The staff was friendly, the food delicious and it was a great location. Even though there is a lively restaurant/bar on the ground floor, there was no noise noticeable in our room. I would absolutely recommend a stay at Rabble while visiting Edinburgh!

Difficult to move luggage since there is no elevator. Our room was on ground level with window facing a small alley. There were a couple of drunken incidents at late night made our room stay a bit uneasy. Especially the hotel has no manpower between 1am to 7am.

We stayed on a Saturday night. It’s in the heart of Edinburgh so you would expect some noise from outside, however the sound of what seemed to bottles being tipped into glass recycling bins went on until after 1am. People singing and shouting outside went on until after 2am. The sound between rooms wasn’t great either, we could hear the voices of the couple next door to us. It is a lovely hotel and a great location and it was fine for one night, but be aware at weekends!
