I stayed for 3 nights at this hotel whilst attending an exhibition at the NEC. The rooms are reasonably well equipped and clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. I only had breakfast in the hotel and although the dining room was very busy the staff were well organised and you didn't have to wait long to get a... More

Well appointed, reasonably priced hotel with friendly staff and excellent amenities, very close to NEC/LG Arena - 10 to 15 minute pleasant walk. Didn't use the restaurant, but the bar was comfortable and the staff helpful. Breakfast was good value, very tasty and, again, the staff were very efficient. More

I've been to The Arden a few times now and really it's not as bad as some reviews say. As with so many hotels it's the quality of the rooms that gice overall impressions and perhaps what you pay for them. It's middle of the road, ok, nothing special. The food is quite good in the restaurant though breakfast good... More

The only reason why this hotel survives is the NEC . Had to re-assemble the TV and repair the shower door. Dirty carpet , old furnishings , poor quality cosmetics . Absolutely nothing good to say apart from its a short drive to the NEC . More

Was booked in at this hotel in error so had no expectations which was just as well. Receptionist was rather abrupt. The double room we were given was cramped and the bathroom was actually just a shower room, no toiletries, tiny, rather grubby and little in the way of water pressure. The breakfast was nice though.

Overall a great located and value for money hotel. Not quite contemporary but more of a "chesterfield" feel. I marked midway for cleanliness as the sheets and such like were clean but before we left we found empty contact lense cases that didn't belong to us on the windowsill so attention to detail is slightly lacking. We never mentioned it... More

I regularly use hotels on business, the Arden has provided a reasonable place to sleep, the room was dark, and with the air conditioning turned off quiet. The bar provides reasonable food at a reasonable price. One of my colleagues stayed in 134 which has a hot water pipe running through it and even with the air con at full... More

Dated decor and interiors but it all sort of works and there is free wi-fi via BTOpenzone, and it is a good location for the NEC which is the reason I was here. There is a gym and a pool but I didn't manage to sample them. More

I recently stayed at The Arden for 2 nights whilst I was on a business trip. The room had 2 single beds, a flat screen tv, tea & coffee making facilities. I was able to use my laptop in my room which was a bonus. The room was clean and basic. It was great to order room service for both... More
