Guest Reviews
- Karla (9/5): Met our needs simply. - Friendly communication and in person greeting. Location is excellent- few minutes walk from the station and to the majority of places you'd likely visit.
Plenty of space.
Good selection of equipment and toiletries provided.
Lift to get to the floor, great when you have children and luggage. The windows were quite thin, so a little noisy at times. Noise is to be expected, given the location, but wonder if there is a way to reduce it.
Decor needs refreshing in some areas and there were a few lights not working. But overall modern and tidy.
The peephole in the front door was invasive (personal preference) and lack of secondary security method on the door (a chain or similar) would have been appreciated. Especially as a single female with a child.

- Iryna (8/5): Помешкання в центрі - рядом залізничний вокзал, автобусна зупинка, в центрі Чайнатауна. Вулиця має купу кафе, багато з н - Розташування, зручності Шум з вулиці, але це може бути і позитивним - є активне нічне життя на цій вулиці, де розташовано будинок

- Julian (7/5): Good - Location is great, we were working at the theatre all week so was super easy. The main bedroom was comfortable and I slept well. Host was responsive and it was easy to get keys. The shower didn't work very well, in fairness the host did send out a plumber but he was unable to fix the issue due to it requiring a new part. The flat needs a bit of TLC - it served its purpose but it could be nicer.
- Steph (8/5): Very good -
- Dean (9/5): Superb -
- Tahir (9/5): Superb - Location and staff especially mr umer kind hearted very welcoming. Sofa bed a bit
- Nikki (9/5): Birmingham stay - Apartment was good in a great location just want we needed. The service from the team was great Nothing to dislike

- Toni (10/5): Good value for money: - The property was in a great location, very nice decor It wqs a bit chilly and we wasn’t sure how to work the heating,
Although the property was mainly clean, There was nail clippings on the sofa 🤮
- Sanita (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was excellent ❤️ Everything was good
- David (8/5): Great location, great value, great hosts. - Fabulous location, clean and tidy. Great communication regarding picking up the keys. Nothing
- Bonj (7/5): Small hitches soon rectified. Would stay again as the niggles were dealt with promptly. - The location of property was brilliant for what we wanted, a gig at the O2 Academy.
The cleanliness was good.
Well equipped.
The apartment was quiet regarding other residents in the block, although there was a little traffic and passer by noise, but being in the city centre you expect that. Tv functions not easy to work out.
Threadbare towel but owner was apologetic .
No milk or bread or butter left where most do leave you the minimum basic essentials.
The property hadn't been cleaned on our arrival at 3.15 pm, and they needed an extra hr to do so, so we went out locally to eat whilst it was done. The owner did extend our stay from 10am to midday for no extra charge, which we were grateful for.
- Imani (8/5): Very good -
- Tamjir (10/5): Host met us and was lovely and kind, apartment was perfect great stay will be back - Location is perfect
- Lenuta (1/5): Horrible. - It was horrible, the sheets had a giant wet spot, the service was terrible they didn’t reply to messages or to calls when we found the wet spot to sort it out.
- Ashley (5/5): Passable -
- Nadia (10/5): Nice and comfortable stay for me and my family within the city center of Birmingham - We really enjoyed our stay, the apartment was very spacious and comfortable and very close to the city center and transport…I really recommend these accommodation for family
- Craig (7/5): Good -
- Sarah (3/5): Disappointing - one of the worst night's sleeps we've had in years. Outrageous £200 damages deposit - Good location. Spacious Beds were totally unacceptable. Both mattresses were terrible and clearly old - springs into your back. I got 2 hours sleep and it ruined my stay. You should know that the most important element of any stay is how comfortable beds are and should spend the money on replacing these sub-standard and no doubt ancient mattresses. Also, we should have been given two keys - one each. Also, when I returned from dinner, it was very confusing to find the entrance as we arrive by car and the building is named Southside Apartments and not Inners City apartments which is what we booked under.
Finally, I have never had to pay a "damages deposit" of £200 - ridiculous for 2 middle aged parents visiting their children in Birmingham
- Kate (10/5): Clean comfortable apartment brilliant central position ! - Excellent
- Paul (10/5): Location was absolutely spot on! We traveled up for the NEC motorcycle live show and the German Christmas market and the - Location, parking, facilities, cleanliness, the host, communication from the host, ease of access, No need for this box as it was perfect
- Ercie (9/5): It was good value for the money. - The location of the property is amazing. Walking distance from the station. In addition , the owner was very accommodating with our request. None
- Kenny (3/5): I won’t be back - It’s a nice apartment with comfy beds The fridge wasn’t switched on and the freezer had water sloshing about. There was tea and coffee but we weren’t given milk!
The person who checked me in wasn’t very welcoming. He just told me the rules took my card details and left.
- Muhammad (5/5): Passable -
- Anand (10/5): Exceptional - spacious with good amenities and great location
- Dana (9/5): Superb -
- Chukwudi (9/5): No regrets booking this apartment - Very clean and perfect city location Nothing
- Zeeshan (10/5): Exceptional - Actually, I liked everything about everything Mr. Adil is a very cooperative and supportive guy... The parking arrangement is very convenient...
The nearby places are lively and we just loved it.... The mattress was not so comfortable and needs to be replaced...
- Yulan (7/5): Good - Great location, good size room, good communication with the host. Matresse were a bit soft for us, dinning chairs were a bit wobbly. Didn't realise book the stay while the Pride festival was going on, a bit noisy at night (late).
- Lucas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adam (6/5): Amazing for the price and good location - Clean and functional Value for money
- Molly (8/5): Nice apartment in a good location - Great central location. Well equipped for a city stay. The apartment was extremely hot however fans were provided.
- Edward (9/5): Lovely apartment with good proximity to train station and shops. - The property was very well located near the train station and perfect for us as a group of young professionals to stay in while at a conference, staying in an apartment rather than a hotel meant we could make the most of the down time we had together. I think that the host needs to be a bit more upfront about the deposit as this wasn’t mentioned in the description but was £200, however this was refunded promptly
- Gavin (9/5): Great apartment for Birmingham nights out - The apartment was spacious and was well supplied with everything we needed for our stay. It was super close to Birmingham's night life. The person who met us was really friendly and explained how to enter/exit the building using the fob system, as well as how to use the oven. There wasn't really anything.
- Domone (10/5): Location - Location Shower

