Here you get what you pay for, very basic accommodation. The rooms smell a little and the shower rooms feel like your in a portable loo but if like me and your looking for a cheap place to crash after clubbing, this is the place to go. read more

Premier Inn Birmingham City Centre

This is a relatively new addition in a former office block on St Philip's Square (front rooms get a…read moreview of the Cathedral). Location wise, it's around five minutes from New St or Snow Hill stations and very central. It's as close as you get to a leafy spot in central Birmingham. The reception is stripped down, with self check-in and an assistant to help. Breakfast and dinner are provided in the adjacent Beefeater (named "Bar & Block"). The rooms are pretty standard, but quite well soundproofed, and I didn't suffer from external noise or that from other rooms. Free wifi was perfectly adequate for email and messaging. The beds are very comfortable, though neither the 'soft' or standard 'hard' pillows quite do it for me. The problem for sleeping, however, was the noise of the heating/cooling unit fan - an irritating whine which meant I had to turn it off to go to sleep and then awoke at 4am too warm. There was also a peculiar, intermittent watery noise, which I presume was someone flushing or washing elsewhere in the building, though it may have been the air-conditioning. Breakfast was ok, a fairly standard buffet, though Europeans would bemoan the lack of cheese and cold meats. I returned from getting a second cup of coffee to find the waitress clearing away the toast I had just buttered, although she apologised and offered to get me another. So, ok for the price (£118 including breakfast on a weeknight) but not outstanding value given the imperfect sleep.
Premier Inn is considered to be a budget chain hotel. However, having stayed at several of their…read morehotels in the last year, I have to say that I'm most impressed. The website is clear, comprehensive and it's easy to compare several nearby hotels to choose the most suitable one. My family and I stayed at this Premier Inn in Birmingham city centre earlier this year to attend the All England Badminton finals at the National Indoor Arena. The hotel is perfectly located in the city centre, close to all the shops and restaurants but only 20 minute walk along a pedestrianised route from the NIA. There is some metered parking outside the hotel but for longer term parking, it's best to use one of the many public car parks nearby. We used the Brunel Street car park which is a 5 minute walk away and cost around £8 for 24 hours on a Sunday. Check in is a funny affair with self service machines to enter your details but with very eager staff hovering to help. This hotel is very well staffed with helpful people and I'm not really sure why they don't just use a traditional check in system. The rooms were big and like other Premier Inns I've stayed at, quite modern and updated. There was a problem with the shower door in one of the rooms but we were given a new room immediately. The beds were comfortable. There was a nice looking on-site restaurant but we chose to eat out. This hotel satisfied both the CTG (Chinese Thrift Gene) and the CQG (Chinese Quality Gene)!

Breakfast was great, service was excellent and very prompt. Coffee was good too. At £16.95, its the most expensive I have eaten in Birmingham - but this does come with access to the pastries and cereals too - so its still expensive though, compared to others locally. Breakfast consists of eggs, (I had 2 perfectly poached ones), 2 bacon, a flat mushroom, half a tomato, black pudding, (not great - a bit crumbly) and a tiny sausage. Its a shame about the sausage - it should have been bigger or another should have been added to the breakfast. Would I go back? Possibly. There is some great competition in Birmingham

Clean, convenient and friendly…read more Just steps away from the jazzy vibe of this revived area of B'ham. The rooms are clean, the views are lovely and drinks at the bar are strong. If you need something, there is a Tesco express just down stairs. Easy parking in the building around the corner too. There are some noise issues on the weekends since this is a social-gathering area. If you're bothered by the noise, just strip off those PJ's, put back on your party pants (trousers) and get out there and join the fun. Restaurants in the area are mostly good. The best ones have a wait-time during peak times. If you don't want to wait, stroll down the canal, have a few pints at one of the local pubs and maybe grab a bite there. My only regret is that although it was August when we visited, it rained a lot and was a little miserable because of that. Oh well, better than the massive heat wave that was on us just a week prior!

However, overall hotel room comfort did not meet expectations. When we checked in, our room was very hot due to the sun coming in the windows. The AC didn't work properly and the front desk was very slow in finding someone to solve the problem. Because we faced the street, it was too noisy to have the windows open at night to get fresh air. Perhaps I would have felt differently if given a room in the back with a view of the gardens. This was our least favorite hotel out of the six we stayed in during a 7-day walking tour.
This review is particularly for Afternoon Tea at FIG restaurant only…read more We stopped by after strolling around Chipping Campden without making prior reservation. The staffs were courteous and kindly checked for availability for us. We then were greeted and seated soon after. The service at Fig was great. The tea selections are great.

