From start to finish nothing was to much trouble for the staff there we have a particular diet and the kitchen team went out of their way to cater for us. Always with a smile and so helpful.

Dear PIYUSH JIGNASHA P., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Birmingham Centre, especially the fact that you felt safe during the ongoing restrictions.

Alan T. Couples - 05/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Really good location with easy access to the wonderfully restored canal network. Hard working, friendly and efficient staff. A special mention must be given to Sunil - wonderful chef/bar man/receptionist - lovely personality & nothing was too much bother. He is a credit to the hotel. Food & service was really good - very large, tasty portions. Rooms are large & clean - we had an executive room - only complaint would be that having a separate toilet from the shower room is a great idea, but you really should have hand washing facilities in the toilet as you currently have to go to the shower room to wash your hands which sort of defeats the purpose. We had a disrupted sleep on our second night - was unable to contact reception to complain as neither of us had WhatsApp on our phones. Only other comment would be the cost of parking - considering what we spent on our stay, £36 parking charge was excessive, especially as we had a Blue Badge holder with us.

Dear ALAN T., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Birmingham Centre. I am really happy to hear that you had a good stay with us and our location suited your needs. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback, especially about our staff. Sunil is one of our most outstanding Team members and I am sure he looked after you. I am sorry that you are not happy with our car park charge. As I am aware we are charging less compared to other secure car parks around the Birmingham City Centre. With the number given on our What`s App card, you can always call from your phone as well, so there is no need to download the app. We advertise it as an easy to use and free option to our guests. I will hare your comments about the separate bath and toilet with our Manager. We hope we will see you again in the near future for a better stay with us! Sincerely, Temenuzhka Trayanova

I enjoyed my stay but would properly use a different hotel if I stay in Birmingham again.

Dear Paul N., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Birmingham Centre. I am sorry to hear that you had some negative comments for your stay. We are all doing our best to ensure the restrictions around the hotel are followed, but we have many occasions when the guests have mask exemption. In that cases, we need to agree with their needs. I am sorry that this created bad impression for you. In terms of the Wi-Fi, we have wireless Internet connection that can be publicly used by our guests but we have never had any issues with its safety and security. I am happy that you were looked after by our hard-working staff. It is always pleasure to receive positive feedback for that. We hope we will see you again for a better stay with us! Sincerely, Temenuzhka Trayanova

Nice staff. Room Upgrade to executive room possibly consolidating their customers because there were not many of us. But coffee machine and fridge not powers and no cups. The £18 garage charge was a bit steep for overnight.

Dear TIM O., Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback, especially about our hard-working staff. I am really happy to hear that you enjoyed your free upgrade to executive room. I am sorry that you had no cups in the room. Our reception staff is available 24/7 and is always there to assist you with anything. Please mind that we are currently only using the take-away cups in our bedrooms. I believe you had those. I will share your comments with our team to ensure our improvement! We hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Temenuzhka Trayanova

A B. Couples - 23/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

I stayed using a voucher from a cancellation from last year during COVID. I did want to use it at another Novotel but was informed I could only use it at the original hotel that had been booked ! Very strange since I would have thought it would have been available to use over the group as I had booked on the Accor website not direct with the hotel. We had a really good stay, but the property is not as good as its sister properties in Manchester or Leeds. the room felt slightly dated, but still very comfortable and very clean. Coffee machine was old and did not work first go, but did manage to get it working. Fridge was not switched on, but I can understand why as it had a very bright light that would light up the room during the night. Breakfast was pre ordered due to COVID and was tasty and fresh, though the carton of milk was not fresh milk.

Dear ALLAN B., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Birmingham Centre. I can confirm that the vouchers issued need to be used at the same property and I believe you can find all this information in the Terms and Conditions of the voucher issue. I am really happy to hear that you had a great breakfast and a comfortable stay, even though you had bigger expectations for the room. I am very happy to know that some of our sister hotels had their renovation done and we are all hoping that we will do that as well in the near future. It is great to know that the room was clean, especially when we are working very hard in ensuring that all the restrictions are followed. The coffee machines we provide in the Executive rooms were renewed not long ago and normally needs to be put on before use. We also always have a team member available to help with any requests. We hope we will see you again in the near future for a better stay with us! Sincerely, Temenuzhka Trayanova

