I enjoyed a lovely rest while staying My Edinburgh Life, while running through Edinburgh on my Land's End to John O'Groats challenge. Phil Falconer was extremely helpful in facilitating my stay and incredibly generous too. I now count him very much as a friend of JOEDY, the hospital I was raising money for and hope to meet up with you... More

I booked a room at 'My Edinburgh Life' for a short weekend to attend the half marathon. Considering the location, quality and facilities of the hotel, I found the price reasonable. The hotel works on the principal of a home from home and as such there is no reception desk for check in/out, all this is done through email/phone and... More

We were looking for a cheap place to stay in Edinburgh, close to the city centre, which was bearable enough to stay in. This place ticked all the boxes. Getting access was a bit of a palaver but we got inside pretty quickly. We found the room very clean and the decor was nice and modern. It was a bit... More

Thanks to TA reports we were prepared for the routine to obtain access to the property and I contacted Phil by email in advance for details. I received a quick response and the process worked out fine. I had booked through an online supplier and they did not email any details so without TA we would have been left standing... More

A well turned out hotel that is really more like a guest house. There are not always staff on site, which is apparently normal for many of these types of hotels in Edinburgh. The house has a nice kitchen, and the front room common area is cozy and feels more like home than a hotel lobby. Hotel is right next... More

We stayed at My Edinburgh Life over the festival weekend for our friends wedding. The headache we faced straight away was the lack of parking facilities available in the area, especially as we were carrying so much luggage. The hotel itself does not cater for parking which is fine, until you realise most roads in the area are residential permit... More

Lovely decorated rooms, very spacious with everything you need. Good communal lounge & kitchen. We didn't see the other residents very much so it was like staying in your own home. Self serve breakfast had a great choice. Overall was very clean & tidy. Short walk to Haymarket station & about 10-15 mins walk to Princes St. Go through the... More
