I had a truly outstanding visit to House of Gods. After booking I engaged with their team through an easy to use and responsive WhatsApp service. On arrival, I was greeted by the team and taken to my room and orientated. The room was stunning and truly switched off the outside world to relax in elegant luxury. The breakfast was beautifully presented in a hamper in the comfort of my room which was great. I loved my stay, and I’ll be looking for opportunities to go back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel location is super convenient and the very helpful staff are the main takeaways for me. Cleanliness was good. The only thing in the downside is the room size which really small.....however for a lone traveller like was not a big issue. The bed was good as I slept really well.....and this is important 🙌.......a downside was the breakfast as an extra with a cost of 20 pounds. Overall a positive experience

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.
