Adequate stay for one night.

Only stayed for one night for a gig at the O2. It’s perfectly placed for this venue, and a relatively short walk from Birmingham Central rail stations or coach station. Plus lots of nice restaurants and the Bullring Centre not far away. Room was adequate, comfortable and relatively quiet. Cleanliness was adequate in the room, the stairway leading up to the rooms was a bit shabby. The Continental breakfast was basic but again, adequate.

The room was stupidly small, the window did not open at all as it was deliberately stuck as it was a wooden sash window, so the heat and smell were uncomfortable. No-one from the company owning it on site during the night - this became obvious when the fire alarm went off and it took over half an hour before anyone arrived. A pipe leak had started the alarm in my bathroom while I slept. I was in the place less than 5 hours, supposedly for a nice rest!

Great value

Cheap and cheerful. Great value for money. Clean and comfortable with a decent continental breakfast. Cannot complain for the cost. Staff really friendly. Stairs to room really steep... So not good if you have mobility issues.

Sleepless stay

Television didn’t work in single room, so very good & quick to offer a double room instead, unfortunately the double room was at front of building with an extremely noisy road next to it, the room was single glazed & old windows I didn’t sleep properly all night even with the supplied ear protection. To top it all the television didn’t work properly in the morning, should have stayed in original single room at back of property.

Lovely Place

I only stayed one night and had to get up at 4am for a 6am flight bit my stay was nice. Ruby checked me in and she's brilliant! The pub area was nice and comfortable. I had the room on the main floor since I had a heavy suitcase and didn't want tondrag ot up the stairs.

Pay a little more and get a premier bin

Room not big enough to swing a cat, bed was a double and very comfortable but took up entire room. Everything clean if a little tired. Ancient windows let in all the noise from busy road outside, only bearable when incredibly drunk. Room cleaners shouting and wailing at each other in adjacent rooms from early in morning unbearable even when drunk
