Room was lovely and staff were smashing tad expensive on the bar tho but apart from that good. We had to call the front desk about a high pitch sound but turns out it was someone using the shower either across or above us. But apart from that a smashing night thank you and we're looking forward to our stay next year

Everything was good. Just my headphones went missing after the room was being cleaned. I’ve not been able to report this as my priorities were to deal with something more personal.

Check-in time had a big queue but the team got through it quickly. Elsa was so warm and welcoming! The room was clean and simple, just what we needed. The lifts took a while so factor this in if you’re on a higher floor. Breakfast was good, as a vegan I would’ve appreciated food labels for suitability. However Paru was a diamond and helpful, and got me some vegan sausages. It was a lovely stay and we’ll definitely come back when we stay in Birmingham again.
