Royal Mile Residence comprises eight apartments in an old tenement on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's Old Town. This location has advantages since it's in the heart of the City, almost opposite St Giles Cathedral and therefore central to lots of sightseeing. But there are considerable downsides in being so central and they mostly come down to noise late into... More

Gorgeous, real luxury and right in the middle of the royal mile. I had to check in at a hostel around the corner so i started to worry thinking thats where we had to stay but then they gave us the keys and directed us to the apartments. It is a very old building full of history and very typical... More

If you're looking for a lovely place in the heart of Scotland's capital then the Royal Mile Resident is great accommodation if you can sleep through hurricanes, and enjoy waking up at the crack of dawn. The windows are single glazed which means you can hear everything happening in the streets below. From chanting, shouting, bottle breaking drunks at 3am... More

Nice view, Noise from the bars until 4 AM Wake up at 8 AM to a lovely scream of children from the nursery below until 6 PM. Single glazed windows will keep you aware ,where you are all the times. Good luck!!!!

These are apartments superbly located on the Royal Mile. The actual reception is round the corner. If you book the property you should remember this to avoid confusion. The issue with this apartment is that the flats are located in a building with no lift. You can only get the rooms through a very steep ladder with all your luggage.... More

Absolutely loved our stag weekend stay at the Royal Mile Residence, you cant beat the location it is absolutely excellent. If like me you are a people watcher, then getting up early and watching tourists etc whilst having a coffee in the window seats is what weekends away are made for! Clean, the ability to cook your own breakfast etc,... More

With RMR, you cannot beat the location - it's just a block away from St. Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile. We had apartment 7 - one bedroom faced the Royal Mile and the other face the back alley. Overall it was perfect for our trip - very clean and comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen... More

We managed to get 10 people comfortably in the living room / kitchen area for a party one night. The staff at the recpetion were really helpful, even helping me carry round food and drinks I'd had delivered from ASDA for... More
