Very Good

Great location for Birmingham City centre (two minute walk to local tram stop) with out the expense of the large chain hotel groups, easy parking at an affordable rate, pleasant and efficient staff , well appointed room with good amenities. Choice of a well stocked bar serving drinks and food or hotel restaurant serving evening food and breakfast, whilst some parts are a little dated or tired the hotel is very comfortable and welcoming for a couple of nights stay.

Such a lovely hotel, staff were so helpful and pleasant, very comfortable nights sleep, room kept warm in spite of freezing temperatures outside, everything spotless.
Few staff members but the ones there were were amazing, hardworking, wanted to please , polite and helpful. Nice bar area . Good size rooms with table and chairs. Lovely comfortable bed . Left my coat in the lounge and it was safely put away until I remembered. Good breakfast. Great location.
The breakfast was buffet style with staff always checking and topping up plus always cleaning up and very helpful and friendly, poached eggs were lovely
The Edgbaston Village tram station was super close by, which was handy for getting in and out of the city. The hotel felt safe, quiet, and clean. The staff were warm and friendly. My bed was very comfy, water in the shower was hot (not great pressure though). I had a lovely view out of my large window, and was fortunate to have three sunny days.
Hotel has seen better days, old original part looks lovely, but the Newest part of building (bedrooms furthest away from Road) a bit dated and in need of renovation. Old furniture which was chipped and dated, old carpets. However our bed was comfortable and hotel was fine for one night stay. Good value for money.

What a lovely clean friendly hotel
Very helpful and lovely
Definitely recommend friends to stay with your accommodation
This is one of the cleanest bathrooms in a hotel that I have stayed in. Parking could be a bit cheaper. Good location easy to get to town. Reception and staff friendly.

Friendly staff on arrival and throughout. We were lucky enough to be given a free upgrade to a deluxe double for no particular reason. A lovely clean room ( thank you Gloria) with everything we needed. The bathroom was especially nice.
Great location for visiting the city centre. Shame about the £15 parking fee. Advised on booking that if we had booked direct with Best Western, the car park is free.
