Myself and two colleagues had the misfortune of staying here on Monday 30th April for one night. The hotel exterior is deceiving as it looks quite nice considering the run down area it is situated in. The interior paints a very diferent story as it would appear that no money has been spent on decoration, upkeep or modernisation. The room... More

The room was basic and had a television but it did not work as it was not a digital one, waste of time having it in the... More

I stayed here with my partner for one night. It was laughably bad. The look of the hotel from the outside is fine, and the receptionist was friendly. However... 1. The door to the room was pretty much falling off, if you were to lean on it, the lock would have broken off. 2. The bathroom was extremely dirty, we... More

Stayed in this hotel for one night only while in Brimingham on business, the first impression when arriving on the car park seem to be ok...until you go through the front door. The reception area is very basic and dismal, payment for the room is required up front and breakfast which is stated on the web site as full english... More

I stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks in the last few weeks before finishing the thesis. Honestly I wanted to stay in the student's accommodation by the end of stay in England, but they said students must vacate by the decided date for any reason. I found a few negative reviews on this hotel, but considering the price, the... More

Very expensive for basic room and meagre breakfast. Smallest TV I've seen in years. Room smelt like an ashtray which pervaded all our clothes. Saving grace was comfy bed. More

My partner and myself had to visit a patient in Queen Elizabeth hospital at very short notice. We were at the hospital for a couple of days before being told that we needed to find overnight accommodation. We were only informed of this at around 11pm. We were given a list of B & B's, recommended by the hospital and... More
