Lots of fun things to see and do and just a nice place to hang out. Loads of lunch spots; we would recommend the Whiskey and Haggis arcade and suggest try the Robert Burns Famous Haggis with whiskey sauce; one portion is enough for 2 people.

The real St Mary's Close.
The real St Mary's Close. Amazing "Museum" which is actually a series of uncovered streets that were originally built beneath the current road, below the town. When the plague hit, the poor were entombed there. The history of it was mind-boggling. A must to see. The Mile itself just great to walk, stop, sip a drink or two. The Dome restaurant and Bars wonderous at Xmas. Fantastic array of external and internal Christmas lights, trees.

Loved walking up and down the Royal Mile, it was the Fringe Festival while were there, it was a hive of activity and street performers were dotted along the mile. There are also some interesting shops selling souvenirs, if that's your thing

DON'T go in peak season!
DON'T go in peak season! The historical interest is completely obfuscated by the crowds and tacky souvenir shops. Taking a walking tour with Mercat tours at least gives one interesting historical information

Hopefully you'll get a chance to walk the entire length.
Hopefully you'll get a chance to walk the entire length. Always a bustling area with lots of interesting things to do and see. Too much to list here. Check online. the Whisky adventure is a must for those who like a tipple, Camera Obscura at the castle end. Holyrood Palace and park at the other. Book the top end restaurants well in advance of your visit.

Location is perfect if arriving by train. Waverley station is 5 minute walk away. Rear exit of the hotel leads up steps directly onto the Royal Mile. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
A return visit to this property for us. We had a wonderful weekend (again). Fantastic location and views of the Royal Mile from front apartments. Beautiful room in historic building. Good pub and cafe in alley/courtyard just below. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Everything! Spotless hotel with super friendly staff, who can't do enough for you. Our Feature Room was simply stunning and massive with an upstairs bathroom!
Great for location, only a short walk from Princess Street and great for the Royal Mile too!
Location was good, right by the university (which I needed) and at the back of the National Museum, 2 minute walk to Royal Mile. Room was set up as a hotel room would be. Towels, shower gel, as there was a kitchen available there were pots, pans, plates, and plenty of cleaning supplies as necessary.
Everything was spot on at the hotel - special thanks to Miguel for giving us such a warm welcome and checking us in so efficiently. The room had a great view of Arthur's Seat. Perfectly located on the Royal Mile.
Bathrooms were really clean and exceeded my expectations for a hostel. And they were single toilets and bathrooms so you really weren't sharing it with anyone while you're using it. Location was unreal, it was only minutes walk from Princes street, Edinburgh castle and Royal mile. It was the main reason why I booked this place and it didn't disappoint. 24 hours reception is pretty handy too. Staff were really friendly as well.
Great location. Very central to all the main attractions. 2 mins to the Royal Mile, 10 mins to Colton hill and the castle, 1 min to the national gallery. Friendly staff. Hotel was very clean. Lovely comfortable bed. Modern bathroom with a big shower. Very quiet for such a central location. Not many chanels on the TV, but we weren't in the room very much to watch it. Would definitely recommend to others, and stay again.
Quiet clean apartment in a great location - right on the Royal Mile, just off Victoria Streat, within sight of the castle. We didn't meet Paul, but we got precise and detailed instructions about the entrance, wifi, washing machine... Perfect view (I loved sitting by the window and watching the surroundings). Almost all attractions were within walking distance. Comfortable bed (smaller size), clean sheets. Simple bathroom. Everything you need in the kitchen. We couldn't have asked for more
Breakfast was a highlight, different options were delicious. The location of the hotel is ideal, short walk from the station and just off the Royal Mile. Everything we needed was within a 10 minute walk.
The location was perfect, less than 5 minute walk to the Royal Mile, and just down the street from Bannermans which is a great alternative rock bar.
The hotel staff were so friendly, had a good laugh with them, and the rooms were clean, spacious and had very comfortable beds.
All in all, we had a great time and will absolutely stay there again.

Get away from the Royal Mile where tourists come to snap endless photos of token bag pipers wearing kilts
Get away from the Royal Mile where tourists come to snap endless photos of token bag pipers wearing kilts. Walk to the Stockbridge neighborhood, full of beautiful flats, interesting shops and cafes. Walk to the old side of the city underneath the castle for pub crawling.

Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood House with the new Parliament en route takes some beating in terms not just of historical content but also of ease of travel-it's a straight downhill walk
Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood House with the new Parliament en route takes some beating in terms not just of historical content but also of ease of travel-it's a straight downhill walk. On the way talk to people-some of the locals actually know a lot about their City and take a pride in it.

Giles on the Royal Mile is several hundreds of years old
St. Giles on the Royal Mile is several hundreds of years old. My family attended a pipe organ recital there one evening. What an awesome and thunderous sound that huge organ made, but could produce the most delicate melodies as well. Highly recommend taking some time to study the beautiful architecture as well as the gorgeous stained glass windows and the history surrounding this or any cathedral, for there is always a history to be known.

As a city Edinburgh is steeped in history, all the areas off the Royal Mile has a tale to tell
As a city Edinburgh is steeped in history, all the areas off the Royal Mile has a tale to tell. The city offers a number of good tours both by bus and feet for getting to know the past and how people lived. The city also offers an insight to famous personalities of the past such as Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Rabbie Burns
