The staff at Aloft Birmingham-Soho Square were exceptional! They were not only warm and welcoming but also highly responsive to every question or request. The hotel’s location in the vibrant SOHO area offers fantastic dining and shopping options. I strongly recommend this property for anyone visiting Birmingham.

Great location but expensive and a little tired.

We have stayed at this property a couple of times now. It has become very expensive in addition to now charging extra for parking and breakfast items. The facilities and rooms are looking a little tired. The SoHo area of Birmingham is charming and the hotel is well located. They are also pet friendly.
