Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while clean and sizeable, suffered from noise due to their proximity to the main entrance. The old-fashioned decor added charm, but some may find it outdated. The view of the main entrance was impressive, offering a 'wow' factor upon arrival.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, though there were some issues with the shower temperature being too hot. The inexperienced staff struggled during breakfast service, causing long waits. Despite these challenges, the hotel's location was beautiful and well-maintained, offering easy access to the city center.
The hotel is set in wonderful garden surroundings, offering a great location for my visit to Birmingham. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with food quality needing improvement and limited options. The service was a mix of pleasant interactions and disappointing moments, urging for more consistency. Despite some shortcomings, the overall value for money was reasonable.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms needed a bit of attention, lacking even basic amenities like a fan, and the furnishings were worn out. It felt like the room was in need of some refurbishment; definitely not up to a 4-star standard, more like 2 stars. However, I appreciated the convenient location of the hotel for accessing nearby attractions.
The hotel was beautifully kept and very pleasing, with excellent access to the attractions we wanted to visit. The rooms were fantastic, very clean and comfortable, but could use some attention to repair shabby furnishings. The service was extremely helpful and polite, despite a minor hiccup with room setup. The location had a nice terrace to sit in with a drink, although it could be a bit more inviting. The dining was good value, although some dishes were overcooked. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
