Malmaison Birmingham
"The hotel is looking dated and tired. The bar and public area are nice enough but the rooms really need updating. My room had hardly any water pressure. It was difficult to brush my teeth let alone take a shower."

Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club
"The staff were helpful and the room was great. Just very warm and no air con. Also no mini bar/ fridge in room made it difficult to stay cool on the hottest day of the year. But the pool came on handy for that."
