The hotel is lovely abs the room spacious however on arrival I went up to my room to find the aircon not working. I called down to reception to be told the,aircon in the hotel had s problem and fans were placed in my room, this was not told to me prior to arrival or on check in. The issues with the fans: were 1 fan blew warm air, the other was so loud I had to sleep with a noise cancelling headset on! Such a shame I stay at the cube frequently for work but will not book again. If aircon diesnt work guests should be emailed and given the option to cancel with a full refund. Disappointing

The Cube is meant to be a 4-star hotel. It really isn't. First impressions of the check-in lobby were that it was shabby and dusty.
We had pre-paid for the hotel and stayed in room 2419. Upon check-in, we were informed that the air conditioning in the entire building was not functioning. We were told that they had engineers trying to fix it all day. The check-in desk person said that the hotel apologised for this. He did not offer a discount for the inconvenience, nor apologise for not warning us, and he did not offer us a fan to cool down the room. The room's windows do not open.
He then asked for the £50 pre-authorisation on our credit card. This is an outrageous practice in which the hotel holds the £50 until check-out, but the money is not automatically refunded to the account. On our way to our room, the decor in the lift, the corridors, and doors is tired, shabby and unclean. The room was the same, though the cleanliness was a bit better. Our room had a massive steel pillar right next to the left-hand side of the bed where you can knock your head trying to get in and out of bed, so how this passed health& safety is a mystery.
The air-con had not been fixed for the duration of our stay, so it was very uncomfortable. The mattress was incredibly soft - it was like sleeping on a trampoline.
Breakfast was okay but not a 4-star quality. There was not a single person at check-out, you just left your card keys on an empty desk where anyone can pick it up - insecure.

Absolutely shocking experience - DO NOT STAY. We arrived for our booking to be told there was no air con and no windows in our room, but told it was possible to cancel for a full refund. We looked at the room and saw quickly that the fan was poorly quality and given there were no windows it would be impossible to stay. We were in the city for a wedding just 2 hours post check in and needed to now find new accomodation and change. The receptionist was incredibly unhelpful and said that it was our responsibility to find an alternative hotel and would not be able to use their facilities to get ready for the wedding and advised us to use the restaurant toilets as we “were no longer guests of the hotel”. After our embarrassing changing in the toilet cubicle antics we then had to find another hotel at great expense last minute, in the city, on pride weekend so prices were much higher! I understand technical faults happen, but the way we were treated by the staff was absolutely shocking.

Extremely uninterested girl on the check in desk.


Waited a few minutes for someone to arrive at the desk. It did sound like the reception staff were having a good laugh though in the back area whilst I waited.


Bad mannered and poor service. It was like she was doing me a favour checking me in.

The check in was great, no problems at all, very helpful staff, it all went wrong when we came back after our night out, the TV didn’t work, spoke to the staff member at reception, all she said was there was not maintenance at that time, on returning to my room I noticed that there was no air conditioning, the hotel had put 2 electric fans in the room. Now this room was on the 24th floor and had no widows that can be opened, so you have all the heat from the other floors coming up to the 24th floor and the put 2 fans in the room to move warm air around an already very warm room, in the morning the staff where very dismissive of the fact the A/C was not working, “yes we know it’s not working but we have put some fans in the room”. So the don’t have any maintenance on site in the evening and they are not concerned about the air conditioning not working, the trip was very close the being saved by the breakfast, but no even though the breakfast was very good the bad points still marked the trip as a bad one, I will not stay in this hotel again

Location is excellent, short walk from the New Street Station and near many bars and restaurants. Also a lovely 10 minute walk from the Utilita arena along the canals past more bars and restaurants. Room was nice and breakfast was good. Great views from the restaurant. Had bottles of water in the room and tea/coffee making facilities. Along with iron and hairdryer. Would definitely return again if going to the Utilita.

Room was spacious but the AC wasn’t working which was fine as they provided a fan. But we were offered a free drink. The fridge didn’t work which could be an issue for people who need it for health reasons but they had someone to fix it straight away, sadly it wasn’t fixable. The bar was great and plenty of seating. Breakfast was massive and really tasty but the coffee was like warm. Had a nicer one back in the room.

