Two nights in Edinburgh

Central location great spot for touring Edinburgh. Quiet and friendly staff

Very dark, no natural light. However that's part of the charm. Lives up to its advertising

Should be better service/facilities based on price.

Location

Poor value for money. Service could be better. Disappointing issues with room facilities.

Great location, avoid small windowless rooms

The staff were amazing and couldn't be more helpful, they amended our room as we were not aware when booking that our bed would only have one side to get in and out of which does not work well

We were not aware that the room had no windows, it was very hot and a bit claustrophobic because the room was very small, we also had a lot of luggage so had almost no floor space either. There was no natural light and the lighting was very dim so being able to see into our bags was a struggle which is a shame because the room itself was beautiful but these are quite important factors!

It is a funky, cool, fun place, with tiny yet interesting rooms and very uncomfortable beds.

Cool, fun, funky hotel.

Bed was uncomfortable. It is an old bed with a huge dip in the middle.

A quirky hotel in the heart of Edinburgh

The staff were amazing - hotel is very quirky a change from the norm which was a change. The bed was very comfy and room is bijou but well designed. Nice touch was getting a glass of prosecco whilst checking in.

Getting into the bed - there is no room at the sides for climbing in.

Nous avons reçu un accueil chaleureux et notre dernière nuit à Edinburgh fût une réussite grâce à cette expérience.

L’accueil et le service sont impeccable et les chambres décorées dans un style qui ne laisse pas indifférent.

La taille des chambres est vraiment à prendre en compte mais c’est aussi dans l’expérience : l’absence de fenêtre fait que l’on se sent coupé du monde extérieur.

Annorlunda hotell med tema dekadens

Centralt läge. Rummet hade AC och saknade fönster så det var tyst, svalt och mörkt. Frukosten levererades till rummet. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal.

Rummet var trångt, toaletten ännu trängre. Duschen blötte ner hela golvet inne på toaletten så en gummiskrapa att tillgå hade varit bra. Få alternativ i frukostmenyn.

Sh*te

The staff and thier service was the Only good thing.

Heating on full wack no fan given, both myself and partner sweating throughout the night. Room stunk of alcohol when we first got in. Not a window in sight and room was tiny. For a price north of £400. You are taking the absolute p*ss

Below mediocre

Not much. It is really a poor attempt to create a ‘special’ hotel.

Rooms have no windows, all is dark and dusty.. Bar was full of old people and no vibe at all.

Extremely disappointing, bordering on unpleasant.

Great location. Atmospheric room.

I felt very mis-led and my expectations of the hotel were definitely not met. The reality of the building, room and 'cocktail lounge' was extremely disappointing. The breakfast hamper was poor quality, rather stale, only lukewarm and very disappointing. For the price I paid, I expected: excellent service; at least some complimentary water/biscuits/enough tea & coffee; some UHT milk (there wasn't any); use of a bathrobe and a comfortable bathroom (not a tiny wet room). The room was tired and in my opinion, only met adequate levels of cleanliness.

Massively Over priced

Not much at all

The room was so small I got claustrophobic after the first night. No window and I could touch each side of the room with my arms Overly hot with an air conditioning so loud it was hard to have on You are paying for the decor that only works on a large space Wouldn’t not recommend

Treated like Gods

The atmosphere was amazing. It’s a cross between a sexy boudoir and The Continental from John Wick. The staff bent over backwards to help us and were exceptionally. We’ve already arranged our next visit in the summer. Highly recommend getting the Famous packages they are well worth it and make the experience a lot more special. The girlfriend said I did a good job and I get a gold star. 😁

Beklemmend eng und mit Duftkerzen übertünchte abgestandene Luft. Gerne nicht wieder.

Schöne Lobby/ Bar

Die Zimmer sind extrem klein. Dazu kommt, dass die Zimmer schlecht riechen. Was wir erst bei unserer Ankunft merkten, ist, dass es keine Fenster gibt. Die Fakefenster werden von aussen mit LEDs beleuchtet, was das Lüften unmöglich macht. Um den Geruch des Zimmers zu verdrängen mussten wir die ganze Nacht die Klimaanlage laufen lassen, die nicht wirklich frische Luft in das enge Zimmer bläst. Die Bilder sind besser als die Zimmer selbst. Das Bad ist sauber und hat eine tolle Dusche. Allerdings wäre ein Dampfabzug ganz nett. Da dieser fehlt entweicht die ganze Feuchtigkeit nach der Dusche in die kleine Kajüte. Für eine Nacht okay, doch wir waren nach 2 Nächten froh, endlich wieder abzureisen. Zu eng und zu stickig. Leider ein Reinfall.

Great idea but let down by the details

Good location, right in the heart of the old city. Amazing rooms with over the top deccor

Downside of the location was that it was a bit lively on a Saturday night. Staff varied from super friendly with big smiles to offhand to the point of rudeness. The room wasn't clean. You had to wipe your feet before getting into bed to get the bits off and there was a funny smell in the bathroom when we arrived.

A very different and stylish hotel right in the heart of Edinburgh,

A quirky and very well designed boutique hotel. Very stylishly designed, great staff and lots of well thought out extra features included (like a breakfast hamper, "milk and cookies" if you want them in the evening, a £10 bar credit).

There is no avoiding it, the room was tiny. It was in some ways well designed (deliberately modelled on the Orient Express apparently, but I have travelled on that and other than colour scheme there is not a lot in common). It had one of my biggest hates though: a double bed only accessible on side, so one person has to climb over the other if they need to use facilities in the night.

All in all…Absolutely loved it. Will definitely be back!

Super Comfortable, quirky opulent decor, amazingly easy check in/out and perfect location, excellent facilities, friendly efficient staff, delicious breakfast hamper and phenomenal extras such as the Prosecco and milk and cookies!

Small negatives which didn’t hinder our stay but toilet didn’t flush properly and bathroom could’ve done with a shelf for toiletries. I would’ve liked a kettle and some milk in fridge.

The different ambiance of the room. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Between 9 pm and 01 am milk and cookie service to the room. Free Prosecco Breakfast service to the room within the picnic box was a different experience. The decor of the room Netflix

Dark corridors. A bit pricey No open window

Is there a Manager?

The House of Gods is a well presented and sumptuous environment with pleasant staff.

Sadly, we found our room (106) to be very hot and was sweltering overnight despite running the air conditioning. I went to Reception on the first night and asked if there was a fan that we could use, but sadly there wasn't. The receptionist said that she would pass my comments about the hot room on to her manager. We continued to be cooked for the duration of our stay. Upon check out, I raised this issue with another member of staff and also pointed out a couple of other issues with the room, one of which was that the refrigerator wasn't working at all and that the milk provided for breakfast was completely curdled. Again, I was asked if I would like the manager to get in touch and I said yes. We checked out five days ago and I haven't heard a peep from House of Gods. It was a relatively expensive stay and I would have liked to leave a more positive review, but I feel that there was a lack of attention to detail and a poor response across the board to our concerns. Ultimately, two very hot and uncomfortable nights left us feeling like our stay in Edinburgh was exhausting.

Out of this world.

Staff were uber friendly, we were made to feel very welcome. Staff were on hand to have a laugh and that made our day. We were a group of friends but we enjoyed the opulence of our room. Thanks to Jock and Tio for the patter and chat!! Breakfast was amazing, Brolls Bagel masterclass. What a great experience ☺️
