Hotel in zona Argos Small Heath, Birmingham

Il terzo hotel che ho prenotato durante il mio viaggio e l'unico in cui ho fatto il check-in senza problemi. Ci vogliono 15 minuti per raggiungere a piedi la stazione di Xinjie e devi attraversare la strada principale attraverso il passaggio sotterraneo. Il giorno dopo ho scoperto che c'era Chinatown dall'altra parte della strada, ma la zona circostante era relativamente deserta e ci volevano alcuni minuti per andare in un minimarket. Temevo che la stanza fosse piccola, quindi ho prenotato una camera doppia per poter buttare lo zaino. Invece mi è stata assegnata una stanza senza barriere architettoniche, che era molto grande, tuttavia il lavandino del bagno era adattato all'altezza di una sedia a rotelle e c'erano allarmi in ogni angolo, il che era un po' scomodo.

the service was great , however the room itself was very small leaving no room to be able to move around. the bathroom door also had a huge hole cut out as a handle which we thought was odd. also 1 pillow which wasn’t very thick left it so that me and my friend didn’t get much sleep and woke up with pain in our necks . can’t fault the service though , the staff at the reception were lovely

There is so much to unpack here when it comes to Selina Birmingham. Never again am I staying at this hellhole of a hotel. For a name like Selina, the hotel sure is nightmarish to stay at. It's shameful that the hotel shares the same name with my non-biological/cosplay partner. There is no breakfast but at least, the bedding, the pillows and the duvet are comfy (but most likely due to the fact that I’m tired) and the wi-fi is decent. Unfortunately, this is where the compliments stop, especially when the dorm rooms are so dark, you have to turn on the flashlight on your phone in order to see. Not to mention, there is no television in the room I was staying in. To make matters worse, the dorm room is cold, coupled with no heating. I honestly don't mind the cold most of the time but the room temperature is too cold for my liking. Speaking of the ground floor, the Korean receptionist told me that I'm not allowed to eat my food at a table at the cafe and told me to climb the stairs all the way to the third floor in order to eat my food. It isn't fair, considering the receptionist with the short, dark hair tends to allow me to eat my food at a table at the cafe during the very early hours of the morning. I eventually lost my patience and yelled at the Korean receptionist. It's rare when I lose my patience. I threatened in a growly voice with, ”I suggest you fill the pot noodle to the top with water unless you want a scathing, negative review to be blasted on the radio for everyone to hear?”. Finally, she got the memo. The rooms, bathrooms and toilets and facilities are unsanitary (for example, there are biscuit crumbs all over the bed sheets. I didn't know until I got out of bed), the entire hotel itself is not accessibility-friendly as if the lack of a lift and the staff not being accommodating towards disabled people such as myself isn’t of any indication, the kitchen and the kitchen equipment on the third floor are dirty, there is no hot water in some of the bathrooms within the dorm rooms, the bathrooms and the dorm rooms are shared (therefore, there is no privacy), the lights keep turning themselves off if you’re idle (I’m more used to turning on and off the lights on my own accord), you need to pay £10 for a padlock which is complicated for disabled people and the list goes on. The toilets, bathrooms, kitchen etc are just as dirty as Badea Faulkner and Olive Allison Brown from the Avanzar House in Middleton, Manchester not cleaning up after themselves. And don’t get me started on the staff being problematic. They aren’t very useful to the point where I had to shout at them due to their language barriers and them not listening to me, let alone understanding me. This is troubling for autistic people like me. Never in all my years have I encountered such frustrating hotel staff members. Compared to the other hotels I've stayed at in the past, the hotel staff in these hotels were never infuriating. If a lack of staff doesn’t tell you the appalling

Friendly staff with clean rooms.The kitchenette was good together with a fridge and a washing machine. It took 15 minutes walk to the Birmingham New Street Train Station with up and downs along the road. However the hotel was located near the canal and the Central library. Restaurants and bars were easily found close to the hotel. Recommended when the budget is your concern.

The location of the hotel was okay, good nearby links to the train station and attractions. There's no food or drink other than vending machines in the hotel but there is a Sainsbury's local opposite. Bed was comfy and the temperature of the room was controlled. TV was very small and in an awkward position to watch from laying in bed. No hand soap in the dispenser and there was also a leak from the toilet/sink area.

Il personale era gentile e amichevole, la posizione era grande proprio vicino all’arena. Ci fu dato una stanza disabilitata che era grande e sul quarto piano, come ho chiesto un piano basso. Tuttavia, non avevo dormito perché le tende nette non si alzavano e gli avvisati non si tiravano giù. Il colazione era anche piuttosto caotico la mattina dopo, dovete letteralmente fare tutto da soli, ad esempio, fare le vostre bevande calde, tostare il vostro pane. Personalmente preferisco che sia cucinato per ordinare o almeno per loro per portarti una tosta e un caffè, che è quello che mi aspettavo per quasi 150 sterline per la notte. In generale, penso che sia troppo costoso e non mi fermerò di nuovo qui!

Ogni volta si accoglie caldamente a Redwings. Il personale è carino e non può essere più utile. Le camere sono di base ma pulite e confortevoli. L'hotel è circondato da bar e ristoranti e sulla strada principale di autobus verso la città di Birmingham. Perfetto per un breve soggiorno a prezzi ragionevoli.

In tutta onestà, il prezzo dell'hotel non valeva la pena. Ho pagato 185 sterline per la mia stanza per me e il mio partner, ma la stanza era scioccamente sotto il bilancio. La stanza era grande, ma tutto questo era. Il letto era essenzialmente un letto doppio, la stanza era stanca e fusa come se qualcuno avesse usato il bagno prima di entrarci, si poteva sentire tutti fuori dalla stanza e tutti camminare e parlare fuori dall'hotel. Non consiglierei mai a nessuno di pagare più di 80 sterline per la grande stanza.

What a lovely little apartment, home from home. Location was perfect just a short drive to everywhere. There is a convenience store, pharmacy and fast food place 1 minute away so really handy if you forget anything. Everything was perfect host was fast to reply and even gave us early check in 🥰

Really comfortable, staff very friendly. Spa and gym facilities. Breakfast was nice, but had to keep asking to get things topped up. I would definitely stay again
