varias veces. El ambiente siempre fue animado y cálido. El personal del restaurante / bar es muy amable y servicial. Cenamos un domingo para que la cuna de mi marido tuviera el domingo asado, ¡y estaba delicioso! Tuve la hamburguesa de pollo, también genial! Su menú de bebidas es súper creativo, ¡quería probarlos todos! ¡Hay un bonito patio exterior que es excelente para observar a la gente! Los precios eran muy razonables también!
