Rabble is a really conveniently positioned accommodation. Rooms were clean, comfy beds, everything needed. We chose the vege breakfast, all very nice apart from the vege haggis, have had better. Staff all friendly and helpful.
Carole, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful hotel but could not sleep either night due to noise coming from downstairs when looked out window staff throwing bottles in bin and loud chats having a smoke at silly time of the morning

8/10 Very good

Cute and quirky little place

Very quirky entrance and you go through the restaurant and bar to get to the hotel rooms, which felt a little strange but super friendly staff. Corridors and stairwells felt a bit too dark and smelt a bit damp but room was nicely equipped and clean enough. Floor was very uneven and creaky and upstairs above us was very loud, you could hear every footstep. We were room 7. Breakfast was really nice and overall we would recommend as the price was very good and location was only 15 mins walk to the main streets and Waverley train station.
Leanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely boutique hotel, clean fresh rooms, the staff were wonderful, great breakfast and a lovely relaxed vibe in the evening for cocktails. Very central. The only reason I’ve given them a 4 for facilities and not 5 is that our room was on the third floor, 6 flights of steps with no lift. Difficult at 65 with a bad hip. The room overlooked the back alley, and you heard the loud noise of empty bottles being emptied into the skip. But that aside I would stay here again….but would ask for a lower floor. The manager and staff were great

Fint men väldigt varmt rum

Fint rum, bra läge. Mycket att välja på till frukost. Men det tar tid att äta frukost. Tips! Fyll på kaffet. Istället för nya koppar. Låt gästerna ta kaffe själva.

Fijn en gezellig hotel met beneden een groot restaurant en gezellige bar op een toplocatie. Personeel was heel aardig en behulpzaam. Schoonmaak was top. Veel extra's op de kamer zoals gratis koffie,thee en water en veel gratis badkamerartikelen. Goed bed Heel fijn hotel, van alle gemakken voorzien.

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.

Highly recommend

One night stay for a rugby match. Clean comfortable , lots of extras in the room. Great breakfast
Siobhan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

Kelly, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Sofía, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
