Booked this hotel as we were shocked by another booking and couldn't spend the night their. ABBEY made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in 5stars for her. Lovely hotel and NCP car park just across the road so easy acess.

The hotel was nice and conveniently located not too far from the main train station. All the staff were amazing. The room was great for the price and came with a king-size bed. The event facilities were excellent, and Andel (if I remember his name correctly) was very helpful with our meeting needs on the day. Stamatia was also fantastic throughout the event booking process. I was able to connect my MacBook to the speakers and projector without any issues. The air conditioning worked well too. My favourite part of the hotel was the restaurant. I dined in upon arrival and was served by Molly, who was lovely and very attentive to our table. The food was delicious. I have high standards when it comes to food, and I was genuinely impressed by the quality of my dish. I had the sweet potato and ginger soup followed by grilled sea bass — my highest compliments to the chef. The breakfast was lovely with tons of options. I loved the chia pudding and green smoothie. I’m not sure when I’ll next be in Birmingham, but I would definitely return to eat at the restaurant, even if I were just visiting for the day.

I recently stayed at Clayton. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience. The room and bathroom were not properly cleaned and had an unpleasant odour, that one would wonder if they were actually cleaned. There was no ventilation, making the space feel stuffy. The shower tiles appeared dirty, and water from the shower leaked into the room despite efforts to prevent it. The heater/AC was not functioning, and although a portable heater was provided, the room remained uncomfortably cold. I hope these concerns can be addressed to improve the experience for future guests. As for me, I would not be staying again.

Stayed this friday …. Our room was okay but looked dated and was cold and heating didn’t seem to be working , although was moved to a much nicer room after , went for few drinks before our Groupon meal but was stood at the bar while the bar girl ( brown hair , down not tied up ) was pouring 2 drinks , no welcome from her just ignored us and we stood there for about 5-10 mins . When she did finally serve us she seemed rude and not very friendly at all , definitely felt she needs to work on her customer service skills . But when we went and sat for our meal we had a gentleman look after us and he was really welcoming , friendly kept coming back checking on us for drink etc , and really looked after us . And same with breakfast this was the best part ! Amazing breakfast and very welcoming , great selected of food .

We had a wonderful stay and secured throughout our visit. The only improvement would be clearer signage for the entrance, as it was a bit tricky to find initially. Fortunately, we were able to park for free on a nearby side street, which was a great bonus. However, the room was quite cold, and the heating system wasn’t working, so I had to request a portable heater. On a positive note, the breakfast was fresh and offered a wide variety of options.. However, during our late check-out, housekeeping entered our room twice despite notifying reception of our late departure and intention to pay for it on check out. Aside from this, the hotel was clean and well-maintained. I would definitely consider staying here again during my next visit to Birmingham.

Lovely hotel in an excellent location. I have visited 3 Christmases in a row and the rooms are nice and clean and the food is excellent both for dinner and breakfast. Lovely staff always available. Thank you for the extra heating this year in the dining room and bar areas as previously it was quite cold in there. I would recommend this hotel for style, price, and convenience and all of the above already mentioned.

I recently stayed at Clayton Hotel Birmingham from 19 Dec to 23 December, and it was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve had. Upon arrival, the first room I was assigned was completely unacceptable. It was dirty, with dust covering surfaces, the toilet was not properly cleaned, and only one towel was provided for two people. The bed was missing a pillow, with only three provided instead of four, and there was only one electric socket on one side of the bed. Despite raising these issues with reception, no immediate action was taken, and I had to spend the first night in these conditions. The next day, after hours of waiting and following up with the staff, I was moved to an alternative room. While this room was cleaner, it still had numerous issues. The furniture was uncomfortable, especially the bed, which made it difficult to rest. There were no blackout curtains, meaning light from outside made sleeping challenging, and the heating system was not functioning properly, leaving the room uncomfortably cold. On the third night, the shower drain in the alternative room was completely blocked, causing water to flood the bathroom and spill into the rest of the room. Thankfully, the manager responded immediately and arranged for us to move to another room. However, having to move rooms twice during a four-night stay was highly disruptive and added to the stress of an already poor experience. The hotel is also surrounded by roadworks, which made access to the property difficult, and the parking situation was not as described, adding to the overall frustration. None of these issues were disclosed during booking, which felt misleading. Throughout my stay, I sent multiple emails to reception, management, and the general hotel email regarding the issues I encountered, but I received no response. The lack of communication and follow-up was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. This was one of the most frustrating hotel stays I’ve experienced. The constant issues, from poor cleanliness and maintenance to room changes and lack of communication, completely ruined the trip. I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone and strongly advise against staying here. It fails to meet even the most basic hospitality standards, and I regret booking my stay at this property. Avoid at all costs.

