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, ##### Dobs ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ella643 18 Feb 2013 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 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. ##### Ella643 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Holly Pops 13 Oct 2012 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 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!! ##### Holly Pops ### 2/10 Terrible #### john harrow 13 Sept 2012 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### slum in middle of hagley rd broken bed,broken window.dirty room..unfriendly staff.. ##### john harrow ### 2/10 Terrible #### Badger 11 Jul 2012 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 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 ##### Badger ### 2/10 Terrible #### Bexismaname 11 Apr 2012 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 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 ##### Bexismaname ### 2/10 Terrible #### Disgusted stayer222 10 Feb 2012 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### AVOID AT ALL COSTS 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 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. ##### Oliver ### 8/10 Good #### Anonymous 5 Dec 2009 Liked: Staff & service #### 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.. ##### Anonymous ### 6/10 Okay #### sarabjit, leeds 1 Dec 2009 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### you get what you pay for very cheep hotel, but if only looking for crash pad it works well. ##### sarabjit ### 4/10 Poor #### Anonymous 29 Nov 2009 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### 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. ##### Anonymous ### 6/10 Okay #### Anonymous 26 Nov 2009 #### 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 ##### Anonymous ### 8/10 Good #### Marvin 9 Oct 2009 Disliked: Cleanliness #### 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. ##### Marvin ### 2/10 Terrible #### Chung-I, Wien, A 6 Oct 2009 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Chung-I ### 6/10 Okay #### B, Bristol 27 Sept 2009 Liked: Cleanliness #### Very cheap Given the rate, I am basically happy about this hotel. ##### B ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Cube Hotel Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Birmingham.h4662364.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Burlington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Macdonald-Burlington-Hotel.h596773.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels , Birmingham, City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-Birmingham-Central-Newhall-Square.h12617521.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Malmaison-Birmingham.h7733742.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Regis Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Park-Regis-Birmingham.h12605058.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Birmingham-City-Centre.h1772.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Birmingham Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Birmingham-Centre.h6172621.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport - NEC by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Birmingham-Airport-NEC.h19390.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham Brindley Place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Birmingham-Brindley-Place.h849455.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft Birmingham Eastside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Aloft-Birmingham-Eastside-Locks.h57679060.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ladbrooke Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Ladbrooke-Hotel.h40026305.Hotel-Information) > > [The Arden Hotel & Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Arden-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h1184887.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Birmingham.h15832.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Birmingham Broad Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Birmingham-Broad-Street.h5094770.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Birmingham Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Novotel-Birmingham-Airport.h275.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Birmingham Metropole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hilton-Birmingham-Metropole.h436233.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Birmingham-Airport.h25178330.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Birmingham NEC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Moxy-Birmingham-NEC.h42504887.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Birmingham.h5088811.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Birmingham.h789053.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Court Hotel & Spa Coventry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Royal-Court-Hotel-Spa-Coventry.h66197.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Birmingham-City-Centre.h17730321.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Forest-Of-Arden-Country-Club.h28506.Hotel-Information) > > [Genting Hotel & Spa at Resorts World Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Genting-Hotel.h11281422.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Birmingham City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Birmingham-City-Centre.h9978.Hotel-Information) > > [Britannia Hotel Coventry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Britannia-Hotel-Coventry.h15533.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grand Hotel Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Grand-Hotel-Birmingham.h57252550.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Birmingham NEC and Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Birmingham-NEC-And-Airport.h2489218.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Birmingham NEC by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Birmingham-NEC.h903190.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h1271420.Hotel-Information)
