I booked the Grand as I have memories of the building when I lived in Birmingham. The building continues to amaze me. Beautiful in design and furnishings. Check in was ok I had to ask several times what time breakfast was , booking restaurant, menus etc . It wasn’t until the following day we found all the information was accessible via the TV in our room. Not once was this mentioned by the staff. Breakfast was served in the restaurant staff had no idea what they were doing, no guidance from senior colleagues or zoning as most restaurants, this showed itself with the waiters running around not knowing who had ordered what we had to ask for coffe 3 times before a

I admit to booking and pre-paying for The Grand Hotel - Birmingham for an incorrect date but when I arrived at the hotel and explained the mistake, the concierge/front desk staff simply said "sorry you booked the wrong date there's nothing we can do, if we had a room available we would be able to do something to help you, but we dont" I immediately sat down in the front reception frantically looking for an alternative hotel as it was nearly midnight and found I could actually book my exact room in The Grand (on the exact same night I arrived) if I paid an excess of £250 per night (of which I required 2 nights stay) Atleast if they had said "we just dont want to help you" I wouldve left upset but with the truth. They let me down, as the room was pre-paid for so the cost obviously wasnt the issue, they just wanted me to feel humiliated infront of other guests, but also lied about it which made me feel even worse than just tired & frustrated after travelling from London for work and reading how great they treat their guests. First and last time I'd consider staying in The Grand Hotel - Birmingham as I still have to pick up the bill for the 2 nights I didnt stay in the hotel, they didnt even offer to re-emburse or cancel the room stay Very disappointed and unhappy Raphael Barnett

Great location for an overnight with a lovely bar

Lovely rooms, great mini bar with cute little mugs. Comfortable beds but pillows need a refresh. Breakfast was good- beautiful setting, but timings and temperatures need addressing. Bar was outstanding. Service overall was very good.

Lovely stay

Lovely one night stay with breakfast. Coming back from Cheltenham races we checked in late but Mo on reception was very helpful and put us in a lovely room. Breakfast was great. Am back in a couple of weeks for a conference. Looking forward to it already.
