Horror experience.
I would not recommend this Hotel under any circumstances unless you don't mind staying in a hotel with streaming damp, paper hanging off the walls, surly staff, watching some rather unsavoury guests drinking in the car park at 8am, being disturbed by 'hoodies' in the night making noise!
It really was that bad. We were told we had to pay for a breakfast when it was already paid for.
We have stayed at this hotel in the near past and it is a real shame to see it go down the tubes as it has.
They will not get another penny out of me, sorry Norfolk I just don't know how you dare charge,

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL
Dirty, Poorly kept hotel. Woken every morning by loud banging and drilling. Hotel looked so dirty I didn't want to touch anything. Staff were un-helpful and rude and the customer service was some of the worst I've ever encountered.

Never stay at this "Hotel" ever!!!
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!!

Unclean
We booked in were directed to the lift, the corridors were filthy with wall paper falling off the walls the carpets were patched with tape which was pealing away and dangerous. On entering the room we found that the curtain was just hanging and could not be drawn, the ensuite was in a cupboard and grimy with mould - we simply walked out and left the hotel we could not spend a night there

Diabolical stay appalled by the staff and hotel no stars deserved
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

Good, Cheap Room for the Night
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.

Cheap weekend away
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.

Will never ever go again!
Will never go back to that hotel!
It was cold the whole time. The electricity used to come and go after every 5 min. When we complained no body bothered to change our room, the water was cold, the kettle wasn't working! It was a worst experience ever.

Good value for the single room single night charge!
Nice hotel, very helpful reception staff. The room was very cold when i woke up, but i didnt contact anyone at reception so I can't complain.
Generally a good hotel.

This hotel has improved greatly
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.

On the positive side, renovated
On the positive side, renovated rooms are clean and ok, though really cold now as the heating is too small for a double room, and its sometimes hard to get hot water from the shower. Very helpful staff, and close to the busstops.
However, if you are unlucky to get a room that hasnt been renovated. Its a horrible first experience n you will have to ask to change your room.
But whichever you eventually stay in u'll have to make do with the faults (TV remote, no intercom, heating....)
All put together, u pay for what you get. Nice and cheap. Not as bad as i'd read previous reviews and has the potential to improve after renovations are complete..

Having seen the very promising
Having seen the very promising images of this hotel on the internet, I was extremely disappointed to discover the small, shabby and smelly room I was first given. To get there, I had to use a corridor which looked like a building site, with both carpets and ceilings removed, and the walls in need of repair. Following my complaint to the reception, I was given another room which was just fine, although the decoration dated from the 1960s/70s. So so so so different from the nice images on the site - I could not believe it. I will definitely avoid this hotel at all costs in the future. I met other customers who had the same unpleasant experience.

Hotel could do with some renovation.
Hotel could do with some renovation. Reception and lobby have been upgraded, bedrooms and bathrooms need the same attention as the reception area. I understand this will happen but progress seems slow. Very poor shower water pressure and difficult to adjust it. Ok for the price but if you are expecting more this is not the hotel for you

The Norfolk Hotel is a work in
The Norfolk Hotel is a work in progress as they are still carrying out buliding work etc. The room was a good size. Did not like 2 single beds joined together to make a double.
The reception staff were a bit slow. But for the price the Norfolk hotel is great value for money. I looked at a number of reviews before we stay at the Norfolk Hotel and none of them were good. I am pleased to say that the facilities have improved. But there is still a long way for them to go before it up to standard.
The new feel and look of the hotel is impressive and once they have completed the renovation I am sure that it will be a nice place to stay. I am sure that I would stay there again.

Nie wieder
Die Lage des Hotels ist direkt an einer stark befahrenen Strasse (sehr laut). Die Duschen (nach Zimmerwechsel habe ich 2 kennengelernt)sind mit Schimmelflecken übersät. WC Schalen voller Risse. Die Wände sind sehr dünn! Sobald im Nachbarzimmer geredet usw. wurde, konnte man alles mithören, mitunter bis 5.00 in der Früh. Die Matratzen sind total durchgelegen, jede Sprungfeder war zu spüren. Bettzeug alt , zerschlissen und geflickt. Angeblich wird das Hotel renoviert?! Im wahrsten Sinne: ein billiges Hotel. Wofür dieses Hotel 3 Sterne (3 zuviel) bekommen hat, ist mir schleierhaft? Das mit Abstand grauslichstes Hotel, das ich je besucht habe. Wenn nicht gerade Kongress wäre und die anderen Hotels ausgebucht sind, hätte ich gleich wieder ausgecheckt.
