About Rabble Hotel
Located in Frederick Street, the hotel is in a perfect central location, whether guests are visiting the city for a business break or a weekend getaway. Frederick Street is located off the city's premier shopping district - George Street, only minutes from boutique and high street shops alike.
The hotel is equidistant to the East and West ends of the city, approximately 12 km from Edinburgh International Airport and a mere 5 minutes from Edinburgh Waverley Train Station. Glasgow International Airport is about 87 km away. This stylish city hotel has a total of 10 rooms.
The premises are air-conditioned and guests are welcomed in a lobby. There is also a restaurant. Guests can take advantage of the Internet access and room service (the latter incurs an additional fee). The hotel offers the perfect antidote to unwelcoming corporate hotel chains.
From the elegant walnut headboards to the enticing angora and lamb's wool blankets on the king-size beds, these are stylish Edinburgh hotel rooms. Each room has an en suite bathroom with a shower, bath and a hairdryer.

LISA
Friendly staff, lovely small hotel in the centre of Edinburgh with a lovely restaurant and bar. Would definitely stay again
Lishia
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.
Fiona
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!

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.

One night stay for a rugby match. Clean comfortable , lots of extras in the room. Great breakfast
JANICE
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

Henriette
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
Verified traveler
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

Diana
Really friendly staff who could not do enough for you. Only slight downside is the bed was not that comfortable. The mattress was uncomfortable. Sorry.
Patricia
Fantastic helpful staff, amazing cocktail menu, beautiful decor, comfy bed and well appointed room.

Alice
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
Paddy
Hotel was ace, very comfortable, friendly and great service. Highly recommend to stay as close to centre and the bar/restaurant is quirky!!
Linda
Annual Xmas visit with the girls.
An amazing experience staying at this very friendly hotel, in a prime location. Food outstanding. Staff go above and beyond to meet your needs. We enjoyed it that much already booked for same time next year.
Carole
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.
Leanne
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.

Nice quirky hotel. The rooms were really good with a lot of amenities. The only thing that let us down was the music in the bar area. Was to loud to have a proper conversation with someone.
Lindsey
The restaurant in the hotel was phenomenal! Every meal I ate here was delicious. It is walking distance from shopping, historical sites, and I loved the overall vibe. I will definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone coming to Edinburgh.
Gary
Friendly & welcoming staff, clean & tidy room and comfy bed
Gordon
A gem of a place
Used to stay here when it was Rick’s, (that dates me). It was a good place then but it is an even better place now. The formerly loud bar on the ground floor now has a well
appointed, quite chic, bar and restaurant and the restaurant menu is first class. Had couple breakfasts and a dinner during my stay and all were excellent.
Room was very comfortable, had such a good nights sleep.
Staff were all very friendly which is always a bonus.
Location-wise, difficult to beat Rabble on this, one minute from George Street, three from Princes Street.
I’ll be back!

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.
Donna
Edinburgh stay
Excellent accommodation and really friendly helpful staff. A lovely vibe. Edinburgh is an amazing city and the weather was fantastic.
Steven
Well equipped quiet clean room. Excellent value for mo ey
Hannah
Gorgeous room and all the tea/coffee facilities in the room with milk in the fridge! Sadly a few things in the room look a little tired (door lock and bathroom sink) and the location of the rooms is not ideal. Having to walk through to the kitchen and then through two rather grubby hostel-style doors&stairs felt very 1-2* not 4*.
And the Friday night karaoke alongside no AC in the room meant a very sleepless first night. I'd recommend requesting a room higher up in the building as we were the first room in the hotel and it was directly above the bar and on ground level to the street and kitchen deliveries happened right outside the window!

Location of hotel was perfect for city centre, staff very helpful and friendly, room clean and tidy, breakfast was excellent. Would stay again.
Mark
Great location for the City.
A short break in the City Centre, and this was a great location. NCP parking was about 10mins walk, and was reduced pricing too which was a great help. Excellent breakfast and overall a nice stay but bathroom was quite dusty in places, and disturbed during the night with surrounding bars emptying their glass bottle bins late.
David
Fab small boutique hotel
Really lovely decorated hotel - great restaurant for breakfast and dinner - nice atmosphere and the staff were brilliant
Verified traveler
Definitely would stay again
Beautiful place. Our room was perfect for us and the location was really central with a 5 min walk to prince's street and very close to other restaurants etc. It was a little noisy due to overlooking another pub and road that the glass was being emptied out every morning but its a city center location so i would expect that. They have big towels! A simple but lovely touch along with hair dryer
and straighteners. The team were friendly and attentive.

