Premier Inn Birmingham City (Waterloo St)

Great central location easy to find from the station, staff were helpful. Great view of the Cathedral.

The room is not big but just enough for a couple. If the amenities are a bit more to provide would be much better, such as a small fridge.

Really unsatisfied with the cleanliness of the room, there was a huge amount of dust anywhere that I was sneezing continuously. Also, the most disgusting thing were the bedsheets, stained with yellow spots! I asked for a new set of bedsheets and the reception gave them to me and I had to put them on, because there was no one of the cleaning team to do it. Very very very unsatisfied.

The location was excellent, and checking in was smooth. The room, however, was quite small, with a window facing a wall, but that was understandable. That said, there were a few issues that were rather unpleasant: 1. Constant sharp noise from the neighbouring shower Throughout both nights, there was a persistent, sharp noise coming from the shower in the next room. It was very random, turning on and off, and lasted for several minutes at a time. The sound sounded like screaming from the shower room or potentially the boiler, and it woke both of us up multiple times leading to some very bad sleeps. 2. No cleaning service Firstly, upon arrival, there was only one small towel for the two of us and black ink stain on the sheets. Second day for cleaning, we understood that we needed to speak to reception to have the room cleaned, so we did this the following morning. We specifically asked for new towels, left the appropriate label on the door, and even spoke directly with the receptionist, who took note of our request and assured us it would be handled. However, when we returned for shower 10pm that evening, no towels had been changed. We had to put our clothes back on and go downstairs to request fresh towels in person. 3. Check-out time confusion According to trip.com, check-out was at 14:00. However, our room key expired at 12:30, and the receptionist informed us that check-out was at 12:00. When we showed our booking confirmation from trip.com, we were told that the information on third-party platforms doesn’t align with the hotel’s policy. 4. Price discrepancy When we booked via trip.com, we later realised it was £10 more expensive than booking directly through the Premier Inn website. While we didn’t bother to cancel the booking at the time, it’s worth mentioning for future guests—always compare prices on different platforms.

Stayed for one night with my sister in a twin room, room 321. Had booked an early check in but the room wasn't ready when we arrived. The room was very basic and dated, mainly clean but we felt that the cleaning had been rushed as there was soap scum left on the sink. The panel along the bottom of the bath was cracked and sharp. The room was cold when we walked in and we had been advised by the lovely lady on reception that we could ask for an extra heater as the a/c might not heat the room up. It was noisy first thing in the morning because of the bins being emptied. Location was good and the staff were lovely. Breakfast was cold.