So we turned up to be told that the air conditioning had been Brocken for at least two weeks and our room was like a sauna.
We were taken to our room as we would be prepared to stay but it really was so hot that we couldn’t breathe .
Why weren’t we told of this before hand ?
The girl on reception was very helpful and advised us and helped find an alternative accommodation and sent an email to hotels.com explaining the situation.
None of this was our fault.
Finally somebody from hotels. Com phoned us at 10pm but by then we were in the utilita arena at a concert so couldn’t possibly hear . We were then called back at 2.30am can you imagine what went through our heads at that time of night especially with frail elderly parents .
WE managed to phone you back at 9.30am and got cut off before we could speak to anyone .
This is very concerning and in my opinion very unprofessional.
We have also been left out of pocket for something that was completely out of our control and could have easily been sorted out before hand …..,,,,

First time staying at the Cube Hotel, and the location is fabulous. The room was spacious and bright, with a great view from the 24th floor.

The room was well-appointed, with everything you'd need (safe, ironing board, mini fridge, bottled water and cookies).

The air conditioning didn't seem to work, and there was a column heater in the room to compensate.

The standard of the bedding didn't match the rest of the room, which was disappointing - a saggy mattress and nothing but overstuffed firm pillows. It was OK, but I had expected better.

Several issues in the bathroom, which I reported to reception on check out - a constant drip from the shower, a leak under the basin, and the drain in the shower was almost fully blocked, which meant I had to turn the shower on and off to make sure it didn't flood the bathroom.

The restaurant on the 25th floor (Marco Pierre White) was fabulous, and the cooked-to-order breakfast was a standout.

Despite a few niggles, I would definitely stay again.

Breakfast was a little disapointing. The Cadbury waffles - the waffles was microwaved and chewy.
The rooms - the aircon was broken and no prior notice of rhis before stay with the opportunity to switch hotels. This was very uncomfortable. It wasnt mentioned at check in either.
We had to ask for an extra fan for the room, which broke, with a replacement requested from reception each time. This was 3 or 4 teips down to reception on floor 7 feom floor 24 each visit. It felt like we were in the lift or waiting for it more than actually in the room.
The shower was also broken. The overhead rainfall shower head had so little watwr presure it bearly even wet your hair. The hand held shower head at waist height more water came out of the handle than the shower head also making it hard to get clean.
The staff were helpful and attentive, but no consession offered for the inconveniences.

The check-in was quick and easy. The room was lovely and big and had a lovely view looking out over Birmingham. The extras ordered were loved by my wife as they were a surprise for her. The bathroom had a bit of damage but it did not matter ie damage to bottom of bathroom door, a tiny bit of paint peeling off the wall. The room was very clean.

Booked a 1 night stay and saw reviews about the air con being broken figured it would be fixed by the time I got there a month or so later. I was wrong

On check in the friendly receptionist let me know the air con wasn't working & I could have a fan if needed. Having stayed in some incredibly hot and not air conditioned hotels in the past I figured how bad could it be. It was bad

The room was baking. The huge windows that give the amazing views also act as massive radiators and the heat in the room was stifling. The sun obviously hits the windows all day although when I arrived around 4pm the sun had moved off the glass.

To the credit of the receptionist my request for a quiet room had been met and I was in a small corridor with only one other room I was able to wedge the door open to let some of the heat out.

There were 2 fans, one was broken (plug snapped) when I asked for a replacement I was told they would see what they could do, but saw no replacement nor did I get a call to say they didn't have a spare

The room was tired, carpet stained, walls & bathroom dirty

Luckily I was visiting for a gig so the room had cooled a bit by the time I got back

I slept well & the room was quiet. Check in/check out were easy & the staff I met were friendly

Overall I was disappointed. I could have booked elsewhere for less but wanted to treat myself for a special occasion.

I won't be back

The right hand side lift was broken but they both shared the same call button and it was stuck on the RHS lift, meaning we couldn't get into our rooms properly without finding a staff member which was difficult considering it was 00:30. Additional i had no hot water for a shower. Not worth the price i paid and definitely not what i would epect to see from a 4 star hotel

Great value and 5 minutes walk to carpark.

Roof sky bar on 25th floor is very good with fantastic views !!!!!! When it’s open!!!!!

Came back from a show at the Hippodrome Theatre (15 minutes away) and the bar was closed, this was 11pm on a Thursday evening.

Not happy and nowhere else to go locally.

