This will be the last time I go to this hotel. The only reason we ended up here was because the holiday inn was full ! :-(. Check in was ok...nothing special but quick, the rooms, well they were adequate enough but stuffy. The same people doing breakfast. This made me laugh the last time. The staff all looked hung...

Dear Simon D Thank you for you taking the time to write a review on trip advisor. I always welcome comments from our guests. However at times some of the comments leave me slightly bewildered. The comment you made regarding the bedroom being stuffy, our hotel is only 2.5 years old, and a very modern and contemporary building. The bedrooms... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Trip Advisor. I am sorry that there was a wait at breakfast, during you stay there were some large groups in one from a theatre company who all ate at the same time, causing some delay in relaying the tables. Once again thank you for your comments. Wilma Orr More

Having stayed at a number of hotels in Birmingham over the years, we both feel this is one of the best we have booked. Great location, just down the road from the Bull Ring and a short walk away from the Mailbox. Our room was clean and modern, with a "wet room" style shower arrangement. Lots of soft towels, tea...

Picked this hotel for its location-close to the Alexandra theatre, 8 mins walk from New Street station, and, for 1 night that was the criteria. To find a bright modern hotel with top class staff, good amenities, value for money menu and great atmosphere was a bonus i rarely come across in my travels.Well done guys. Norman Derby
