Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

We stayed 1 night for a quick visit to Edinburgh. Location was fine and cheaper than hotels more centrally located. Our room was on the top floor with many stairs to climb. Sharing a bathroom caused no issues and seemed to work well. However the room was tired and badly in need of maintenance. Tiles were loose, power sockets moved when using them, the blind, once down, could not be raised again and the tv worked intermittently (once we found the extension cable to turn it on). There were shops and cafes close by for breakfast. Overall not a great experience however it was clean and manageable for 1 night.
