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 check-in staff were surly but... more

I had booked two doulble rooms through GTA travel. On arrival at reception they said only one room had been reserved. Luckily I had taken a printout with me as I'd prepaid for the rooms, I handed this over and a second room was given to us, after some huffing and puffing. We decided to havea couple of drinks in... more

We thought that as its a business trip, we'll try and save a little money. Big,Big mistake. On arrival, a police officer was walking in and out - we were wondering, is anything going on here, but decided to stop being so suspicious. When booking in, we asked about the menu for the restaurant, and if we could take it... more

I would reccomend avoiding this hotel at all costs. I am used to staying in adequate, business orientated hotels due to travelling widely with work, however I have not stayed in many hotels as bad as this one. When I arrived at the hotel I was not greeted at all by the receptionist, which may have been because she had... more

To be honest i don't really know where to start. The hotel itself looked okay,however once you get to the room you soon change your mind. The room smelt,had a plug for the bath that was meant for the sink,it was also boiling hot-got no sleep at all!!! The lift only worked to go up a level,when you wanted to... more

Stayed in this hotel for two nights in mid-August 2008 on a work trip. Finding the place location was bit difficult since it's located outside the city in Edgbaston. 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

I worked for many years in the hospitality trade and find myself at hotels in and around this area weekly. I feel that I try and be as fair as possible. This is the first time that I stayed here and I just feel that a little refurbishment would be great for the place. Breakfast was fine and so were... more

Smelly Hotel!!! I booked the hotel couple days before my stay for one night with the girlfriend. Checked in at reception, went upstairs towards my room, as we approached the room we noticed the strong smell, and as we got to the room the smell was absolutely awful. The windows were open probably to get some fresh air in but... more

Myself and my fiance stayed at this hotel as we were down in Birmingham on business. It is situated on a main road and can be noisey at night (our room was at the front of the hotel). We paid £40 for double room for one night B&B. Room was clean enough, small on suite bathroom. We ate in the... more
