I've don't know if there's been a change of management, but my experience of this hotel is nowhere near as positive as the other reviews. We booked three rooms through lastminute, two of which were supposed to be doubles with en-suite. I rang the hotel to check that this was ok and they confirmed. When we arrived we had three rooms all with shared facilities and twin rather than double. The manager was polite (just), but insistent that no mistake had been made, even though he had lost his booking sheet. His only suggestion was that he'd try and help find another hotel as they were fully booked (it was during the festival and so there was no way any other hotels would be available). No offer of refunds were made. I know hotels are expensive during the festival, but over £100 a night was really expensive. I'm in the process of making a complaint through lastminute as we paid through them.
The website said it's been 'recently refurbished' - no it hasn't and certainly needs a make-over. Some of the TVs in the room didn't even work in colour, had no remote, were impossibly high on the walls and couldn't be seen from the beds.Otherwise, the rooms were clean and well-serviced. Breakfast was OK but nothing special. We didn't eat there in the evenings. The location's fine, though it's a good 20 minute walk into the centre, but good bus services. Being able to park for free is a plus.
All in all, not good service and over-priced.

This hotel is next to our daughters uni accommodation so was just the place for us. Nice rooms, food superb, Guinness to die for. Everyone must have a pint of Guinness from the Ardmillan before they die. All in all fully recommended.
Be back soon,

My husband and I stayed at the Ardmillan on a short 3 day trip to Scotland during the Fringe. We loved our stay at the hotel. It was far enough away from the bustle of the city that it was relaxing yet close enough to get to everything pretty quickly. The hotel is small but this was one of the things we loved about it and the hotel pub is great. If we ever get a chance to go back to Edinburgh we will be staying at the Ardmilliam. Also, the staff was great.

the staff at this hotel were so helpful and friendly. even though i am disabled i can manage a few stairs so i was able to cope a this hotel. the wonderful breakfast really set you up for the day, but on the evenings that we were eating late, there bacon and brie pannini was smashing, and filled the gap. although the rooms werent huge they were adaquate, and really clean. Even on the day that we wanted to take it easy in the morning before going to the tattoo in the evening they rearranged the schedule to clean our rooms after we all went out. Thank you one and all for a great holiday.
