"I was initially given a room with limited or no internet access. The second night, I switched to a room where the internet access was adequate. However, the ringer on the phone was broken. An attempt to fix the ringer failed. An attempt to replace the phone broke the phone jack in the wall -- phone was replaced the next day." (97231285)
location and price
first room - internet didn't work; 2nd room - phone didn't ring; last morning - no phone service at all

"Overall I can say your service is ok if compare with your price at the Birmingham other hotels but still you can improve human resources in the hotel " (107217817)
Welcome desk employees are quiet efficient to handle the operations
Most of the time restaurant is managed by only one waiter therefore lacks of food serve items and cleaning problems noted this area. Room has internet connection problems reported several days but unable find solutions when we left from the hotel

"Overall the hotel was clean and comfortable and in very good location, this had a downside though as a lot of noise could be heard because of local night clubs. The room was at the back of the hotel and backed on to venues that stayed open late and were very noisy." (107225781)
Clean room, comfy bed, ensuite facilities were good.
Paying for the t.v, expensive for a room without any extras i.e toiletries or free use of t.v. Room was very noisy at night because of local night clubs. i have stayed in the hotel before and not had to pay for the t.v, so I dont know when this changed but I feel it is unfair to have to pay for basic t.v use.

"Bad points: We had to hunt down reception staff ourselves which was rather disappointing, and also staff kept entering in the room in the morning even though we'd told the first person we didn't wish to be disturbed. Good points: Good value, nice and clean, and everything worked as it should." (97944893)
Plain, simple and functional- just what we needed
A bath would have been good, and opening the window took up half the room!

"Excellent location, friendly staff. Rooms are small and basic but serve a purpose. Not sure it's worth the rack-rate. If it was cheaper I'd definately recommend it." (97071750)
Convenient location
Very small rooms and not very well sound-proofed.

Closeness to railway station
The hotel is basically worn out, overdue for refurbishment.

"Good value for money in a lively part of town. Can be a bit noisy outside, but didn't really filter into room excessively" (97093213)
Price, location (close to New Street Station), Reception Area well presented
Near a noisy area of bars, but a reasonable job has been done of sound insultation. Shower room was tiny!

ease for location and train station (New Street)
The Bed !! I reserved in advance a Double Bed - what we got was two singles pushed together -- which is not a double bed >??

central position, nearby parking
standard of the room was very poor, he carpets were quite stained, the wall by the bed was crqacked and crumbling. The shower area had lots of mold along the base of the tiles and the drain in the shower was loose, revealing a filth and mold. The toilet was also in need of a thorough clean.

The reception staff were delightful - very friendly and helpful. I was looked after by a young French lady who was very charming. The lobby area was pleasant and inviting.
The room was a bit shabby - especially the bathroom. The location was exceptionally noisy for a Monday evening (not your fault), but upi may want to think about better sound insulation on the front of the hotel.

"Enjoyed our stay. Room was very basic but had high standard of cleanliness which is extremely important to us. Shower room too was very basic but clean and the shower was excellent :) Can't complain at all and had a good nights sleep certainly not disturbed by any local noise despite the area outside being extremely busy as it was a Thursday night. Would stay here again for the price." (97261496)
Close proximity to Hippodrome and Bullring and easy access from A38
No breakfast included in price !!!

"I would have liked to be have been informed that it was noisy outside - luckily I brought earplugs, but otherwise I would not have been able to sleep." (97366476)
Clean, compact, close to theatre and train station.
It was very noisy outside - thicker windows needed!
