Advantages: Near shops, train station, everything walking distance, price.

Disadvantages: Dark room lit by lamps, maybe a rubbish window view.

I booked the room on-line as you get discount off the room. I booked a single room for £42 which was usually £50.

The outside of the hotel makes it seem run down but inside the decoration is a traditional style. Best thing about this hotel is that its right in the centre of Birmingham, in between the shops and opposite the train station inside the Palisades. So if your going to staying Birmingham I would recommend this hotel over Travelodge on Broad Street at £66 which seems like a rip off.
The room offer modern facilities including TV, Telephone, Hairdryer, Trouser Press and Tea & Coffee making facilities. Its own restaurant and bar within the hotel. Room service. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Room is dark, though its just lit with lamps which is quite annoying at times. Bathroom was clean and had shower gel and soaps in there. Bed was comfy and I slept well, it was not as noisy as the stay on Broad Street. My bedroom view was rubbish though think I was facing another part of the hotel looking into other rooms.

So if your looking for a cheap stay in Birmingham I would definitely choose this hotel.
