Paragon Hotel - Birmingham

Great staff,very friendly. Room was clean and tidy,t.v stations could be updated,no sky news or sports in room.Bed was not comfortable,could do with changing the mattress.But overall was satisfied,would stay there again.

This hotel looks good in the pictures, but is more like a jail when you see it in person... The hallways are dirty and the rooms have been painted so many times that all you can smell is paint... There is no wi-fi in the rooms. The hallways have firedoors every few feet that are not wide enough to get luggage through and there are no bell men... I really […] hated it! Les mer

Location suited us as we were attending a funciton there. Room was good value in comparision to the advertised walk in rate; but it did not include breakfast - any budget hotel would include for that rate. We had breakfast in the Bull Ring (15minutes), leaving our car in the safe parking provided by the hotel. The room was adequate, but could be cleaner […] and quieter considering I was travelling with my son. Had to make several complaintsabout outside noise (drunken/loud music from nxt door room and smashing bottles in kitchen under our window). The hotel should have been more considerate. Les mer

Its quite an old hotel, but the staff were friendly and helpful. The wireless internet is free and its a 15-20minute walk to the city centre. The room was clean and I ran ran out of hot water in the shower.

Checked into the hotel and very satisfied with my room, 2 very comfy beds and breakfast although 6.95 extra was spot on and plenty of food on offer.

NIce looking hotel, very good restaurant, but the bed was awful, I could feel every spring in the bed. Check room first

i arrived at the hotel at approximately 9pm and had a warm welcome. i had to change my room initially due to my room having no internet so i was moved to the 2nd floor (if you need the internet make sure you are placed on either the 1st or 2nd floors) i entered the room and was pleased to find a dirty sock on the floor! ok i can forgive that i suppose! anyway […] i told the duty manager when i went down for some food and buy my breakfast for the following morning, he apologised and thought it would be funny to tell me that when he checks the rooms he pretends to find £2 so the cleaners feel bad, great still got the sock in my room! so after a quiet night with constant banging of my windows from the wind and a draft going through the room i was awoken buy my wake up call, i went and had a shower and admired the falling plaster and damp that was on the ceiling in the bathroom. i went down for breakfast. room looked great, and that was it. i helped myself to a great british fry up, i filled my plate with some of the food on offer and sat to eat, had some juice and as i started to eat some of the breakfast tasted a bit "funny", i though it was the juice mixing with the food. i couldn't eat all of my breakfast as i was starting to feel a bit odd. i went back to my room and collected my items and checked out. caught a taxi and made my way to my meeting in the city centre. i got to my destination and had to rush to the toilet and threw up for approximately 10 mins. i knew i had food poisioning! what a great way to make a first impression at my meeting. be careful if you wish to stay here, it could be a lovely hotel but i would never stay here again.

The hotel is quite old but has an interesting history to it, so those history buff might find it interesting. The room was ridiculously tiny..one could barely navigate among the 2 single beds. The bathroom had mold on the ceiling.

We treated ourselves to an overnight hotel & shopping spree. The hotel is a beautiful Victorian building with lovely stained glass skylights above the bar and restaurant. It has been recently painted in tasteful muted colours. The staff were friendly and helpful and my 13 year old daughter and I felt welcomed. The centre is not far but we drove and […] may not have enjoyed walking back at night. Les mer

I have stayed at the Paragon Hotel on a number of occassions and always find the staff courteous and willing to help whereever possible. The rooms are basic but fine for a one or two night city break - or as we tend to visit - for the Birmingham City football home matches! Location is excellent for the city center - it is walkable however the hotel […] is only a 2 minute walk from a very frequent bus route. The location of the hotel is also excellent to find from the M6 and the undercover secure carparking is an absolute bonus. Overall I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a cheap stay in Birmingham within a short distance of the main shopping area. We will definately be returning soon. Les mer

1. When you walk into the Paragon Hotel Reception and ask the manager, "do you think it would be safe to leave my car on the road outside the hotel?" and he says "yes, we never have any car crime round here unless somebody leaves a laptop or mobile phone in sight", don't listen to him. Pay the £5 a night car park fee. Trust me, the car park fees work […] out cheaper than the excess charge from your insurance company. Digbeth isn't a nice place. 2. If you are someone that would list 'sleeping' as one of your prefered hotel requirements, ask for a room towards the back of the building. 3. For the love of god, don't book a single room, unless you are looking to recreate the feel of being inprisoned in a local jail. Staff were nice though. Les mer

