Good Points: convenience
Bad Points: we stayed in room 509, which we experienced terrible noise from the water pipes, on the 1st two nights we hardly got any sleep. It was major disappointment for us. but the staff were very helpful and tried to sory the problem out for us.
Further Comments: We liked the accommodation overall, as we already stated few times before. We didnt know that you change to main door lock code every sunday, that left the rest of guests staying a bit confused as only one guest was told when she was leaving appart. apart from that everything was excellent

Good Points: the layout the fact you had a lounge area and separate bedroom. The kitchen was small but user friendly, could do with an interior update.
Bad Points: The lounge area needed a face lift as well as the kitchen it was a little worn out. The other problem was there was no nets or blinds so you could been seen.
Further Comments: General review was it was comfortable pleasant clean nice and big. Could do with better telly and sky box as it wasn't working properly. I would definity stay there again, but it does need a face lift as its was looking a bit worn out.

Good Points: Central location.Rooms clean.No noise from within the building and outside noise was minimal.Staff polite and immediately sorted out safe that was locked open.Adjacent shop is handy for supplies and a large restaurant is next door.
Bad Points: It is not in an up market part of Birmingham and youths hang about outside the shop near the entrance to the appartment building. Hot water didn't flow for the shower. Hot water for the bath seemed extremely hot. No plug for the kitchen sink so used the bath plug. TV worked but gave trying to get a response from the set top box. One lounge curtain kept coming off its hooks at one end.Car park was dirty and parking bays were not the easiest to enter and exit. Car park security gate did not lock .Staff said an engineer had been called.Saucepans were in poor condition with one burnt black inside.
Further Comments: I had stayed at the accommodation before so I knew what to expect.I may never visit Birmingham again but I would consider staying at other Premier Appartments locations as they provide relaxing atmosphere inside the appartment with more room than hotel accommodation for a mid range price.

Good Points: I thought the lay 0ut and set up of the hotel and rooms was lovely and the kitchen was well stocked. The room was lovely and warm and the decor was very attractive. When we told the receptionist we were about to check out, someone came round extremely quickly.
Bad Points: I think we had the craziest, most neurotic television in the world. Think that needs checking.
Further Comments: We were quite upset and confused when a deposit of ￃﾂￂﾣ250 was demanded on arrival as we had understood that only sometimes this was asked for. Once we agreed to pay this the amount was actually taken off the card and put back on the next day - the card can be checked without any money being taken. We also called and asked for directions and the directions we were given were dreadful. The lady we talked to the nex morning was very nice though. I think it should have been clearer that when I booked I hadn't actually paid but paid on stay. This is quite confusing.

Good Points: seperate living space
Bad Points: even though it was no smoking it had an awful smell of smoke. cleaner needs to clean under surfaces especially in bath area as quite mouldy .carpets needed cleaning as quite grubby
Further Comments: car parking facilities are poor and this needs to be highlighted more on the booking process.

Good Points: The flexibility it gave me
Bad Points: Furnishings could have been a bit smarter and the parts outside the room like lobby, corridors were scruffy etc.
Further Comments: I was a little taken abck by the area in which the aprtments were, because as a woman on her own it didn't feel very safe at first. But once inside the aprartment it felt fine.

Good Points: there was self catering facilities and a freeview tv
Bad Points: curtain rail was broken,there was bad odour in the room, reception staff didnt really seem interested and was monotone
Further Comments: I would like to have known that a deposit of ￂﾣ250 would be required as this did cause a bit of a problem initially. If it was in small print then maybe it should be highlighted.Bathroom was clean and so was the bedroom although the curtain rail and the odour was bad. the living room sofa's were dirty.

Good Points: It is in the middle of everything...a couple of minutes from the city centre and right on the doorstep of bars and restauraunts
Bad Points: The accomodation was in very good condition..a little sparse and a radio/cd player was missed and what about a clock alarm in the bedroom?

Good Points: location was good, the room was modern with all adequate cons. The microwave did not work and the level of cleanliness let it down.
Bad Points: it was a bit of a trek to get from the carpark to the front entrance - especially with bags etc.

Good Points: I did not feel crammed in as with many other hotels and I have only ever felt this relaxed while away from home when I have been abroad on holiday.
Bad Points: Could do with air conditioning in city center locations. When I stayed we had some very hot evenings. Usually I would open a window but in the city center the noise from traffic and all night clubs make it difficult to sleep (even though the be was very comfy). With air conditioning I would have been able to have a more comfortable stay.