Breakfast was a bog standard affair the usual cooked offerings along side cereal, toast, yogurts and fruit. This hotel definitely does what it says on the tin and in a very good location.
I honestly think when you hear the words "airport hotel" you have to temper your expectations so I…read morewasn't expecting much of this hotel and that is pretty much what I got. There was no wifi in my room which in 2013 I don't find acceptable; I travel with an iPad and you can't plug that in to an ethernet cable. It turns out there was free wifi in the lobby but I wasn't told that at check-in and there was no information about it in my room. I would have gladly sat and done some work in the lobby if I'd known. I was there on business and in my business I NEED internet. The check-in staff were friendly enough but the wait staff in the restaurant I don't think have ever heard the phrase "the customer is always right." Again it's an airport hotel--I tempered my expectations of the extremely over-priced food. My colleagues had a few simple complaints and each time they were met with wait staff that challenged them instead of just correcting the mistake. The food was okay but not near worth what was charged. The room itself was fine but the hallways were musty and smelly. The TV in the room did not get any of the terrestrial channels clearly--the picture was fuzzy, would come in and out of colour and pop and crackle. Considering I had no wifi to stream tv as I normally would this was less than ideal. The shower temperature did not regulate. It intermittently would go from scalding to freezing with no warning. While low water pressure is something I might expect in a hotel ever changing water temperature is not. My room was very noisy with the obvious boom of aircraft taking off punctuating the night and morning but also it seemed I was below a conference room perhaps as I was also woken up by the noise of furniture being rearranged above me with banging and scraping. I don't like writing bad reviews. The free shuttle to/from the NEC/Aiport/Station was nice and it was great to be able to have breakfast in bed included in my room cost but again the coffee that came with my breakfast was awful. No amount of sugar or milk could make it drinkable. It's an airport hotel--don't plan on eating on site, bring ear plugs and be prepared for limited internet access in room (if you do have a cable you'll need to pay £15 to access it!) and it would be a good place if you have an early flight I guess.

The staff on reception were friendly and helped us out instantly, letting us charge for the room on one of our cards. The room was a standard travelodge but I found it to be larger than other I have been in and the bathroom was nice and large too. In the morning I was in no rush so I stuck around in bed and watched the telly for a bit, trying up to muster the courage to drag myself outside for a much needed breakfast.

It's a budget hotel, it's a budget option, it's not expensive…read more I have to remind myself of this when passing judgement because I'm a bit of a hotel snob, and will usually pay for that extra level of luxury. I booked this place because A it was a 7 minute walk from the o2 academy where I got to spend the majority of my Thursday and B it was very cheap for its location. The lobby actually looks really smart of a budget hotel to be honest by that quickly departs when you get to the rooms. They are basic, your expecting that though and they are for the most part clean. The toilet is in its own little room, there is a capsule shower and the sink is in the main room somewhere between these. You have a tv, I did not check the functionality of this. To be honest I tried to spend as little time in the room as possible so it's a great way to force yourself outside. There are no complimentary toiletries, we did have a bar of soap and some towels though. Hairdryers are available from the reception area and they do seem more trusting than the Bloc Hotel who seemed to think I was out to steal it. I'll have you know I steal hotel glassware not hair dyers! I would stay here again for the o2 academy, it's so nearby and about 10-15 minute walk from new street station. I could only manage one night here though to be honest. The best thing? I can see Quarter Horse Coffee from my rooms window :3

The price was great, but it really is basic. There was a double bed with a single bunk on top. When we arrived we found the to be clean but very small. The beds were all unmade. The toilet was tiny, felt like it was a broom cupboard! There was a shower but we didn't use it, again it was tiny and also offered little privacy. It was very, very basic. I had to hire a hairdryer and pay a £10 deposit, also if you need shower gel etc you have to buy it at the reception. For the price it was okay and perfect for a quick stopover. My main qualm was how come the room was. It was so cold I couldn't sleep, so i'm marking it down a star. there appeared to be no form of heating in the room - the corridors were a lot warmer than the room itself!

I made the mistake of booking a standard room and was assigned to room 226. The lighting was too white and limited to certain spots, making shady areas that gave the vibe of an abandoned hospital room. The carpet was blotched with blood red patterns. And worse. The painting from hell. With stoic faces that blend into the background but creeped me out once I noticed. Two sunken, worn out chairs that looked like someone's grandparents had died in them. It felt like this room was watching me. The double bed in the standard room can't fit two people comfortably, especially since I have a tendency to roll around. I immediately went downstairs and asked for a room with a bigger bed and more welcoming decor. For 25 pounds more a night, I was given a luxurious room that felt welcoming. Worth every pound. Location is very convenient from Birmingham New Street station just take the Stephenson St exit and you are literally right across from the hotel entrance.

