Stayed for just the one night, room was clean, not a massive room but fine as I did not spend much time in there. As meantioned on other reviews, the half price breakfast is still being offered when checking in. I found that on decaf coffee in my room, but they were quick to deliver some normal coffee. Also as... more

A colleague and I stayed in two "standard single" rooms on the fourth floor which were, as mentioned in other reviews, a tad on the small side, but perfectly adequate for a person staying alone in the room. Bed and mattress were really comfortable - which is the main thing in my book! We had rooms at the back which... more

A group of 10 of us have just returned from a long weekend in Birmingham staying at the Thistle. The room was clean and nicely decorated, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is superb! The hotel is also situated in an excellent location, definately recommended! more

I stayed one night on my own for business and I would have to say a big 'could do better' on this one. I chose it due to proximity to a meeting venue and I guess the central location explains their prices. The room (4th floor) was very small and smelled of smoke. It also had a charming view of... more

Went for a shopping weekend with a friend. Two nights with breakfast and dinner on first night - got a great deal. Location is quite dismal - on the ring road, with only St Chad's standing out in the concrete jungle. Surprisingly, traffic noise was not a problem. Only 10 minute stroll into town. All of the staff were pleasant... more

I booked this hotel on Hotwire and was pleased I did. For the price (about 45 pounds) it was very good value. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast (extra charge - but discount coupon available during weekdays) was very good. Choice of continental or cooked - or both. Room was a single, so small, but bed was... more

Stayed here for 2 nights @£50/night including full breakfast. It's a 10 to 15 minute walk from New Street Station virtually opposite St Chads Cathedral. Room was very clean although shower a bit tricky to operate and not piping hot. Breakfast very good cooked to order and brought to your table, other items available buffet style. Dining room staff much... more

Having stayed at the thistle for one night on oct 4th 08 I am surprised at the previous bad reviews.Especially the one for oct 5th the night after we stayed.Our room was great for the money (£55 through laterooms) no breakfast included.That was £12.95 which I thought better of.However, when we arrived I enquired about it and was offered a... more

One of the staff at reception was quite rude, unhelpful and arrogant. He gave us a room where the heating was not working, knowing that it was faulty in the first place. When we complained, he gave us a portable heater. We again complained because it was not getting any warmer. My husband insisted that we were tranferred to a... more
