Hotel di Castle Bromwich

En una visita reciente a Birmingham descubrimos este Castle por casualidad. Es un lugar magnífico, con encanto. El edificio principal, señorial, cuenta con la presencia de una historia imponente. El personal del hotel es superamable, especialmente Lewis que nos atendió desde el primer momento, habla un poquito de español, y se preocupó porque nuestra estancia fuese inolvidable. ¡Mil gracias! Muchas veces llevas la desagradable sorpresa de ver fotos perfectas de un lugar y cuando llegas no tienen parecido alguno. Aquí las habitaciones son tal cual ves en la foto.

What a lovely little apar**ent, home from home. Location was perfect just a short drive to everywhere. There is a convenience store, pharmacy and fast food place 1 minute away so really handy if you forget anything. Everything was perfect host was fast to reply and even gave us early check in 🥰

The hotel is spending a lot of money on re carpeting and room refurbishment which makes the stay more enjoyable but for me the food needs to improve. Bar meal last visit was served on a cold plate, so a cold meal. Breakfast is unappetising so I eat elsewhere. 3 night stay with no room service means the 4 tea bags and milk doesn’t last. But the hotel has improved greatly from where it was and does some great room rate deals.

Small touch will surprise you. Lovely hotel, the only negative thing was that I stayed during the heatwave and they didn’t have air conditioners but provided fans. With all that said I would rate them 5 star for uk.

I cant thank the staff enough from check in to check out the service was excellent. The ladies on check in were very efficient and helped with car park charges. The staff were accommodating to provide extra toilet roll finished in room and nothing was an inconvenience for the staff. I will most likely visit again.

The hotel itself is comfortable, clean and tidy. Close to airport but it is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. There are free shuttle buses going directly from hotel to Birmingham International station which is helpful. I had no issues taking shuttle bus from hotel to birmingham international, but me and a few others waited for more than 30 mins for it on our way back. Ended up having to take bus and uber back to hotel at night,

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

The check-in staff is very nice. The dining staffs were too much in a rush because there are too many guests for breakfast (btw it was uni open day). However, the food was nice and loved the hash brown. The location of the hotel is perfect for vising the University of Birmingham and it is 10 mins driving distance from the city centre. The room was clean and the size is sufficient for 2 guests and luggage.

It’s not that bad, I definitely think some of the other reviews are harsh. If I could give a 3.5 I would. As it’s definitely better than average but not quite as good as very good. Stayed for one night and yes it does look a bit tired. It just needs a little refurbishment. But the room was decent the bed reasonably comfortable and cleanliness well a little more attention and it would be perfect. The breakfast was ok not the best but certainly not the worst. The only thing watch the yoghurts as they were 2 days out of date. But yes to sum up one night maybe two a fine stay any longer then yes maybe look elsewhere.

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.
