Sewage smell and tired rooms!
We stayed at the cube through a recommendation from friends but we were thoroughly disappointed. The room had good views of Birmingham but the smell of sewage in the room was horrific. The room itself was tired with bits falling off and cracks everywhere. The cleanliness of the bathroom was ok for our use but wouldn’t use the shower as it was dirty. Overall, it was ok but we won’t be going back.

Not the Greatest Stay
It wasn’t great. The carpets throughout are really dirty with stains all over them especially outside our room on the 23rd floor. There is no air conditioning or it’s not working so it was so hot in the room. The staff on reception have no idea what they’re doing. The breakfast on the 25th floor was good but at £18.95 it should be.

Cold and tired.
Chose this boutique described hotel for a long weekend in Birmingham. The reception is very underwhelming, lots of light off, unmanned counters and very cold. The Receptionist was lovely and swiftly checked me in to room 2409. The room was extremely tired, cracked tiles in the bathroom, poor up keep of the shower (black mould and mastic coming away) and very cold. There was a small plug it oil radiator in the room. I plugged it in and adjusted the thermostat before going out. When I returned it was the same. In the morning I was freezing and spoke to the receptionist, Patty, who was very helpful and moved me to another room. Which was a massive improvement and warm. She gave me a coupon for a drink in the bar. When the room was made up they didn’t replace coffee, biscuits or tissue. Aside from Patty, all the staff looked so unhappy and gave such lacklustre service. In check out the receptionist told me there was a charge from the bar, I had only redeemed the coupon issued for moving rooms. He could offer no explanation or details on the charge and very begrudgingly dismissed me when I said that I had nothing to pay. The area is at the back of the Mailbox which feels like its glory has well faded since it opened with Harvey Nichols in.

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!

Its not what they make it out to be
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

I would not recommend
The air conditioning was broken and stuck on 28 degrees, the fan in the room had one speed (the remote for adjusting was lost) and was really loud. The staff said they would fix the aircon remotely but didn’t or couldn’t. We wanted to shower and leave early as we slept so poorly, all the water was absolutely boiling (even from the cold tap) until about 7am when others got up. Really very strange. There was no one on reception when we checked out. All in all, great location but I wouldn’t return as it was highly let down by technical faults and issues resulting in an awful nights sleep.

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.
