Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had a very bad smell resembling a sewer and were disappointingly small, but the size was good despite being affected by partition walls. The service staff were very nice and helpful, though the noise and lack of response to complaints were notable issues. The location was advantageous for a quiet and comfortable sleep but lacked proper assistance during nighttime disturbances. The dining experience was worth the extra cost, and the facilities were adequate.
Upon arrival, the room smelt stale and of smoke near the main exit door, creating an unpleasant pub-like atmosphere. The location was central and easy to find, although some issues with room service and refund delays affected the overall experience of the stay.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, although not in the same building as facilities. It faces the street, providing a nice view, and the rooms are well-maintained.
The hotel is conveniently located near the center of Birmingham, making it convenient for exploring the city. The room setup felt a bit odd as if we were placed in a breakfast area, but the comfort of the beds and proximity to the city center were positives. However, issues with room allocation and heating adjustments were a downside during my stay.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were okay, basic but clean with a newly refurbished bathroom, which was a nice touch. However, the rooms need some fresh paint. The service was friendly and efficient, and the staff handled having a large group of elderly guests well. The location was good for a 3-day getaway to Birmingham, though not perfect for all city center activities. The dining experience varied from lovely to just average. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel offers rooms at a good price, but the external door slamming throughout the night kept me awake. The cleanliness was not up to my standards.
The hotel was a mixed experience with some positives like a ready room on short notice but also some drawbacks with cleanliness issues in the rooms and unhelpful staff. The location was convenient for local amenities but had noise disturbances. The dining had both positive and negative aspects with good hot food choices but also some issues with the service. Overall, an average stay with room for improvement.
The hotel seems like a converted garage or servant quarters situated off by itself, which gives it a unique charm. The rooms need a facelift with old furniture that should be replaced. Some windows don't close properly, and the door looks like it has been clawed at by a wolf, leaving a hole underneath. However, the service was responsive to inquiries and even reminded me of the checkout time. The location is great for exploring Birmingham city center and using it as a launch pad for conferences or nights out on Broad Street. The dining experience was a bit funny at breakfast with limited options, and the tables needed some serious cleaning. The facilities need some attention, especially the cleanliness of the tables and correct order delivery. Price may not align with value for money in some aspects.
The hotel's location is convenient, with easy access to the city and surrounding areas. The rooms, located at the top of an annex building, could use some finishing touches like improved cleanliness and maintenance. The service provided by the staff was helpful and polite, making it a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel has a perfect location for attending events in Birmingham City Centre and offers a convenient stay. The rooms are in need of an update and have strict rules during check-in, but the service is friendly and helpful. The dining experience may not meet high standards, but the facilities are satisfactory for a comfortable stay.
