What an amazing hotel, for a superb price! From check-in, the staff were fantastic, going out of their way to help you settle in. For the price (£40 for a sat night) i wasnt expecting much of a room. HOW WRONG WAS I. Our party of 3 could easily fit into the urban chic, minimalistically styled room. A double bed... more

First impression was the front of hotel staff who were really friendly and welcoming and were very helpful with directions etc. I knew the room was going to be basic, you get what you pay for.

Looking back at the reviews now, I am chagrined that I didn't pay more attention to them instead of being enticed by Etap's price and the fact that the Birmingham Convention Bureau recommended it. It wasn't the worst place I've ever stayed and we actually felt okay about it on the first night of our stay (a Thursday). But Friday... more

I thought that the room was dirty, the service was slow and the people were very noisy the only positives were the price and location. more
