Disliked: Room comfort
Room was absolutely ridiculously hot and had a fan going. I rang reception to ask if any other rooms were cooler and was told no but receptionist said she would switch aircon on from there. I phoned back about 20 min later as aircon had not come on - was told she would reset it and it takes 20-30 mins to cool down. It didn’t ever come on and about 1.5 hours later at 10:35pm receptionist called me to say I could move to another room with 2 fans (aircon had still not come on). Alternative room was very slightly cooler and also had no working aircon but I repacked and moved as anything was better than the absolute oven I was in.

Convenient, clean but a little tired

We have stayed in a few of the balcony rooms to date. They’re always lovely. However, this time the room was looking a little tired. The curtains were hanging off the rails in 2 places & we didn’t have any patio furniture which was a shame as the balcony was very large. Other balcony rooms we’ve stayed in before had patio furniture so we could make the most of being outside.

Hotel rooms were clean and modern. Unfortunately the air-conditioning wasnt working in any of the rooms, we were provided with a useless fan which just circulated the hot air meaning our room was 28°c all night.

Wouldn’t recommend

Very old and tired with no obvious maintenance. Carpets filthy, curtains ripped. Air con broken in a room like a greenhouse. I’m assuming as in administration since late last year, no investment has been made. Reception staff not welcoming and seemed disinterested. Only silver lining was breakfast in Marco Pierre White restaurant which was very nice and had attentive staff.

The breakfast was lovely and the areas special with the views. The staff were all smiley friendly and helpful. The rooms were good spec but the carpets had lots of marks and spills on it. The room was incredibly hot and the air conditioning didn’t seem to be working. There were some fans in the room which helped a little but not much through the night. No one mentioned that there was a problem. Very good site in the centre of Birmingham and worked for us.

Despite being advertised, property has no aircon. Unfortunately travelled on one of the hottest days, and all they could provide was a tower fan to recirculate the warm air around the room. Not the best experience and staff seemed to have heard the same complaint over and over.

I liked the location and ease of access from downtown. The entire experience has been soured by the lack of notification of a pre-existing problem at the hotel in regards the non working AC. The fact that we aren't refunded following default by the hotel to provide advertised facilities is criminal and I will let everyone I meet know not to stay at the establishment.

Not up-front about a room with a broken TV

The room was nice and clean and the hotel was furnished in a modern way. We checked in as early as possible at 3pm but we were given a room they knew had a broken TV. When I complained they said no one was able to help fix it and the hotel was full so no room change was possible. They gave a slight discount but only because I complained and asked for it. A working TV is important in a hotel room and so the visit was spoiled because of this. I was disappointed that they were not up front about the TV and put us in a room with a fault, and I found it hard to believe that no room change was possible in such a large hotel. We also chose this hotel on the hotels.com app because it said it had parking, and the assumption with that is that it means free parking. It cost over £20 even with a pre-booked discount and is next to the hotel but not on site.
