Birmingham hotels near St. Chad's Cathedral

Pros: Staff were great- reception very helpful and restaurant staff too. I’ll definitely stay again.

Pros: This is a very modern hotel and we had a nice room with a good size and comfortably equipped. Everything was fine and well taken care of and we enjoyed the walk in shower. The room was very clean as well. The hotel is well positioned between the city center and Digbeth which was perfect for us as we could walk to the event at Digbeth Arena we were in town for. Our room on the 4th floor was quiet and we could not hear the traffic. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. We also booked breakfast which offered a lot of options to choose from.

Cons: Although I cannot complain about the quality of the hotel I found it quite expensive. Additionally they could need a bit more staff at the breakfast buffet. On both days a side table full of used dishes wasn't cleared for a good while and did not offer the nicest sight. On the 2nd day we went at a busier breakfast time and quite a lot of things were in need of a refill. That refill did happen but it took a bit of time.

Pros: The hotel itself was well built and modern and spacious.

Cons: I did not like that area of town and replenishing of stuff in the mornings was very erratic.

Pros: Location was great. Staff in general were well mannered. Up to 18 floors. Has a gym, but didn't get to see it. Well sized rooms also. Shoe machines on the floors along with ice.

Cons: 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.

Pros: Central location to conference centre and New Street station. Room well appointed and comfortable and staff were good.

Cons: Hotel bar card machine out of order and no draft beer working. Small things but irritating.

Pros: Bed was extremely comfortable and big Breakfast had a wide range of options and you could also order from the menu as well as the buffet for free

Cons: The rooms felt tired in terms of decor and the cleaning of the bathroom wasn’t fantastic

Pros: I was passed out drunk in my room after a somewhat heated exchange wit my partner. She for reasons only known to whatever deity you pretend to pray to elected to come over. This was an excellent choice assisted by the staff of the Radisson blu hotel.

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

Pros: Everything was perfect. Hotel rooms clean and trendy. Staff polite and helpful. Loads of bars and restaurants on the doorstep

Cons: Being very picky but the spa pool was freezing so not very relaxing

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Location was good

Cons: Room was dirty , rusty bathroom fittings , our shower drain stunk foul , we got stuck in the lifts twice ! The spa pool was very cold !

Pros: Lovely well appointed room. The chic decor wouldn’t be my first choice but it had a quality feel and grew on me. Excellent breakfast. Really high quality in a stunning setting. Staff friendly and helpful. Ideal location in central Birmingham, near stations and restaurants.

Cons: Pool a bit small and cold. Could have done with a jacuzzi but I’m nitpicking now!

Pros: Breakfast was amazing! Having a panoramic view of Birmingham put you in a great mood to start the day. Staff were so polite. The place smelled fresh and was really clean - even the lift!! Super that there was access to a spa and pool. Very close to city centre and restaurants/bars by the canal.

Cons: The bed had random dips in it which the duvet matress cover didn't fix.

Pros: Location to shops and bars. Treats in the room over the course of our stay were nice. The breakfast was very, very nice.

Cons: Pool area needs a little TLC other than that everything was good

Cons: Not enough bedding - duvet was too light
