About Rabble
Rooms at Rabble come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available to order, and room service if you'd rather not head downstairs, making it an easy base for exploring Edinburgh. Free WiFi and luggage storage are included, and breakfast is served on site to set guests up for the day.
The restaurant and bar downstairs are a draw in their own right, known for dishes such as pork saltimbocca alongside haggis, served in a warm, buzzing setting with attentive staff. Kids meals are available too, and the food is generally considered good value, though service can slow down at busier times.
The hotel sits on Frederick Street in the City of Edinburgh, with Edinburgh Waverley around 0.79 miles away. Nearby options include other pubs, bars and restaurants, along with entertainment, fishing and watersports for those wanting to venture further afield. There's no parking available at the property, so guests arriving by car should plan accordingly.

What guests say
I recently visited Rabble Edinburgh on both a Friday and Saturday night, a few weeks apart and each time was genuinely fantastic. The staff were outstanding - incredibly polite, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling as if you are bothering them. The whole bar is really welcoming, the staff definitely brought a comfortable atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The food was another highlight. The value for money is brilliant giving there is so many options. Everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The drink options are also great, good wine and cocktail options - however, I think real Aperol needs to be added to the menu!!! :) The atmosphere overall was brilliant - warm, lively, and inviting. The music added a great vibe to the evening: upbeat enough to dance if you will but still perfect for chatting and relaxing. They had a great DJ on the Saturday night. 2 different days with excellent service, delicious food, and a fantastic vibe. Highly recommend Rabble Edinburgh - I’ll definitely be back soon!

Honestly an incredible stay, would stay again. The rooms are lovely I had a king room with four poster, room 5. Lovely had a nice bed comfy, shower very good, great room facilities like large fridge and milk and water. Robes was lovely, slippers would have also been great but no biggy. Staff were really lovely and accommodating from arrival. Drinks were good and breakfast was good. Hotel great location very central. Parking is limited on the street.

We had a really delicious meal on the January 3 course meal offer. It felt like such excellent value for less than £30. The bangers and mash was a bit of a rouge choice but I was so happy I ordered it. Absolutely blew me away. Super comforting and enjoyable. Sticky toffee pudding was class too. Would absolutely return!

WOW, the restaurant was fabulous. The staff were outstanding. They made feel at home. Along with staff, the food was amazing. Even the restricted 2 course menu was outstanding with plenty of variety. I cant recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Diners like this restaurant's delicious food, including unique dishes like pork saltimbocca and haggis, and appreciate the excellent value for money. They also highlight the warm, lively atmosphere and the friendly, attentive staff.
Some reviews mention the service can be slow.
