I really enjoyed my stay at the Birmingham Strathallan Hotel.

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of Birmingham with easy access to public transit and local attractions. For the price point, this is a solid choice with great value. I’d definitely recommend it for both business and leisure travelers looking for a comfortable, convenient base in the city.

Staying here was a great experience overall. The location is super convenient—just a short walk to QE and UOB, making it easy to get around the city. The room itself is compact but well-designed, with a fridge for storing drinks and snacks, which was a nice touch. Having a private bathroom was a big plus—it felt clean, private, and very functional. The bed was comfortable, and I slept really well, waking up feeling refreshed. The place is spotless, and the staff were friendly and helpful whenever I needed something. It’s a solid choice for travelers looking for comfort, cleanliness, and value in Birmingham. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, making check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free. Overall, it was a perfect experience from start to finish.

Premier Inn Birmingham Central Hagley Road

Staying at Premier Inn Birmingham Central Hagley Road was a great experience overall. The hotel offers the usual high standard you’d expect from the brand—clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. I especially appreciated the attached Beefeater restaurant; it’s a nice spot for a relaxed meal with good food and friendly service. Free parking is a definite plus, especially if you're driving. Getting into town is super easy—just a 10 to 15-minute bus ride from the stop right on Hagley Road. The staff were helpful and welcoming throughout my stay. My room was spacious, the shower pressure was excellent, and having a proper bath was such a welcome treat after a long day. It’s rare to find a hotel that nails both comfort and convenience, but this one does. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a reliable, no-fuss stay in Birmingham.

The Avenue Club and Lodge

I stayed at The Avenue Club and Lodge in Birmingham and found it to be a budget-friendly option with decent value for money. The room was clean and smelled fresh, which was a plus. However, I did notice some dampness, especially in the corners—probably due to poor ventilation. The area is quite noisy, with motorbikes passing by late into the night, often until around 2 a.m. I also experienced noise from neighboring rooms—guests were loud on both sides, staying up until around 3 a.m., which definitely affected my sleep quality. While this isn’t the hotel’s fault, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to noise or prefer a quiet stay. Overall, it’s a solid choice for travelers prioritizing affordability and location, but not ideal if peace and quiet are top priorities.

The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit, making it easy to explore Birmingham without hassle. The studio was clean, well-designed, and surprisingly spacious for the price. The bed was comfortable, and the quiet atmosphere made for a restful night's sleep. What really stood out was the warm hospitality—the staff were friendly, helpful, and offered great local tips that enhanced our experience. It felt more like staying with friends than a typical hotel. For anyone looking for a cozy, convenient, and affordable base in Birmingham, this place is a must-try.

I absolutely loved my stay at Norfolk Hotel in Birmingham! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Their kindness and attentiveness truly made the experience special. The hotel is perfectly located—just a short walk from the city center and close to major transport links. My room was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped with modern amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and offered a great variety of options. I’ve stayed here twice now, and each time has been unforgettable. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming place to stay in Birmingham, this is it. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone.

Prince Hotel

Staying at Prince Hotel felt more like being in a temporary housing unit than a real hotel. The location is convenient—close to the subway—but everything else falls apart quickly. Wi-Fi is practically unusable, and phone signal is so weak you can’t even make calls. The worst part? Neighbors constantly hang out outside their doors, laughing and chatting loudly until 3 a.m., making it impossible to sleep. The kitchen closes at 10 p.m. every night, which means if you’re up late or need to grab food before work, you’re out of luck. It doesn’t open until 7 a.m., so breakfast is nearly impossible for early risers. Even the so-called 'free breakfast' is only available on a first-come, first-served basis—by the time you get there, it’s gone. The management is extremely problematic. Sara, the manager, is rude, dismissive, and refuses to listen. She interrupts constantly and acts like she’s always right—her behavior made me question her judgment. There are cameras everywhere, even outside the building and down the street. It felt like I was under constant surveillance, as if I were starring in some reality show. The bathroom has visible mold, and the smell in some rooms resembles urine. The water is harsh on skin—especially sensitive or acne-prone skin—it dries out hands and body. The fridge is overcrowded, with no room for your own food, and the stench is overwhelming. Items left unattended in your room are taken by cleaning staff without warning—this feels like theft. You’re forced to eat in the tiny outdoor dining area, even in freezing weather, and eating in your room results in Sara showing up early in the morning, banging on your door. If you don’t answer, she uses a spare key to enter, shouting at you while you’re still asleep. No privacy at all. Overall, this place isn’t a hotel—it’s a transitional housing facility for people waiting for council housing. The duvet cover is too small, and the bedding is clearly not meant for comfort. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Avoid it at all costs.

Spacious 1-bed Studio in Birmingham

The location is definitely convenient—just a short walk to the city center and well-connected by public transit—but overall, this studio apartment doesn’t offer good value for money. The unit is on the ground floor, but accessing it involves navigating a very narrow staircase with low ceiling space, making moving luggage awkward and uncomfortable. The biggest issue? Noise from the upper-floor guests. I was woken up multiple times by footsteps starting as early as 7 a.m., lasting over an hour before they even left the flat. At night, the same disturbance continued, making it impossible to fall back asleep. It’s incredibly disruptive. Inside, cleanliness is a major concern—dead flies were visible near the bed, spiders were scurrying around the kitchen area, and the dishes, cookware, and cabinets were visibly dirty, with greasy residue on surfaces. The carpet had a musty smell, likely due to poor ventilation. I’m not sure if it was bed bugs or dust mites, but I did notice several bites on my legs. The bathroom and shower area are extremely cramped—once inside, there’s barely enough room to move. Thankfully, the hot water worked well. I ended up using disinfectant (like Dettol) to spray down the bathroom and shower before use, and I strongly recommend bringing your own towel. While the location is a plus, the noise, hygiene issues, and lack of comfort make this far from ideal. Not recommended if you’re looking for peace, quiet, or clean accommodations.

Apollo Hotel

The Apollo Hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The staff went above and beyond with their attention to detail—every team member was friendly, professional, and always ready to help. From check-in to checkout, I felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. Their warm smiles and proactive service made the entire stay incredibly comfortable and stress-free. It’s clear they prioritize guest satisfaction, and it shows in every little thing. This is more than just a place to sleep—it’s a memorable experience. I’ll definitely be back.

Cobden Hotel Birmingham

I really wish I hadn’t bothered. I called this hotel because it was the closest option to my brother’s place, and I was hoping for a quick stay. When I spoke to the front desk, I was told they’re no longer taking guests—instead, the rooms are being used to house refugees under a local council program. I was genuinely shocked, especially since I’ve stayed here before and had a decent experience. Now, knowing how the space is being used, I can’t even consider booking again. It’s disappointing and makes me question the hotel’s integrity and focus on guest service.

Ibis Styles Birmingham Hagley Road

This was a business trip, and the stay was very comfortable overall. The location is convenient—just a short walk from the subway station and close to downtown Birmingham. I appreciated the variety at breakfast: fresh pastries, hot dishes, and a good selection of international options. The staff were friendly and attentive, always checking if we needed anything. The only small improvement would be having an extra pillow available, but that’s a minor detail. Everything else was excellent—the room was clean, quiet, and well-maintained. I’d definitely recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers. A great value with a welcoming atmosphere.