Firstly, if you need a place to stay in Birmingham then you can't fault this hotel for location- it's spot on for being as close to the train station and the city centre as possible. You have everything on your doorstep- the mailbox, the bullring, new street, Victoria square... No need for public transport at all! The hotel itself is quite Victorian inspired, with a grand reception and an old fashioned style. The staff were lovely, and I was over the moon with the luxury suite. The bathroom was the highlight- a standalone bath and a huge walk in shower. Myself and a friend were booked in for dinner and breakfast too, meaning we didn't need to leave the hotel to dine out. The restaurant was very quiet for a Friday night... We had a 7.30 pm booking and there were three of us in the whole restaurant, killing the atmosphere a bit. However, the food was lovely. I went for smoked haddock with spinach mash, and me and my friend shared a prawn cocktail starter too. Couldn't fault the food or the service- just a shame the atmosphere was so dead! Breakfast was the oppiset- it was that busy we struggled for a table. The continental set up was great; cereal, bagels, toast, croissants, cakes, fruits, yoghurts, meats, cheeses, fruit juices- so much choice. The cooked breakfast was also delicious and came with a potato cake! Winner! A lovely place to stay and would recommend to anyone

The location is definitely the closest you'll get to the city centre but I'm not sure that this overrides the condition of the hotel. Although the rooms are cleaned thoroughly when needed, the bathrooms need a definite upgrade. The room I stayed in last had a leaky ceiling that continued to leak and spread across the ceiling until I let someone know of the above room leaking. I feel the bathroom is borderline gross. The towels are hard as are the pillows and bed. The homelessness right outside the front door is sad but I wonder why other accommodations aren't made for these poor folks who are sleeping, smoking and eating right outside the front door. I may have had to stay longer due to business reasons and was told that upon my next visit they would give me a discount if I just emailed them. I tried recently but my emails went unanswered. Probably a good thing, since I found a better accommodation not too much further and at a better price. It saddens me that they let this property go.

I was geekily excited to be staying in an apartment hotel room, the idea of having a kitchen and I would not get chance to use :( and a sofa as well. Plus it has amicable wardrobe space. I've stayed in hotel La Tour and I'm telling you now I preferred the adagio! Everything inside the rooms are spotlessly clean, the hallways have some psychedelic carpet but that seems to be the only let down in the decor. There are plenty of lights so you can actually see what your doing, no sulky mood lighting which looks great but is not practical. The bathroom as again finished to a very high standard with a standard vanity mirror and built in LED lights but also a moveable magnified mirror. The shower was a decent side. It wasn't a power shower but again very clean. When I first walked in the bed was down and made, more so to prove its existence I think. I can imagine people walking in and immediately calling reception exclaiming that there's only a sofa are they expected to sleep on a sofa for £100 a night!! After a quick removal of the back visions I lifted the bed up and built my sofa. Expanding the room and laying my desire for a Murphy bed of my own. To be honest I could live in a place that compact quite happily. The staff when checking in and out were friendly and pleasant.

After reporting to the front desk, we were informed maintenance would fix the issue the following day, but in the end never came.

Just by the canal and an abundance of restaurant. All main attractions in the city less than ten mins walk away. It actually took ages to find a decent place at the right price based on previous reviews. Everyone commented on the noise from party goers everywhere - and in particular with Jurys Inn - the noise from the maids lift. But we plumped for Jurys Inn because they had the B&B deals and the company has a good rep. We simply requested a room away from the lift. As it was on the 11th floor we had two peaceful nights sleep in the most AMAZING bed ever. It was so huge I didn't even notice the Mrs was in the bed next to me when I woke up. The rooms are spacious and so so clean. There's no faffing in the room and no mini fridge (ie temptation) which is perfect for us. The whole hotel was clean and bright and pretty. Good security at night and efficient service throughout. Negatives -Awkward moment when checking in - the guy behind the counter was a tad baffled about two women sharing a double room, bless. -Annoying heating/air conditioning in room.

The reason I probably wouldn't return is that it's not the best area. The hotel is near the police station and sirens were frequent. Walking from the train station (about an 8 min walk) watched a guy launch his newspaper into the bushes on the side of the walking path. Not an area I would want to walk around at night. On the plus side, the tram to Birmingham stops very close to the hotel. Not very many restaurants around if you don't have a car to get around.
