I stayed in the Portland hotel last night, i attended a friend's hen night in Birmingham. My first impressions were that the hotel was old and dated but clean and cheap, a reasonable place to lay your head for one night. £30 for a single room & a £6 taxi journey to Broad Street.

The first looks seemed to be from the 70's, but my room was fine. Room was big enough and everything worked well. People at the reception were friendly in helping how... more

or the ceiling.The room was awful everywhere including the lift stank.The bathroom had mould all in it and the plughole still had all the hairs in, of all the past residents.Couldn't eat breakfast as if the kitchens were as bad as the bedrooms I probably would not be alive to tell this tale............... more
