Great value and location

Parking was easily available at the front of the hotel. Rooms so comfy and clean. Definitively exceeded my expectations. Great location and easy walk to the Utilita steam. Excellent value for money will stay again
Jill, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stains on carpet and there was no light at all working in the bathroom however there were no staff on sight to discuss this with Only saw a staff member when we checked in but other than that, it was all phone contact or a basket at the front asking you to check out and place your key in it. Room itself was okay, clean but huge old stain on carpet next to the bed which was very visible and off putting Location was ideal as it was a 15 min walk to the Utilita arena
Laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good for the price point

Hotel was easy to find. Limited parking but we did manage to park for free. Staff were great and very friendly. We ate in the Thai restaurant and have to say the food was amazing. Room was spacious if a little dated but for what we paid it was far more than adequate. Bathroom was also huge. The bed was a little creaky and a bit hard. The TV also didn't seem to get any channels but we weren't overly bothered. No breakfast is offered but we went to Boston Tea Party which is less than 5 mins down the road.

Really hard to contact anyone

The rooms are not bad, a little dated but fine. The service however is not good, I've been trying to contact them for weeks to get an invoice but to no avail.

10/10 Exceptional

Blue Piano is a wonderful place to stay in Birmingham and I would personally recommend it to anybody who is considering a trip to Birmingham! The staff are hospitable, accomodating and kind! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return.
Kassidy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very peaceful weekend break

It was very quiet and comfortable. We only saw one other soul during our stay, a man who briefly emerged from a doorway to give us our room key. Further staff communication is indicated by mobile phone numbers sellotaped to doors and other surfaces. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work and the room was rather stuffy in the heatwave - a small fan helped a bit. We had a very nice breakfast at Boston Tea Party, a few metres away.
Ricardo, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Arriving at the door with a phone number to ring isnt the warmest of welcomes. Given key and found room in a lovely building. Room was large, good wifi, has parking, close to a big Morrisons, lots of positives. No breakfast offered, did try the food in evening. Far too salty and expensive for what it was. Big homeless problem local. Would stay again.

Lee, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disgusting!

I don't know where to start...I can only presume that any positive reviews or ratings of these premises must clearly be based on the restaurant rather than the rooms. Everything in this room was filthy. There was evidence of vermin, cockroach traps under the bed, broken sink, torn curtains, the windows do not shut. Smashed windows seen on the outside of the building. The only evidence that this was the same property as the one advertised on the website was the blue piano in the entrance. No staff available after 9pm. Absolutely no way is this a 3 star property. Avoid!

James, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room was fine, area was ok. Short walk to tram stop. Check in was very difficult though. Called a number, gave us the door code, told us to find a key in a basket and go to that room. Nobody around at all! Went to the room and went out for the night to a concert. 4 missed calls, 10:40pm being the last after the concert had finished, my partner had a text asking “is this [surname]?” and asking for payment. If they sorted check in, they’d get payment then! Getting back at 11:45pm, tired and having travelled 5 hours in the day to meet someone when you’re back in the premises so you can pay just felt awkward, uninviting and made a bit of a vibe
