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,

Scott M. Business - 13/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Great welcome in to the hotel, clean and modern. My room was rather dated and could of done with some TLC, carpets up in the corners and walls could do with some freshening up. Simply cosmetic work that could upgrade, staff were excellent and location perfect for commuting.

Thank you for your review. We are very pleased to read your comments with regards to the location of the hotel and excellent staff. Thank you also for the feedback with regards to the room. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future, kind regards, Lisa Hawkins, Guest Services Manager.

Drilling from 9am-5pm

Customer review rating 2.5/5

Lisa Business - 12/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Unfortunately this was not a good stay, I wasn’t informed until my arrival that new TV’s were being installed and that drilling would take place from 9am-5pm each day. Had I known this I would have stayed somewhere else as I got no work done and couldn’t even rest after a long journey due to the noise. I was very unhappy that no compensation was offered for the discruption and I paid full price for a disrupted stay I would have avoided if I’d known.

It was okay. The room was very std but warm. You asked if I wanted anything extra for my booking and I requested an extra blanket which I didn’t get. Fortunately I carry around my own little extra. The room temp was also reasonable.

Good Breakfast, helpful staff, slightly dated room decor, but the major plus of this over other hotels is that it has two doors between the corridor and the bedroom, meaning your sleep is not disturbed by noisy guests or lifts.

We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Birmingham Centre. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I am delighted to know that my team made your stay memorable and you enjoyed the breakfast. I will share your comments with our team.

Please do visit us again soon as we are installing new 49 Inch televisions in all our bedrooms by the end of next week. Sincerely, Arif Khan - Front Office Manager

Joanna Business - 09/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Never stayed at a Novotel before. I was delivering a workshop there for two days so thought I'd stay and check it out. A great hotel, great and attentive staff. Beautiful healthy food options and a Starbucks :) My room was lovely (apart from a whiffy shower curtain). I asked for a quiet room owing to the roadworks nearby and never heard a thing. Booked again for May and June as delivering again!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent visit. We are delighted to read that you enjoyed your experience at that your event went well, I will be sure to share youtr feedback with the team. We look forward to welcoming you back in May, best wishes, Lisa Hawkins, Guest Services Manager.

Clogged shower

Customer review rating 2.5/5

C. O. Business - 09/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was clean but hallways and layout was dated. The water level in the shower rose when trying to adjust the water temperature, and took some time to drain. When showering, the water once again rose to beyond my ankles. This was very uncomfortable for me and I had to wash my feet in the sink after.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. Feedback is extremely important to the hotel as through it we can ensure we are delivering the level of service our guests expect. Please be rest assured that i have shared your feedback with regards to the drainage in the bathroom with our Maintenance Managerto further look into and action. I do hope we have the opportunity to better serve you should your travels bring you back to Birmingham. Best wishes, Lisa Hawkins, Guest Services Manager.

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,
