Birmingham Central Backpackers in Birmingham … nice hostel. walking distance from digbeth coach station. Tom, Kath, and Boss Ian are too good people to extend help. breakfast is good, night dinner is always there to protect your belly. kitchen is open twenty-four hours for you to cook your personal taste.
Birmingham Central Backpackers in Birmingham … I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff are amazing and very helpful. They helped us plan our trip around the U.K. to see a mix of tourist cities and some of those places that many people miss and also helped me look for apartments in Leeds as I am moving for college this Sept. And we really enjoyed those. The hostel offers services past when you leave. Any help you just have to email or phone and they are happy to help. The hostel has perhaps the best common room I have seen. Very bright and lots to do. Its nice they do not take the money and not bother about guest when they arrive. The common room has a large movie screen like a cinema, and hundreds of movies to pick. You get popcorn also. They have a bar with beers from all over the world, some are not cheap though but your regular euro beers are. They sell snacks and hot drinks also. The other part of the hostel has reading books, a nintendo wii, playstaytion 3 and I think they had an xbox. Also a pool table. They do quiz…
The Merry Maid in Birmingham … This is a great hostel. They have almost everything you would wish for. The location is not in the best part of Birmingham but it is only a few minutes to the city centre and safe. There is a kitchen for guests use, a nice common room where you can relax, watch a movie, or use your laptop. They offer free internet access and wireless. The staff are amazing. You feel like you are at home with your family.
Birmingham Central Backpackers in Birmingham … Fantastic hostel -- dinner provided; large movie screen with heaps of movies, wii, xbox 360 to help pass the time in the common room. Staff are very helpful and there is plenty of information provided. Showers and toilets are above average, and the beds were fine. But the location isn't so great -- the second building is a four-minute walk from the main building (common room, breakfast, reception), and both buildings are located in an industrial area about fifteen minutes' walk from the centre of birmingham.
The Merry Maid in Birmingham … I did not find this hostel to be very nice. The hostel was very dirty -- it looked like the beds had not been changed in weeks. It had no common room, so nothing to do. It did have a kitchen -- again, not clean a weeks worth of dishes. The write up on here is not very true and the pictures look nothing like it. It does not have the nice colors that they show in the picture. It is not even Birmingham Backpackers, Birmingham Backpackers is located next to the Coach station is Dig Beth so that is strange. It does not seem to have any staff, the person that checked me in I never saw again. It also doubles up as a homeless hostel by the looks of things. Overall I would give this place a miss, stay at the hostel in the city centre or a budget hotel.
Park Hotel Birmingham in Birmingham … Wonderful. Clean and fresh throughout. It's very handy for the greyhound stadium. Staff very friendly and welcoming; they couldn't do enough to help. Highly recommended.
Park Hotel Birmingham in Birmingham … For those of moderate means and willing to make a short trip by train or bus to the city center, I highly recommend this hotel. I generally have a critical eye, and my stay had only a few glitches.
The service is friendly, professional, and helpful. The building is well cared for and the breakfasts are quite good. Although the walk along the busy thoroughfare to local establishments can be a little tiring, the One-Stop Shopping Center offers a variety of goods and services, the Greyhound Track provides solid entertainment, and the Boar's Head Pub, about a 10-minute walk away, serves good food in a comfortable atmosphere.
A good stay in Birmingham.
Central Guesthouse in Birmingham … Very comfortable, an enjoyable and friendly stay.
Awentsbury Hotel in Birmingham … Horrible service. The owners don't like you using the phone. They told those that called me that I wasn't in. They only have two lines coming in, which they also use for personal use. Food is purchased from the local Aldi — it's not that great. Decor is ok. It is a family-run business, which makes you want to support it — but I wish the service and attitude were better.
