PH Hostel Birmingham

Birmingham|1.54km from The Drum
There is so much to unpack here when it comes to Selina Birmingham. Never again am I staying at this hellhole of a hotel. For a name like Selina, the hotel sure is nightmarish to stay at. It's shameful that the hotel shares the same name with my non-biological/cosplay partner. There is no breakfast but at least, the bedding, the pillows and the duvet are comfy (but most likely due to the fact that I’m tired) and the wi-fi is decent. Unfortunately, this is where the compliments stop, especially when the dorm rooms are so dark, you have to turn on the flashlight on your phone in order to see. Not to mention, there is no television in the room I was staying in. To make matters worse, the dorm room is cold, coupled with no heating. I honestly don't mind the cold most of the time but the room temperature is too cold for my liking. Speaking of the ground floor, the Korean receptionist told me that I'm not allowed to eat my food at a table at the cafe and told me to climb the stairs all the way to the third floor in order to eat my food. It isn't fair, considering the receptionist with the short, dark hair tends to allow me to eat my food at a table at the cafe during the very early hours of the morning. I eventually lost my patience and yelled at the Korean receptionist. It's rare when I lose my patience. I threatened in a growly voice with, ”I suggest you fill the pot noodle to the top with water unless you want a scathing, negative review to be blasted on the radio for everyone to hear?”. Finally, she got the memo. The rooms, bathrooms and toilets and facilities are unsanitary (for example, there are biscuit crumbs all over the bed sheets. I didn't know until I got out of bed), the entire hotel itself is not accessibility-friendly as if the lack of a lift and the staff not being accommodating towards disabled people such as myself isn’t of any indication, the kitchen and the kitchen equipment on the third floor are dirty, there is no hot water in some of the bathrooms within the dorm rooms, the bathrooms and the dorm rooms are shared (therefore, there is no privacy), the lights keep turning themselves off if you’re idle (I’m more used to turning on and off the lights on my own accord), you need to pay £10 for a padlock which is complicated for disabled people and the list goes on. The toilets, bathrooms, kitchen etc are just as dirty as Badea Faulkner and Olive Allison Brown from the Avanzar House in Middleton, Manchester not cleaning up after themselves. And don’t get me started on the staff being problematic. They aren’t very useful to the point where I had to shout at them due to their language barriers and them not listening to me, let alone understanding me. This is troubling for autistic people like me. Never in all my years have I encountered such frustrating hotel staff members. Compared to the other hotels I've stayed at in the past, the hotel staff in these hotels were never infuriating. If a lack of staff doesn’t tell you the appalling

Aloft Birmingham Eastside
4.6/566 Reviews
Going on a business trip, really not looking forward to it at all..booked the closest hotel to the venue not realising it’s actually connected..expected to be in a travel lodge-esque box…this hotel was so nice, I’d happily go back! Everything about it, polite helpful check-in staff, excellent room with everything I needed. Lovely staff in the restaurant, even allowed me to grab a pastry for breakfast even though I’d not paid for breakfast ( surgery precludes me chomping down on piled high buffet plates)….uber comfortable bed, fab shower, tea coffee facilities, iron and board, usb sockets in the room…in spite of what others may have experienced, the entire hotel was immaculately clean and tidy..with a somewhat unusual but really nice orange smell in the reception…would not hesitate to stay here again!!
The Bull

Good location only a 15 minute walk from BNS station. Single room was perfect for a solo traveller had everything you’d need, en-suite bathroom, toiletries & beverage tray. Good food served downstairs in the pub.
Frederick Street Townhouse
4.2/550 Reviews
We stayed here for our anniversary and what a stunning room we had! I loved all the small details added to the room and the bathroom was lovely. I was amazed at the interior of this hotel, it really is stunning! The owner of the hotel is extremely friendly, as are all the staff. We were warmly welcomed into the hotel which was lovely. The hotel is just a short walk into the city centre - we walked down and got an Uber back because it was extremely cold (an Uber from the city centre only cost us £4.50). Breakfast was also included in our hotel stay and this was lovely. They give you a huge choice of what you can have and you can order as much as you like! The breakfast was lovely, gorgeous poached eggs and sausages! We really loved this hotel and will definitely be visiting again!
Hotel at Conference Aston
4.1/5115 Reviews
I needed to stay somewhere near to Aston University for a few days and you really can't get closer than the conference Aston Hotel. First impressions were excellent. Warm welcome from reception (which remained the same throughout my stay), stylish & impeccable clean and cool room, and access to the Uni Sports centre swimming pool. As a swimmer i actually went every day . Its a beautiful old pool which has been restored and I loved swimming in it. You have to reserve a place to prevent overcrowding - i swam on the two hottest days of the year and it was sublime. I didn't eat in the hotel restaurant and so cannot comment, but my room remained clean, quiet and comfortable all week and with very easy access to the city - you are spoiled for choice of anything. Personally , I couldn't fault my stay which was perfect for my purposes. I even booked an additional night the week after as i felt so comfortable and would certainly stay again.
Hampton by Hilton Birmingham Jewellery Quarter
3.9/5129 Reviews
Great hotel and family friendly, although upon research of the carpark the hotel recommend to their guest we discovered on trip adviser that it seems alot of peoples cars get broken into as there is lack of cctv at livery street carpark. Obviously not the hotels fault but maybe they should check that out before recommending. We choose to park in the town center and selfridges carpark for £20 for just over 24hrs and felt alot more satisfied that our car would be OK there over night.
Saint Pauls House
4.1/5102 Reviews
The hotel is on St Paul’s Square. Parking around the square is free on Sundays. The entrance is worthy of a selfie and a post on Instagram. Reception is in the left corner of the lobby as you enter and the desk staff are very helpful and informative. Rooms are small but very clean. The minibar was “free”. Lifts out of order.
