My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although spacious and clean, needed updating. The staff was friendly and informative overall, but the housekeeping services were disruptive early in the morning. The location in a pretty residential area with free parking was convenient, but the absence of alcohol in the vicinity was a downside. The dining experience varied from lukewarm to ornately presented dishes, offering mixed feelings. The facilities were decent, but some areas needed improvement for a more pleasant stay.

The hotel is a solid choice for business trips and visits to Cadbury World. The rooms, though lacking atmosphere and a bit tired, are impeccably clean. The service was excellent, with the Night Porter standing out as a star. The location in lovely Bournville is great for those attending training courses and within walking distance of Cadbury World. The dining experience left something to be desired, but the homemade rolls were a nice touch.

The hotel had a beautiful layout, just like a little bungalow. However, the room smelled of cigarette smoke and had a shelf for a bed. The service was mostly excellent except for one staff member who was not very attentive. The location was good, handy for Cadbury World, but a bit awkward to get to by car. The dining experience was excellent, with a good choice of dishes, but only available at specific hours. The facilities were good overall.

The hotel is situated in a lovely, quiet area in Bournville, surrounded by greenery and close to local cafes. The rooms had a basic, old-fashioned student accommodation feel to them, but the service from the bar, waiting, and cleaning staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The location is ideal for those wanting a peaceful setting, though it lacked alcohol options due to the village's regulations. The dining experience offered good, cooked-to-order meals but was somewhat lacking in fruit options. Overall, a decent value for money stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is conveniently located in Bournville, ideal for visiting the University of Birmingham. The rooms, despite being on the upper floors without a lift, are lovely, clean, and well-kept. The friendly service adds to the overall positive experience, with minor hiccups in the bar service. The hotel's location is great for those with a car, offering a quiet retreat but may not be as convenient for solo travelers relying on public transport. The dining experience, including breakfast, stands out for its quality and variety. The hotel facilities, including a nice grassed area, offer a comfortable stay within walking distance of nearby venues.

My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable. The rooms were much better this time, offering more space and a good standard of decor. However, being at the far end made it a bit inconvenient for quick access to dining and reception. The staff provided excellent service, although there was one young bar staff member who seemed a bit preoccupied. The location was great for the function I attended, and the lounge space was perfect for meeting friends. The dining experience was fabulous with fresh and varied options.

The hotel was located in a convenient area, with a lovely, quiet setting close to the University of Birmingham. However, the room setup was challenging with narrow corridors and cold, small rooms. The breakfast was underwhelming with limited options and small plates being served.
