Dirty rooms ”

The room we were given was dirty my partner had to clean it we were put on a complete different side with no one there everyone else was given the clean block this was I feel in my opinion that the colour of my skin didn't match and my partner being of a different race I thought they thought I'd got her of the street as the man looked at me and said it 100 pound deposit even thou id booked and payed online in full the hotel as gone down hill dramaticly it use to make you feel welcome id never go back there in my life ONE WORD FILTHY AND SMELLS AND YOU SCRATCH ALL NIGHT

Would never stay again”

We were attending a colleagues retirement party on the Hagley road and a friend had told us they were staying at the Appollo so we decided we would also stay. This was without reading reviews or looking at pictures...our mistake. Arrived to go into reception and be told we were in blockA 206. The room was dated, smelt of musty smoke and minimal lighting. We told ourselves it was for one night and we would be at the party until late. Post party we got back to the room to the noise of cars coming and going which carried on all night with people hanging around outside. There were other guests on the balcony’s smoking and being loud. Then at 5.40 the fire alarm went off as someone was smoking in their room! We left at 6.30 to go home and get some sleep. Once you’ve checked in anyone can be in and out of rooms as all rooms are on the car park with no monitoring of them. It felt unsafe and we did not enjoy our stay.

Needs Modernising!”

The hotel could do with some modernising! The rooms could be cleaner and are need of a lick of paint. The central heating systems was really noisy and the thermostat on the radiator was broken, which meant that the room was uncomfortably warm throughout the stay.

Affordable in good location. Old building ”

Room are so bad...asked for room change 3 times...almost walked out due to the state of the rooms..”

Some rooms smelt of cigerrate...some poorly presented ...dirty linen..old kettles...tv remote not working had to be replaced...some lights not working...poorly maintained

Will definitely be coming back ”

For £35 a head it was amazing value and the staff were so friendly. Rooms great size, bit odd they put us in a 5 bed room when there was only 4 of us and strange the rooms had a connecting door but only one bathroom, and also was not told you need to do a £100 deposit on check in. Other than that pure quality.

Adequate stay”

We chose this hotel as it was recently refurbished n it was quite close to the University of Birmingham Housekeeping was inconsistent We had to change the kettle twice as it was not working They finally gave us a new one The box of tissues was empty when we checked in There was no mini fridge which was really inconvenient Only advantage is the parking n the room doors n windows r facing inwards away from the traffic noise

Room itself was OK but didn't like the "chalet" type accommodation. Not a hotel feel”

Felt like staying in individual flats not a hotel. Room's are chalet type rooms.

'Good location'”

Stayed 1 night for business trip. Reception is modern, staff friendly and helpful on check in. Rooms are very clean but basic. Bathroom was small but also clean. I had a hissing radiator in my room all night, but easily fixed by turning it off. Numerous restaurants close by argentine steak house, Akbar curry, TGIF, Ask, Garden House, Beefeater , all within 2 mi walk. Would stay again

Nice room and facilities”

good quality modern room, with kettle, iron, hairdryer and a small television with a limited number of domestic and international tv channels.

Nice hotel lovely rooms”

Overall this is a very nice hotel centrally located close to the city centre an many other attraction and the rooms are clean an the staff are very friendly an the breakfast has variety i would stay here again

An ok place, decent value for money”

The Hotel was fairly basic and the rooms seemed a bit like flats converted, we had a random house door on our room. The staff were friendly and helpful giving advice on cabs and buses to Birmingham centre. Nothing massively exciting about the hotel. The parking was free. This was just a stop off point for us, so there were not any reasons for a more than basic stay.

comfortable rooms”

Rooms are spacious. But the TV is obsoletely old. A flat screem would fit the room very well

Just what I neded”

the location was great close to the place i was visiting. the staff where friendly and helpful. the room was clean but the décor was a bit tired. breakfast was a bit hectic but the food was fine. would stay here again if in the area.

friendly staff”

on arrival staff friendly. rooms clean. bath aswell as shower in rooms. on the main road so easy to get to wherever you want to go

Clean hotel with friendly staff”

Hotel stay was pleasant enough, reasonably priced, large rooms

fairly good”

Good for a night as price was good, quite far out of city, clean, furnishings worn, bed lumpy and deco dated but I liked it, it could be really lovely.

Value for money”

Overall I was pleased, it was value for money for the type of room. I stay in many hotels through the year, all around the world and I thought it was OK for the UK. Good accommodation in the UK can be quite expensive. You don't normally get much for less than 50.00 GBP, this was 30.00 per night including the full english!

The Apollo Hotel, Birmingham”

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Very clean rooms. Great food. Quiet location within easy reach of the city.
