The Briar Rose - J D Wetherspoon

Liked room, although windows were huge and not soundproof, the noise from outside was so loud we couldn't sleep at all. Hot water was not very hot when using the shower, disliked this a lot. Wify connection was not stable. Was very disappointed on the staff of the hotel, was like the hotel was handeled over to unexperienced kids. Before my arrival I had asked to bokk a taxi, was told a note was left for the staff but to let them know about it on the arrival, we did, then later on we asked if this was book and they told me no but they were going to do it, we needed the taxi for 6 am, when we were up in the morning we went downstairs before 6 am and the person on the reception said the taxi would arrive soon, we went outside, and she left after us took her taxi and our taxi never arrived, reception was left without someone to help, we were locked out tried contacting taxis everything was booked, had to run to another hotel to ask for help and waited another half an hour on a taxi to arrive, we arrived really late had to rush all way through the airport and with huge waiting lines, very unprofessional staff, super disappointed and will never book again, told friends that are going to Birmingham to avoid this hotel, we waited a lot of money with this joke. Please train your staff well, for those two days the arrival and morning we left there was different staff and they didn't show professionalism.

We popped in for a quick breakfast. The place seemed understaffed, so it took a while to be served. The staff were nice and friendly. The food took a while, and I nearly just left, as I would have been late for my meeting, but it then arrived. The English breakfast was underwhelming, with half of it cold and not particularly appealing. It was probably just the time, but I will go elsewhere next time.

Just great fun at great, cheap Weatherspoon prices. Loved using the app to get table service. An umpteenth visit this evening and a great atmosphere before a Villa European game - and I hate Villa. Lots of people drinking and eating in a friendly environment. Oh, yes, and pleasant hard working staff.

Me and my partner decided to do Birmingham city center wetherspoons tour a few weeks back and we rated each one . There are 6 to go to. The Briar Rose came 1st on our ranking.

Great location and very competitive prices a pint of Guinness was approximately £4.50 where all the Local chains a pint of Guinness is £6.50

The location is calm and the atmosphere inside is very cosy quick service for breakfast.
