Amazing accommodation

Absolutely amazing hidden gem. Ideally located for the train station, shopping and close to restaurants and bars. Couldnt of asked for anything better. The studio apartments are fabulous for short stay, everything you could possibly want or need, amazing views over Birmingham and the beds are literally so comfortable. Fantastic stay, wouldn't go anywhere else now 🙂

Amazing views all over Birmingham

An amazing stay once again. I've stayed here on two previous occasions. I forgot how good the view is! The property is always clean and well maintained. I had to request by text message the WiFi codes, but they were sent with 30 minutes of my request. It's a great location when travelling by train into Birmingham

Love that you can have you own apartment for the same price as a hotel room. The mini was perfect for my partner and I, views at night time were amazing. Selection of snacks and fresh products to purchase whilst in the apartment, you literally have everything you'd have at home. Staff were friendly and polite, room was very clean and tidy,. Thankyou for having us!

So many small 'wow' factors in just a single stay

I was so impressed. The pre check-in and check-in comms was clear and proactive. I loved all the small gestures and notes in the room and really appreciated all the care and thoughfulness given it was a super-hot day .... you went and opened windows, drew the curtains and put the fan on so that I would be comfortable when I entered the room. Amazing. All the staff were also so friendly and helpful. I'll be back next time I need overnight stay in B'ham.

OK could do better in terms of cleanliness

It is a lovely apartment, but gets really hot and the fan doesn’t really help and is also extremely loud so can’t use it when sleeping at night. The bedroom lights did not work. There was hair in the shower cubicle and was a lot of dust in the living area. Overall it was pleasant but not sure I would return. Location is great! And super close to New Street station. Check In was easy and staff were nice.

Birthday Treat

It was amazing from start to finish. Amazing 2 ladies on reception, so friendly, helpfully and explained everything about items that were complementary or charged to room. Lovely little touches for breakfast and good quality, my granddaughter loved using fresh orange squeezer. Room was immaculate, and all you needed. Beautifully toiletries and nice big towels and bath robes. And a big comfortable bed, good nights sleep ❤️. It was my grandaughter birthday and after dropping bags and going for a wander till room was ready, returned to bags already in room and a card and chocolates for my grandaughter, very lovely touch. Area is safe and the buring and shopping area is literally on your doorstep and station just 5 minute walk. Would 100% recommend and will definitely stay here on our next trip to Birmingham. Thanks again ladies for an amazing stay❤️

I have stayed in a lot of hotels around the world - but the staff here were as helpful and attentive as the best. Immediate response to my questions - especially opening the washing machine and hanging it up to dry. Above and beyond. First rate customer service.

Rotunda is an excellent accommodation in the heart of Birmingham. Just right at the Centre of everything. Room cleanliness and organization is second to none. The reception kept me informed at all times and always behind his/her WhatsApp handle to provide guest with needed assistance. Mini bar is well stocked with necessary items and towels on constant supply. I felt safe staying at Rotunda and hope to come again.

Easy to find, main landmark in Birmingham. 5 mins walk from New St station. 16th floor and great views over New St and city. Main openable window doesn't seem to close properly so there is noise, but you get that in most cities. It doesn't have Air Con! Be aware of that, they do provide fans. Great kitchen area, nice seating, small but functional bathroom. Fruit provided for juicing along with granola and milk. Plus coffee and condiments. Well thought through for your requirements. May stay again but not in warm weather.
