Poor!!!

I'll start off be complimenting the reception staff for their efforts, but the Duty Manager showed a complete disregard for guest health and welfare. There was a power cut in the area. Not a thing that the hotel could do about it but the power went off at 2.30 pm, I checked in at 4.15. There was time for me to be contacted and for me to make alternative arrangements. Because of the power outage their was no operational lift, corridor lighting was poor, no power in rooms (so no TV, internet, etc). To make matters worse, because their was no power the cold water pump was unable to circulate water to the rooms. So no toilet or washing facilities until 8.40 pm when a generator was brought in. The only working toilets were on the ground floor (bear in mind that there was no lighting in the corridors to find your way and the lifts weren't working. So anyone with walking difficulties could not access basic hygiene facilities. I discussed this with the Duty Manager, who simply advised that it was out of their hands....a very disappointing response when the hotel could not provide basic hygiene facilities. The electricity came back at some point through the night. Overall, a poor stay and a disappointing response from the Duty Manager

Unfortunately the aircon was not working on the hottest night of the year so far. The windows opened but an inch. Reported to staff but a world weary 'i'll tell maintemnence" was the response.

Really friendly, helpful and diligent reception staff. My room was clean and airy, but the only negative point was the noise coming from the rooms contiguous to mine. I'd recommend this hotel for a short stay and if you're flying from Birmingham airport.

We booked cheap rooms so got the rooms associated with this. Unfortunately we were overlooking the outdoor bar on a night where there had been a wedding so got little sleep. The guy on reception did say that we should have mentioned it and they would have moved us so that was our error. I made a schoolboy mistake which meant that I had to drive home (100 miles) at 2am. The reception team couldn’t have been more supportive to me and my wife and son left behind. Probably wouldn’t stay there again as tricky for evening bag drop but, all in all, an excellent place to stop.

Frequent returning visitors

We stay at the Arden several times every year & will contininue to do so. With summer coming on, however, the Arden faces a long-term recurring problem--lack of air con. The hotel will provide fans upon request, but some rooms do get unbearably hot in summer. It's a major infrastructural problem with no easy solution. Open windows invite in the sound of passing trains...throughout the night. Very good dining--both meals & snacks. Friendly bar. Good casual seating areas. Offers a stay & park option for those flying from B'ham. Easy walk to both NEC & the airport. Highly recommended.
