Farndon Holidays from £134

The breakfast was very poor. We got down for breakfast around 9am and there was nothing useful left to eat. We raised this with the staff and they confirmed, despite a cold breakfast offering, they ran out of pastries. Only 1 pot of yoghurt was left for a family of 3, handful of slices of bread, we had to request hot water for Tea (can’t be that cold of a breakfast!), the juice ran out and only 1 apple was left. It was really dire. The reception staff are in a room behind the front desk, you get this deserted place vibe throughout the stay. For the amount we pad for an overnight stay (£118), I can’t even begin to imagine the poor value for money we got. Redeeming quality was, after the breakfast debacle, they promised to refund the money covering the breakfast element on the booking. By the way, the WiFi didn’t work on arrival. We were told this at the desk. If it was cheap what I paid, I’ll say that’s to be expected. But an overnight stay for almost £120, for a family of 3 (child included) is almost the going rate in any average hotel and you get an attendant overseeing breakfast. We had to go find them at the reception desk!

Had a great stay in the heart of Birmingham. Key collection was easy - from a local shop and car parking was secure on site. The apartment was modern and clean and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of places to visit and restaurants all in walking distance.

Food was excellent and great service. If you are in the main building please ask the team to turn the outside spotlights off as they may be shining in your windows overnight.

Staff were really helpful to me - wifi was not that strong in my room so they moved me rooms with no fuss - around the hotel staff were really friendly. Gym and pool good was happy for a solo business trip and room was clean!
