Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Located in the High Street, which is convenient, and we were not troubled by noise at all. The greeting and service from Mark could not have been friendlier, and the locals in the bar were very affable. A fascinating, quirky building which is being upgraded and improved - the rooftop sun terrace is very pleasant. No hotel car park but street parking outside & a public car park are free. We ate at the excellent Kenyan/Fusion Restaurant and wished we were staying longer to sample more dishes. The Thai Restaurant at the back was full of apparently happy customers. We would happily stay here again.

Charming - staying regular
Lovely room, great hotel, so friendly, so surprised to be given a free double upgrade! Oh and the food, amazing fusion goat curry! Certainly staying again as a half stop from home in North Wales to work in London. Nice speckled hen ale. Looking forward to them offering breakfast!

Decent stay for decent price
Very handy considering I had last minute trip to Swindon and didn't fancy the drive back to Birmingham at that time of night. Food was excellent and came quickly. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overwhelming smell of paint didn't make for a great night's sleep but that would just be my luck that night. Overall I'd recommend this place though
