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)!

The breakfast is excellent, try the eggs royale! The restaurant, The Terrace Brasserie is a beautiful intimate restaurant. Our meal was delicious and the service is excellent, although per person it's about £45 a head for 3 courses and a drink. They do take Taste Card though and you can use hand picked hotel points to get a free meal! The reason I haven't given 5 stars is the price of the drinks, a Hendricks gin and tonic is £9.50!

The rooms were clean, the breakfast and service was excellent and the location and garden were perfect. Our hosts, Mark, Julie and Eloise never tired of answering our many questions.

I stay at hotels at least 75 nights a year minimum and have for the last 20 years. This is by far the WORST hotel experience I have had! I am a Platinum Elite member but not that that really matters (and it certainly did not to this hotel) The only reason that we did not leave this hotel and go somewhere else is because I had been driving a rental for several hours (and being from the US I was having to drive on the opposite side of the car and road as what I am use to which is stressful), it was raining and it was 11:50 PM. Upon check in I asked for a cup of ice -- sorry no ice...well i need to get a couple of bottles of water, nope, no bottles of water, but I was told that I could drink the water out of the bathroom tap! I should have left then...but again I was very tiredI got to the room and it had an odd smell--not horrible but odd and it was warm...and the A/C did not rectify that! The shower had mildew/mold growing in it. There was one bath towel and one hand towel--that's it! The lighting was atrocious... I wanted to take a shower, put night clothes on and go to sleep...but instead I put on some clean golf pants and a t-shirt laid down on top of the sheet after I inspected it with my flashlight (lighting was soooo bad in the room). I finally opened the window because it was cooler outside than inside and it smelled better outside---thank goodness it opened. I can't believe that Holiday Inn allows them to carry their name.
