Birmingham Hotels

Clean,friendly staff, very good location, free wifi, 5 minute walk from city center

Room is very small,Not much room for luggage

Although the room was on the small side it was very comfortable and the room was very clean and just right for an overnight stay.

The TV in the room was a bit to big and made your eyes go funny after a while!!

Intercom was not working. U have to go down anytime you need water

Great location, staff were great,

Noisy neighbours

I was passed out drunk in my room after a somewhat heated exchange wit my partner. She for reasons only known to whatever deity you pretend to pray to elected to come over. This was an excellent choice assisted by the staff of the Radisson blu hotel.

I have to use a key card to access my floor, its a layer of security that is utterly redundant.

Location was great. Staff in general were well mannered. Up to 18 floors. Has a gym, but didn't get to see it. Well sized rooms also. Shoe machines on the floors along with ice.

I have to say I love the Raddison blu brand but this will now be the 1st of two lower than average reviews I'll be writing. First of all I felt lucky and a little excited to get a good deal of £88 per night (with breakfast) as apposed to the £150-£170 most sites were advertising (including Raddison blu on their club Carlson membership site). It started with the arrival with my colleague, a small lobby for the size of the hotel. No one there at first but they came out seconds later so it wasn't too much of a problem. We explained to the front desk that I had booked the rooms for two of us, but rather than looking it was assumed it would be under separate names. Could have been my fault so I'll let that go. We then both checked in, only to find that both rooms were under my name. This was done quite fast, which was good and we were sent on our way with a brief explanation about the breakfast in the morning. Missed the offers that were on hand and not valid at check-in so no upsell. Had they asked we would have taken one of the offers. I did show my club Carlson card and asked if there was anyway of upgrading as to which she said "I'm afraid not as the hotel is fully booked". Which was understandable (remember this part!). I was getting myself together at the reception desk, at which she thanked me. She then thanked me again and gave me a look to say do that somewhere else! I looked around and saw a queue behind me, which I was surprised as there was no one there when we arrived. I apologised when I left the desk but left with a slightly sour taste in my mouth. I then went to my room which smelt of cigarettes. I wasn't sure whether someone was taking a chance on smoking in their room or it was a stench in the actual room. The carpet had stains that seemed well embedded (my colleagues room looked as though blood had been engraved into the carpet with stains too!), the tv had very poor reception (so that was the Brits out of the window). Bathroom was a good size and clean, so was the room in general. But lacked any homely or business feel.

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and attentive to needs. The bath although small was a nice suprise. Plenty of hot water. Close to the city

facilities and location gave good value

Evening meals could be a lot better. No proper lounge area

Oriental brasserie was unusual & food was excellent

It was a little hard to find

How accessible the station, NIA etc were to us

Taxi company used by hotel (Falcon)

Wonderful Room Wonderful View Wonderful Spa!

Luxury and modern styling, lovely lobby, restaurant and classy bar, clean and felt quality, professional and smart staff

The drunk young italian thug at the bar....... The lack of free satellite tv channels...... Plus the parking that had to be in the NCP around the corner was closed at 11pm when I got back to the hotel!

The location was perfect

Was saturday night and till 1am there was a music from a local disco club that you can hear till inside in your room. A bad noise.

The booking hadn't been confirmed so luckily another room was available.

location very good and very cheap and the staff are very helpful. The breakfast is very good.

outdated furniture's and the room we stayed not was facing closed wall and very dark

Quite noisy location

The staff were friendly and informative, great location for shopping and restaurants. Room was clean and comfortable.

Requested some hot water for a cup of tea at breakfast and had to ask again as it was forgotten.

Traditional comfort with up to date facilities, warm welcoming staff and very good food.

The full breakfast buffet was plentiful and ready on time.

The bed was too hard.

Passable for the discounted £38 I paid so near to Christmas, but in no way worth the indicated price of £80.00

Room was tatty & outdated. Toilet cistern was hanging off the wall so whole thing rocked when you flushed, toilet seat was broken. Bathroom sink had a plug with a hole in it so impossible to fill the sink to wash. Hole in the bathroom ceiling had been patched up with a piece of wood that had been pained over to try & get it to match rest of ceiling. Strip light had been replaced with round halogen light leaving a strip of very old wallpaper where the original light had been. Would only recommend if you need somewhere last minute & you can get room discounted. Would NOT stay again.

Overall great value for money, great size room, very spacious, extremely comfortable bed, good facilities in the rooms and a fantastic breakfast. We considered our room was very quiet for a very busy city centre location (right in the hub of the night life) and we found the staff very polite & friendly. For our annual Christmas stop-over in Birmingham this could possibly be our new favourite!

The only minor improvement in the room would be to have the toilet incorporated into the bathroom instead of being in a separate smaller room.

The size of the room and comfortable bed.

We only stayed one night!

I'm not sure. Between the excellent English Breakfast, the clean and cozy room, or the very friendly staff.

