Birmingham Hotels with Bars

What can I say about The Grand? What a hotel! It was first rate from start to finish our room was immaculate, very spacious, the bathrooms are gorgeous with beautiful Penhaligons toiletries. The bed was really comfortable as well as the pillows. The staff were amazing and very attentive nothing was any trouble. The location of the hotel in the city centre was brilliant everything on your doorstep. I do not have one bad word to say about it and will be coming back again. The Grand in every way!

Where do I begin. The hotel itself is in a nice part of town surrounded by the Aston Uni. Hotel/Conference center shares its space with the Uni Law building, but in itself it’s actually quiet. The issues begin with the room itself. It’s a spacious, but there is no air conditioning… which is not great if you’re baking in this freak heatwave. The windows don’t open too far, and can’t be opened more than 2 inches “due to health and safety”. The cleanliness of the room was practically nonexistent, down to housekeeping flipping the sheets to hide a stain, shower gel marks on the shower from the previous guest wasn’t cleaned, a chocolate stain on a towel in the bathroom and lastly a crusty tissue covered with something I’d rather not touch, that was next to the spare pillows on the storage unit and the fact that our used spoons/cups in the room weren’t replaced with clean ones when housekeeping reset our room while we were out for the day. Dust in the room was also a serious problem, but again this could be due to the lack of good ventilation. These are a few issues which I wouldn’t consider to be common practice, since this is usually taken care of during daily housekeeping when staying more than one night, so I was disappointed with the lack of care taken. The front desk staff were friendly enough though.

Staff were absolutely fantastic, so friendly and helpful from check-in to checkout. The location is ideal right in Birmingham city centre, super easy to get around everywhere. Room was spotlessly clean and everything was exactly as it should be. No complaints at all, would definitely stay here again and highly recommend

The hotel is perfect for tourists who want to transfer from Birmingham to another city. All equipment is perfect and advanced and the cost is reasonable. HOWEVER, the female receptionist is very rude and irritable, when I checked in with her, there’s the same name as me booked this hotel and I just double checked the days and whether I booked the breakfast or not she showed her impatience and rudeness.

It was a nice stay, everyone was nice and friendly, the location was really accessible and easy to navigate, and the room had a great view of the city so I really enjoyed my stay there. I definitely re-booking for my next stay in Birmingham.

The stay was suppose to be relaxing. The hotel was great however the stay was a let down when golf course maintenance woke us up right outside the window with a hedge trimmer at 7am which lasted right up until we checked out. Sad end to the stay.

Spacious Rooms: The rooms are very large, offering plenty of space to unpack and relax. Great Kitchen Amenities: The room is equipped with fantastic amenities, specifically the dishwasher, hob, and microwave, which made the stay very convenient. Amazing Location: Perfectly situated with numerous restaurants, attractions, and public transport links right on the doorstep, plus plenty of convenience stores nearby. Exceptional Staff: The entire team was amazing, from the welcoming reception to the room service staff. Air Conditioning: Having proper AC was a huge bonus and a lifesaver during the hot days. Needs improvement Tiny Washroom: The bathroom is incredibly cramped. It is so small that you have to awkwardly shuffle around just to manage closing the door. Uncomfortable Bed Setup: Instead of an actual double bed, the hotel pushed two single beds together. This created a hollow, sinking gap in the middle of the mattresses, which was quite uncomfortable. Infrequent Housekeeping: We only received room cleaning once during our entire 11-day stay. Even considering it is an aparthotel, the lack of daily or more frequent room service was disappointing for a trip of that length. No In-Room Washing Machine: Despite having a kitchen setup, there was no washing machine inside the room, which would have been very helpful for a longer stay.

The hotel doesn't have its own parking. If you're driving, you have to walk to the nearby B4 carpark, though the parking fee was discounted. I specifically booked a more expensive executive king room, but they still gave us a room with two beds. When I asked the front desk, they said the main bed was large and the smaller one next to it was a 'bonus.' I was so speechless I actually laughed. It was too late and I was too tired to argue, so I just stayed for one night. Anyway, it wasn't what I booked, so it's a negative review.

There was no hot water across the hotel when we arrived. They didn't tell us in check-in and said there was a sign instead. They didn't bother to use initiative and keep gym pool shower changing rooms available instead, as they needed member of staff to be present !! Not well organised during this incident. The pool, sauna and facilities are APPALLING and in bad state and needs urgent updating. Full of kids ruling the pool & jacuzzi and staff members don't care. Hygiene is not a top Priority . Location is easy accessible by car off motorway. Many small takeaway and restaurants near by.

5 stars. Exceptionally clean room, outstanding staff and an unbeatable location. Everything you need is within walking distance and the surrounding shops and amenities make it the perfect spot. Friendly people throughout and an altogether excellent stay. Highly recommended.
