Amazingly Surprised
The Hotel was absolutely fantastic. Staff were happy, everything was very clean, and room was spacious with a wide panoramic window. Food was a little bit on the expensive side, but the bar menu provided for a cheaper alternative. Price wise you can't go wrong, fantastic value for money as I simply couldn't of gotten a better value hotel. A Taxi into the City centre is around £6, so do budget for that though.

Value for Money
Surprisingly quiet for a university campus at the weekend. The beds were very firm and the room a little too warm but for the money we paid, we were happy with our choice. The standard is slightly better than a Travel Lodge and the breakfast included in the rate made this value for money. I would consider this again if I was visiting Birmingham and needed a bed for the night at a good price.

Reminds me of College
As the arrangements were made for me, I wasn't sure what to expect. The conference center itself was good - food available inside, a lounge for watching football or having a drink, and near to town. However, the surround city was not the best. Construction/renovation is going on - so I'm sure the area will be up and coming soon. The rooms were a great deal for the price, but a bit on the small side. More like a dorm room than a hotel. But if that is what you needed (a bed, a shower, a desk, wireless internet) - it was excellent. Always clean, and nicely supplied with towels (extra large!), soaps, tea, biscuits, etc. I would recommend this - more for the younger crowd, and not as a romantic get-a-way to Birmingham, UK.

Short walk from hotel
Fish-n-chips or battered sausages are the best at Johnny's Fish-N-Chips Bar on Corporate Street. Just a short walk.

Excellent value - but train your staff
Book a superior room - it's worth is and still very cheap often. Breakfast is very average, wouldn't pay for it but rather go to one of the nearby eateries - actually inside the univeristy building (hotel is on Aston University campus) English breakfast is served at a much more reasonable rate and less stale. Free use of university pool and gym across the road is great. Free wifi everywhere. Very quiet during the night, as the road is a cul-de-sac. Staff friendliness and service attitude is largely very mediocre, I've doubts that the staff employed has actually been trained in a hotel. This is something Aston should look at. Overall I recommend this place.

Daughter's Graduation
We needed a hotel close to Aston University and this was a perfect location. Hotel is comfortable and the staff were very helpful and attentive. We had two rooms - one was more modern than the other but both were comfortable. Overall we were very pleased with our stay.

Awesome Time
Booked this venue due to the location and cost and was completely blown away by it ! From the minute we actually arrived it was apparent that it was the best choice ! From the welcome from the team, to the condition and facilities in the room, plus it's location. All in all contributed to a brilliant time. The beds were comfy, the temp in the room was great, the bathroom was state of the art. Even the tea making facilities surpassed expectations. Thank you for a wonderful time. Will definitely be back
