Was very noisy with function above. Obviously an issue as there was a note in the room. This wasn’t identified when I booked the room. I would not have chosen a hotel with functions until 1am had I known. Also door wasn’t tight so any noise in the corridor was loud

The Cube Hotel is beginning to look tired, carpets dirty outside lifts. Our room was hadn't been 'made up' when we had been handed the keys and moved to another room. Unfortunately the heating didn’t work in our room and appeared to be the same throughout the hotel. Not good considering how cold it was outside.

Booked in January. Room was cold and heating wasn't working. Asked staff to check why but nobody came to fix it. Asked for another room but we were told they were fully booked. Staff were apathetic. Requested full refund. Lesson learned. Recommend any other hotel.

We paid for a superior room, upon arrival the bed was slanted, you could feel every spring in the mattress coming through, no heating in the room, heating not working, shower was cold in the evening, definitely not a superior room!!! I would be ashamed to be advertising this as a superior room!! Definitely will not book this hotel again!!

Although the hotel is OK the room was freezing cold. When asking to get the heating sorted we were given a tiny electric heater. We also resorted to puting the bathroom towel rail on and leave the door open. After reading up on recent reviews it seems as this has been a problem for some time! There were cracked tiles on the entrance to the bathroom which needed avoiding in bare feet. We were still asked to give a £50 security fee! We should be getting a refund! Despite that the bed was comfortable and would recommend the breakfast but was a bit pricey.

Stayed on the 30th October, nearly 3 weeks later still no refund for my deposit. Ignored emails. Only stayed like 8 hours max and the room was gloomy, beds put together so the gap in the middle was uncomfortable. Stayed in radisson blu the night prior, much better

One night at the cube
Check in process was fine. There is no parking on site for guests, though I was offered a 20% discount to park elsewhere. Room was comfortable but hot especially in the early hours. There is no A/C though 2 fans were provided. The carpets in the hallway appeared dirty whether it was the colour or wear.

Functional business hotel with no frills. Large rooms but slippery bathroom floors and the AC conked out. Views of Birmingham (not particularly exciting!) from floors 23 to 25 - which are also the only floors with hotel rooms/restaurants (rest are offices i believe).

Chosen for my daughter’s graduation at the University Of Birmingham and for the onsite restaurant to celebrate afterwards. -Main issue is parking. I have 2 elderly parents who both have a blue badge but parking is abysmal and we struggled with that. -Only 1 lift was working which was an issue (1mobility scooter etc), so we had to wait long times to navigate floors as walking not an option. -No heating in hotel. Not a problem for us but my parents found it cold despite being given portable heaters. -Our balcony room was lovely but sadly above the bed was a collection of contact lenses on the ceiling where previous occupants have “flicked” them up. In conclusion, it’s a lovely hotel but there were issues that took the shine of what was a lovely break away.

Needs more safety…
We visited very recently and loved the location of the hotel, very close to everything. This has the potential to be a really fantastic hotel and I believe a few years ago it probably was. However our stay wasn’t perfect. We got followed back to the hotel by a man around midnight, unfortunately the hotel has an open all door which is very unsafe. Yes you can’t use the lift without a key card but what’s to stop him from forcing us into the lift? We also had a lot of stains on the carpet and it all just felt very tired and worn. The bed however, that was perfect. The hotel itself is nice but for the same price I’d possibly choose somewhere else. Breakfast was a good 9/10 though!

The staff were very attentive and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and we had a very relaxing couple of nights. We wanted to stay near Gas Street as I came here many times to see my Dad's family as a youngster. We were in Brum to see Englebert Humperdinck at the Symphony Hall. Unfortunately, the concert was cancelled a few hours before the start. Despite this, we had a most relaxing and comfortable stay.
