Cavalier House Hotel  

It's quieteness

One bad thing about the place was they were work men workin outside and about when we got into the room there was a hole in the roof!! Where the new light was goin to go (I think) with wires sticking out!! everything else did its job!!

I would only recomment the cavalier hotel because its cheap!! Nothin more nothing less!! Beds were bad!!

My room and bathroom were very clean.

Location to where I was visiting, was grateful of tea and coffee making facilities. Towels and bed clean, big room tv good.

Looked closed, sign on door said reception next door! Looked like work in progress, no other guests seen, not clear what relationship was with next door hotel, did not feel safe entering hotel or room or leaving it, bathroom fairly good but toilet dirty on arrival and tile missing. Mattress hard. Breakfast offered but no instruction on where it could be obtained.

Close to Birmingham University which we were visiting.

Restaurant and reception is in the hotel next door.

On arrival, quickly realised this is the 'poor relation' of the hotel next door! Greeted by note on front door saying 'all enquiries next door!' Not quite the concierge one's use to! However, this was very last minute and an ideal location, halfway for my daughter and I to spend the weekend together. Pleasant enough receptionist accompanied by not so pleasant colleague.....as confirmed later! The room was shabby, actual iron holes in carpet, very tired decor but had the most beautiful, obviously recently refurbished bathroom! I chose this hotel as it was described as having a lovely garden, ideal I thought! Granted the garden probably was once very lovely and matched the once lovely house, enough said.....

It was on a main road with transit options.

Poor signage out front, our taxi went past it 3 times, with all of us looking for hotel sign, before we realised what it was. Breakfast was poor quality and expensive. The reception area was not manned. The front door was electronically monitored, you had to buzz, hold up your room key and wait to be let in. The reception was actually in a hotel with different name right beside the Cavalier. This other hotel had better signage which actually overshadowed Cavalier'S.

- The room was very spacious and comfortable. - There were quite a few restaurants close by. - The staff was very friendly - Definitely good value for money.

- The hotel is situated in a busy road therefore it is easily to hear the cars passing by especially during the night. - I did not like the fact that we had to leave the hotel every time and go next door to talk to the receptionist. There was receptionist in our hotel. This felt really awkward.

After 11 hour day at Edgbaston it was ideal no-frills place with a decent size bar for a night cap watching Eng v Ireland rugby highlights, a clean quiet en suite bedroom to get a good night's sleep and a decent cooked breakfast to send us on our way refreshed.

Was bit of a surprise to find we were directed (by a sign on the Entrance door) to the hotel next door but I guess they are in fact run as one establishment. The hotel was ideal for our needs.

The staff were rude, the room was a dpubke but was two single beds pushed together. There was building going on right outside our room on the morning. I would not go or recommend this hotel to anyone. £45 was way too much for this hotel!!

The location of this hotel is good for access to Broad Street and evening out / eating out offer as well as for city centre shopping which can be accessed at the end of Broad Street. Nice simple decor. But all of this relates to Edgbaston Palace ( as didn't get hotel we thought we were booking).

Having read feedback specifically asked to be in Cavalier House hotel (as pictures give really nice heritage feel) - others had been moved next door to Edgbaston Palace (!?) hotel. Not pleased to be sent to said 'Palace' - why list/sell it and then not let guests stay there? Also e mailed thru booking .com to request spacious room/ bed as we are tall & others commented could be cramped. Got cramped room. Corridor noise all night ( much of which could have been aided by simple 'please consider other guests' notices, oiling hinges of doors & damping noise of fire doors slamming shut). Curtains that were too short meant constant stream of light. Receptionist efficient to the point of rudeness (think I interrupted her telling colleague about awfulness of customers she'd had to deal with).

Breakfast was served promptly and was good. There was a carpark.

The tv was unuseable (no plug socket and aerial), the rooms could have been of a better standard, very expensive wi-fi.

It was good value for money, had parking and was close to city centre - easy to get the bus.
