My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was clean and modern, although there was some corroded disabled equipment present. I was given a room on the 13th floor, which unfortunately stank of cigarette smoke. However, the room was as advertised and satisfactory.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a good size with excellent views but unfortunately, mine smelled of wet dog and was noisy next to the lift shaft. The service was a bit hit or miss - some staff were polite and helpful, while others seemed like they didn't want to be there. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the Bullring and Birmingham New Street station. However, I had to pay a deposit for the room. The dining experience was a mix of excellent Indian dishes and some disappointing aspects. Overall, the facilities were decent.

Parking was convenient, offering easy access to the city center and the shopping district. The dining experience was a mix of outstanding service and disappointing food quality. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money with its excellent location and top-notch service.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though suffering from traffic noise, were spacious and of a high standard, especially those on the top floor with exceptional views. It's worth it if you can secure a budget deal. The service was friendly and helpful, with staff willing to fix any mistakes without any hint of condescension. The location was good, just a few meters from the rail station and Victoria Square, but noise from the busy road outside was noticeable. The dining experience was a bit disappointing in terms of value for money, with high prices and some dry options. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.

The hotel is located perfectly for a city break, right by the Hippodrome Theatre and ideal for shopping at Bullring. The rooms, though a bit dated and near a generator, were surprisingly clean and very comfortable. The service, while attentive for special occasions, lacked consistency in everyday requests like breakfast orders. Dining was satisfactory overall, with a few hiccups for specific dietary needs. The Collage restaurant provided a good experience overall. The location offers convenience but can feel a bit intimidating at night on the busy roundabout. The price seemed fair for what was provided.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the one hand, I was promised a free upgrade to a suite for a future booking due to a trainee mistake, but the confirmation never came. Unfortunately, my room had a dismal view of a brick wall and a strong cannabis smell. The duvet was also too small for the bed. However, the large comfy beds were a nice touch.

The hotel offers spacious and very clean rooms, but there were some issues with dampness and an overpowering smell.

The hotel location was superb, and it was a massive factor in why I booked here. The room was very spacious and clean with great facilities, but it had 2 ugly concrete pillars that were a bit of an eyesore. The service was a bit of a mixed bag - initial rudeness was quickly rectified by the efficient manager and exceptional housekeeping maids, though overall, the hotel could improve on staff customer service. The location was excellent, very convenient for New Street train station and the shopping center, as well as handy for The Bull Ring and ICC. The dining was the highlight of the stay with some issues in quality but overall satisfactory. Facilities were well-maintained.
