This trip was booked for an exhibition with 2 colleagues. Because I made the booking I was upgraded to a suite which was lovely and spacious with a balcony overlooking the canal and the city. This was a lovely room. The only downside was even as residents we were not allowed a drink after 10pm except on the Thursday night when we were served because there was a private party. We mentioned this to the bar manager who stated they were being served because they had booked the room until 11pm. I pointed out to him that between myself and my 2 colleagues we had booked rooms for 12 nights at a cost of £2,000

Nice full English breakfast and continental choices. I was there on a quiet day but I would hope that the bar stays open a little later and there would be a tea maid and coffee machine accompanying the breakfast. I imagine making your own cup of tea on a busy day would cause quite a queue. The rooms are tired and could do with a renovation but clean. The air con wasn't cooling in my room.

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.

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.

Very old and tired with no obvious maintenance. Carpets filthy, curtains ripped. Air con broken in a room like a greenhouse. I’m assuming as in administration since late last year, no investment has been made. Reception staff not welcoming and seemed disinterested. Only silver lining was breakfast in Marco Pierre White restaurant which was very nice and had attentive staff.

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.

Loved the amount of windows in the room. The room was clean and tidy. Was disappointed with the state of the hall carpet. This is your first impression and wasn't good. Also had to wait a while for reception staff to appear although they were very nice and extremely helpful when they came.

The air conditioning system was broken in all hotel bedrooms, so the request to move to an alternative room was not an option. A standing fan had been placed in the bedroom and operational upon arrival, but being a hot day 29C, it was not helping the situation. I felt the Reception staff should have advised upon Check-in of the problem, and what was being done to resolve. At 11:30pm I requested an additional fan, which was promptly provided. Hotel restaurant on 25th floor had amazing views of the city, and food and beverages were excellent for dinner and breakfast.

They should have informed us that the air conditioning wasn’t working throughout the hotel. Even with a fan in the room, it was unbearably hot. Ate at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and was a bath of sweat.

How this can be rented as a hotel room, when there is a massive party venue above the bedrooms is beyond me. The hotel has rooms on 23rd and 24th floor, but the 25th seems to be an event space. We got back to our room at 10:30pm and could barely speak to each other in our room on the 24th floor because of the sound from above. It was a suite as well so not cheap! We went downstairs and demanded a refund and was surprised when the hotel staff seemed to agree that nobody could sleep there! Room was clean enough but carpets throughout the hotel were grubby and all in all not a nice experience.

Arrived and checked in ok. Went to the room and found the most pungent eye watering smell of sewage and rotten eggs in the room. Also tried to get the air on to work but it seemed to be on and noisy but no air coming out. The fact that there was already a fan in the room says that the hotel is fully aware. I had to flush the shower and sink for a while to get rid of the smell. Windows don’t open so essentially it was like a sauna. Had a number of cold showers to simply cool off. Reported it downstairs as I went out and the guy on the desk said he would reset the aircon. When I returned later that night I found no change. Slept above the sheets sweating all night. Oh, and the smell was back. In the mornings my daughter was gagging just trying to shower and clean her teeth. Mentioned the issues again on check out but no real acknowledgement of interest. Looking at the reviews it is obvious that the smell and broken aircon is a running theme that the hotel is not interested in fixing. Lovely location and great amenities around but hotel rooms are disgusting and in a poor state of repair.

The room was ridiculously hot. Air con didnt work in mine and colleagues room. As rooms on 23/24 floor can understand why you can't open windows. There was also no cold water in the taps. It was either hot or hotter. Shower was very poweful if you could deal with the 3rd degree burns. Rest of the place is good with a great breakfast and roof top bath

Do not stay here if it is remotely warm outside. The air con was not working and hadn’t been for a few days. The room was unbearable hot and I got almost no sleep. On speaking to another guest it wasn’t the first time either. Fans provided just push hot air around as the floor to ceiling windows act as a greenhouse and make it far hotter than outside. Whilst the lady on reception did her best to help, the male receptionist was very rude to me when I spoke with him and another guest.

