Birmingham Britannia Hotel - Average

Advantages: central location, reasonable room size
Disadvantages: dated furniture, noisy generator, rubbish towels

...I stayed at this hotel for work purposes on Monday 3rd March in a single room on the sixth floor. We paid £70 B&B. My initial reaction was to be extremely negative about this hotel, however, on reflection i think it is important to point out some of its good points. I would not say it was an enjoyable experience, however, it was adequate and i've had worse! On the plus side - This is a proper city centre hotel - right in the centre of town, close to shops. If you are visiting Birmingham to shop, this is perfect. The kettle and toilet were clean, which is always a good start! The member of staff who booked me in was pleasant and helpful. There was an error with our booking, we had 4 rooms booked, but only two of us were on the list. She gave me the list to check through - which had other guest's names and personal details...

The Hotel Which Time Forgot

Advantages: Cheap, great location
Disadvantages: Thin walls, decor has seen better days

...I have stayed in hotels from time to time after a night out as it often works out as cheaper than getting a taxi home for me!

DAYS INN - BIRMINGHAM WEST - £54.25 DOUBLE ENSUITE

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful, clean and tidy
Disadvantages: very basic, no frills, but at that price who wants them?

...We live in Devon and had tickets for a Runrig concert in Birmingham Symphony Hall. We live out in the country so going out into the big wide world can be quite scary you know what with all the guncrime and murder in the big cities!!! We were a bit wary of staying in the centre of Birmingham mainly due to cost, so we looked for somewhere on the edge and found Days Inn in West Bromwich, Birmingham. It is just off junction 1 of the M5 which was great and easy to find. We then took a taxi into Birmingham later on. This cost £12 each way, but thats another story! The hotel had underground parking which made us feel that the car was secure (no need to take the wheels in with us)!. The hotel is based on several floors of a large 10 storey building, with reception on the ground floor. Our swipe card would not open the room door...

Review of The Birmingham Hotel, Birmingham

A Hentastic Hotel

Advantages: Good Value, Great Location, Good Service
Disadvantages: Very Busy at Breakfast

...A few months ago my friend told me she was going to Birmingham on her Hen night and asked if I would like to go along. As it sounded like ages in the future, I said fine, I would love to go and promptly forgot about it. So, last weekend when I got an e-mail reminding me that we were leaving at 10am on Saturday morning to maximise drinking time my first thoughts were urghh... Birmingham why? And, I wonder where we are staying? Well, she knew better than I did as she had been to Birmingham a few months before and stayed at the Days Inn and thought it would make a great base for our Hen celebrations and she was right. Location This Hotel is in The Mailbox complex, right in the centre of Birmingham. This is where the Birmingham branch of Harvey Nichols is situated and a whole host of other trendy shops not to mention the wine and cafe...

Review of Premier Travel Inn London - Heathrow (Bath Road), London

Premier Inn Caerphilly - Great Hotel

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Could be a little bit closer to city centre

.... It was first time ever, me and my girlfriend decided to spend a weekend in Premier Inn Caerphilly. We spent there a bank holiday weekend in August. Wanted to book hotel in Cardiff but unfortunately everything was fully booked because of Madonna's concert. Were not really happy because of that but decided to reserve room. Hotel Hotel is placed 7 and half miles away from Cardiff, which is not far. If you have car you can park it for free in hotels parking. If not - there is number 26 bus route every two hours going to Cardiff. The nearest bus stop is only 5 minutes walk from hotel. Breakfast is not included in price of this hotel but you can order it when booking or on site. If you want to treat yourself with full breakfast it will cost you £7.50. You can have as much as you like. They offer some premium pork sausages...

Review of Premier Inn Caerphilly, Cardiff

Premier Inn Caerphilly - Ideal Hotel if on a budget

Advantages: Nice cheap hotel, very clean & comfortable
Disadvantages: none

...I first stayed in this hotel a few years ago because it was the only hotel I could get into for the WRC, we stayed there for a weekend. We had never stayed at a Premier Inn before & we were very pleasantly surprised - the hotel is situated just off a large roundabout, (it is very easy to get to) & we found it very peaceful with no traffic noise what so ever. The hotel is not very far from Cardiff so you can either drive in or the hotel has a bus stop close by and Caerphilly has a train station with a train running to cardiff at regular intervals, due to the horrible one way system in Cardiff we chose to catch the train in, it was only £4ish return & you get off right outside the Millenium Stadium. From the outside the Hotel looked in very good condition & the inside was in just as nice condition, the reception was excellent - friendly...

Premier Inn Brilliant Hotel

Advantages: comfatable bed, great shower, cleanliness brilliant.
Disadvantages: none

...Me and my partner and another couple went down to Colchester to visit our friends, and we decided to stay in this hotel as it was around the corner from ther house. The price of the room for the night was average for a decent hotel. On arrival to the hotel we were greeted by the receptionist and they were very polite, once we had checked in we went to put our luggage in our rooms. The rooms themselves were lovely and very cosy, they were very clean and the bed was very comfatable. The bathroom was a average bathroom with a shower over the bath and it was vary powerfull so the shower was great. Also we had a television showing all the basic channels and a few extas. There was a tea tray with tea/coffee/sugar and milk which was lovely to wake up to. the bedroom also had a couch underneath the window which was a nice extra. Overall...

Review of Premier Travel Inn, Colchester

Premier Inn, Charing Cross Glasgow

Advantages: Close to town and all amenities
Disadvantages: none

...I have never stayed in the Premier Inn before, but I felt I had to share my experience of the past weekend. The staff in both reception and the restaurant were fantastic, they were really helpful and made you feel right at home. The room and bathroom were both spotless, warm and the freeview television meant that my daughter didn't miss her soaps while she was away. The bed was both big and comfortable and we didn't have any trouble getting to sleep. We opted for the breakfast deal and we were not disappointed, the food was well cooked and warm there was also plenty of choice. Access to the hotel was excellent for both able bodied and non-able bodied people, we didn't have a wheelchair but we did have a six month old baby and a pram, and even though it is situated next to Charing Cross rail station we didn't hear a thing from...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Glasgow - City Centre (Charing Cross), Glasgow

Ideal place to stay in Birmingham

Advantages: near shops, train station, everything walking distance, price
Disadvantages: dark room lit by lamps

...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. ng Room is dark though its just lit with lamps which is quite annoying at time. Bathroom was clean and had shower gel and soaps...
