    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! 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.

    Hostel has a great location right at The Royal Mile, so close to most attractions and to bus and train station. Personel is friendly and provides additional activities. They have towels inclided in price. It is a typical backpacker place with kitchen access. Place is not to big, but works fine for people on budget.

    Located very close to the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, the location of the hotel is great. However, the room was VERY small, as was the bathroom. There was moderate noise overnight from outside, and the room did not have a refrigerator at all. Staff were helpful and friendly, and the bar had a good selection of drinks. We didn't use the restaurant.

    We enjoyed a lovely 5 nights at our Canongate apartment as a family of 3. The apartment was perfect for our needs... spacious, separate lounge and kitchen with washing machine and radiator heaters to keep us warm. The location was great at the bottom of the Royal Mile and was easy to walk to everything.

    We were greeted by very efficient staff who made us feel very welcome, hotel was beautiful. I'm a Breakfast lover and can say that breakfast was fantastic and the Haggis was the best I've ever tasted. I would highly recommend the parking Offred by hotel just made whole visit seamless. Location was excellent turn left a few minutes away from Royal Mile , Turn right your on George street with all the wonderful shops and restaurants.

    We really enjoyed the property, the location is amazing! It was so comfortable and homely (new carpets, quality bedding, comfortable sofa), and the kitchen was very well set up to feed my little family. There was plenty of space in the apartment, which was a really lovely surprise considering the location: Being able to just get home from the royal mile in less than a minute to a secure, comfortable property was priceless for us. It's just perfect for a family in that way.
