“Very Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2011

I stayed here for 2 nights mainly because the Crowne Plaza was full. The rooms are okay, showeres are a bit weak though.
My main gripe is the restaurant food menue. It really is not that good and the quality of the food is mediocre at best. The staff are not all that motivated either form my observations.
The bar area is dull and seriously needs a make-over
I won't be coming back unless I am really desperate.

“Great location & price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2011

Reception was very friendly and gave us directions to find the lift and room location. We were on the S floor which I presume stands for 'Standard' - for £50 for the night you can't really complain. The room was very clean and spacious with a good size bed and desk, the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was a good size and the shower was exceptional with very good water pressure and massage setting.

The room lacked any view from the window all you could see was the flat roof of the floor below. You could hear noise from the corridor which was a little annoying when trying to take an afternoon nap. I was unhappy with the 'welcome' back to the hotel after our night out, we were 'greeted' by a very unfriendly door-man who asked what room number we were staying at and checking this and our name against his list before then asking to see our room key as well - he wasn't very polite.

I would definitely stay at this hotel again for the price and only a couple of minutes walk from bars, clubs, take-aways and convenience shops.

“Very Good - Holiday Inn is always the safe option!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2008

Booked into this hotel via Hotel Pronto despite the Holiday Inn website saying there was no availability. Paid £66 which is quite good value for the city centre.
The location was perfect for enjoying the sights and sounds of Birmingham. Bull Ring was poor, compared to the Metro Centre, Meadowhall, Trafford Centre, no wonder it was so rammed with people if thats all that Birmingham has for shopping centres. We were dissapointed with this and the surrounding area and were concerned as to how we were going to have a good night in some nice bars and restaurants, but then we found the Mailbox and Broad Street and this solved all our problems and had a great night.
Back to the hotel, the room was great, good size, very clean, bathroom clean modern, shower excellent, nice and warm, plasma TV. Nothing lacking at all. The view was poor but what do you expect in city centre Birmingham, a sea view!!
Breakfast was fine, very busy but late finishing at 11am was good to allow a lye in!
My wife also left a top and GHD straightners and feared that these would not be seen again but we rang them and they were posted two days later. Fantastic!
All in all well recommended, staff attentive, rooms clean and modern. Negative was price of parking at £14 and when we got to the barrier it was stuck open so we could have got away without paying!
Would definately stay again.

  • Liked — Good clean, modern rooms, location, security, breakfast, staff
  • Disliked — The view, parking options/prices
