Bloc Hotel Birmingham

The hotel was amazing value - really clean, comfy, modern and well designed with a lovely coffee machine and biscuits in the room. Loved the controls for lights, climate and lock being on our phone, and great local discount offers too. Couldn’t fault it.

The staff was super nice. We got there early, but they let us in right away since the room was ready. Everything was clean and smelled good. The room was small, but we knew that, and it was perfect for showering and sleeping for a couple of nights.

The room was well equipped for the value price. It was small and did not have a window, but I knew that when I booked. I appreciated the backlit window shade to at least give the feeling of natural light. This was a one-night solo stay, so I didn't need anything else. With a partner or friend, my room would have been a tight fit, but I knew this when I booked! Staff was very friendly; I arrived WAY before check-in time, but they held my bag and gave me many recommendations of activities. Very near beautiful St. Paul's square with many coffee, restaurants and bar options. Many coupons available as guests of the hotel and I was able to walk to/from the train station (about 15 minutes for me).

The hotel is a lovely place to stay if you have a weekend in Birmingham. The location is fantastic with lovely restaurants and cafés nearby. The pizza restaurant opposite is fantastic as well as a lovely Indian round the corner in an English pub. In the morning we were able to just cross over the road to a lovely café which had delicious pastries. It’s definitely a great area in Birmingham. We stayed in an apartment room. There was a large bed and a relatively nice size bathroom with a shower. In the living space, there was a TV sofa and a kitchenette. Not much of a kitchen, just a microwave and a coffee machine a sink and some plates and cutlery. I would recommend getting the apartment room as it gave us so much more space. We also got an extra bedroom as there was a couple of us, but the apartment room was fabulous to hang out in rather than just being in a bedroom.

We were given an upgrade to the apartment room. Dry nice surprise. Appreciate. Much bigger than the average room in the hotel. With basically a mini kitchen, sink, fridge and coffee machine. Sofa, little dinner table and two decent sized smart TVs one in the bedroom on the wall and the other in the living room on the wall, so we could watch Netflix and YouTube. The shower rooms pretty comfortable I liked the sliding glass door. Good mirror lighting lol.
