Staying at the Astoria Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Birmingham. From the moment I walked in, the Art Deco design stood out—elegant, timeless, and beautifully executed.

We came to Birmingham for a concert and stayed at this hotel with two friends for just one night—what an amazing find! The location is perfect: right across from a Tesco Metro, and it’s only about £8 in an Uber to Broad Street. We booked a triple en-suite room facing the front—spacious, clean, and recently renovated with modern touches, especially in the bathroom. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night after a long day. There’s great parking at the back, which was super convenient. The host gave us a warm welcome and clear instructions on how to access the building outside regular hours—very thoughtful. We didn’t have breakfast here, so I can’t speak to that, but I did peek into the dining area, and it was spotless, well-maintained, and had a nice, welcoming vibe. Overall, the value for money is outstanding. If we’re ever back in Birmingham, this will be our top pick.
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.
This hidden gem truly exceeded my expectations. The Vitality Hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Birmingham, just steps away from shops, restaurants, and public transit—trams, buses, and the Central Station are all within easy reach. My room was immaculately clean, cozy, and warmly decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home. Plenty of power outlets made charging devices and working on my laptop effortless. The TV was great, but the standout feature was the powerful, consistent hot shower—perfect after a long day exploring the city. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with any request, no matter how small. From check-in to check-out, the entire experience was seamless and welcoming. I’ll definitely be returning—the location, comfort, and service make this hotel a top choice for any traveler.
