House of Gods Hotel

My partner and I had a terrible night stay here. Our room was tiny, smelled of mould and there was obvious mould in the room and bathroom. The bathroom was more of a wet room and when you shower everything was soaked. The smell of the room was the main issue my partner ended up sitting in reception majority of the night due to being unable breath in the actual room due to health issues and the mould smell. I’m 6 months pregnant and spent the night worrying about that side of things. There was obvious mould on the ceiling of the room and the cleanliness overall wasn’t great. The staff I have to say were very nice and did offer extras as an apology however there wasn’t another room option when we asked and to be honest if my partner and I had a way of getting home in the early hours we would have left and not stayed. I still can’t get over the room smelling so bad and the fact everything in the room was moist due to clear ventilation issues. We were offered 30% refund which to me personally wasn’t good enough considering the cost of a room here on a Saturday night, neither of us slept and were put in unhealthy living conditions. The breakfast in the morning which was what appeared to compare to a millar corner yoghurt, cheap watery coffee, a stale pastry, 150mls of apple juice and some shortbread for £20 PER person was absolute diabolical. I would not waste money staying here it is not worth the visit. Very disappointed.

Fotos give a very wrong impression, dark, not very pleasant smell, no fresh air, room and especially bathroom extremely small

Firstly, the decor is lovely. Corridors too dark tho and if there was a fire good luck finding your way out, we walked in a circle 🤣. Room way to small! Nowhere to eat breakfast so you get a small hamper in your room and you need to eat it sitting on the bed - no seats/table. Also not the best breakfast for money - at least add a hot filled roll! Staff are lovely and friendly. For the money they should give you the treats in the room for free - for all it would cost and would feel more of a luxury stay. All in all, enjoyed our stay but it is very overpriced which could lead to disappointment x

Great room possibly the coolest hotel on Edinburgh.

Had an amazing stay for 2 nights in Edinburgh! The hotel itself is very unique and characteristic, with beautiful decor and wonderful staff who go above and beyond to create a personalised experience. Upon entry we were greeted by Rishi who was super helpful and was even on hand to give us advice whilst out and about in the city. The hotel uses WhatsApp to communicate with you instantly hence you’re provided with really quick room service. We chose the “Mimosa Mornings” package which included a glass of prosecco on arrival, chocolates in the room and a butler delivered breakfast hamper each morning of the stay. This included items like croissants, yogurt with jam & granola, hot drinks, orange juice and shortbread biscuits, at our chosen time. The biggest highlight of the experience for us, was receiving milk, cookies and snacks at whatever time we desired on the evening/night- this paired nicely with watching Harry Potter in the dim lighting. If you visit Edinburgh, this is definitely the hotel to stay at- it’s not just a hotel but an experience! Thank you for a truly spectacular time.

This place is AMAZING!! I stayed for 2 nights, and I wish I could have stayed longer. The staff goes above and beyond and are absolutely wonderful! The prosecco, cookies and milk, and breakfast hampers were beyond all my expectations. Truly a wonderful place to be pampered and treated like a queen!

This hotel and cocktail bar was the tops! The staff and management went out of their way to make our stay excellent. We were treated like 'gods'. The room was luxurious, cosy and opulent. Beneath the mirror was a large TV. The breakfast had a choice of items, which were made up of things we both liked. We were not disappointed. We felt pampered and relaxed with so much on offer.

I booked this hotel for the night before my wedding and wedding night. For the price paid it was extremely disappointing to say the least! Firstly, trying to check in - I'd dropped in earlier in the day with my partner to leave my luggage, wedding dress etc and was given tickets for those. When returning later to check in I was told that I would not be allowed to check in unless I had the last four digits on the card that paid, my partners card and he was not with me being the night before our wedding! The two young girls on the desk were staring at me as if I was something they'd stepped in as I was trying to phone my partner to get the relevant code!! Secondly, lighting - or lack of it! I get the ambience they're trying to create but it was so dark in the corridors I felt as if I needed my iphone torch to negotiate my way to the room. The room was no better, such poor lighting, having to put on wedding make up was challenging as the 'make up mirror' was no such thing as it cast a shadow over my entire face! Size of room - small, actually tiny! I had a room with a four poster and you could only use one side of the bed. Only one chair to seat two people so the only option for breakfast was sitting in bed and getting croissant crumbs everywhere. Bathroom - the cold tap didn't work properly, shower was just a curtain around a shower head so the whole bathroom became flooded, nowhere to hang anything, bathroom door didn't shut Breakfast - the first morning, wedding morning, I was on my own - had the hamper in bed with a pack of two warm croissants, yoghurt with fruit and granola with juice and tea - fine, it was tasty. Next morning after wedding, my new husband and I had the same hamper - one pack of two croissants, same yoghurt etc one full coffee and one half empty coffee cup and two pots of jam which had already been opened and used!! Fair play to them, they brought a new hamper and asked if we wanted a Mimosa each as an apology - no not really, we were driving home! We booked the hotel firstly for the convenience as it was only two doors away from our venue, but also because we thought we would booking an opulent luxurious room as it looked and was described online. It's no such thing and I feel we would have been far better off booking the Radisson!

What an absolutely incredible stay! From start to finish the staff at the hotel were so attentive and more than lovely. We had the best time and they even wrote me a card for my birthday! You can message to reception through whatsapp and they bring anything you need to your room with such speed. 10/10 would recommend.

Stayed for 2 nights which we had the unfortunate circumstance that the A/C went out the day we arrived. The hotel did call us the morning before and no issues with their willingness to make it right or help us find another place to stay. It was our choice to stay but I wanted to preface that my opinion may be bias from this circumstance. I think they have a good vision for the decor and mood of the place and with some more changes it would really improve the experience. I found too much use of incense which made the smells very over whelming also related the hallways smelled of body ordor and were stuffy. As previously menioned we were there when the A/C was out so I'm sure that was a contributing factor but even if the A/C was working I think there still is the over use of incense. The hallways are also draped in velvet curtains which give a cool look but that fabric is going to absorb and hold onto any ordors. My recommendation would be to give serious upgrades to the ventalation and reduce the use of incense. My next critique is the lighting. It is a dark and moody vibe which I totally get what they're going for but the hallways are too dark which came off as scary rather than moody. When using dark decor it absorbs a lot of the light which means you actually need to add more light if you're going to decorate in such a dark palate. The poor lighting actually led to small incident that when breakfast was delivered at our door, it's so dark in the hallway the person delivering the food couldn't see that they placed the tray blocking the door so when I opened the door I knocked the tray over spilling the breakfast on the carpet. They promptly cleaned and served a fresh breakfast but I share as an example of the issue with the lighting. The rooms have good mood lighting but they're lacking in enough bright lighting as well. There's time for a moody light but then there are times when you simply just need more lighting so you can see yourself shave or see yourself put on makeup. The mirror in the bathroom was too tall for my 5 ft. tall wife to see herself to do her makeup. Partly related to the broken A/C and partly to the lighting, we really wished the window opened. It was cooler outside than in and we also wanted to see what the weather was like that day and if the window could open it would helped a lot. Then bed I'm pretty sure is double/full size, not a queen. Yes it's a sexy hotel and you're going to be close to the person you're with, but eventually you're going to sleep and want the space to do so. I'm pretty sure a Queen could be made to fit in the room. Overall I appreciate what they're trying to accomplish, there's just some practicalities of the actual space to make it more enjoyable. The staff were all pleasant and very responsive. 5 stars for the staff, but for the space I had to give it a 2 for the above reasons mentioned.