Car park did not work. This lead to us having to park outside while we run into reception to ask how this worked. You are not allowed to park right outside the hotel which is not sign posted which results in us having to run from reception as we received a parking ticket. Had to park in a different car park which again we were not made aware you can pre book this with 20% off. They also don't explain that you don't need a ticket and therefore we ended up having to pay for the 2 parking charges costing £40!

The spa ect was not explained to us and what they had to offer.

The posh restaurant which we booked for on the Sunday especially for the roast at 5pm was shockingly bad! We rushed to get there on time for 5 only when we sat down we were not given the sunday menu so after 10/15 minitues of waiting only until we went up and ask were we told we cant have this and that we could only have 2 course and was limited to what we could have. Also to mention we wanted 10 minutes before a drinks menu was given to us. We ended up walking out and going elsewhere and staff didn't even seem to care or try and stop us from leaving or offer an alternative.

No temperate control in room, it was very cold) Called reception to be told it’s been turned off in all rooms)

Very loud music coming from the floor above until 1am, no advanced warning of this at the time of booking.

No hot water in the room after 9pm, again told by reception that it gets turned off and would be back on in the morning.

All in all an extremely disappointing experience.

We will not be returning to the Cube.

did not get clean towels, waited and notifed twice.

would never stay there again, waste of money, would have been better off at a premier in and would have saved some money as well.

Bedding was very clean and comfortable.
Sky bar being closed at 10.00pm was really disappointing as it was a big reason for us returning to the hotel again. We got in at 10.06pm and could not get served. We were not impressed with Our experience on this occasion.

On check in we were given a leaflet, on it said that there may be events on the weekend with some possible noise until late. We unfortunately were given a room that was directly under the dj table. After that was over other residents decided to continue the party in their rooms, some even decided to run up and down the corridors. At 4 am a woman started screaming at a man in the corridor until both were removed by the police apparently. If you want an eventful night it’s great but if you actually wanted to sleep forget it! Will be looking for a quieter hotel on our next visit to Birmingham.

Awful stay

Paid £20 for “romantic petals” and swan towels on the bed which looked cheap with fake petals that you will clearly reuse

Bed uncomfortable with springs poking out

Extractor fan loud. Asked reception how to turn it off. They first said you can’t, then said it would turn off after the light was turned off. They sent a man up to have a look. The man smelt of weed, flushed the toilet and turned the shower on. He had no idea how to turn the fan off so said he would ring someone and come back. He left the shower running and never returned.

Could not sleep due to sound of fan and the room being full of light as the curtains didn’t meet giving huge gaps for light to enter and flood the room.

Awful experience. Would never stay again. Ruined anniversary.

Hotel staff make you feel really welcome!

The staff were amazing every part of the hotel. So kind and lovely to guests greeting them at every opportunity. The bar atmosphere is so engaging and the dj was brilliant. The views are splendid!

Unfortunately the Air con was flashing error upon entry but room at that time felt ok but by time I got back late the room was so cold and there was no one on reception to ask for help to see to the error so I had to use the tiny electric radiator which did not warm up the whole room.
Having shower caps available would have been so useful.

I have stayed in The Cube on quite a frequent basis but i fear my most recent will be the last.

What has happened at The Cube? my first room was ...... lets say grubby not a good start with the dirty footprints on the bathroom floor but the cables hanging from the back of the TV just gave the impression that nobody cares, but the final straw for that room (which is in effect a glass box with no opening windows was the failure of the air conditioning leaving the room like a sauna.

On request for an alternative room I was told it wouldn't make a difference because none of the rooms had working air-con. But at least I would have a TV........ I thought but no, this one would not switch on. By now I just couldn't be bothered anymore. So if you like an evening of wondering around the city and then back to a hothouse to watch youtube on your phone this place would be fantastic..... for everyone else, give it a miss.

NO AC in the Hotel - Rooms are a SAUNA.

The hotel had no AC and the room was like a sauna. There were 2 fans but all they did was blow warm air. Went to Reception to complain and was told all rooms were like that due to facing the sun. Was offered a refund and told to find alternative accomodation which wasnt great service. Then I was told that the Hotel hasnt had AC in the rooms for 2 years and that explained it.

Will never come back here, there should have been a disclaimer on the website at time of booking as I would have arranged an alternative hotel.
