I’ve stayed. The standard rooms are tiny. The cabins even smaller. The bar area is small as well.
Their prices are way more expensive now than they were a year ago (like most things). It’s all very gothic and instagram-friendly, the room I was in had no external view so being in a new building wasn’t an issue.
Plus sides - unlimited Prosecco delivered to your door. The Civerinos pizza was huge and the breakfast bagels were lovely.
Would I pay the money now? Probably not, because I’ve already been |

Thanks, so no natural light at all? |

I’ve been , the first things that will hit you are the lack of light and smoky smell. The next thing will be the tears rolling down your cheeks if you buy a drink from the bar whilst waiting to check in. This bar area is very small and dark so it does have a good atmosphere at night if full, it’s not hard to fill it though. A claustrophobic corridor then leads you to your claustrophobic room if it’s the same one I had. No windows so natural light. All in all for what I paid I found it a shocking waste of money. |

We stayed for a weekend post Covid and although I agree with some of the comments above we generally enjoyed our stay.
Is it overpriced? Yeah probably but most hotels in Edinburgh are and this is definitely a quirky option

"Wondering how it would compare to the prestonfield or Malmaison in Aberdeen who have similar looks.
For photoshoots the suites in Aberdeen Malmaison are great. "
Been in the Malmaison which is much better in my opinion .. I’ve not been in the prestonfield so I can’t compare .. it was a double room I had at house of gods .. if you were then thinking of a photographer in the room with a couple then good luck with that .. it’d certainly be intimate .. photography wise tho I’d say you would get dramatic pictures .. it’s eerily erotic

My wife and I went for a night away just as Covid restrictions were lifted, yeah it’s pricey, but we had a great night, we did the whole rock star upgrade thing with unlimited Prosecco and cocktails brought to your room. For the extra few quid The Witchery is a better experience if you want a boutique hotel night. |

Thanks for this. For the price you can get a large suite in the Malmaison though. And they have double showers which are great!
The basic rooms in prestonfield are tiny but very nice decor |

We stayed there years ago and it was nice but we thought it was expensive then (about same as HoGs now) it’s now a grand a night!! |

O really, didn't know that.
Malmaison getting a bit dated but the suites are still very big and great features. Definitely worth a visit . The bathtubs are ace for photos as well |
