Yes, most reviews are correct. The rooms need to be refurbished although beds are comfortable and the bedding is clean & fresh.

Service & food quality is good but the location is not the prettiest.

In summary it was the best priced hotel of this type in Birmingham for an overnighter and if, god forbid, I needed to overnight in Birmingham on business again I would chose the campanille.

If I was with the wife or the family then this hotel would not be the choice

My room was very cold, I actually thought there was a window open but there wasn't!! But i didn't really want to put my heater on as the walls had started to go black above the heater, so didn't want to sleep with it on...

The food wasn't great, the desert buffet, I told them the cakes were dried and hard and they said they'd look for some more,but didn't have much more in ghe fridge.. Like someone else said its a budget stay..
But realistically the hotel room was very clean spacious bathroom, I stopped here on business, so wasn't like a fun trip.

If you're planning an overnight here and expecting to get some sleep forget it! When we stayed it was full of drunk hen parties, with screaming and laughing down the corridors until gone 5.00am. The night porter was a complete waste of time and we didn't sleep a wink! Complained the next morning and got a miserly £25 refund, my advice would be if you want to rest and sleep, you'd best get a tent and pitch it on a main road in Birmingham city centre - you'll sleep better!

Ok, I wasn't expecting much for £46 a night and it didn't disappoint. It's not terrible (the bed was clean) but it's pretty run down. The bathroom was pretty old looking and could do with a make-over, the room was small and the carpet-well, I kept my socks on.The bar is ok (didn't try the food) and the location ok. Put it this way, if I went to Brum again, and money was an issue for a prolonged stay, I would probably book but for an overnight with the missus-no way. Reception seemed friendly enough-location, I wouldn't advise walking from it so taxis would be the name of the game.
