Staying Cool At Rotunda, Birmingham - Serviced Apartments  

Its location is wonderful ,also the division of the flat is excellent .

The cleaning is bad

The best thing about staying cool was the views you felt like you was the highest you could be in Birmingham and you could see for miles also you could not get any closer to the Bull ring unless you slept on the door step :)

Design hotel nice furniture, nice view. It's a pity Birmingham is so awful!

Lovely location & fabulous views

Couldn't watch tv in bed - small sofa so not enough room to cuddle up & watch tv which I always love doing when I get time!

space

parking directions

Brilliant location - easy walk from train and great for shopping. Staff very friendly and quick to put right some niggly issues in the room

The rooms are not serviced daily

It felt like a home from home, everything we needed for a short stay was there. I was particularly impressed with the choice of teas and coffees, the fresh oranges for the juicer and that (I presume because it was just before Christmas), a mini selection box of Cadbury's chocolate). The night time views were spectacular. The location is about as central as you can possibly be.

On arrival, it took around 10 mins before anyone answered the 24hr contact line and a further 5 mins before showing up with the keys. This was at at 6:15pm. Some minor points for improvement were that the Sky box wasn't HD, the TV was only 40" and felt a little small for the size of the living space it covered and the attached Mac Mini isn't Flash enabled, so despite all the tech at hand I couldn't watch BBC iPlayer.

History of the building and the very nice way in which the building had been redeveloped with appartments.

Floor/carpet within appartment detracted from the otherwise high class finish

Staff were polite and hospitable and very helpful, when we had any problems they dealt with them swiftly and efficiently.the penthouse was spacious and clean, with amazing balcony. We had ten guests over for pre dinner drinks and it was a great space to entertain them as opposed to a regular hotel room. It was overall a good stay and I would recommend it to others but only after I had told them of the little niggles that we experienced whilst there.

There were a few little things that when added up do make your stay annoying such as,trying to work out the heating which I think should be already switched on for you when you arrive, trying to work out the lighting, very hard work, when staff came up to put these on for us they were very good though. The hot water was very slow to heat up and again we had to call someone up to put it on for us and they had said that if it didnt work then we could use another penthouse bathroom facilities to shower, but that did make us late getting ready and dressed for our guests who were arriving for 7.30pm, we weren't dressed till 8.30. there was no full length mirror in the whole penthouse, could have done with a bin in the bathroom or/and bedroom, some slippers would be nice, and the en suites to both bedrooms should have a bath tub as we only had one bedroom with a tub.

It has an excellent location with freindly staff and free Wifi, the view from the whole wall glass window was fabuollus. They are also offering daily room cleaning if stayed more than 2 night. Overall it was good stay.

The rooms are so small and compacted

Central location, helpful staff, well designed apartment, fun.

On arrival I was informed that I was upgraded, which was a lovely surprise. The guy on reception was friendly and very helpful. The apartment itself was very clean, brilliant location, and lovely view over birmingham out of the window(especially at night). The apartment is equiped with everything you can think of that you could possibly need, washing machine/drier, coffee machine, juicer, dish washer, to name but a few..

Perfectly positioned, right in the middle of the shopping areas; great view, very nice appartments

No lobby, bar or restaurant as in a classic hotel, looks more like a residence, but not that important as there are so many bars and restaurants nearby; there no direct access by car, need to walk arond the building to get to the main entrance