The staff were friendly and polite . Breakfast was excellent with great choice ,cooked well and presented nicely. The room was clean but the heating and bathroom extractor wasn't working. I'm sure this was an oversight that can be improved in the future by having house keeping report any issues to be addressed ,after they've prepared the room. Would I stay at the Clayton again?... Yes.

Mi hijo me llevó al Clayton para el té de la tarde, como regalo de cumpleaños, reservamos, llegamos a tiempo, pero nos quedamos esperando a estar sentados durante 10 minutos, no había nadie alrededor, una chica haciendo la aspiradora simplemente nos ignoró. Más tarde se disculpó por aspirar mientras comíamos, pero eso no me molestó. Eventualmente un servidor masculino muy amable nos llevó a una zona de estar casual inadecuada en la parte superior de las escaleras, luego a un asiento en el bar, pero si voy a comer me gustaría hacerlo en una mesa. Estaba un poco estresado en este punto, pero el servidor manejó la situación muy bien. Después de que nos encontró una mesa adecuada, nos trajo una gran taza de café y una olla de té, los sándwiches eran un poco sosos, los pasteles eran fantásticos, los bollos eran pequeños, el pastelito era encantador, pero hacía demasiado calor para recoger y no pudimos encontrar a nadie para obtener cubiertos, así que tuve que usar una cuchara de té, tranquilo sorprendido de lo poco que obtiene por el dinero, buen trabajo no soy un gran comedor. No volvería.

This is a lovely hotel BUT. They've turned the heating off. Beautiful hotel, great rooms, good food. We only stayed one night. We got there about 7, because we got lost due to all the road works and building. Lovely welcome on arrival. We were offered a glass of prosecco but we're running late for a concert. On return the room was cold. Put the heating on and it didn't work,so went to bed. The following morning I asked a member of staff how it worked. They reluctantly told me the heating didn't work, we had a great breakfast, on checking out I told reception, and got a reluctant apology. Then we were told we can have a fan heater as we were checking out?? . This could be a fantastic Hotel. Such a shame.

The most awful service I have ever received from a hotel stay. TV not working tried to contact reception took over hour for someone to pick up the phone. And still had to call back an hour later as noone attended room to have the phone put down on me sharply before I could even explain. Room service £60 to have missing items something as simple as pizza and chips, extremely rude staff. And awful customer service. Lovely hotel but staff need serious training.

Booked this hotel for my boyfriend’s birthday surprise. The lovely lady who checked us in let my mom up so she could help me set up the surprise. The room is very spacious with a great full length mirror for outfit pictures. The bed is super comfortable and very big, great for relaxing after a long day of travel. The only issue we had was it was a little cold, we tried to turn up the heat but it didn’t seem to make a difference. Apart from that everything was 10/10. I will definitely be coming back here for a stay.

This is NOT a 4-star hotel. 2.5-3 at best! Overall room was alright but lacking in so many elements. No cups in the bathroom, no slippers, no robes, no fridge, safety locker wasn’t working. It’s… functional at most. Clean shower and bed to sleep. Reception was not helpful (except for one lady that really helped us with our boxes). One particular lady (night shift) has a really bad attitude. Lacklustre, checked us in and that’s it. Didn’t bother to inform us about the hotel, amenities, directions to the lifts, etc. When asked a question, she explained with a subtle attitude, as though she really hated her job… or us. Other requests ie cutleries to the room were not entertained — told us they were too busy (there were hardly any guests at check-in), told us to get it ourselves at the restaurant. Ordered Uber Eats but just told him they couldn’t accept the food, didn’t at least take the initiative to call up to the room to inform (Uber Eats left with our food). No umbrellas for guests, eventhough it was raining the entire day. Was informed water was only complimentary on the first day but housekeeping informed us otherwise. Broken comms. Overall it felt like a nice facade with a really poor service. I guess the “4-star hotel” caught us off guard. Not at all at that level. Also — many on-going road works. Cars cannot stop infront of the hotel for pick up / drop offs. Require guests to walk.

Warm welcome on a bitterly cold night (we would wake up to snow ) from reception and even better news on our 2nd visit here awaited us a complimentary upgrade to a suite thank you The Clayton . However and not because of that we found the staff , reception, restaurant and bar to be exceptional polite just attentive enough without being intrusive. The room was heavenly, warm spacious with a nice seating area and a great movable TV . Would highly recommend if your wanting a hotel within good distance of the majority of the large venues in the are 8 taxi to the Symphony Hall for example.. So to summarise great hotel great service good food and great staff . Can't wait to go back

We visited Clayton for the traditional afternoon tea booked via Groupon. And, we had a great time. We did not have to wait long for the afternoon tea to be brought out. The afternoon was Halloween themed. In regards to the afternoon tea, some of the desserts/sweet treats were a hit and miss. The savoury selection was OK. I wasn't too fond of the sandwich fillings. However, we especially enjoyed the freshly baked scones. In terms of the service, the customer service was impeecibale and top notch. The staff were very polite, attentive, and hospitable. We were offered hot drink refills throughout. I'd definitely book again. The hotel is also conveniently located centrally in the heart of the city centre.

