I chose the Strawberry Bank Hotel because I was arriving on a late flight and leaving the following morning. The hotel was one of few offering suitable accommodation at a reasonable price with a 24hr reception desk. I was very pleased with the hotel; the staff were all very friendly and helpful, the room was attractive, clean and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Many thanks for a pleasant stay!

10/10 Exceptional

We had 2 good nights sleep! For the price we paid it was fine- the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, the room was clean and plenty of tea/coffee provided. The room could have done with a little updating, for example the cover of the headboard had been stapled on, and something had come off of the wall, leaving ripped wallpaper and a hole behind. I’m also not sure I agree with having to pay for parking (this charge is mentioned up front so it wasn’t a surprise) - they offer free parking if you book with them directly but then the room cost is significantly higher. We ate at the bar one evening- the restaurant does fill up so definitely worth booking in advance if you don’t want to sit in the bar area (especially worth noting on Saturday which is karaoke night, very loud!). Food was nice and good portion size. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

Decided to stay at short notice following our trip abroad. Warm, friendly welcome at reception. We had an excellent dinner in the restaurant, which was reasonably priced.

6/10 Good

The room was bordering on shabby. The shower itself was good, but the taps were too small for the sink, making it difficult to properly wash your hands. The walls were extremely thin, so you could hear everything from neighbouring rooms, and the ceiling creaked constantly from movement in the room above. Whenever anything was moved, there was a noticeable amount of dust underneath, and the room itself seemed to be missing some furniture. Plug sockets were placed in rather random locations, which made them awkward to use. I also found it slightly odd that a ground-floor room facing pedestrian traffic had no net curtains for privacy, and parts of the wallpaper were ripped. Overall, it was acceptable for the price, but it did not leave me particularly inclined to return.

Didn't have breakfast. The room met our expectations as as it's cheap and accessible to the bulls head across the road and two Indian restaurants too

There was no-one on Reception when we arrived so, after waiting 10 mins, I phoned my friend who was already in our room. The room was chilly and took a while to warm up.

This is a great location for the NEC, which was a 4 mile drive only. Very friendly staff, particularly the lady serving breakfast during our stay 5th and 6th September 25. She was really nice, friendly, chatty and helpful. We will definitely stay here again
