Norfolk Hotel Birmingham

The Norfolk Hotel is not a Hotel but a doss house! The staff are un-helpful, and the rooms are disgusting! How this hotel can class itself as a 3* is beyond me! In our room, the furniture was falling in bits. There were holes in the sheets, mold, thick dust and cobwebs everywhere. The carpet was full of stains, one of the lights were smashed. Exposed gas pipes. Our so called tea and coffee facilities consisted of three odd mugs with cracks and stains on them, no teaspoons, kettle didn't work. Room smelt of urine and vomit. The photos on the website we used are nothing like the actual hotel!! Horrible!!

broken bed,broken window.dirty room..unfriendly staff..

1st room had a broken bed and wires hanging from the bathroom ceiling. I had to argue with the recptionist to give me another room i got another room to my amazment it was worse then the first it had a dirty shower and wash basin, a table on top of the watdrobe, doodles all over the walls, uncovered wires on the ceiling and the heating did not work. After complaining a second time i did not get a room change but was told by the receptionist that they do not get anything out of me bein happy or annoyed with the hotel and i should just take the electric heater

Avoid this hotel i know it's cheap but it is horrendous i have stayed in many hotels and never said a bad word but this hotel is disgusting, firstly arrived got to my room which looked like something from steptoe and son with dirty bed sheets on the single bed stained carpets and ripped furniture i managed to get moved to another room with clean linen but it was still awful ripped sheets, brokend furniture. The communual areas are tatty this place just really needs to be shut down. in summary AVOID

Paid £23 for a room on New Years Eve, hotel was only 5-10 minute drive from Broad Street (B'ham) so perfect location for the nightlife. Room was clean, bathroom looked newly refurbished. Couldn't ask for anything else really for the price! Would return!

As an independent single woman I thought the hotel was a disaster. Tv did not work, Bed was dirty, Bathroom had been refurbished, but overall not a good experience.

Good value for money, the room had everything you would need for a short weekend break. Parts of the hotel need a bit of TLC and the decor is a bit dated, the room itself was comfortable. For the price, no complaints.

This hotel is cheap for a reason, the staff were rude people banging about in the night. Room was clean but needed serious upgrade. Never stop here!

Staff were polite&friendly but hotel is in bad need of a refurb...the rooms are clean but desperately need updating..however good location for birmingham and free parking.

This hotel has improved greatly in the year since I last stayed there, with redecorated foyer and bar. The renovation will in time extend to all the rooms. Also the standard of cleanliness has improved markedly - I now rate it 'average' but before it would have been 'bad'. It clearly was once a good hotel but the tide of fashion has moved into central Birmingham leaving the Norfolk and other hotels along Hagley Road behind. It offers good value, a filling full English breakfast, friendly service, and a bus stop right out the front for direct access to city centre locations. And the new owners are committed to raising standards.
