Great location for Birmingham City centre (two minute walk to local tram stop) with out the expense of the large chain hotel groups, easy parking at an affordable rate, pleasant and efficient staff , well appointed room with good amenities. Choice of a well stocked bar serving drinks and food or hotel restaurant serving evening food and breakfast, whilst some parts are a little dated or tired the hotel is very comfortable and welcoming for a couple of nights stay.

Hotel has a very spacious car park and close to the city centre. Inside it was very grand with beautiful furnishings. The reception and check-in were extremely friendly and helpful….thank you Carly. Some of the bedrooms have had a major make over and we had one of these. Ginormous comfy bed and lovely modern bathroom. We also had an accessible room at the back of the hotel that meant no steps for my mother, which was a real bonus. The bar was wonderful and luxurious. Breakfast had a huge range from croissants, toast, yoghurts, fruit, cereal and of course an excellent hot breakfast. If you are visiting Birmingham centre you couldn’t ask for a better hotel.

The Edgbaston Village tram station was super close by, which was handy for getting in and out of the city. The hotel felt safe, quiet, and clean. The staff were warm and friendly. My bed was very comfy, water in the shower was hot (not great pressure though). I had a lovely view out of my large window, and was fortunate to have three sunny days.