Mostly good
Nice hotel, staff, food and well situated. Some things in room needed attention (toilet flush refill very slow, sink plug didn't work, toilet roll hanging off wall). All minor things which could be sorted easily. The main reason for not giving an excellent review was the noise outside every day from refuse being emptied in the small street behind Started very early and finished late at night. A great shame.
Judith
Stay at Rabble
Great place to stay. Very friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. Downstairs at Rabble was a great atmosphere and good fun. Room upstairs was comfortable with everything you could need for your stay. Bathroom was a bit tired
Craig
Nice hotel above the Rabble restaurant, ideal location for staying in Edinburgh. We ate in the Rabble in the evening and the food was excellent. Hotel room was clean and very modern with excellent in room facilities

A hidden gem
Rabble is an amazing, friendly hotel. Tbe staff are very friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was very clean and all the small touches made it, hairdrier and straightening irons, tea and coffee pod machine, shower gel shampoo and conditioner also a jar with cotton pads and buds. Tv had Netflex which was great for late night viewing. We booked in for breakfast and i csn honestly say it was the best full english ive ever had, delishous. It was so good we had dinner and cocktails we booked in for dinner and cocktails and they didnt dissapoint. All in all a brilliant hotel in a ideal location and we will definitely be back again.
Lyndsey
Gem of a find
Gorgeous place in a great location, New Town is a great area of Edinburgh with many indpendent businesses to explore. The room was lovely, modern decor, spacious and great amenities from a Nespresso machine to good toiletries and hair straightners. Only issue was room was so warm! Service was excellent, we did a late check out and they on;y charged us one hour, bar/restaurant is lovely place to enjoy a drink but food was below par.

This is our fourth stay at Rabble and as usual it didn't disappoint! The staff as always were friendly and efficient and the room very comfortable, with everything available that you could want. The breakfast each morning was lovely and it was no trouble for them to get you something that wasn't listed on the menu.
A couple of things to point out that are negative about the room would be the toilet roll holder in the bathroom hanging off the wall and the curtain in the bedroom also in need of some repair but these are minor issues and didn't at all detract from our stay.
If you are looking for a good base in the centre of Edinburgh then I would definitely recommend this hotel. Can't wait to book my next stay.

Have stayed a couple of times before and have been impressed, although there was a smell lingering in the stairwell. Probably from the kitchen.
We had a meal on one of the nights and this was excellent.

Staff beyond excellent but rooms too small next to no clothes storage we were moved to a larger room at the top of the hotel but the heat was unbearable the staff did all they could but I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying for more than one night

Fantastic Hotel HIGHLY recommended
Absolutely fantastic hotel! I stat in Edinburgh frequently and this was my first time at the Rabble. Excellent value for money, friendly staff, lovely room modern and clean. Bang in the centre of the city. I will certainly be staying here next time.

Noisy accommodation. Nice staff.
Staff were consistently lovely. However extractor fan outside when window open was extremely noisy. Room far too warm when window closed. In these circumstances the duvet was too heavy. Very poor insulation between floors so we were kept awake by a guest above us who walked around all night, sounded like moving furniture around so poor sleep. Disappointing and despite great staff we definitely won’t return.

Beautiful, clean and well stocked within the room. The bar and restaurant, although we didn’t eat there, looked fantastic.
Unfortunately however, we had a terrible nights sleep. The duvet was very noisy, pillows hard but thick so it just didn’t allow for much negotiation in how you positioned yourself. Lastly, joined single beds will always remove a star for me. You can’t expect a noticeably uncomfortable gap in the middle of your bed at £100+ a night.

Very comfortable
Rabble was perfect for location for what we wanted, it was spotless clean and had all modern comforts and a well stocked mini fridge with a nice selection of complementaries to go with it, couldn’t fault it at all would definitely go back
Jo
A great deco in the room. The bath screen didn't work so well which made a puddle outside of the bath tub after shower. Otherwise, everything was excellent!

Clean, comfortable, affordable stay in Edinburgh
Unassuming place given its location within a restaurant/bar but all the comforts of a modern boutique hotel. Enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning, easy 10 minute walk from Waverly Bridge or Station.

We were given a nice welcome upon arrival & the room was very well equipped although a little noisy, being at street level at the rear of the property, you had people standing outside chatting in the early hours and deliveries arriving. The inroom fridge is a nice touch but be sure to check stocked items so not to be charged for something you haven't taken. Not sure laminate flooring in the corridors is very practical when you can hear every footstep outside your door. Good level of cleanliness & comfortable bed. Sadly we didn't have a very good dining experience on our first night so didn't eat here. Menu is quite limited. The establishment is situated in a good position close to shops, restaurants, public transport & many of the local attractions.

