I booked the Thistle Brimingham City for myself and my Girlfriend as we were in the city to see a show at the NIA. I had slight concerns about the hotel before arriving, however most prooved unfounded after arrival. The hotel looks poor from the outside however is very well furnished inside, Rooms are pleasently decorated however there are a... more

Stayed for a week from 6 September 2009 while on business in Birmingham. Comfortable and clean room, good food and freindly helpful staff. I would happily stay here again next time I'm in the city. more

Hotel is sited just off the major Birmingham ring road which was big enough to host the Grand Prix a few years ago, and to us it sounded at night as though it was still going on! The bedroom window did not close properly and the double glazing was too thin, the door to the bathroom/toilet would not close and... more

Double bed was VERY small, to the point where two pillows didn't fit next to each other on the bed. On check-out we were told it was a "small double", but looked more of a glorified single room to us, with only one bedside unit and light in the room. Constant hum of traffic wasn't ideal, but tolerable. more

Thank God I was only at Thistle Birmingham City for just the one night, it wasn't right for me at all. I arrived at night and got a taxi from Digbeth Coach Station... definitely not a journey to be done on foot. Also, the hotel isn't in the easiest location to find if you aren't familiar with the city. It's... more

Stayed here recently while visiting friends in Birmingham, very impressed with Hotel from start to finish. Everyone was very friendly, efficent and everywhere was spotless, no reasons to complain at all. Would definatley recommend staying here if visiting the city. more

Stayed for just the one night, room was clean, not a massive room but fine as I did not spend much time in there. As meantioned on other reviews, the half price breakfast is still being offered when checking in. I found that on decaf coffee in my room, but they were quick to deliver some normal coffee. Also as... more

A colleague and I stayed in two "standard single" rooms on the fourth floor which were, as mentioned in other reviews, a tad on the small side, but perfectly adequate for a person staying alone in the room. Bed and mattress were really comfortable - which is the main thing in my book! We had rooms at the back which... more

A group of 10 of us have just returned from a long weekend in Birmingham staying at the Thistle. The room was clean and nicely decorated, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is superb! The hotel is also situated in an excellent location, definately recommended! more
