Pros:

Hotel byl pěkný a čistý.

Cons:

Z našeho pokoje bylo okno přímo na ulici s výhledem na popelnice. V pokoji nebyly záclony, takže bylo možné mít buď rozhrnuté závěsy s tím, ze každý kdo jde kolrm do pokoje vidí,nebo zatažené závěsy a rozsvíceno.

If we were returning to Edinburgh, we would definitely stay at the Rabble again.
Pros:

It was very central to everything; but not super busy as far as congestion. The staff were exceptional; in particular Joshua! Informative, helpful and friendly. He took care of the customers.

Cons:

The floors to the rooms were a little sticky under your shoes in the hallways.
