    The room was quite dark, lighting low and dark painted walls. The TV was on a side wall and could have been better situated in front of the beds.

    Staff were very helpful and friendly, the hotel was convenient for city centre. Beds were comfortable and temperature was good.

    I stayed with my daughter from 14th to 16th February, and really enjoyed our stay. The staff were excellent. My daughter was unwell on the last day and the receptionist who I think was called Shannon purchased her some chocolates and a hot water bottle. A lovely act of kindness we will always remember. MANY THANKS.

    Perfect location for B’ham New Street and great value

    • Stayed 1 night

    Everything was very good - the only comment I would make is that I was very hot in the night. The next morning I found that the duvet was a heavy double feather duvet, doubled over to fit a single bed. But to be fair, I don’t like a heavy or hot duvet so it may be personal preference.

    Generous sized room with a good bathroom. The hotel is 3 minutes walk from Birmingham New Street railway station (use the Stephensons Street exit) and a flat 5 minutes walk from the Town Hall. It was surprisingly quiet, given the location. Everything was immaculately clean.

    The room was at the back of the hotel overlooking a scruffy building and walkway. If stopping for more than one night I would have asked to be moved . Room was overlooked with no net curtains to pull across It looks tired and needs a refurb but will say it was clean though.

    Central location ideal spot for the theatre nearby where we was going

    Wasn’t that I didn’t like the property, but the shower does have a pressure temperament issue. If you have patience and turn the dials, it stays on for long enough. We laughed it off, it’s a harmless problem that fixes itself if you just turn the dial. there’s always the option to have a bath, so either way you will be clean.

    Great place to stay. The bed was so comfortable, the second I lay down I was nodding off. no noise disturbances. considering the pub is downstairs and it were busy, there wasn’t a single thing heard. Tea and coffee station was supplied with everything from oat milk to biscuits (of course they was opened straight away, can’t beat a biscuit) whoever the cleaning staff are, they deserve recognition. We also need to appreciate the bathroom had a heated towel rail which was the best thing I’ve seen. Added security with key cards throughout all doors, so nobody from the pub can wonder around the hotel. They supplied lots of towels, which is fabulous, they are a great size…not like your standard small hotel towel. All of the staff were lovely, I’m unsure of the lady’s name who booked me in, but she was bubbly and gave us all the information we needed to know. The next morning, another wonderful member of staff asked if I slept well and if the room were okay. If you are looking for a hotel that will give you the moneys worth, book it now. Don’t wait, just do it. To the management and staff of this hotel, Thankyou. I’ll be back!

    The bed was a bit short for me, a little bit outdated but not disturbingly and it was comfortable and clean.

    Close to the station, the lift was in maintenence but I was informed about this which is fair. I like the fact there's was plenty of tea and some cookies available at the room

    The lighting in such a small room is quite misplaced, causing it to be quite dark in the middle of the room with lighting only really available around the outer edges. add to the fact that the window view was of a wall for the neighbouring building, and the room was quite dark even in daylight.

    A very nice, clean room and a very comfortable bed. Welcoming and helpful reception staff, and a great location to all of our needs in Birmingham.

    The bed could have been larger.

    Clean, warm, central and staff were smiling and couldn’t do enough for you. The extras like free hot drinks from the bar as well as your room was a nice touch. The room had ironing board, fan loads of extras.

    Despite efforts of staff TV remote didn't work. Couldn't get towel rail to heat. Shower in the evening was not warm enough, though fine in the morning (just). Breakfast was served by a surly young man who was plainly not interested in his customers. Smokers hanging around the doors.

    Excellent room, central for the city. Clean and comfortable. Great reception staff, looked after our bags before check in and after check out.