I liked the building, my room, and I also felt the service was wonderful. The combination of these with the price made for a great value. For the price it would unreasonable to expect opulence but for a quiet night of sleep and a clean room complete with tea kettle and shampoo packets I was charmed and will probably use the hotel again in the future. I […] was also delighted to see how well and happily the staff assisted some blind patrons who were staying there. Nothing awkward and everything friendly in their demeanour of assistance. Unfortunately, this is not always the case - but this team was wonderful. Les mer

Waal !!!!!!!!! Ours was a romantic getaway and it was our first holiday together we really enjoyed our stay at the hotel cant fault it at all, we are so pleased we chose Paragon Hotel , staff were very helpful with everything we wanted . Very convenient location just about 10 minutes walk to Bullring . Will definately book Paragon Hotel again without […] any second thoughts , the room was very clean and we were quite comfortable . It holds special memories of us so yes we will definately come back and recommend it to all our friends . Ian and Pam Les mer

Had a really good stay at the hotel, staff were friendly and very Helpful. Had a room on 4th floor, when you got out of lift onto the floor, there was a bit of a horrible smell but that soon went. The room was clean and very comfortable, sheets and towls were changed the 2 days of my stay. Will be staying again on my next visit.

Handy location - easy walk to the city centre and the sights of Digbeth (Custard factory, Green Man) are on the way. Beautiful red brick Victorian building (with dragons on the turrets!). Have stayed many times and keep going back because they offer such amazingly good value deals. We had a double room for two with breakfast for just under £50! Nice […] buffet breakfast (and they cooked veggie sausages to order). I did hear one person bemoan the lack of "real" coffee but I don't drink coffee and they had a green tea option (which I do drink) so I was happy. Les mer

This hotel is not for the faint hearted .... In desperate need of a upgrade / refurbishment

Down stairs reception and bar area was nicely presented. The room was comfortable and the staff are friendly. The only unusual thing I found was my room did not have a shower so had to have a bath each night.

Upon check in we asked if the bar was open to a response 'i don't know'. Got to the bar and waited 15 minutes before just going to a local bar. The en-suite bathroom had a lot of mould/damp in it but it did overall did the job it was intended to.

I have used Paragon before and would definitely use it again. Ok so it's not right in the centre of town but for the price would say excellent value. I would rate the staff as excellent especially Emily who was there when we checked out. All other staff there fabulous too.

It has really classic quality to it. Compared to most of the hotels you find in U.K , it really has the feeling of a real hotel. By that i mean you can tell it was intended for that propose. I really liked the hotel over all, plus they were in process of remodeling so I believe there will be a lot of improvements on the way that will make it better […] for the customer. One of the problems i had is that there was a frequent interruption of the internet services, which could be problematic if one is on a business trip. The location can be an issue because it is a bit out of the way, which could be an issue if you are not driving, but if you are driving they have their own parking lot which is a plus in Birmingham, UK. Over all, it was worth it because the rate off balanced some of its defects. Plus the people there are very helpful and really friendly. Les mer

I stayed here with a friend after reading the reviews I was a little apprehensive but the room was really nice, i stayed on the 1st floor where the rooms are a higher quality than the other floors, the staff were extremely nice and very very helpful they also book taxis for you so you dont get ripped off by local taxi drivers, the hotel is minuets from […] everything the bull ring, china town (some good restraunts), the hippodrome, the gay village (nice safe place to go out if your not used to city's straight or gay), some good rock clubs, the train station anything anyone could be interested in if they were staying, I will defiantly be staying here again after experiencing the horrors of the Britannia there is no comparison this hotel is far superior and around the same price was defiantly worth while spending the extra £10 to have some where nice to go back too, there's some shops just around the conner too (good for cheap booze before a night out) only thing i will say is the area the hotel is not the best (some small industrial buildings and residential flats) infact i was worried when i first arrived but after a day i realised it was actually an ok safe place.

I couldn't fault this hotel. Travelled up from London, Our room was small, but very modern and comfortable. I would definately recommend this hotel if you're looking for a cheap stay near city centre. I enjoyed my time so much, i have already booked my next stay.