Stayed at the Clayton for my partners birthday as we were seeing a show in the city. The road works being carried out were a bit of a problem as paths were closed but this is no fault of the hotels and once inside they caused no disturbances. Stayed in an executive room that was spotless and only let down by the bathroom as the shower leaked and the bottom of the door was deteriorating probably caused by the water however this was a minor thing. Enough of the negative as none of this would stop us staying again. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful from reception, to the bar to the restaurant. Had an early dinner due to going to the show and the food was excellent, the waitress was very attentive but not over bearing and not rushed in anyway. When we returned on the evening we had a drink before returning to our room, the bar was empty which may be due to being a little overpriced but quite nice just to be able to have a drink without having to wait or push through crowds. Has breakfast included which had everything you could want. Usual catering toaster which took for ever but actually gave brown toast rather than the usual while or chargrilled which is usually the case with the contraptions!

On checking into our room we found that the bathroom sink was blocked and would not drain. We reported this to reception on our way out to dinner. Returning later that evening we found a large pile of towels underneath the sink. The sink had been unblocked but the plug did not work. Furthermore the water leaked, ran down the pipe onto the floor below - hence the pile of towels. We then found that we could not turn off the bathroom light. Where the switch should have been was a hole in the wall. The bathroom had a frosted glass door so our bedroom was illuminated all night. We reported both problems to reception the following morning and showed them photos of the faults. As it was a Sunday they said nothing could be done, asked if I could email them my photos and offered a change of rooms. As we on our way out, were time limited and were leaving the following morning a change of rooms would not be convenient. On our return to our room that evening we found that the pile of towels had gone, leaving the water to run straight onto the floor. What marvellous customer service. The buffet breakfast was very good.

Checked in before 9pm to realise my bathroom had been left with the remanence of maintenance work (likely drain unblocking) being done on my shower. After multiple failed phone calls to reception i went down to ask for this to be resolved and was assured someone would be up within 5 minutes. After waiting more than than an hour I rang down again and waited a further 30 minutes before someone visited my room and to be offered a room change. Upon arrival at reception I was informed due to system issues a room change would take time and could I sit and wait at nearly 11pm or have a manager clean the room. In the 2 hours of issue, I was offered only an apology. And the manager had to clean the room so I could go to bed at a sensible time during my work trip. The customer service was shocking and I feel dirty in the room as a result. Would never book again.

We recently stayed at this beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. The rooms were very clean, and the beds were super comfy. However, we encountered two minor issues: the room was quite hot, and we couldn't turn the heating down below 18 degrees. Additionally, while the breakfast selection was excellent, make sure to inform the staff if you haven't finished if you go back to the buffet, as they tend to clean the tables as soon as you get up. But, very very minor issues and we will definitely be back again, we had a wonderful stay. Thank you.

The decor was lovely when browsing online and had a classic look about it. This was the reason why we made the decision to book than booking a lower end hotel. When booking and receiving a confirmation email, it would have been helpful to have been informed there were ongoing building works opposite the hotel, so a decision could have been made whether we wanted to cancel, that choice was taken out of our hands. When we checked in online and got to the hotel, we were informed our rooms had been upgraded, which was a nice touch, but they were nowhere near each other! My sister has arthritis and struggles to walk, aided with a crutch and naturally I was worried in case she had an accident and fell. We were only staying for a night and I didn't want to cause a fuss, but again simple communication could have averted this anxiety and worry. The view was unsightly from the bedroom window, so I kept the curtain closed, but the building works could be seen throughout the hotel, which can't be helped. Maybe the use of something to stick on the windows, that would cover part of the window but keep the natural light in would have been resourceful, especially in the dining area as there was also a public pathway. It was a bit difficult to understand how to operate the light switches and other switches, and what they represented. Having a basic manual in the room would have been helpful. I'm a poor sleeper but the bed was the best bed I've ever slept on in a hotel. It was so comfortable, spacious and had very good quality pillows and enough sheets. The room wasn't too hot or too cold and was soundproof. The shower was great, I loved that there was a lot of space to move around in. The customer service could have been better. There was one stand out young woman who worked in the bar and was friendly, engaging and helpful and a gentleman who welcomed us a breakfast.