The hotel's description could include a hint that there is a bus station (120) right outside, and also the name of the station

The rooms was of good size, newly decorated to average standard.

The hotel was quite noisy, the walls are paper thin with no sound proofing. I think I heard someone roll over and pass wind! We stopped on a Fri night so did expect some noise given its proximity to Broad Street but the cleaner began hoovering the communal reception room at 7AM - not impressed!!

The hotel had a pretty good location, fairly central to the city and shops. I was literally a few minutes from where I needed to be.

The room was very cold in the morning however it did snow over night and the beds were not partically spacious

For the price, I would have expected more. It was clean and basic.

All staff were very friendly and helpful.

None

Lovely big bed. Choice of pillows. Bath + shower.spacious room. Great lighting. Big T.V. clean room. 12 o'clock checkout. Lovely meal in restaurant.

Room service was excellent!

All staff I came into contact with, the checking- in staff and particularly the concierge staff were excellent, pleasant and extremely helpful.

Obviously, as it is near the NEC it was quite crowded and noisy in parts/

The hotel was lovely and relaxed. The swimming pool and gym were an added bonus. It was only a ten minute walk to some lovely restaurants and sights. The location was ideal as it was far enough away from the noise of night clubs and bars yet near enough to walk to.

staff very efficient , able to check into room early, late check out (1pm) accomodated

n/a

Large comfortable rooms, well heated and great bed

Great, location, good food, and comfortable quiet room!

the welcome was very friendly,use of pool very good,nice and warm in cold weather.

Really cheap rooms. A nice place to stay. I would return.

Only downside was that were not given an option of a smoking/non smoking room and although I usually don't mind being around smoke the smoking room we were given was very stale. After returning to the room it always took ten minutes to get used to the smell of smoke. I know that cant really be helped too much but a simple air freshener in the room would do the job. Rooms could do with a lick of paint.

Friendly staff, adequate room size and appropriate facilities. Value for money.

Carpets, floors and shower looking a little tired and in need of sprucing up. Lighting level and distribution in the room not entirely helpful for working at the desk.

Clean and pleasant hotel. Good value for money

Cheap per night, but then the state of accommodation was cheap. Radiator in room could be controlled

radiator in bathroom could not be controlled so far too hot. Ground floor so could not open window safely. \\tv very old and not many channels.

The room was great, combinded with the design of the complex it felt like I was in my own flat not just a room.

A couple of ceiling tiles needed replacing due to water marks. And the room cleaner knocked even though I had put out the "do not disturb" sign. She said "sorry, I thought you were out", odd??

Cheap

Bed bugs everywhere

The bathroom had mold over the ceiling. The walls were dirty. The furniture was battered and scuffed. If you only want a bed its ok and cheap.

Comfortable room and friendly staff

11am check out time. Difference of opinion between day and night staff on check out times

Excellent value for money with free parking. Very clean rooms and friendly staff. Excellent location in middle of Birmingham.

Rooms a little bit on the small side. The double bed was also a little bit on the small side for 2 people. We have become accustomed to a king size.

Excellent value for money. Nice well designed room, if a bit small. A nice pub there and a great night's sleep.

Spacious room for organizing repacking to travel. Sufficient places to sit at dinner for a single person. Excellent personnel response in replacing burnt out light bulb. Location wrt airport and railroad. Value based on my particular reservation was good. I was paying out of personal pocket. But I would return for the same price. No bright LEDs to disturb my sleep Nice breakfast.

Nothing bad No sign if water in fridge is free (many hotels charge for this) I would like decaf earl grey for room to help sleep Burger at dinner. Glad that this was well-done. But the bun was very dry. Needed a nice sauce to make it all more moist and flavorful. Restaurant did not seem to know if a British beer: ale was available. Yes I liked the ale provided but the server did not know about it. It would be good if there are real British ales on tap instead of the usual corporate beers. Is it possible to get United miles for staying at Novotel? This Would influence my decisions. John Taylot

staff was very helpful and friendly

The cleanliness and modern design

Liked all of it

A traditional style Hotel not too noisy and within easy reach of Birmingham City Centre.Ideal for a weekend shopping stay,Theatre or Concert Visit.

The staff are great. Really look after you

The hotel owners now need to catch up with the staff and update the bathrooms and generally just give the place some TLC.

massage chairs in the spa were a big plus

The comfort of the rooms and big bathrooms along with the atmosphere in the bar/restaurant area. gorgeous breakfasts with very good attention to detail with what was on offer.

The shower was a bit low in both pressure and height and the room a bit cool.

Absolutely not as quality as advertised.

Good breakfast.

Single room very small. No picture on itv channels.

The room

We could not get the room early but when we came back at 14:00 there was no one there at the desk have to wait 15 minutes

Restauarant was excellent with very attentive staff who were very professional

There are certain areas which could be improved upon. The TV sets in the bedrooms could be upgraded and a little attention to detail in the bedrooms would lift the general standard of the hotel tremendously.
