I stayed for a few nights at the weekend rate which included breakfast and it still cost 108 pounds a night. This is far more expensive than similar hotels (and you have to pay 15 pounds for cabled internet, when most hotels have free wireless) and the location is on the five ways roundabout which is a shabby area and... more

It did not get off to a good start. Payment for my room had been arranged in advance but there was no record of this. I suggested that their records be checked but in the meantime had to secure the booking with my own card. About 20 minutes after getting to my room it was confirmed that the appropriate notification... more

I have stayed at the Birmingham Marriott on several occassions and love it. The rooms are well furnished, they are clean, they have all the facilities you would expect and the beds are to die for!! When I compare this to other hotel's my company sends me to - Jury's in Newcastle and Glasgow - this hotel is in a... more

Overall, we are very happy with the Marriott. We had a spacious corner room with a very large bathroom. Bathrobes, slippers and nice hairdryer in room. Comfortable bed. Safe in the room. One bottle of sparkling water by bedside. Employees are very helpful and nice. Possible downsides: we had to ask for luggage racks, but they were delivered promptly. Not... more

Food is good - room service, restaurant and bar. There's a good curry night in the bar on Tuesday evenings. Rooms are a good size and have all necessary facilities... more

A comfortable hotel, but rather disappointing that internet usage was expensive (£15 for 24 hours, I think). A hotel of this quality should provide this, and a daily paper, free more

This used to be the Birmingham Swallow, and at the time was reputed as Birminghams only prestige hotel. Been part of the Marriott chain for many years now but its easy to see why it was viewed as Birminghams only prestige hotel as all rooms are an exceptional size which coupled with Marriotts excellent bed make this a cracking stay…but…well... more

I have stayed at the Birmingham Marriott several times on business. It is a fairly typical business hotel and appointed in standard Marriott style. It is somewhat centrally located, but just a little up Broad street from other business hotels (Hyatt, Novotel) as well as ICC, NEC, Bridley place, food, shopping, and restaurants and so is a little quieter.
