The service charge left a bad taste. We had been given a thoughtful gift of afternoon tea. When we came to leave we were asked to pay an enforced £6.50 service charge. As this was a gift I wasn’t expecting to have to pay for some of it myself. If they are so desperate for the extra money just add it into the cost of the afternoon tea.

I held my baby shower here last weekend, from start to finish Debbie, the sales & events planner was incredible! Not only did she show great communication (responding promptly to my constant perfectionist emails) she also made sure that everything ran smoothly on the day. The staff on the day were also brilliant, especially Dan who oversaw the whole day. I had booked music room 1 which accommodates my 24 adults and 5 child guests perfectly. Happy customer & will be booking my wedding here! Ps the kids loved their candy floss deserts!

We'd booked Hogarths for my Birthday meal, hoping for something a bit special. We were not disappointed, the service form start to finish was exceptional, the front of house staff were faultless, our glasses were never empty and our table was never cluttered. The food was excellent, portion sizes were good and the taste was superb. I look forward to returning again soon.

We used to go for Sunday lunch quite regularly at Hogarths, but after having some mediocre food, we stopped going. As we hadn’t been for quite a while, we decided to go back and see if things had improved. Unfortunately, I was disappointed but my husband enjoyed his fish lunch. I had the beef set lunch and found the beef on the tough side and, with the exception of the very good roast potatoes, the vegetables looked as if they had been waiting around for some time. The cauliflower cheese had a hard skin on it ! I had cheese for my last course and it obviously had just been taken out of the fridge. It was cold and rock hard. I did mention to a male waiter my disappointment in my lunch and was basically ignored. There was a female member of staff, Debbie?, who was delightful,knowledgeable and couldn’t have been more helpful. Won’t be returning.…

Dear Jane Many thanks for taking the time to review the hotel following your visit for lunch. I was delighted to read that your husband enjoyed his Fish main course and that you found Debbie to be "delightful & couldn’t have been more helpful" However it appears you didn’t enjoy the beef as much. If you would like to contact me directly to provide further feedback I would very much appreciate the opportunity to restore your faith in Hogarths Solihull, as you will be aware, this is not our usual standard. Many thanks again and we very much look forward to hopefully being given the opportunity to welcome you back to Hogarths Solihull in the near future.

I attended a training course here last week and it was the nicest place I’ve ever been for a work event! The room we were in was so homely it was like sitting in someone’s very lush lounge, I loved all the added decor like cushions on the chairs (we were in the room with the big wooden unit with the tea jars in) and it was comfy and inviting unlike so many boring conference rooms! The receptionist was lovely on arrival and departing and lunch was nice as well as the staff looking after us being attentive too. I must give a special mention to the young lad who looked after us for the day…Harry. What a legend! He was in and out of our room making sure the drinks were topped up, popping his head in just to see if we needed anything and when we asked for something, nothing was too much trouble. A lovely young man and an asset to your team! Hoping my company book future events there as it was just so lovely! Thank you to all! :)…

We only had lunch here so can't comment on the actual hotel. We sat outside in the beautiful garden - looks like a prefect setting for a wedding. It was fairly quiet when we went & no atmosphere at all. We only had soup, which was fine & the accompanying bread was lovely & crusty. The staff were attentive & pleasant. It was ok, but won't be rushing back for lunch - may be a lovely hotel to stay in though, I don't know.

Excellent hotel in a perfect location. Room excellent. But! Service dreadful. I checked in and had to pay for my room in advance - interesting but not a problem. Left my credit card details for what I believed were charges to my room. We had dinner at the hotel (very good food) but was told I could not charge to my room. (even though the bill had the facility to provide room details). When I asked for what purpose they had my credit card details - their response was "to cover any damage to your room" What sort of quests do they have who trash the rooms I wonder? I have stayed in hotels world-wide and never encountered this rather strange policy. Sarah, who was on reception, could not explain the policy which had recently been introduced and she certainly does need a refresher course in customer relationship management.…

Dear Fred Many thanks for taking the time to review the hotel following your visit & overnight stay. I was delighted to read that your found the hotel to be excellent in a perfect location & the room to also be excellent, also that your dining experience was "very god" I am sorry that the recent changes to the hotel policy were not communicated as effectively as they could or indeed should have been. If I could just explain for clarification. As is standard in almost every hotel in the world, pre-payment & credit card details are taken when the booking is created or at the point of check in. This is an industry standard, most people pre-pay online or via Online Travel Agents such as Booking,com etc. When a guest hasn't pre-paid online we take full payment & credit card details upon check in. This is due to the previous policy, which was to take a pre-authorisation for any extras charges to room bills, however feedback from numerous guests was that the pre-authorisation would be held as a pending transaction against their bank accounts, sometime for many weeks. Despite our best efforts working with multiple banking organisations to resolve the issue, this could not be resolved therefore as a result of feedback we listened & changed our policy. We no longer take a pre-authorisation and now just take credit card details. We no longer allow room transfers and the majority of our guests are much more satisfied with the new policy and are happy to pay for anything consumed or purchased at the point of sale, be it at the bar or in the restaurant. I hope this clarifies the situation and I am sorry that it was not explained properly at the time. Many thanks again and we very much look forward to welcoming you back to Hogarths Solihull in the near future. Kind Regards Adam Bessant
