Disappointing
The location was nice and the restaurant on site was great. The staff were also fantastic.
There is no check-in or lobby or elevators. You have to carry your bags down and up stairs and through the restaurant. It’s not accessible at all. Also there is no AC and the rooms are very hot. If you keep the window open, it is tremendously loud from beer bottles and bar patrons, and the room fills with cigarette smoke from below. Without fresh air, the fan doesn’t help too much. The hotel itself is also horribly loud - you could hear slamming doors all night and made it very hard to sleep.

Room was well appointed and included extra spoils. The packaged breakfast for us prepared very early was very appreciated. Location was a little difficult to find but convenient once located. Parking was outlined in booking instructions but links didnt work and hotel only replied several days later, after we had checked out
We requested a room with an additional bed for a 3 year old - a pack and play was provided which wasnt useful. Rooms were not close together as requested and were very hot. Hotel is located in an area that is very loud, drunk people singing and dogs barking all night

Smiley staff, great location and comfy bed.
Very small room, not properly cleaned and while there was everything you’d need, it felt cluttered.
Personally not a fan of having to pay an extra £2 if you fancy a cappuccino rather than an ordinary coffee at breakfast… esp when the room, including breakfast cost £200+

Good location, bar and restaurant downstairs, modern decor, extremely comfy beds, powerful shower, fluffy towels, and bathrobes supplied.
Room lacked light. Could have done with a ceiling light at the dressing table, difficult to see when doing hair etc. bedside table wasn’t working but reported and hopefully sorted for next resident.

I found the staff very helpful, the breakfast was lovely and the property very clean
If I went back to Edinburgh I would probably book there again
Bit to far from train station to walk

Great vibe. Friendly staff. Very popular with locals which is always a good sign.
Noisy from the street behind into the early hours, but nothing regarding the property itself.

Beautiul small boutique hotel right in the heart of Edinburgh. Convenient for everything! Would definitely recommend.
We just had one small issue with a the shelve in Room 3. It wasn't level so therefore our things slid off :-(

So our booking was to stay at Rabble, however there was a mix up with another parties booking (through a third party booking platform) and the hotel was full and needed to relocate two people to their sister hotel. The party of people didn't want to be split, understandably, so we decided to be the ones to be relocated, to their sister hotel just around the corner, TigerLily. We was fine with this.
Both hotels are lovely, and the staff dealt with it really well, and gave us a few extras as a thank you for accepting the relocation, and our room was huge.
This was our first time visiting Edinburgh, we would love to come back again and will definitely look at staying at both Rabble and TigerLily again.
Nothing.

Beautiful hotel, staff helpful and friendly.
Facilities available are first class.
Breakfast was delicious!
Slightly out the way for my elderly mum as we were arriving by train into Waverly station.
No lift but we were on the first floor so not too bad.

Poor
The location was only good thing.
You have to almost walk through the kitchen to get to rooms where staff are running up and downstairs to get stuff for the bar. The music went on till after midnight so you can’t get to sleep. Paint spills all over bathroom floor, just general scruffy. For £225 a night it’s a rip off.
Thank you for your information!
