The Edgbaston Village tram station was super close by, which was handy for getting in and out of the city. The hotel felt safe, quiet, and clean. The staff were warm and friendly. My bed was very comfy, water in the shower was hot (not great pressure though). I had a lovely view out of my large window, and was fortunate to have three sunny days.

Friendly staff on arrival and throughout. We were lucky enough to be given a free upgrade to a deluxe double for no particular reason. A lovely clean room ( thank you Gloria) with everything we needed. The bathroom was especially nice.

Public areas clean and well presented. Room was spotless but a little tired. Odly we had a table lamp with a round pin plug but no round pin socket. A couple of bulbs were out. Heating too hot so left a window ajar. However would happily stay again.