- Mohd (6/5): Centrally located for family vacation. - Location near bull ring.
Washer and dryer.

Near Tesco and bull ring market to buy groceries for cooking. The bed is too soft.
Hot water is sufficient for 2 pax in the morning.
Only one bathroom for 5 pax.

- Karen (8/5): Very good -
- Cheryl (7/5): Good - The apartment was in a good location and not on a busy street. The onsite parking for just £10 was very handy. The apartment wasn't ready for us on arrival but we were able to leave our belongings and go out for food.

- Alyana (8/5): Very good -
- Nataliya (8/5): generally ok, but the owner need to work under some moments in a flat to make it better - location was very nice and close to train station, the heating worked fine. there were coffee and tea, sugar. would be nice to add salt)) the window we had only in 2 rooms, but in one room the window was blocked and the 3rd room was without window and air conditioning system. so hard to breath while sleeping. the shower staff should be fixed as impossible to take shower not holding it.
- Colin (8/5): Very good - location, size , secure….great meet and greet. bathroom had obviously had a leak previously and still bore the signs/smell of damp.
Once resolved , this would rate a 9/10
- Helen (8/5): Great value apartment in interesting part of the city. - Quiet location tucked away in bustling part of the city, in china town, just a few minutes walk from the O2. Super friendly host met us on time and showed how to access the secure parking. The apartment was spotless and well equipped with all the essentials. The bed was a bit soft for my liking, but I do prefer a very firm mattress, so I’m sure plenty of people would have liked it.
- Hashim (8/5): Good Price, Great Location, Perfect for a catch-up with friends - Absolutely brilliant location - close to China Town, the Bullring and Birmingham Newstreet Station. Really handy to have a local supermarket on the same block, as well as easy access to other amenities. Host provided good quality towels - enough for each guest, as well as hotel-chain quality shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. The apartment also came with tea and coffee, a microwave, kettle and toaster. Full functioning kitchen too so everything for a good stay.
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
