We spent over £100 for a 1 night stay and on arrival we were impressed by the location and reception area. The staff were wonderful and friendly. They really couldn't be faulted. However the room was shocking. On intial glance it could pass for 4 star. But the window frame was broken and the noise from the new side of... More

Stayed for a week whilst exhibiting at the NEC. Very clean and tidy hotel. In a fantastic location opposite new street station. Room was clean and tidy. Mine was compact but the others in the group had large rooms. Bathroom was very clean. Only takes 15 mins on the train for the NEC. It was easier staying at this hotel... More

On arrival we were greeted by professional and friendly staff, who sorted out our reservation quickly - both our rooms were upgraded and we were offered a complimentary bottle of wine for us to drink in the bar before our evening out, which was very well received...

I recently popped in to have a cup of coffee and a look around. This is one of Birmingham's original grand hotels boasting a secret network of tunnels (now sadly closed) from the close by New Street train station. In days gone these tunnels would transport the wealthy guests luggage unseen from train to bed room. Nowadays it's perfectly acceptable... More

I stayed here in October 2012, as part of a business trip. The hotel is really lovely. I was in a recently referbished room, looking out onto the pedestrianised street below (I think on the 4th Floor). The rooms are lovely, and the bed was super comfy. Bathroom is great, with towles, bath robes and slippers provided. The location couldnt... More

An excellent all round hotel with exceptionally attentive staff. I really can't say too much about the friendliness of the staff. One hundred metres from the new entrance to New Street station it couldn't be more central - right in the middle of the pedestrianized city centre area.
