A very well positioned hotel only a couple of minutes from Birmingham new street station . Situated in the main shopping centre . Check in was a little slow due to a number of people turning up together otherwise efficient. Room was both spacious and comfortable with a lovely small double with lovely squishy pillows . Evening meal was a set meal for a couple of hundred fellow delegates and was well cooked and presented and the servers were very friendly and helpful. All very tasty. Breakfast was the usual fare with the hot food freshly cooked and served to order. Poached eggs were lovely. The conference facilities were very good and comfortable and lunch was a buffet and absolutely fine . Plenty of tea coffee and cold drinks. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

So it's a beautiful hotel and a great location but the staff haven't the first idea about service or general manners it's a shame really it really let's the place down. The taps in gentlemen toilets are set to high and completely soacked my trousers when washing my hands not to mention the lights turning off on me when I was in the cubicle. A continuous smell of cannabis in the lobby and out the front of the hotel. The food was OK but not great. In all honesty I will not be returning here. Very disappointed 😞

We stayed 21/08/2024 in room 420We paid extra for the room with a king size bedWe do like the hotel, it is well designed, beautiful, and a good location. Plus quiet despite being directly by a main road, tram line and train station.However, we were really disappointed with the service we received. We were woken up at 6am to a constant dripping sound, which was the air con leaking. This has clearly been an ongoing issue as the ceiling paper around the leak was damaged. (Though admittedly we didn’t see this prior damage until the leak started in the morning). We alerted the hotel reception, who witnessed the issue, put towels and a bucket down.Due to being woken that early, we expected to be offered free breakfast or at least some form of apology from the hotel. However, there was no acknowledgement. (The reception member who came up to the room at 6am was aware of the issue, and we repeated what happened upon checking out. Again, no apology or acknowledgement of our disruption given.)I didn’t plan on leaving a review as I thought in the week after that the hotel would be in contact via email to say ‘how was your stay?’ After all, they sent many emails leading up to it expressing how we could pay for an upgrade. It seems after your stay they don’t bother to send a final message asking for any feedback though.Needless to say, this lack of service on their part has left us not wanting to stay at their hotels again

Only good thing about this hotel is the location, not sure how they are calling themselves a luxury hotel. My room was disappointingly small and unclean. The ‘luxury Elemis products’ were all watered down and I wasn’t even given any body lotion or conditioner. I was also for some reason charged for a tray service when ordering room service which I found completely bizarre, for food that was adequate at best. To top all things off the lady at reception was unwelcoming and made it seem like I was a burden to just check out of my room and then seemed unable to provide me with my receipt for my stay. Will not be staying here again

The room is spacious and comfortable (on a 2 night stay). There is constant hot water and great WiFi. A large bathroom with free standing bath (bath robes too!). However, only filter coffee is available at breakfast and they had no smoked salmon. The freshly made porridge and scrambled eggs were very nice (though the porridge could have been slightly warmer). Overall great!

Excellent location and rooms and hotel clean if a little tired in places. Expensive food and drink and breakfast time is chaotic with cold toast coming fresh from the kitchen?? …

Superb hotel and more than accommodating to your needs. The front desk was extremely helpful and a special mention to Richard L who was brilliant and went out of his way to help me and the rest of my business colleagues out. Would definitely recommended