I chose this hotel because it was cheap and close enough to walk into Birmingham (which we did during the day but we got a cab in the evening). I was originally given a room that had not been serviced since the previous guest. I received an apology and a different room. Luckily we came back to the hotel in the early hours. The music at the party in […] the hotel stopped at 2am. If we had been back much earlier we wouldn't have slept (it was Christmas season). We arrived for breakfast at about 9am and they were running out of items, which were perfectly stocked as breakfast finished (at 10am). There were plastic cups for the fruit juice which was a bit unusual. Free car parking was great and I could leave my car during the day of our departure, which was much appreciated. Hotel well decorated. Les mer

Paragon was a really nice hotel was a pleasure to stay in a hotel with character. just like hotels used to be as there aren't many of them left these days. Room was clean, very comfortable, staff pleasant and more than helpful. would defo recommend, we will most certainly stay there again.

Paragon hotel is in my view a excellent hotel not far out of the city center. Staff very polite and good quality room. Only downside is the beds are very uncomfortable think the mattress need changing

Good value hotel, would use again and recommend. Try the Spotted Dog down the road, lovely old fashioned pub.

Having stayed here in the past, I knew the location was convenient to get to city centre, yet had free street parking and the hotel was a bit tired butr perfectly functional. It has been moderately refurbiished since my last stay and I was very impressed for the price I paid. The only downside was that the reception staff were not willing to get us […] a drink from the bar when we got in at around midnight as I would hev expected from many similar hotels that I use. Les mer

I'v stayed at this hotel many times before. This visit was no different to any others i've had. Service was excellent and room was clean and comfortable. At check-in. a standard room was unavailable as they had not been cleaned yet so we had a free upgrade to a superior room. The first room was noisy as it was next to a boiler room. we requested for […] a change and expected to be down graded to a standard room we originally booked but we were transferred to a quiet superior, free of charge. Cannot fault this hotel and i will always choose this as my first choice when in birmingham. Les mer

The hotel itself seemed like it may have been quite grand 'in it's day'. It's still quite ornate and elegant, but not in the greatest part of town - in the middle of a trading estate (although there are a few local friendly pubs within a few minutes walk and a chippie right next door!) but it's an easy 15-20 minute walk into the centre of town (or a […] few quid in a taxi). The hotel also has a bar and cash point, which came in handy. My single room was about what I expected - single bed, shower, kettle and small TV, but it did have Sky Sports and a couple of other Sky Channels and was perfectly comfortable! Very good value for the money. As far as budget hotels go, I would say this is a really good option and would definitely stay again! Les mer

The hotel was not spectacular, but for the prices I was happy when I first arrived. Reception and bar are nice. My room was far from the pictures, being very small and a bit worn, but did the job OK. The shower did not look too clean though. Since I was just getting up and driving to another hotel the next morning I skipped the shower. All in all not […] bad too...EXCEPT... The walls and door provided no sound dampening. I was woken regularly throughout the night by drunken groups coming and going. I was just opposite the lift. If you stay here request a room at the end of the corridor, and if you have an early morning and need a good night's sleep stay elsewhere. Les mer

This is very handy for central Birmingham, comfortable, clean and very good value for money. Don't expect to get served at the bar, however, as there were never any staff on duty.

the hotel is outdated and grubby. my room was not that clean and the bed was extremely uncomfortable I had an accessible room which was hard to manoeuvre around, the toilet was at an angle and difficult to use. The TV had a very poor signal, and the so called superior toiletries etc in the superior rooms were the same as used in the standard rooms. […] The dinner menu is poor and limited and there are no healthy choices on the menus. This is more of a bed and breakfast than a hotel and it's only redeeming feature is the cooked breakfast and the cheap prices for rooms one can get on the internet Les mer

This hotel is what it says on the box, Central location and value for money,All extra luxury costs, it s a real value for money hotel,Rooms are basic but clean, more personal than Ibis ,Formula 1 etc,3 rd time to stay there .

We were impressed when arriving at the hotel, only a 15 min walk to the bull ring and also the Alex theatre. We didn't expect much from the hotel due to the extremly cheap price, it is a very average hotel but what can you expect when you pay so little. So we thought great, cheap hotel great location. That was until we can back after a show we went […] to see, our room walls could have only been made from plasterboard, we could hear everything! There must have been a party or something but we didn't get to sleep until after 5 am. No memebers of staff did anything to control the noise it was the worst night i have ever spent in a hotel! So if your looking for a cheap hotel with a great location, pick this one just make sure to take ear plugs just in case! Les mer

Not what i expected and would not stay there again as there are a lot more cheaper and nicer hotels close by. The hotel is situated in the middle of a council estate and the rooms are very dull and small. There was no food or drinks available at 10pm from the bar and breakfast was not option.