I personally expressed deep dissatisfaction with my recent booking. After a canceled flight and lost luggage, I arrived exhausted at the hotel, only to be met by a cold and shockingly unprofessional front desk staff member. Apple Pay wasn’t accepted—unexpected, but manageable. I was then asked to pay a £50 deposit, with no receipt provided. As my employer strictly requires receipts, I politely questioned this. When I suggested that perhaps I should cancel the booking, the receptionist abruptly snapped: “THAT’S OK! Take your stuff and never come back!” I initially walked out in shock, but returned after 30 seconds to ask if this was really necessary—she repeated the demand I leave. I was treated with zero empathy, and the hostility from this staff member was deeply unsettling. With few options left that evening, I had to book into the Hyatt at a much higher price. It’s been a week with no refund or contact. I understand policies vary, but no guest—especially one already in distress—should be treated with such cruelty and dismissal. This was not just poor service—it was a total collapse of professional and human decency. I felt humiliated, abandoned, and frankly shocked that a Hotels.com partner would allow such behavior. I expect a full investigation, accountability, and fair compensation for one of the most degrading travel experiences I’ve ever endured. Please let me know if I can provide any further details.

Also had no aircon in ALL the rooms (their answer was "we don't state we have aircon"). Not great when the windows don't open! Left and found somewhere with the most basic amenities.

Do not stay here if it is remotely warm outside. The air con was not working and hadn’t been for a few days. The room was unbearable hot and I got almost no sleep. On speaking to another guest it wasn’t the first time either. Fans provided just push hot air around as the floor to ceiling windows act as a greenhouse and make it far hotter than outside. Whilst the lady on reception did her best to help, the male receptionist was very rude to me when I spoke with him and another guest.

At check-in the receptionist was lovely, she efficiently got us ready to go into the room. When we opened the door there was two standing fans there and when trying to turn the AC on nothing happened. We called reception and another fan was given however, the room was so unbearable to be in we decided to check out. Again the receptionist was really understanding and as there weren’t any other rooms available offered a refund for our room. Amazing staff Terrible room

The room wasn’t spotless but it was clean. Staff were lovely. Purely for feedback purposes the reception isn’t that easy to find if you enter from the mailbox car parking side.

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.

Nice room, really handy for the waterfront establishments and the Mailbox. Easy walk to Grand Central station and the Bull Ring. Only problem is the air conditioning does not work, however we were provided with an electric fan without any hassle. Would recommend and would use again.

We have stayed in a few of the balcony rooms to date. They’re always lovely. However, this time the room was looking a little tired. The curtains were hanging off the rails in 2 places & we didn’t have any patio furniture which was a shame as the balcony was very large. Other balcony rooms we’ve stayed in before had patio furniture so we could make the most of being outside.

I like this hotel because of it's location. However it's getting dated. Clean but chipped furniture etc. The hallways and rooms tend to be very hot and the AC isn't good. Which is why I now book a room with a balcony so I can get fresh air. Other rooms don't have opening windows. They do provide fans. My last stay had 3 fans in the room so that's rather telling. The MPW restaurant on the top floor is good, although the last time they overcooked my steak. Didn't send back as don't like food waste but they did add a discount when I told them. It's fine. But I think the mal Maison next door is stiff competition

Nice full English breakfast and continental choices. I was there on a quiet day but I would hope that the bar stays open a little later and there would be a tea maid and coffee machine accompanying the breakfast. I imagine making your own cup of tea on a busy day would cause quite a queue. The rooms are tired and could do with a renovation but clean. The air con wasn't cooling in my room.

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.

Disappointing stay - there were 2 fans blowing hot air around a boiling hot room when we arrived. We was told maintenance were fixing the issue - when we arrived back after a night out the heat was unbearable so we had to move rooms at 2am in the morning! Both rooms were worn and where there had been attempts to redecorate it was all unfinished. Breakfast again disappointing - the food was of poor quality.

no air conditioning on a very hot day! When we asked about it they said some rooms it was broken in? Private party in terrace which meant most of the area was sectioned off, party was above our room and very loud until 12pm. Breakfast was very average, not a lot of choice on buffet, cooked breakfast was fine. Marks on carpet and curtains, very disappointing stayed in much better hotels for half the price. Will not stay there again.
