During my stay I sustained an injury breaking three ribs! The staff were most concerned and helped me throughout a painful ordeal. I would like to thank each and everyone from the General Manger down for the support provided. What a superb team. Thank you.

Perfect location for an Edinburgh getaway

Great location, nice and comfortable rooms. The restaurant and bar gets very busy and loud at night, but as soon as you go upstairs to the rooms you can't hear anything

For what was effectively a room above a pub, what it lacked in finesse it more than made up for with the following: big fluffy white towels, hairdryer straighteners, big bed & coffee machine. Well stocked fridge, if required

The atmosphere of the hotel was excellent, the restaurant and bar had very good food options. There was no lift and there was no extractor in the bathroom, so the room felt quite humid.

Wonderful location for first time visitors. Staff is so lovely and check in and out fast. Very convenient to have the restaurant and bar downstairs! Tip - avoid first floor by cleaner closet or you’ll hear the door frequently in the early morning.

We spent five nights at the Hotel Rabble. Basically, the background noise (especially the filling and emptying of glass and garbage containers late at night and early in the morning) on the side street to which all windows face was very loud, so it was not possible to sleep well. Unfortunately, this is also due to the fact that the windows were not well isolated. The cleaning of the rooms was also only average, even though the rooms were modern and generously furnished. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the à la carte-breakfast was also delicious. The location of the hotel is absolutely great and all the sights were within walking distance and easily accessible by public transportation.
