I arrived late at night, reception guided me from the car park to the venue over the phone, which was helpful. My room was much better than expected, spacious, clean, the bed really comfortable. Breakfast was good quality & plentiful, dinner was pleasant too, & both good value. The staff were always polite & helpful. Situated well for the town centre & rail travel. All in all a lovely stay, far exceeding my expectations.

Receptionist young girl shocking - rude, blunt and attitude. Rooms bed large but worn sheets and bobbles. Awful toilet paper like tracing paper. No hairdryer and room keys continued to not work went through 4 on 24 hours. For an executive room really low standard. Remote battery cover broken and old tape hanging off unable to secure.

Would definitely recommend!

I stayed here with my boyfriend for one night and it was a perfect stay! I would 100% recommend staying here to others. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. The room was clean and in great condition, the bathroom was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was a lovely start to our days too. Overall, it was an amazing experience staying in this hotel and in such a great location for a great price too. I’d definitely stay again if visiting Birmingham and would recommend to others too.
