“I had a lovely 2 night stay to visit the Christmas markets. Everything was perfect, a lovely room, smart, quiet, with friendly staff and in a great location surrounded by bars, restaurants and shops.
Some reviews complained about only 1 lift working, that it was noisy at night, no food being served late etc but none of these things were an issue. Perhaps the only negative I’d list is the expensive parking as you have to use the Mailbox carpark with 15% discount. At least there are plenty of spaces though and it felt very safe.”

“The rooms are decent size. However, what makes this an excellent hotel is the front desk and bar girls/boys. Some of the friendliest personnel you will come across in hospitality in Europe. And, if you are in Birmingham, nothing beats AC Hotel's location.”

Basic enough room. Clean but smelled of bleach. Drains smelled in the evening. Draft coming through window vent. Very noisy in room due to noise coming in drafty window vent and noise from other rooms. Not a restful night sleep. Bed comfortable. Shower good.

Unplanned trip and escape destination after a nightmare Christmas with family (think we all know what that feels like)
Spent 1 week here.
This hotel is in a brilliant part of town. Great places around. Clean, big, spacious, comfortable, friendly.
We would definitely stay here again, for the next family escape :)

Great location and clean rooms
However few points to note:
* Fridge was unplugged from mains when checked in. When plugged in noticed a noise that got progressively worse. Staff must of been aware as why would they leave it unplugged. They should of fixed the issue when getting room ready.
* Google cast doesn't work on TV (tried with 4 different devices)
* Shower water pressure very weak. Suggest getting this looked at too.
* Only 1 working lift, terribly slow. Suggest making this a priority to fix.
I didn't bother to highlight these issues during stay since was only there 2 nights.
Also disappointed that we were told that we couldn't get the 15% discount from the Q-Park car park as we signed up to their app (for ease of entrance/exit which is linked to my credit card so payment is automated). Easily fixed by taking the amount off hotel bill.. staff should know how to process this.
Overall pleasant stay as enjoyed the location and room was clean.

We arrived at this hotel and despite the high cost of the room were extremely disappointed with the amenities in the room. The pillows were blood stained and other dubious stains on the bed linen...
