The hotel is clean and provides an OK stay, staff are really friendly and helpful. Sadly some areas in the rooms are looking tired. the rooms are still warm even with the air flow. having the windows open means you get lots of street noise. There are fans available from reception which is helpful, but this isnt advertised.

The room was appropriate to the cost, we had a double with sofa bed, as it was just 2 of us the sofa was left for use as a sofa which was great for us. We had a poor nights sleep due to noise outside and inside of the hotel until approx 5 am. Whilst not exactly the hotels fault it still meant we had a very poor nights sleep. Other guests shouting, arguing, slamming doors etc. check out was 12pm which we thought was great, we went out for breakfast at 9 and came back at 10:30 to find our room had been made up for the next guests despite us having not checked up - sofa bed was up fresh towels etc. this made us feel like we had to just leave although we had planned to shower before travelling home.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I appreciate your feedback regarding the noise disturbances you encountered during your stay. While we strive to create a peaceful environment for our guests, I understand how disruptive noise from other guests can be to your overall comfort. I also acknowledge your concerns about the timing of your room servicing. Our housekeeping team usually aims to have rooms prepared for new guests after check-out; however, I recognize that this can sometimes lead to discomfort for those still occupying the room. Your comments will be taken into consideration as we review our procedures to enhance the guest experience. I am glad to hear that you found the room satisfactory and appreciated the late check-out time. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback, and I hope that you will consider staying with us in the future. Warm Regards, Harpreet Sian General Manager

Rooms are basic but nice, no air con and some of the lights didn’t work. Mini fridge was a good addition. Hotel is nice food was good, although expensive and you have to pay to park which was £18 for 24hours. Good location lots of bars and restaurants close by. I would stay again.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the hotel, food, location and the convenience of the mini fridge, and that you would stay with us again. We’re sorry about the lighting issues and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please note that our rooms are equipped with an air-cooling system rather than air conditioning. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit! Warm Regards, Harpreet Sian General Manager

On arrival we didn't feel welcomed just suspected of over occupancy. On entry to room overwhelmed with heat and smell of smoke which only got worse over time because the thermostat didn't work, we did not report this until checkout due to the unwelcoming arrival we experienced.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies that your experience did not meet the standard we aim to provide. I am particularly sorry to hear about the temperature in your room and the issue with the thermostat. Had our team been made aware of this during your stay, we would have been more than happy to assist you immediately and investigate the issue or provide an alternative solution where possible. I am sorry that this was not reported to us at the time, as we would have liked the opportunity to make your stay more comfortable. Regarding your arrival experience, we have looked into this further following your comments. We completely understand how the question may have made you feel unwelcome, and we are sorry if this was the impression created. However, as the reservation had originally been made for two adults and three adults arrived at check-in, my colleague was simply carrying out the necessary check-in procedure by confirming the number of guests staying in the room. This is important information for us to establish upon arrival, particularly in relation to the occupancy of the room. Please be assured that there was absolutely no intention to offend, question or make you feel uncomfortable, and we are sorry that the interaction left you with this impression. We appreciate your positive comments regarding our location and the comfort of the bed, and we hope that, should you choose to stay with us again, we will have the opportunity to provide you with the warm and welcoming experience you should have received. Kind regards, George Front Office Manager Novotel Birmingham Centre

Deri H. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Excellent location, ideal for access to Brindley place and the canalside in particular. Breakfast was fantastic, excellent quality, very well done. However... The executive rooms were very tired in both bedroom and bathrooms areas. Robes were missing and light bulb broken, but these were quickly addressed once reported. Unfortunately, the one thing that dominated my experience was simply the temperature in the room... Air cooling (not air conditioning) was completely ineffective, and despite the window being open ajar (as far as safety cable would allow) and am additional desk fan provided by maintenance, it was simply unbearable throughout the night. Very uncomfortable, and I can only imagine what it must be like in mid-summer! Bearing in mind it was a cool 12 degrees outside, the room must have been in the high 20s! I don't usually moan, and I'm sorry to do so on this occasion, but it was particularly bad! Hoping it was a one-off bad experience for us, and that other rooms were more comfortable.

Dear Deri H., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Novotel Birmingham Centre. We genuinely appreciate your kind words about our prime location and the quality of our breakfast offerings. It is always rewarding to hear that our guests enjoy these aspects of their experience. I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for the discomfort you encountered during your stay, particularly concerning the temperature in your room. We recognize how essential a comfortable environment is for our guests' overall experience, and it is regrettable that our air cooling system did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the condition of the executive rooms have been duly noted, and I assure you that we continuously strive to enhance our facilities for the comfort of our guests. It is encouraging to hear that our team was able to address the missing robes and the broken light bulb promptly. However, I understand that these issues should not have occurred in the first place. We are committed to maintaining high standards in our accommodation, and your insights play a vital role in our improvement efforts. We hope that you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable stay in the future. Thank you once again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best.

Deborah M. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

On arrival the sofa bed wasn’t made up, it was made up very quickly but seeing as I had emailed ahead of the stay to make sure the hotel were clear on how many of us were in the room, not ideal. The email I received back said that was fine, however, no sofa bed made. Breakfast next morning was fine with no problems, second morning (busy room) not fine, I was questioned, there was a problem, questions if I’d paid for the extra breakfast. All a bit embarrassingly done in front of other guests. In happy to pay for what I use but this just wasn’t great. In the end the manager did sort it and did apologise but I’d have preferred to have been quietly consulted about payment if it hadn’t been organised on the bill. I did pay on arrival and three of us had obviously arrived together. The restaurant manager - really pleasant and kind - apologised when he didn’t need to but just lovely and I’d like to thank him. The hotel is noisy - it’s on a Main Street but the fellow guests did bang and crash and hammer on doors in the middle of the night. I live Novotels in general and I’ve previously not had a problem. But this one, not for me.

Dear Deborah M., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Novotel Birmingham Centre. I sincerely apologize for the miscommunication you experienced upon your arrival, particularly concerning the preparation of the sofa bed in your room. It is our standard procedure to ensure that accommodations are set up according to our guests' needs, and I regret that we fell short in this instance despite your prior communication. I appreciate your understanding regarding the breakfast situation on your second morning. It is our aim to provide a seamless dining experience, and I am sorry to hear that there was confusion regarding your payment status. Your feedback about the manner in which this was addressed is invaluable, and I will ensure that our team is reminded of the importance of maintaining discretion and professionalism in such situations. I am pleased to hear that our restaurant manager was able to assist and provide a positive interaction during your visit. Regarding the noise issues you encountered, I understand how disruptive this can be to a restful stay. While our location does have its advantages in terms of accessibility, we strive to manage noise levels within the hotel. I appreciate your feedback on this matter, and I assure you it will be taken into consideration as we continue to enhance our guests' experiences. I am delighted to learn that you enjoy Novotel hotels in general, and I hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide you with the high-quality experience you have come to expect from our brand.

Staff excellent. One room had item of clothing under the bed, towels were not fresh, dirty glass outside room door. We had to move rooms. Restaurant menu is almost devoid of gluten free options which meant we had to go out to eat. Coeliac is a disease - veganism is a lifestyle choice. Please Consider this.

Dear M K., Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience at our hotel. I am pleased to hear that our staff made a positive impression. However, I sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered and the limited gluten-free options available in our restaurant. We value all dietary needs and appreciate your insights, which will be taken into consideration for future menu adjustments.
