My stay at this hotel in Birmingham was truly exceptional — without exaggeration, one of the best experiences I’ve had in all my years of traveling. From the very first moment, the warmth and professionalism of the manager Mr, Edu set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Every single member of staff went above and beyond, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. The team in the restaurant deserves special praise — Punam,Sharshe,Paru,Saru and Kamala attentive, kind, and always smiling. Their service made every breakfast a pleasure. What stood out the most was the human touch. It wasn’t just good service; it was sincere hospitality. You can feel that the staff truly take pride in what they do, and that makes all the difference. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a wonderful experience for us as a newly married couple. We will always remember our stay here fondly, and I would recommend this hotel wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Birmingham. I can’t wait to return.❤

Nice modern hotel. Shame about the lifts. It didn't appear that busy but the three lifts they property has cannot cope with moving people around. Shame as you could see people getting frustrated.

First room offered 912 was very noisy. We asked for another room. The staff was excellent and offered us another room on floor 10. It was difficult to operate the air conditioning. we couldn’t get the air conditioning to heat up. We only stayed one day. If it was for a week stay we definitely would have asked for assistance. We asked for an extra blanket as we arrived and the receptionist were very helpful good. Breakfast no hot porridge, no veggie sausages, 7 out of 10 for breakfast. But we still had a good time and would definitely book again.