We booked two executive rooms for an overnight stay. We arrived 20mins before check-in and were told to come back at 3pm as they wont allow check in before that and wouldn't even check to see if the rooms was available earlier. Then come 3pm they had a system breakdown. Probably because everyone turns up at one time. So we didnt get keys till almost 4pm. A dispointing start. We then had dinner booked for 8:30pm but never got seated till 9:30pm. (Even though we wwre told last seating is 9pm) it was an anniversary trip for our parents so was very let down at the service. Very disappointed Gym was out of use Rooms were nice, but the heating/aircon was just doing its own thing. So sleep was very broken. Not at all impressed

On arrival we were allocated room 509 got up there with the luggage and the door wouldn’t open despite going green, back down to reception to be told oh yeah we have a problem with that door you can either have the actual key or another room. We went for the other room not wanting to have to trek up and down again in the heat if the door still didn’t open. Allocated room on 4th floor but only one towel. Tried to call reception but the flash phone system doesn’t work so asked when we went down but the towel never arrived then on getting into bed realised there were stains on the bedding but unable to do anything about it given the time of night and the phone not working. I’d say the hotel is 3* at best, no fridge or coffee maker, bathroom door all broken at the bottom and not a great area, one drunk passed out on the steps to the hotel two on the corner shooting up at 6pm. Not ideal when traveling alone as a female with an 11 year old.

We were at the Clayton hotel, for afternoon tea, [which was a present]. Ambiance - excellent, hotel lovely, restaurant well laid out. Food presentation - very nice. Quality of food - mixed, nice to get different sandwich fillings, but stale mini baguet. Quantity of food - very poor, very small amounts. Service mixed - good attention when we arrived, but they forgot to bring our pot of tea, and never offered us a refill and they also forgot to bring our prosecco. Had to ask them to bring both. Value for money - very poor, just glad we hadn't paid for it. Incidently, really clean, decent toilets, but no hotel car parking.

I booked an afternoon tea for my niece as it was her birthday. My son was coming with us too. On entering the hotel it was beautiful, we had a warm reception and were shown to the restaurant. When we were seated we were shown the menu for our afternoon tea. We were given a choice of either vegetarian or regular. I asked the waiter if we could mix the sandwiches and he repeated, quite flippantly I thought, "vegetarian or regular". We opted for vegetarian. When the tea came out it didn't look appealing and everything was squashed on the platter. The sandwiches looked sloppy, and fell apart when i picked one up and it was worse when i tried to bite into them. The scones were so hard I had trouble cutting into them, and the cakes tasted as though they had been left out all night. My son had to pay for his meal because i had paid for only 2 online. He gave the waitress some money but she didnt return with his change! The best thing about our tea was my cappuccino, and our Proseccos. I will definitely not be recommending this hotel for its restaurant. The 1st photo is the way the food was presented and the 2nd photo is the food we left.

I booked an executive suite … at this place… what a joke.. small , dark and tired …. We had an accident and spilt tea on the bed …. The cleaner would not change the bed as they said they only do it every 3 days…. And you have to request at reception to every day or they won’t clean it or change the towels, I complained at reception… but this was a wasted effort…. I asked for a refund for the remaining part of my stay… so I could try and salvage at least a couple of days of the break. We never ate there but saw others sending food back . If you are staying in Birmingham do yourself a big favour and stay somewhere else, the Clayton is a poorly run below average hotel .

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay with a very nice atmosphere throughout this hotel. The staff were very attentive both at the checking in desk, particularly with Daniela, who was very welcoming and very helpful throughout our stay in making sure we were happy. Also the quality of the dinner was very well cooked and tasty, and we were served by a very cheerful waitress called Mariana from Portugal who was very attentive during our time in the restaurant. We enjoyed the breakfast and were well looked after by Charlotte, we believe her name was. All in all the Hotel was clean to a high standard. We look forward to future visits.

Lovely hotel and nice restaurant. Staff friendly and service very good. Starters of Falafels very good, Nachos were OK. To the main, looked good but not 4 star, in fact I'm aghast that a 4 star hotel would charge £15 for essentially low quality frozen fish. More batter than fish. How hard is it to make a fresh batter and coat a piece of fresh fish. Not that hard. Don't get me started on the tinned mushy peas. Would stay in the hotel again but will be giving the restaurant a wide berth next time. Sorry you need to up your game.

The restaurant is a good sized room with excellent friendly staff. Even though we arrived just before the end of service the restaurant was packed which can only mean that people like the food . We both had the salmon which was very well cooked.

Staff where amazing so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the menu. Food was amazing and cocktails went down a treat. Only criticims are billboards advertising the food and drink offers outside are misleading. My colleagues and I went on a Thursday night which is 50%off steak (Great deal) but when we got in you only got the 50% off if you had 2 courses. Also as connected to the bar that had happy hour advertised until 7pm, this offer couldn't be used in the restaurant which seems silly as that same bar was provided us our drink.

Absolutely beautiful food. The starter platter and flat bread was gorgeous. A pity it was empty. Well worth a visit.
