Hotels Near schuh in Birmingham

Fabulous hotel in the heart of Birmingham. Walk is not too far to Broad street which is where we were headed. The decor is tastefully done and the pool table on the 1st floor was greatly enjoyed for a little bit of relaxation and competitiveness. Stayed in a Penter plus room on the 7rh floor and despite the lack of bath robe and slippers which it stated on trip, the room was modern, fresh, clean and comfortable.

Rooms quite small but clean and bed comfy No electrical socket by bed so could not have phone by bed when charging No kettle in room Close to bull ring shopping centre and new street station Worth the money paid

I needed to stay somewhere near to Aston University for a few days and you really can't get closer than the conference Aston Hotel. First impressions were excellent. Warm welcome from reception (which remained the same throughout my stay), stylish & impeccable clean and cool room, and access to the Uni Sports centre swimming pool. As a swimmer i actually went every day . Its a beautiful old pool which has been restored and I loved swimming in it. You have to reserve a place to prevent overcrowding - i swam on the two hottest days of the year and it was sublime. I didn't eat in the hotel restaurant and so cannot comment, but my room remained clean, quiet and comfortable all week and with very easy access to the city - you are spoiled for choice of anything. Personally , I couldn't fault my stay which was perfect for my purposes. I even booked an additional night the week after as i felt so comfortable and would certainly stay again.

Good location near station and shopping mall but a bit messy. The rooms are large and there are plenty of milk tea bags. There will be no other facilities. The breakfast at the hotel is buffet style and tastes average.

I stopped here one night with friends for my birthday. The hotel is easy to get to, and the location is excellent as it’s located on Broad Street, near Brindley Place which hosts a wide range of bars and pubs. So if you’re visiting Birmingham to have a drunken, night out or a special occasion then this hotel is perfect. There’s also parking on site behind the hotel which is very handy, unfortunately the car park isn’t discounted for guests stopping in the hotel. After waiting in a small queue, we attempted to check in at 14:30 (half hour earlier than check in ‘opens’) we were told the room wasn’t ready. Which wasn’t an issue as they had luggage storage available. We can back to check in at 16:00 and the queue was horrendous. I’ve never seen a queue as big as this to check in for a hotel before. We waited for 20 minutes until we checked in. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped. Although there were coffee cups left behind the curtains upon entry. The bathroom was very modern and had a walk in shower. The beds were unbelievably comfy and had plug sockets by the side of the bed which is a massive plus as not every hotel has this. Luckily, it was a quicker process checking out as you can just pop your keys in the ‘express checkout box’. Overall, a comfortable night stay in the heart of Birmingham, unfortunately the check in was horrific.

There is so much to unpack here when it comes to Selina Birmingham. Never again am I staying at this hellhole of a hotel. For a name like Selina, the hotel sure is nightmarish to stay at. It's shameful that the hotel shares the same name with my non-biological/cosplay partner. There is no breakfast but at least, the bedding, the pillows and the duvet are comfy (but most likely due to the fact that I’m tired) and the wi-fi is decent. Unfortunately, this is where the compliments stop, especially when the dorm rooms are so dark, you have to turn on the flashlight on your phone in order to see. Not to mention, there is no television in the room I was staying in. To make matters worse, the dorm room is cold, coupled with no heating. I honestly don't mind the cold most of the time but the room temperature is too cold for my liking. Speaking of the ground floor, the Korean receptionist told me that I'm not allowed to eat my food at a table at the cafe and told me to climb the stairs all the way to the third floor in order to eat my food. It isn't fair, considering the receptionist with the short, dark hair tends to allow me to eat my food at a table at the cafe during the very early hours of the morning. I eventually lost my patience and yelled at the Korean receptionist. It's rare when I lose my patience. I threatened in a growly voice with, ”I suggest you fill the pot noodle to the top with water unless you want a scathing, negative review to be blasted on the radio for everyone to hear?”. Finally, she got the memo. The rooms, bathrooms and toilets and facilities are unsanitary (for example, there are biscuit crumbs all over the bed sheets. I didn't know until I got out of bed), the entire hotel itself is not accessibility-friendly as if the lack of a lift and the staff not being accommodating towards disabled people such as myself isn’t of any indication, the kitchen and the kitchen equipment on the third floor are dirty, there is no hot water in some of the bathrooms within the dorm rooms, the bathrooms and the dorm rooms are shared (therefore, there is no privacy), the lights keep turning themselves off if you’re idle (I’m more used to turning on and off the lights on my own accord), you need to pay £10 for a padlock which is complicated for disabled people and the list goes on. The toilets, bathrooms, kitchen etc are just as dirty as Badea Faulkner and Olive Allison Brown from the Avanzar House in Middleton, Manchester not cleaning up after themselves. And don’t get me started on the staff being problematic. They aren’t very useful to the point where I had to shout at them due to their language barriers and them not listening to me, let alone understanding me. This is troubling for autistic people like me. Never in all my years have I encountered such frustrating hotel staff members. Compared to the other hotels I've stayed at in the past, the hotel staff in these hotels were never infuriating. If a lack of staff doesn’t tell you the appalling

clean, helpful. Near to the city center. It happens to close to the Black Sabbath bridge, and I was a fun of them.

What a fabulous experience at this Holiday Inn Express! From the moment we entered we were welcomed with cheery staff who were always smiling and only too happy to help. The Hotel is very clean! Obviously the carpet will have some marks but you can see that they have gone to great lengths to try and remove these. Our room was so clean. The bed linen was pure white and the towels were almost new and very clean and fluffy. (The only downside are the room doors) As the rooms all have to have fire doors it is a little stressful every time a door has to be slammed shut! Be it morning, noon or night there is no option but to slam the door as it doesn't lock otherwise (Room 131 which I did report) Breakfast was all you would need and different options to accommodate everyone. I am Coeliac and was given GF cereal and GF bread toasted separately in the kitchen and covered in cling film to bring to the table obviously reducing the cross contamination issue. What a great relief! My only criticism would be how long it takes to order food through the day, this takes a while and reduces the availability of staff to serve from the bar, but not a biggie. Would definitely recommend this place and highly commend the staff for such wonderful Customer Service obviously guided by good Management.

I wrote the following email to the hotel upon check out, (14 days ago and no response) We booked a family room, as we had our little boy with us he is 4 and he could not reach the sink, you may like to consider in offering a child’s step when selling it as a family room so they can reach the sink and climb into bath. The shower curtain was not very clean and I didn’t feel comfortable when it was sticking to my skin whilst showering. See attached photo. There was no information given or provided in the room about the Wi-Fi. There was no TV guide on the television. No fridge in the room. One toilet roll for a family of three. No air conditioning We were notified that the swimming pool was closed which was disappointing but at least notified even though it didn’t reflect in the price. Breakfast was Luke warm buffet style so disappointing. The housekeeper knocked the door at 8.30am when we hadn’t checked out. I would like to mention we stayed at The Marriot in the centre of Birmingham on Tuesday night and this was a much better experience. All in all, it was a very disappointed stay.

Great value with friendly service Shame Wi-Fi was not working
