Birmingham Hotels with Bars

Staff friendly and welcoming. They kindly arranged a complimentary birthday treat in the room. Grateful for that. Room was clean, spacious enough with 2x double beds. Bathroom With shower clean. Breakfast was lovely. Really enjoyed our stay.

I recently stayed at your hotel and unfortunately left feeling quite disappointed with several aspects of my stay. Upon arrival, I noticed what appeared to be blood stains on the curtains, hair left on the towel/flannel in the bathroom, and marks on the table surfaces. I have attached photographs for reference, as I feel these are basic housekeeping standards that should have been checked prior to a guest arriving. I also experienced multiple issues with food and service during my stay. I ordered a charcuterie board, however the Parma ham and other cured meats appeared dried out, discoloured and no longer fresh. Unfortunately, after eating it, I also felt unwell afterwards, which was particularly concerning. Later, when ordering dinner, I asked for a croque monsieur but the staff member repeatedly did not understand the order, despite me explaining it was a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. I was eventually advised to order a panini instead. Additionally, I ordered truffle fries but was informed they were unavailable. I agreed to normal fries, however what arrived were heavily seasoned thick-cut chips which were completely different from what I expected and unfortunately not enjoyable. Another issue was the iron provided in the room, which had black residue/staining on it and ended up marking my top, which was very frustrating. As I had booked the stay primarily to relax and enjoy a quiet evening in the room with room service, it was disappointing that the overall experience did not feel comfortable or enjoyable. What disappointed me further was that upon check-out, nobody asked how my stay was or whether everything had been satisfactory, despite the multiple issues experienced throughout my visit. I wanted to bring this to your attention as I do not usually complain, however I felt the overall standard of cleanliness, food quality and service fell below expectations. Kind regards, Karolina

It was generally a good stay. The only two issues I had this time were: 1- The shower drain was almost blocked. It took me ages to take my shower as the water was about to flood and I had to clise the water and wait for it to be emptied before I could open the water again. 2- the was not enough toilet paper.

Facilities: Well-maintained. The room and bed were a bit small; it would have been perfect if they were a little larger. Hygiene: Very good. Environment: Extremely close to the train station and Chinatown, making dining very convenient. Getting around is even easier, as the NEC exhibition center is just one train stop away. Service: Good.

The location of the hotel was great, I quite enjoyed not having to hassle too much to get to the hotel. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff and was checked in right away. We were on the 7th floor which was great, had a beautiful view from our room. I only have two problems with this hotel, the elevators were really slow and the AC in our room was leaking!

The hotel is decent, and the location is quite convenient. The front desk service was just okay. Breakfast selection was a bit limited, but the taste was pretty good. Transportation is very convenient, especially for getting to the train station. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a local experience.

I stay here once a year as it is not far from the NEC in Birmingham. The location of the hotel is perfect as so close to the motorway but feels like you are in countryside as so quiet and relaxing. It could probably do with a little TLC as the some of the furniture in my room was looking a little tired but still very clean. The staff are lovely and helpful with good service. I have been to this hotel many times over the years and only used the swimming pool once which is the only downside to this place. I would not use again as not the relaxing hotel experience I anticipated as was very busy. Priority appears to be given to the paying public over hotel residents and the changing room was disgusting with used towels piled high on the floor. Staff were stood around having a laugh with their mates and had to interrupt to ask where to get towels then had to ask another member of the public how to open the lockers. I would continue to use this hotel but wouldn’t risk the swimming pool again.

Spacious Rooms: The rooms are very large, offering plenty of space to unpack and relax. Great Kitchen Amenities: The room is equipped with fantastic amenities, specifically the dishwasher, hob, and microwave, which made the stay very convenient. Amazing Location: Perfectly situated with numerous restaurants, attractions, and public transport links right on the doorstep, plus plenty of convenience stores nearby. Exceptional Staff: The entire team was amazing, from the welcoming reception to the room service staff. Air Conditioning: Having proper AC was a huge bonus and a lifesaver during the hot days. Needs improvement Tiny Washroom: The bathroom is incredibly cramped. It is so small that you have to awkwardly shuffle around just to manage closing the door. Uncomfortable Bed Setup: Instead of an actual double bed, the hotel pushed two single beds together. This created a hollow, sinking gap in the middle of the mattresses, which was quite uncomfortable. Infrequent Housekeeping: We only received room cleaning once during our entire 11-day stay. Even considering it is an aparthotel, the lack of daily or more frequent room service was disappointing for a trip of that length. No In-Room Washing Machine: Despite having a kitchen setup, there was no washing machine inside the room, which would have been very helpful for a longer stay.

After unable to leave Birmingham, We decided to stop at the Clayton again and give it another night from the bad system issues they were having. This was a lot better granted and the floors are very secure having floor locked to your key cards to get access. Breakfast we were earlier down and it paid off. Breakfast was better this time. Only little issue was the bathroom could do with a bit more attention to detail with little bits of little black mold in the more harder to reach areas and red residue in the grouting in the tiles. Apart from that sure I’d sure recommend it for the pricing

5 stars. Exceptionally clean room, outstanding staff and an unbeatable location. Everything you need is within walking distance and the surrounding shops and amenities make it the perfect spot. Friendly people throughout and an altogether excellent stay. Highly recommended.