Great stay pity about the barman
Fantastic location, everything was clean and pristine. Bathroom was good excellent shower with plenty of hot water, the girls we dealt with for the accommodation side where great and very helpful.
There are only 2 negatives, the bed was very soft and I woke with a sore back but I that is a personal problem and not everyone will need or want a firmer mattress.
The second was when we went down stairs for a drink the waiter was very polite but after about 15 minutes of waiting for our drinks I went to the bar to see what the holdup was, and found the barman chatting to a couple of girls as the drinks orders where piling up the waiter looked frustrated and I tried to get the guys attention but he totally ignored us and looked like he has a bit of an attitude problem. Felt sorry for the waiting staff as our second drinks order took even longer they tried to cover for him saying it was busy however this was not the case.

They over booked the room and gave us the room of other hotel.
They excused that this is because my credit card was expired but other hotel I booked through Expedia in same trip was ok and this was bad excuse which made us more irritated.
I booked this hotel by checking Expedia review and never been happy with other hotel’s room.
Thery said the room they gave us is better than their hotel room but we can not compare and never know.
It was my terrible experiences I never had unfortunately.

Great room
Central location, rooms above a bar rather than a hotel but fab for couples wanting to be near bars who aren’t bothered about a ‘hotel’ experience

Nothing at all to complain about. Staff, service, cleanliness, comfort, food, facilities, location all excellent.

Great location and good quality
This hotel is close to fantastic restaurants and pubs - try Bon Vivant (good restaurant not pricey), El Cartel (Mexican no bookings), Queens Arms (gastropub), The Cambridge (burgers). This hotel has no lobby which I loved. Rooms are high specification and very big comfortable beds

Amazing Hotel, Amazing Location and Amazing Staff... 5 Stars from me 👌👌

One night only but would stay again and for a visit to Edinburgh not just work related

I walked in through the busy bar/grill area & thought I'd be in for a noisy night. Not at all, the room was quiet, clean & beautifully furnished. The staff were exceptional & remembered me when I went to collect my (stored) bag in the afternoon. I'll be back for a social stay later this year.
David
Modern and trendy boutique hotel.
Checking in was initially a bit bizarre, being at the back of a busy and noisy bar and restaurant. However the service was friendly and efficient.. The room appeared to have been upgraded recently, was modern and had a big comfortable four poster bed. The pillows were soft and pliable and the room was well stocked with drink and snacks.
One criticism was the small flimsy designer chair at the table. I don't think it would carry the weight of anyone much over ten stone - a bigger more robust chair would be much better although there was a premium on available space in the room.
Overall I enjoyed my stay and would return, although Edinburgh hotel prices are getting very expensive these days. Rabble is reasonable but by no means a bargain.

Perfect location, comfortable and warm and really clean. Was delayed with check in but they took our bags and me and my boyfriend went site seeing for the few hours. Place is cheap and food is great

Great place!
Fabulous little boutique hotel in a great location to everything! Many cute and delicious restaurants and great drinks around! Rick's makes some very tasty cocktails

Brilliant little hotel with fabulous staff
We were warmly welcomed by a very friendly & efficient member of staff & shown to a lovely room on the street level. Has a nice contemporary feel to the room, large comfy bed, plenty of storage space and very clean. Bathroom had tub & shower combo which is pretty rare in a reasonably priced room in Edinburgh, where space is at such a premium! Plenty of towels, robes provided and The White Company complimentary toiletries where a nice touch. We had a free bottle of Prosecco as part of our booking, which was chilled & ready in the room. It was especially welcome after a long day of travelling & walking. Breakfast - also part of our booking - was plentiful and delicious,lots of hot & cold items to choose from. All the staff we met were very helpful & professional. Really hope to stay here again on our next trip in June!

Edinburgh, first visit!
Ricks was an amazing place to stay for a first visit to Edinburgh. Great central location, lovely friendly staff, excellent food both breakfast and dinner. Loved the cocktails in the bar! Our room was spacious and comfortable and clean. A bit noisy at night but we were in the centre of a beautiful city. Would highly recommend this hotel!
Claire
We had a great time in Edinburgh and Rick's Hotel is very well situated for both sightseeing and shopping. The hotel staff really make this hotel as they are all very warm, friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble! We ate in the hotel once in the evening and every morning for breakfast and it was delicious, with fab service and a good ambience. The rooms are slightly dated but the staff were more than happy to upgrade our room to ensure we were completely satisfied.

Good location
The location was great for access to the city centre, the room was ok but not what we expected for the price.
Joanne
Convenient, fabulous staff
Great stay, staff very friendly.
Fiona
Good location but let down by room
The reception is in a very noisy bar so when I called up to ask when I could check in it was very hard to hear the answer. Room was very hot and also very noisy with a lot of banging from the corridor so had a less than average nights sleep. A small piece of glass was found on the floor. The tap head came off in the shower so was unable to turn off the tap.
