The Inn On The Mile in Edinburgh: Photos and Reviews

The hotel occupies a 1923 Greek revival building that originally housed the British Linen Bank. It sits directly on the Royal Mile, a 10-minute walk from Edinburgh Castle and an 8-minute walk from the Scott Monument. Waverley Train Station is a 2-minute walk from the hotel, and the Airlink bus from Edinburgh Airport runs every 10 minutes to the city centre.

The hotel offers 9 boutique bedrooms, including Mile Double or Twin rooms and Royal Mile rooms. Each room includes GHD hair straighteners, a large flat-screen TV, a work desk, and a self-lockable safe. All bedrooms have luxury Aaran toiletries, dressing gowns, heated towel racks, and a bathroom controllable speaker system.

The hotel's ground-floor pub serves traditional Scottish fare with locally sourced ingredients, including free-range meat, poultry, and sustainable fish. Guests can choose from a wide selection of Scottish single malts, bespoke cocktails, and wine flights. Live music entertainment takes place every night in the pub, with performers playing until around 10:30 pm.

Guests booking directly through the hotel receive a complimentary drinks voucher. A 24-hour room service is available for guest convenience. The hotel provides luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, and the staff will carry luggage up the stairs for guests.
