Just thought I’d let you know about the awful experience I had at the Paragon Hotel on Wednesday night of the 12/6. I would recommend asking for the money back. On 1st entering the hotel everything seemed fine, however when I got to my room it was a different story. On entering the room there was an overwhelming smell of... More

This hotel is apparently an old converted workhouse dating from the late 1800's. It's built in brick in a "U"shape with the central part (presumably once the old work area) now the exhibition hall and central restaurant. On the downsides So it's in a poor area, an £8 taxi ride from the central Birmingham area. You can't change that. It's... More

The most dirty , grotty place . We were only there for one night thank goodness, the first room they gave us wouldn't even open as the lock was damaged. The second room had a toilet that wouldn't flush as the handle had come off the wall and there were very nasty stains on the carpet !!! The third room... More

Unfortunately i have nothing good to say about this hotel, I had booked a 1 night mid week stay at the Paragon Hotel, along with 2 friends (3 women aged 34 -40) as we had a major exam and didn't want the stress of travelling on the day. I now wish we hadn't as we had probably the worst nights... More

The rooms in this hotel are disgusting. They smell of urine, the carpets are heavily stained and the bedding is not clean. The bathrooms are mouldy and the dust in the room has obviously been sat there for months. Would NEVER stay there again!!! Vile!

With hindsight I only have myself to blame for booking this hotel and expecting anything other than what I got, as Birmingham city centre hotels are inexplicably expensive, with £150+ appearing to be what you have to pay for something decent. The Paragon is a miserable place to spend a night. The room had a tiny TV (no remote control,... More

Probably the worst experience of my life!! I was staying here for a really important exam, on my way to Birmingham on the train I read some reviews which were all appalling, and I built it up in my head to be really bad! But I went in with the positive idea of, if I build it up badly in... More

Looking at the pictures on the website, I was amazed such a hotel close to the city centre would be such a reasonable price, so I booked it quickly!! Wish I hadn't bothered. My room looked nothing like the picture of their "standard" double room, the flat screen TV was far from flat, about 10" big, older than me I... More

It's true to say that this hotel is tired and it does feel like you are staying in a hostel, but I honestly enjoyed my stay. After all, it was a different experience. The staff were extremely pleasant and accommodating, even at breakfast, which reminded me of being on a school stay in a youth hostel but nevertheless, as I... More
