Location is excellent, short walk from the New Street Station and near many bars and restaurants. Also a lovely 10 minute walk from the Utilita arena along the canals past more bars and restaurants. Room was nice and breakfast was good. Great views from the restaurant. Had bottles of water in the room and tea/coffee making facilities. Along with iron and hairdryer. Would definitely return again if going to the Utilita.

Having booked half board, I was surprised to find out there is no breakfast offered on Tuesday! This did come off the total price, but meant I had to find alternatives while away with work. In addition, I felt very unwelcome in the restaurant!

Extremely uninterested girl on the check in desk. Waited a few minutes for someone to arrive at the desk. It did sound like the reception staff were having a good laugh though in the back area whilst I waited. Bad mannered and poor service. It was like she was doing me a favour checking me in.

Reception area very tired. No one on reception to greet guests, they stay in a back room and come out when they hear you. No mention of breakfast or the restaurant. Not a great first impression. Room very spacious and views were great. Room itself is a bit worn and could definitely do with a makeover.

Room was spacious but the AC wasn’t working which was fine as they provided a fan. But we were offered a free drink. The fridge didn’t work which could be an issue for people who need it for health reasons but they had someone to fix it straight away, sadly it wasn’t fixable. The bar was great and plenty of seating. Breakfast was massive and really tasty but the coffee was like warm. Had a nicer one back in the room.
