Rabble Hotel - Edinburgh

Fashionable king room, large beds. Attentive and best staff, exceptional services with free wake up service and ironing. Magnificent location next door to St Andrew Square. Positioned in the nice enough area.

We ate at a really nice restaurant for dinner.

We had a savoury meal in the morning and some brilliant food at the cocktail bar.

Great staff, great location, and above all excellent bedding and linens.

Overbooking issue - inconvenient but resolved with great courtesy by hotel staff.

Request an early breakfast as they serve delicious options until late morning, perfect for a leisurely start to your day.

We stayed in the king room and appreciated it.

Location and friendly staff.

Horrendous noise every morning of garbage trucks and trucks crushing glass for recycling just outside your window,.

Great location. Great value. Friendly staff. Convenience and comfort. Rick's came recommended form my neioghbours who stayed some ten years ago. Great to see that the reputation has not waned at all over those years.

No one was available for 07.00am check out. This was minor but still an inconvenience.

The location was great, the ambience of the hotel was spot on and the staff were excellent.

The staff was excellent and the room was quite nice. Very big, comfortable bed.

The internet did not work as advertised. Also, the rooms are not air conditioned and even though it was only 55 degrees outside the room was quite hot. Couldn't open the windows because of the noise outside...

Vibrant bar scene that enhances the ambiance.

The noise from street activities at night was disruptive.

Location is perfect - you can walk to all sites and restaurants, bars, clubs are also within walking distance. We liked the original design of the hotel rooms (which you can see in the photos), and the staff were nice. The hotel is also used as a restaurant and bar attracting non- guests, so there is always a nice buzz.

Access is incredibly poor. To get to the bedrooms, you need to go through the bar and restaurant, literally 'through' them, as there is no separate corridor and you are crossing tightly packed tables etc with your luggage. You then get to a back door (no lift!!) that could be the entrance to the kitchen or to a toilet, and this leads you to the bedrooms via a shabby staircase - it really looks like a staircase to some toilet facilities - before you emerge to the bedroom corridors, whose design is actually good and thoughtful. Security is poor, with anyone from the bar potentially being able to get through to your bedroom corridor or hang around in the staircase. We were unimpressed! The rooms could also do with an update - the original design is very good, and there are nice touches, such as hair straighteners and gowns (though please get rid of the plastic flowers!), mixing modern/retro and oriental (dark woods, geometric upholstery etc). But our room was worn out, with lots of stains on the (biege) carpet and furnishing that had certainly seen better days. It really left us wondering how they can claim their 4 stars..

The staff were friendly, professional, and couldn't have been more welcoming in a relaxed way. Location excellent for shops, theatres etc. The room was extremely well equiped - ipod, hair straighteners, bathrobes, good quality bathroom products. Very good value for money,would definately use this hotel again.

pleasant stay with a few minor issues

The coffee machine in the room made mornings enjoyable, and the Dyson fan kept the space comfortable. The shower pressure was really good, and the cleanliness surpassed my expectations.

The room layout felt a bit cramped.

The quirky design of the room gave a fresh vibe, but the rooms held heat.
