No air conditioning and the rooms are too hot, everyone complaining. The hotel knows this, but don't plan on fixing it. No windows to open, only a fan if you request it, which is loud and just blows hot air around. Rooms are showing signs of neglect, like worn out fixtures and TV remote broke, tarnished bathroom fittings etc Will we return to this hotel in the future - "Not a Chance"

FURNACE!!!!!

Absolutely awful . The whole building was like a furnace, i was given a fan for my room and it didn't make a slight bit of positive difference. The bed two poor quality singles pushed together with a huge dip in the middle. Overall the worst stay in a hotel i have had for a long time and i stay in hotels weekly

Disappointing stay - there were 2 fans blowing hot air around a boiling hot room when we arrived. We was told maintenance were fixing the issue - when we arrived back after a night out the heat was unbearable so we had to move rooms at 2am in the morning! Both rooms were worn and where there had been attempts to redecorate it was all unfinished. Breakfast again disappointing - the food was of poor quality.

Reception staff on arrival rude and sarcastic esp Reception Manager. No air conditioning. Had two rooms one had average air con the other none. Lack of air con not highlighted by staff. Could have been managed so much better. Room phone not working. Took 2 hours for second fan to arrive. Cold water tap regularly issued hot water. So, a number of HSE issues. Left after 1 of 3 nights. Reception staff on second day much more helpful. Went to Hotel du Vin which was first class.

This Hotel is absolutely beautiful. The room I stayed in was amazing. They thought of everything someone staying there might need. There was a fridge, coffee/tea making facilities, and even towelled dressing gowns. I have never stayed anywhere like this before, and if I visit Birmingham again, I will definitely be booking The Cube!
