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.

This is a great hostel in Edinburgh! The location is amazing. It’s right next to the castle and the royal mile. Each bed has a plug and a little shelf to set your phone and stuff while it’s charging overnight. The lockers were a good size. You can fit a whole packed backpack inside. In my room, there was a little sitting area to get ready without being in the way of others. Breakfast was basic, but good. Lots of great amenities.
The property is centrally located on the Royal Mile but was generally quiet due to good soundproofing. The little studio apartment was extremely clean and it was useful to have a washer/dryer machine and a kitchenette with dishwasher. The gym was large and well-equipped for a hotel gym, particularly for weight lifting. There were treadmills and rowing machines.
The location really can’t be beat for visiting Edinburgh. Right in the heart of the Royal Mile. The apartment was clean and well appointed.
It’s a multistory walkup, so be prepared for that. And it may seem strange to pickup the keys at a pizza place, but it totally makes sense once you do it. Just make sure you knock on the door and don’t stand outside waiting for something to happen. Like we did.
The location is extremely central, especially if you're arriving by train. The hotel is just a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley station. It's also a quick and pleasant walk to the Royal Mile. The room was spacious and clean and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely stay again if I'm ever back in Edinburgh.
Location is perfect to visit Edinburgh. Came in on a late train to Waverly Station and its a 5 minute walk to the hotel. Walking distance to Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and wonderful food and other sights.
It is a very well located apartment, if you don't have problems with walking a little, it is very close to everything, in our case we went to Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and Princes Street on foot. The apartment is super comfortable, we were four people and up to eight can stay, which means that we were very comfortable.
This is a great hotel located near the Royal Mile....maybe a 10 minute walk. We were treated like royalty by the staff. They were so kind and helpful! We loved the breakfast too! This is an easy pick for a great location and home base in Edinburgh.
Excellent location -- in the heart of historic Edinburgh. Easy walk from the train station, and close to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, Royal Mile, etc. No meals served in the hotel, but you did get a discount for meals at very good restaurant and pub just across the street. My room and private bath were quite nice, and very clean. I was able to send out my laundry in the morning and have it back that evening.
The location was central, Royal Mile was right outside
There is a Tesco very close by as well
The room was spacious and had every single amenity that would be required for a hotel apartment and it was good quality
The Brewers Rooms Contemporary Aparthotel was in an excellent location and just a short walk to the Royal Mile, Victoria Street, and Edinburgh Castle. The apartment was a good size with two bedrooms, commons space, and bathroom; it was clean and had a cute little kitchenette. The Altido management group was always available and responded quickly if we needed anything. Of note-They do use a keyless entry with your phone, so having a phone with data is helpful.

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
