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

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.

Great location and cute hotel

Nice little hotel at a great location. Staff is friendly and helpful. We arrived earlier than check-in to drop off our bags, and they’d made sure to put them in the room for when we got back. They also provided snack bags when we had to leave before breakfast one day. Although the breakfast was objectively decent (set menu), there aren’t a lot of options if you don’t eat pork or eggs. Both waffles and granola were great though. The bed was ok, but the pillows were very voluminous and hard, so they weren’t very comfortable to sleep on. We couldn’t hear the bar downstairs, but even though we had the double windows closed, there was a lot of noise getting in from the alley. It wasn’t too much of a bother for us, but not ideal if you’re sensitive to noise. Cleanliness was generally good, but I do wish that they’d have emptied the bin in the bathroom from the previous guests. There also wasn’t a bin in the actual room, so we to put our garbage in bags and left it near the door every day. Not very accessible as there are a lot of stairs.