Simon Couples - 21/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We drove to the hotel and it was very difficult to get too because of the roadworks. The directions weren't great and we didn't know about the issue until we phoned up for help, i.e. we never received any email in advance to update. We apparently had a room upgrade but it looked similar to standard rooms in other hotels. The heating was terrible and didn't work throughout our stay, i.e. it stayed on cold all the way through. In fairness, we were offered a room change on the second day and I got half price parking. Overall not bag but not great either

Dear SIMON M., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Birmingham Centre. I am sorry to hear that you thought the rate is too high and could have booked for cheaper. Please be aware that you had cheaper offer booked in advance and I do not think that the £60.00 rate has been for the same date. I wish you could tell us about that and the heating in the room, so we could had that fixed for you. We are doing our very best to easy the access to our property by car and I hope that very shortly everything will go back to normal. I am still happy that your stay was good and we all thank you for the nice review. I will share your comments with our team. We hope we can see you in the near future for a better stay! Sincerely, Temenuzhka Trayanova

We had the best night in Novotel Birmingham Centre. Clean, spacious, clear guidelines on covid restrictions. Excellent customer service.. You won my daughter over with the popcorn! Brilliant location. Excellent parking services. Would definitely recommend and will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Birmingham.

Dear ANNA S., Thank you so much for taking the time to share your great experience with us! It was pleasure reading your lovely comments about our staff and your bedroom, and your stay in general. We really appreciate that you have pointed the restrictions and signs we have placed to keep everyone safe. We hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one.

Road works and constant drilling

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

EggsBenedict62 14/03/2020 TripAdvisor review

Getting to the hotel by car was a nightmare as large parts of Broad Street are closed with roadworks to install a new tram system. While this isn’t the fault of the hotel it would have been helpful if an email with clear directions had been sent out after booking as the diversion signs are useless. When w3 arrived at the hotel there was a sign in reception warning guests that new TVs were being installed and that there may be occasional drilling noises between 9.00 and 17.00. The drilling was constant and was accompanied by loud hammering noises (presumably when rawlplugs were being hammered into the newly drilled walls. The drilling was still going on at 17.30 when we left our room. If we had known in advance that significant work was going on in the hotel we would probably have booked somewhere different.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at the Novotel. I can assure you that we take our guest's comments very seriously as we strive to continuously improve the service of the hotel. Please accept my apologies for the noise due to the maintenance works being carried out in the hotel which will end by 26th March. However, I will address your comments with the relevant departments and can assure you that constructive action will be taken to minimise the noise and that it finishes at 17:00 sharply. Moreover, I would suggest to always check road works on your route and local travel restrictions before starting your journey. Once again please accept my sincere apology and I do hope we have the opportunity to better serve you on your return to Birmingham. Kind regards,

Not the best Novotel

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

exiledmackem 04/03/2020 TripAdvisor review

We have stayed in 3 Novotels in six weeks, this one came 3rd! Poorly staffed, although the staff were extremely pleasant, there just wasn't enough to deal with the crowds. Apparently, they were not aware of a concert that was in the major venue 10 minutes walk from the hotel! Not the greatest breakfast either, there wasn't much fresh fruit, the serving area was small and cramped and only one drinks machine. We had an Executive Room which needed updating. The bathroom was lovely but the separate toilet was scary! It was like sitting in a prison toilet! The hotel was brilliantly situated. For that reason, I would probably stay again if visiting Birmingham.

Thank you for the feedback. I am delighted that my team made your stay enjoyable. However, I have noted your comment about the staffing level and communication about the concert and will rectify straight away. Your comments about the breakfast and separate toilet will be forwarded to our concerned department to take further action and improve the quality levels. I am glad you made the most of the location and the area around the hotel. We hope to welcome you back in Novotel soon.

64kdc1 Business - 05/02/2020 TripAdvisor review

I have stayed here a couple of times, but wouldn't put it on my list of favourites. The front desk service is very polite, the rooms were clean and well appointed and there is an underground car park. The "upgrade" to a superior room is not worth the price - unless you desperately need a dressing gown and coffee pod machine for the night. The rooms all appear to be the same size - small. The restaurant is impersonal - I've been in better Ibis facilities - and the bar is no better. Again, the service was good, but the hotel does not feel inviting. I should also add that the car park only has stair access, so tough luck if you are disabled or have heavy luggage. Even if the lift did go down to the basement there is a 6" to 8" step between the car park and the stairwell. To cap it all, 2 weeks later I am still waiting for them to provide me with correct invoices.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore, your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. Moreover, there is a phone in the car park and you can always call us for luggage assistance. Please call us anytime on 01216199002 and we are more than welcome to send your invoice by email. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely,

OK hotel with ok price, good location
