"This hotel is well located for central Birmingham without being in the city centre. It is close to the tram line into Grand Central Station or just a short taxi ride. It is also close to Edgbaston. The building itself is quite historic and full of character. Because of this it doesn't feature all the amenities that one would expect of a newer hotel. However the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the staff very friendly and helpful."

"Staff was friendly. Rooms can get quite warm during summer days, definitely bring an extra fan or 2."

"Very good dinner menu with excellent staff. Breakfast offering was not so great. Bedroom (45) was poorly situated above the kitchen extractor and, whilst spotlessly clean, had a intercommunicating door which offered little noise insulation. The bathroom was stark, even by Premier Inn standards, and the offering of gels and soaps was poor. Hotel is in a lovely setting overlooking Dale End Park and the river beyond."
