House of Gods Hotel

Location was excellent. A short walk from The Royal Mile and Victoria Street. Also, just 5 minutes from Waverly station by car which made arrival and departure via uber stress free. Staff was very kind and made check-in / check-out a breeze. Room was very small and had we been staying for more than one night we would have needed to make a change to have more space, seating, and natural light. I enjoyed the breakfast hamper; however, we were never offered milk & cookies as stated on my booking package.

We visited this hotel as part of my wife's 50th birthday celebrations and we were made extremely welcome on booking in and enjoyed our complimentary glasses of Prosecco. I am not a big Prosecco fan but enjoyed the welcome and our first impressions were extremely positive. The decor is stunning, dark wood walls with lush burgundy drapes. We loved the winding corridors, dark and atmospheric which led to our room. The room, sorry, was a bit disappointing. The four poster bed was stunning but the room was so small there was barely any room for anything else.if you sleep on the far side like what i do you have to squeeze round the side of the bed. It is extremely cozy though and with the drapes round the bed closed makes it pitch black with really adds to the atmosphere. There is little to no storage for clothes/toiletries. The bathroom was small as well but as I don't spend much time in the bathroom, not a big issue. The highlight is the cocktails, they were magnificent. They all looked terrific but expensive so we only had 2 each. I would say they are worth it though, we enjoyed them immensely, so much so that next time we are in Edinburgh we will be popping in for a few more off the menu. We loved the cookies and milk at the end of the night, although when it is advertised as a butler delivering them I expected the whole suit and tails, not just staff dressed casually. This is perhaps my too high expectations as my wife didn't seem to mind. The breakfast was disappointing, we had to chase them up as it hadn't arrived at the time arranged. 1 croissant each was a bit cheap we thought, 2 would be perfect. My coffee was lukewarm while my wife's was late to arrive but hot at least. We both enjoyed the yogurt with granola and biscuits though. Overall, I feel it is worth a visit but it is a one and done for me and not more than a one night stay recommended.

Place was not as advertised for anything short of an expensive quickie. Pictures are alluring. Rooms are so small that we had to walk on our baggage to get around. Beds definitely not queens. Thought it would be entertaining so we booked for two nights at the end of a Scotland trip. Checked out early the next morning and were told we would be contacted by 'the office manager" for a refund for the second night. Still waiting. Stay away unless you enjoy tight quarters with dark stained walls and fabrics. The people before you might have left some souvenirs.

My husband and I booked two nights at the House of Gods, Edinburgh. Upon arrival we were greeted by lovely staff and given a complimentary glass of Prosecco before being shown to our room. The decor was dark and opulent and certainly had the wow factor....which very quickly subsided upon the realisation that the tiny (but gorgeous) dark room had no window! It was a fake window/prop with a light behind it. Sadly, the combination of 'tiny room' and 'no window' triggered my claustrophobia and we had to leave the windowless dark box and find another hotel. We'd never have booked had there been more transparency on website regarding WINDOWLESS ROOMS. We had paid for two days and got refunded one day only.

We booked the treat me like I'm famous experience as part of our stay as it was for a wedding anniversary. The room itself did give the vibe of being a railway carriage but it was very small. That's fine as obviously it fits with the theme but it meant there wasn't a lot of room to move about. In theory the balloons on the bed is a nice touch but there is then nowhere to put them. We found hairs on the cushions and so had to go into the bar while they changed the bedding, really something that should be checked for when the bed is made up but they were quick. The bathroom is a wet room but is so small that when we had a shower the next morning the whole floor was wet as there's not enough of a tilt to the floor to drain off. The TV also stopped working properly which wasn't a major problem but would've been nice if it had worked all night, might have been an issue with the WiFi as it was the apps we were trying to watch. The cocktails are lovely at the bar and the extras like the mimosa with breakfast is a nice treat. The breakfast hamper was o.k, we only had the croissants so maybe give people a choice of what they want in them, additionally there is nowhere to eat so you're sat on the bed with nothing but a napkin to use. All in all we enjoyed it but it wasn't quite as good as I thought it would be and I dont think I'd stay again though I would go for drinks. I would recommend staying in one of the larger rooms. Staff were lovely and friendly and couldn't do enough.

I absolutely loved this hotel the decor was amazing the staff were amazing was greeted well the room was amazing and mood lighting was outstanding, the cocktails were out if this world the only thing I have to say is I wasn't offered any prosecco which was part of my package, heating didn't work in my room so I was cold, and the breakfast hamper was good but the croissants were abit over cooked and hard but other then that all round good experience I would highly recommend or stay here again helped me alot for the gig I was at as the venue was just next door

Unique hotel with great decor

Stayed two nights and was not disappointed. Service was outstanding from all aspects. The room was not huge, but the bed was amazingly comfortable. Don't forget to try all the switches in the room, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Staff were fabulous especially manager Miles who went above and beyond and was extremely professional and friendly. Night receptionists was awsome even though it was only her 3rd shift. Extra touches are worth it. Good location. Cocktails great. Wonderful experience.

I'm sorry to see the streets of Edimbourg dirty enough. It s a pity in a so beautifull city
