What guests think

Across recent reviews of Apollo Hotel, guests describe a budget, dated, motel-style property with mixed experiences: some find clean, comfortable rooms, while many highlight worn facilities and concerns about security and building upkeep.

Common issues include broken fixtures, cold or inconsistent showers, thin walls, and very warm rooms without fans or effective cooling. On the plus side, the location is convenient for the city and Edgbaston, with plenty of parking. Breakfast feedback varies widely, from excellent cooked-to-order plates to basic, limited, or cold, and there is usually no evening dining. Overall, expect simple, no-frills lodging with quality that can vary by block and room.

I booked this hotel as it stated it had a lift. On arrival the family room was on 1st floor on side of hotel that doesn’t have a lift. The side that does have a lift is under renovation. One of my party uses a wheelchair. The alternative room I was offered was on the ground floor, not wheelchair accessible and the door of the room opened straight out onto the car park, and I did not feel safe to stay in that room. Please do not stay here. No offer of a refund or credit note from receptionist

I would say it was average. We didn’t have enough towels so had to go to reception to get some. They gave us some straight away. We have been staying there twice a year for nearly 14 years and this was the worst room we have ever had. Water was hot in the night but couldn’t get any hot water in the morning in the sink. The shower was hot though but not much pressure. We have always had a bath and shower when we’ve stayed before but this time only had a shower. Also they don’t do evening meals anymore which they haven’t done for some years now.

The pictures on the website look fine, but they do not reflect the shabby reality. Bedrooms are accessed from external doors - like an American motel. There is no obvious security and so anyone can gain direct access to the rooms. I felt very unsafe, especially as it is not in the best area of Birmingham. Entry door key did not work properly - taking several attempts to open the door and on the second day it stopped working completely and had to be reprogrammed. Carpet and walls were stained and marked. Furniture was so stained that I could not use the chair and desk was damaged. Staff took no notice of my concerns And to make matters worse I was required to pay £100 deposit against breakages, which has not yet been returned. The only plus was that the bathroom was clean - the cleaners obviously do their best, but it must be dispiriting to work in such squalid conditions

Good amount of parking and a nice Ironing setup in room itself to cater to business clients. TV with free view channels and internet was decent speed. Well mannered staff. Food was average and there is a deposit to prevent people breaking hotel things. Not part of any chain and a good hotel apartment. Have a small Tesco shop near by where most of the things can be bought.

Dirty stained sheets in first room and dirty tissues behind the desk where I found the remote control. Moved room and the sheets were stained in there as well. Light hanging off the wall by its wire. Dust everywhere No hot water in the Morning unless you turn the towel rad on (in this heat!!!) At 1am the “let’s see who can slam their door the loudest” started and lasted for about an hour. Receptionist was helpful and apologetic though. Won’t be staying there again.

Upon arrival we were keys to a room, which had already been allocated ! We were quickly given keys to another room. The room was basic and dated, but we only needed somewhere to lay our heads for the night. Tea/ Coffee sachets were damp: shower took 10minutes to warm up: walls paper thin - we could hear next door conversation word for word!

Great location for city centre, however it looks like a motel from the outside, the room had no bin and no shelf in the shower, no plugs in sink or shower and no heating so it felt like staying in a prison. Thankfully all we did was sleep there. These rooms are not designed to spend a long time in.

I was on a personal trip rather than my usual business so decided to treat myself to a little luxury. With this in mind I ignored the standard, shunned the premium & the superior rooms and decided it would be the luxury of an executive room for me. The guy on reception was great and was really helpful and chatty throughout my stay. However the room was nothing like the executive experience I was expecting. It was only just adequate and the most basis room I had stayed in for a long time. Several of the fixtures needed attention and I'm sure if the hotel inspector visited she would have something to say. However it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Parking was free and easy.

Bathroom was relatively modern but cold shower was not enjoyable. Neighbours smoked outside my room which seeped in through the door, very noisy can hear everything each side of you. A lot of money for the room! Do not stay here

Second time staying at the Apollo. First time wasn’t so great, had a bedroom just of an open walkway, large gaps in the door where the wind blow through. This time however, I had a room within one of the blocks, the room was basic but comfortable, bed and pillows were good the room was nice and warm and the breakfast was adequate.

Booked a room to attend the T20 Cricket. Was able to check in early, brilliant! But told that the beds had not been fully made but would be by the time we returned later that evening. Put the bags in our room, and discovered that when the toilet flushed, water poured out of the bottom and all over the floor. Told reception who made a note. Returned to room in the evening to discover, toilet still leaked, beds not made. Reception then gave us pillow cases to put on beds ourselves. Upon checkout we told reception again about the issues, who then told us that we were supposed of been moved to a different room, but this clearly never happened or even told that this was to happen. At least there was parking…

Some furnishings worn but bed and pillows very comfortable. Building is unique but not a problem like mentioned in previous reviews. I didn't have any cause to eat or go to the bar so can't comment on that. Check in and out very friendly and efficient. Travelled alone and felt safe, I would definitely stay again

The hotel is very cheap, but that comes at the cost of cleanliness—it’s not clean at all. Worse, I witnessed the manager being openly racist to another guest, telling him to “go back to the streets,” swearing at him, and using incredibly foul language. It was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had in a hotel.

We were looking for a hotel a short distance to the Test match at Edgbaston with parking. Despite some poor reviews on line we were nicely surprised. The buildings are relatively old but the rooms were clean and tidy. The staff were all very helpful and the breakfast was tasty. We were able to leave our car all day while we were at the Test match free of charge. It fitted our requirements nicely and the TGI Fridays across the road was a good option for an evening meal and beer.

I would stay here again if I needed to travel to this location. Only thing I would say though is that the weather was very hot when we stayed and there wasn't any air conditioning units. My stay at this hotel was due to another hotel that I had booked with no longer being able to honour our booking.

My room was clean & tidy, with quality bed linen and fluffy towels in the bathroom. In the bathroom the sanitary ware was fine, although the vertical rail that supported the detachable shower hose was detached at the top and needs refixing. Also the bath needs a rubber mat inside as there is nothing to stop guests slipping whilst showering. I slipped this morning but thankfully came to no harm. There is a TESCO Express next door to the Apollo hotel and a Boots Optician branch however there are no other shops within easy walking distance (that I found). The Apollo currently has only breakfast provision in-house but there is a great Chef & Brewer about a quarter of a mile down the Hagley Rd that my wife and I visited twice and thought was excellent. There are other eateries but we only tried the Premier Inn restaurant (used to be a Beefeater) which was bland and soulless with a restricted menu. There were only two staff on duty, so perhaps the less said the better. The waitress assured me that there are plans to reestablish a full Beefeater on the site, but till that happens I would give that restaurant a miss.
