Cobden Hotel Birmingham

Kontra: Having to pay for breakfast. Having to pay for leasure centre. Pool. Sauna. No way. I've stayed all over the world. Never had to pay. The place is old post war concentration camp dump

Hotel

Pro: Staff and rooms warm

Kontra: the bedroom furniture was trashed the bed and mattress were well beyond sell by date pipes out side the room made a unbelievable racket my room number was 264 in fact the Trip Adviser comments where accurate i wont stay again i would of checked out if my stay had been over two nights. Found Memories of the Hotel it was years ago which bears no resemblance to its current condition

Pro: Plenty of parking and a half hour walk to town.

Kontra: Wasn't clean. Rooms look nothing like they do in the pictures. We were only staying there for a short time but I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Don't expect luxury

Pro: Passable for the discounted £38 I paid so near to Christmas, but in no way worth the indicated price of £80.00

Kontra: Room was tatty & outdated. Toilet cistern was hanging off the wall so whole thing rocked when you flushed, toilet seat was broken. Bathroom sink had a plug with a hole in it so impossible to fill the sink to wash. Hole in the bathroom ceiling had been patched up with a piece of wood that had been pained over to try & get it to match rest of ceiling. Strip light had been replaced with round halogen light leaving a strip of very old wallpaper where the original light had been. Would only recommend if you need somewhere last minute & you can get room discounted. Would NOT stay again.

Rubbish

Pro: The female receptionist was lovely

Kontra: The rooms where unclean. The shower door jammed my child was stuck in there. The plug wouldn't come out of the sink for entire stay.
