Travelodge Birmingham Central 230 Broad Street, Birmingham B15 1AY

"I was in room 717. Hot water tap fell off, but that didn't matter because there was no hot water. No one says anything, you need to go and ask - was told they don't know when it would be fixed. I don't normally write reviews but I needed to here. Curtains don't close properly, so the always-on lights of the adjacent hotel provided an extra challenge getting to sleep - I thought I might get a sunburn with all the light coming into the room. Lastly, the hours sleep I did get was short lived! There is a nightclub right downstairs so when I danced myself awake, I couldn't get back to sleep. Its so loud, you can make out the lyrics. I was on the 7th floor! Absolute bangers though, fair play to the club - I'm sure everyone enjoyed their night, but I didn't. If you want to sleep, don't come here. Absolutely avoid at all costs."

"Looking rather shabby nowadays, definitely needs a tidy up. Only 2 lifts to service the hotel. Ideal as a base for a night on the town. Make sure when you request extra pillows that you wait and take them upstairs to your room straight away. We asked for ours at 7pm, my partner went back to the room and asked again at around 8pm. When we got back to our room at 1245 they weren't there so another trip to reception waited approx 20min for housekeeping to come to the room"

"Staff were brilliant. Rooms are spacious and clean if a little tired. The location is very central, even more so now that the metro extension to Edgbaston is open. That central location, combined with a very old building does mean that it is quite noisy, even in the rooms at the back of the building. It is relatively cheap though!"

"We booked here as it's very close to Symphony Hall where we were going to a concert and within walking distance of New Street Station. The receptionist had put us on the 8th floor where it was meant to be quieter but she put us in room 801, RIGHT next to the lift mechanism on the top floor! We didn't sleep a wink, the lift was constant, like water torture! Between that, the bottles emptying into bins at the end of the night down on the street and nightclub goers shrieking and shouting, it was the worst night we've ever had in a hotel. However, the manager moved us to the 4th floor when I asked the next morning, and I slept like a log the second night! My partner didn't though, for my snoring!! The rooms are spotless, the staff are lovely. It's a very popular area for clubs and pubs, so the noise outside was through no fault of the hotel. I don't suppose any of the staff has noticed the sound of the mechanism of the lifts, so I don't blame them at all. But please, leave room 801 empty, make it into a laundry room! Just don't put folk in there who need a quiet night!"

"Top staff who sorted us out big time. I recommend this hotel for staying in brum especially if you want to be close to the nightlife! We saw Kendrick Lamar and they were brilliant late at night too!"
