This is a unique hotel in a fabulous location. However it is three rooms to a floor and has nine floors but NO elevator!!! We were assigned a room on the 9th floor! However the bar staff assisted us with all our luggage.
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.
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 boutique hotel that is within a 10-minute walk from the bus station and located on the Royal Mile. Centrally located to all of the sites. Our room was spacious and loved the large bathroom. Great breakfast selection and staff were very friendly. Highly recommend this hotel yet you need to be able to do stairs as there are no elevators at this location.
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.
The property was a perfect location for shopping, restaurants etc. It does not have a lift (elevator) but they brought the luggage up to the room. If you cannot do stairs they would not work for you. The staff was very nice and the room was large, clean and very comfortable.
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.
I loved the property and location. It was a shame I was unable to stay for two nights.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The lack of elevator is not highlighted. 40-60 steps are a lot for many people. Even though I know now, I still can’t find it stated
Room very nice, staff very nice. Location good except can be noisy
Great location. Did not realize rooms were above a pub, so no other shared areas. 80 steps to our room on top floor. Nice decor and very comfortable. Helpful staff. Good breakfast.
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.
Lovely staff.
Hotel is in a great location. Breakfast was delicious.
We stayed in room 8 which is on the top floor. The room was small but well equipped. The bed was very comfortable.
Beautiful boutique hotel. Comfortable beds, room was clean. Well located. Just know there’s no elevator (lift) but Joe was very kind to help me with my luggage. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
