Hotel berhampiran Shard End Library, Birmingham

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.

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

easyHotel was in a nice location and less than 5-minute walk from the train station if you exit Birmingham New Street.We was welcomed by Eliza at reception, and she was lovely and polite. Made us feel very welcome and really helped us with other things. Our room was clean, and the layout was quite nice compared to other holiday inns.

We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel, I was expecting a budget experience but had a wonderful stay. Room was clean and modern, no banging doors so had a lovely night sleep in comfortable beds. Breakfast buffet was excellent for £8.99 and my daughter ate for free. The hotel itself is in a perfect spot for Birmingham Hippodrome, chinese quarter, nightlife and Bullring. Would highly recommend.

Generally good for short trip over the weekend, great location with access to public parking and car parks. However the lift wasn’t working properly leading to delays. In room facilities get dated and so can tailor just basic needs, cleanliness just ok barely borderline 3 stars. Staffs are friendly and helpful, many staffs at the canteen during breakfast times, responsive and friendly. Passed for the money spent increasing overall cleanliness and better quality towels etc. would help increase rating.

Really comfortable, staff very friendly. Spa and gym facilities. Breakfast was nice, but had to keep asking to get things topped up. I would definitely stay again

Service was good & quick staff very friendly food good , Breakfast was very good lots to choose from & plenty. Room adequate. The only downside we was right opposite night club music booming out to early hours of the morning. But would stay again but make sure we have other side of hotel.

Great hotel five mins from the bus stop. Staff very helpful. Only issue was stepping into the bath. The glass screen is fixed so you have to step in and get out the end where no ridged service. I would advise if you are small or with shorter legs then for safety ask for a shower or put a towel in the bath to stop you from falling. Housekeeping beware please ensure cups are properly washed.

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

バーミンガムシティ中央にあるセントポール大聖堂の真向かいです。まわりには高級レストランやデパート、一本通りを変えればパブやカフェなど賑やかです。チェックイン時、私の日本アクセントと受付男性の南米アクセントでコミュニケーションが上手くとれなかったせいか、横柄な対応を感じました。ホテルは部屋もレストランも歴史的建造物だけあって素晴らしいです。部屋のバスルームが広くて気に入りました。
