I've stayed in this Wetherspoons Hotel in central Birmingham several times before and I remain a fan. Book in advance and it can be very good value and cheaper than the indicative price on this site.

You know what you will get with Wetherspoon, reasonable food and well priced quality drinks. The rooms are furnished to an acceptable modern standard.

The room I had on this visit though, 206, I found to be depressing. The only natural light comes from a tiny internal light well and you can't tell when morning has come.

I was pleased to find a good non slip mat in the bath/shower.

Had a great stay at the hotel, reception and staff were helpful an very polite an didn't think twice to help. The only criticism I had was that the bed wasn't as comfortable as I expected, due to it being two singles zipped together I was rather uncomfortable. The pub its self was brill, staff were very attentive and friendly, service was great.

Receptionists were very friendly and helpful, particularly the one who let me store and take my luggage twice with a big smile. Felt very welcomed. Wi-fi was perfect, hotel room was up to standard, good for business stay as ironing board and iron were provided.

Ideal location for city centre break as only a few minutes walk from New Street Station and The Bullring. All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful.
Rooms clean and fresh.
My only complaint would be the lighting in the room - great for everything apart from putting make up on. A woman thing I know :-)

We have stayed in quite a few Wetherspoon hotels now, the experience has always been excellent. We found "The Briar Rose" check in and bar staff very friendly and professional. The room large, clean and well appointed. We would definitely stay again

Room tip: Upper floors maybe a bit quieter
