Nice hotel in a good location.

This trip was booked for an exhibition with 2 colleagues. Because I made the booking I was upgraded to a suite which was lovely and spacious with a balcony overlooking the canal and the city. This was a lovely room. The only downside was even as residents we were not allowed a drink after 10pm except on the Thursday night when we were served because there was a private party. We mentioned this to the bar manager who stated they were being served because they had booked the room until 11pm. I pointed out to him that between myself and my 2 colleagues we had booked rooms for 12 nights at a cost of £2,000

Functional business hotel with no frills. Large rooms but slippery bathroom floors and the AC conked out. Views of Birmingham (not particularly exciting!) from floors 23 to 25 - which are also the only floors with hotel rooms/restaurants (rest are offices i believe).

Englebert Humperdinck

The staff were very attentive and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and we had a very relaxing couple of nights. We wanted to stay near Gas Street as I came here many times to see my Dad's family as a youngster. We were in Brum to see Englebert Humperdinck at the Symphony Hall. Unfortunately, the concert was cancelled a few hours before the start. Despite this, we had a most relaxing and comfortable stay.

It was hotter than the sun in the rooms. No windows to open, 3 fans in the room But only 1 worked, bathroom smelt like mouldy water and sewage, bed was like wriggling around on a water bed so sleep was very difficult as kept almost rolling out of the bed. Would not stay here again which is a shame as location and food etc was fabulous. Breakfast was great. Things to do in the area great but would not stay here again unfortunately

The receptionist was very nice with checking me in and checking me out the breakfast was absolutely delicious I don't know the name of the woman that served us breakfast but she was a very lovely lady the only thing I disliked was I had asked the woman who is a receptionist in the morning around 10.30 am if I can have room service as I am going out she said she will sort it out I thanked her I come back to the hotel around 2.30 I expected my room to be clean it wasn't the room service lady came at 2.30 but she was so lovely and polite and said she doesn't mind if we stay in the room while she does the cleaning the view was lovely and all the other amenities too the room has a window but you can't open the window the AC was not working and the fan in our room was not giving cold air

Little did we know that the function room was above our room. The noise from above started from about 4PM to 2AM i the morning. The music and stamping was unbearable load which meant the room was unusable for relaxation or sleep. Ruined what could have been a nice weekend break.

The bed was so comfortable. More spacious in the room. Breakfast was ok. Although there was a lot of stains on the carpet . Also during breakfast the option i chose i was told there was no vegetarian sausages as they didnt get their order and prior to coming for breakfast a lady asked if we paying or if its already paid as its expensive to eat at Marco Pierre found it rude. Then the fire alarm rang was escorted towards the stairs to find they was locked. The lift were still working then a member of staff came and said it was a false alarm.

Best of a bad bunch. Worth reading below

I like this hotel because of it's location. However it's getting dated. Clean but chipped furniture etc. The hallways and rooms tend to be very hot and the AC isn't good. Which is why I now book a room with a balcony so I can get fresh air. Other rooms don't have opening windows. They do provide fans. My last stay had 3 fans in the room so that's rather telling. The MPW restaurant on the top floor is good, although the last time they overcooked my steak. Didn't send back as don't like food waste but they did add a discount when I told them. It's fine. But I think the mal Maison next door is stiff competition

Good location lots of restaurants and bars. Also Everyman cinema. The room was modern but had no air conditioning and was very hot all night even with 2 fans. Additional charge for breakfast which was ok for what we received. Overall felt overpriced with having to pay for breakfast and parking. Would have liked a discount for no air conditioning.

A great city centre anniversary break

We stayed one night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Check in went very smoothly and when we mentioned it was our anniversary we each received vouchers for a complementary drink which was a very nice touch. The room and bed were very comfortable with a view of the city and a large shower cubicle in the bathroom. The only minor minus was the absence of any complementary biscuits. The hotel is in the city centre and so we were able to walk around the centre in the early evening taking in the atmosphere. Both the set evening meal and breakfast were very good sitting at tables with city views and excellent service. We did have to pay £5 more each for the evening window table but as it was our anniversary it was well worth it.

There is no air conditioning in the rooms – they are ridiculously hot…!! The hotel is designed with no opening windows and the room cooling is essentially disabled. This has obviously been an issue for some time as all the rooms have desk fans, but are unbearable to sleep in. No exaggeration 40 degrees. Read the room description carefully and avoid. Not the fault of the staff on the desk, but they are fobbing people off with a story about resetting the system. Breakfast in Marco Pierre White restaurant was superb.

I’m not happy at all when we get to reception the fist thing she ask is when I’m due which I’m not pregnant, Then to be told there’s not spa which dose say on the website it dose. The room was stained on the floor the towels and hair all ova the bathroom tiles. We got woken up to the fire alarm going off to rush out to find it was a files alarm so we ask a member off staff he just laughed in our face I would never stay hear again
