Style over substance unfortunately. Some rooms larger but if you're unlucky you'll find yourself in a tiny, stuffy cabin with nowhere to put luggage or toiletries. Lumpy bed. An alright stay.

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!

Room was dirty, hair everywhere. It smelled like fried food. I even found a pair of someone else’s underwear on the floor. Disgusting place, would not recommend.

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
