“I see this hotel as a practical choice in Birmingham, particularly for its location, near both the O2 and Utilita arenas and convenient to New Street station. The hotel is modern in style, has social spaces and includes the notable perk of late check-out; the breakfast buffet and bar service around the clock add further value, in my opinion.”

The room was decent and had everything needed for a quick overnight stay. The staff were friendly, a plus. The location was also super easy to get to, with close proximity to local amenities and venues.

The amenities weren't stocked up fully. There wasn't MUCH to do apart from the gym. I think that the hotel should have more to offer.
