The property has perfect location. It also is a very fun, unusual boutique hotel. But the rooms were exceedingly small. It really was not comfortable for two people in a room.

The place is a bit of a maze and quite dark, but it's beautifully decorated and the staff is incredibly attentive and helpful. It was very comfy, and the cabin room wasn't as small as I was expecting which was nice. It's excellent for a short stay, but I don't think I could deal with the wet room bathroom for an extended time period.

This beautiful boutique hotel is perfectly situated a block from the Royal mile and an easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go. The room was so comfortable and beautifully eclectic with all the amenities you’d ever want. The best part by far is the hotel staff. They seem to anticipate all of our needs and took care of us like we were the most important customers they’d ever had. I highly recommend the House of Gods to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Amazing. So much fun. Did I get lost trying to get back to the lobby from the dark ass velvet hallways? Yes, but again, part of the fun. Did my room have a phone? No, but it had a button to call the butler, summon milk and cookies, and prosecco. Again, I found it very amusing. And you'd think a hotel with velvet walls would be a unsanitary...Nope. Room was clean as a whistle. I am definitely coming back to the Edinburgh location one day. I was already raving about it to friends while in the bar downstairs, which was also great. Very creative drinks. TLDR: if you're traveling as a couple or solo, stay here !! great place, great location, very unique.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The TV remote didn't work and when i raised this they came back with new batteries and it still didn't work. The coffee machine didn't work properly, and there were coffee cups. There was also no kettle to boil water for the teas provided. The heating was not responsive and it was cold in the room. When this was raised they brought a small very loud portable electric heater. They did give us complimentary 'milk and cookies' which felt a little childish. The staff weren't rude, the room was quite quirky and the shower was good. It just didn't feel like value for money.

Pros - bed was comfortable, location was good. Service was generally friendly. Either way - Quiet and dark (this can be a plus or con but it was nice for sleeping). Shower pressure is good but there’s no barrier between shower and the rest of the bathroom (the other 1 sq ft) so when you shower the bathroom floods Cons - the whole luxury concept is a marketing play to charge more money. The rooms are extremely small like there’s room to walk 3 steps between bed and bathroom and that’s it. No windows. The “mood” lighting is the only lighting so try to find anything or try to get dressed it’s terrible. There’s no room to open a medium size bag. I cannot see how this can be good for couples. The towels need some fabric softener. Overall the rooms are basically a clean bed to sleep in the dark. I would not stay there again it was way too cramped and claustrophobic.

The staff were great. However, the value for money at this hotel just isn't. The room is tiny, and the bathroom is smaller and just not very practical.
