Hotéis em Birmingham perto de Adrian Boult Hall

Contras: Bed

Contras: TV did not work Bed too soft

Contras: Reception on arrival were very miserable, mini bar was warm, room card kept cancelling. The hotel was fully booked with Christmas parties so some very loud brash people.

Contras: I have to use a key card to access my floor, its a layer of security that is utterly redundant.

Contras: I have to say I love the Raddison blu brand but this will now be the 1st of two lower than average reviews I'll be writing. First of all I felt lucky and a little excited to get a good deal of £88 per night (with breakfast) as apposed to the £150-£170 most sites were advertising (including Raddison blu on their club Carlson membership site). It started with the arrival with my colleague, a small lobby for the size of the hotel. No one there at first but they came out seconds later so it wasn't too much of a problem. We explained to the front desk that I had booked the rooms for two of us, but rather than looking it was assumed it would be under separate names. Could have been my fault so I'll let that go. We then both checked in, only to find that both rooms were under my name. This was done quite fast, which was good and we were sent on our way with a brief explanation about the breakfast in the morning. Missed the offers that were on hand and not valid at check-in so no upsell. Had they asked we would have taken one of the offers. I did show my club Carlson card and asked if there was anyway of upgrading as to which she said "I'm afraid not as the hotel is fully booked". Which was understandable (remember this part!). I was getting myself together at the reception desk, at which she thanked me. She then thanked me again and gave me a look to say do that somewhere else! I looked around and saw a queue behind me, which I was surprised as there was no one there when we arrived. I apologised when I left the desk but left with a slightly sour taste in my mouth. I then went to my room which smelt of cigarettes. I wasn't sure whether someone was taking a chance on smoking in their room or it was a stench in the actual room. The carpet had stains that seemed well embedded (my colleagues room looked as though blood had been engraved into the carpet with stains too!), the tv had very poor reception (so that was the Brits out of the window). Bathroom was a good size and clean, so was the room in general. But lacked any homely or business feel.

Contras: The cleaning staff did not knock before coming into the room. The room was poorly decorated.

Contras: 11am check out time. Difference of opinion between day and night staff on check out times

Contras: Bar

Contras: Price of drinks far too expensive compared to other hotels Had a lunchtime ham sandwich No butter ,? Insufficient seating for breakfast to accommodate customers Had to wait for a seat and then oobtain extra chairs from different parts of restaurant hence food was cold

Contras: The only minor improvement in the room would be to have the toilet incorporated into the bathroom instead of being in a separate smaller room.

Contras: The room seemed really clean except for the floor. It wasn't exactly dirty, it just didn't seem like it had been swept properly. The shower unit was a bit weird as it is separate from the toilet and the door is opaque and opens up right into the bedroom. This wouldn't be a problem for a solo traveler or a couple (to be fair this was a room with only one double bed) however I'm sure in some situations this would be awkward. However, these are really minor things and really didn't bother me. The pros definitely outweigh the cons for this hotel.

Contras: Very basic, doesn’t even have shower gel. Poor views
