Had a disco on and had thumping sound in the room half the night. Stale smell in the room opening window made no difference. They don't serve breakfast until 8am so if you need to go earlier which I did you only get a basic breakfast. more

I've been going to the Great Barr Hotel for a few years now, for group get-togethers. First visit was shortly after they refurbished about 3 years ago, and it was OK, not brilliant but OK. My subsequent visits saw facilities slowly being not looked after and a lowering of cleaning standards, but it was ok and the group as a... more

Stayed at the Great Barr Hotel for 4 days for business. We had dinner included in out b+b tariff but the standard room with breakfast is only £35 a night; I don't know a hotel -good or bad- that is this cheap! The room was very small but had a 19" LG LCD tv and the bed was small but... more

Oh no, we took one look at the tiny, shabby room from which we could hear every word from the room across the hall and turned tail and ran. The only redeeming feature was that nice chap on reception who refunded our money. Hideous. more

If you can call The Great Barr Hotel a hotel, you have not been to a hotel ! 1) Staff.....Boarding on or were just damn rude. Except Sue, who was the waitress at breakfast. 2) Food....If that grade of food was from a chef, Gordon Ramsey would have a field day. Ask for a medium rare steak...get a chargrilled McDonalds... more

Just spent a Saturday night at this hotel. The room was large and clean though a little tired. We stayed in the basement or lower ground floor and had a really quiet nights sleep. The room was non smoking but still smelled of smoke as people had been smoking out of the window (yuck) the staff were excellent and really... more
