We paid for a superior room, upon arrival the bed was slanted, you could feel every spring in the mattress coming through, no heating in the room, heating not working, shower was cold in the evening, definitely not a superior room!!! I would be ashamed to be advertising this as a superior room!! Definitely will not book this hotel again!!

Let down by broken heating and smelly drains!
On arrival the hotel room seemed fine and clean, despite having to wait quite a long time due to one lift being out of service. Unfortunately when we returned to our room at midnight, the smell of drains was horrendous, I can only assume this was because we left the sink plug open which wasn’t on arrival. Also the room AIRCON was broken it was absolutely freezing. The staff did bring us a very small oil radiator which warmed the room slightly by 7am. We contemplated leaving and going home or finding another hotel which we definitely would have had it not been so late. We had to sleep fully clothed, with a robe on that was in the room. The next day the reception staff was apologetic and had even complained about being so cold themselves, they offered a 20% discount but I will be seeking a full one.. I think it’s appalling that staff are having to work in such cold conditions. The hotel is obviously in need of some maintenance. It’s a shame as the location and bar, etc and even the rooms are nice other than this. Given the circumstances, I feel my stay did not meet the standards I expected from The Cube. I would appreciate it if you could address these issues and provide full compensation for the inconvenience caused.

Very friendly staff. Great breakfast. However the hotel could use some investment. Carpets and furnishings are starting to look a little shabby. But still a good place to stay.

Chosen for my daughter’s graduation at the University Of Birmingham and for the onsite restaurant to celebrate afterwards. -Main issue is parking. I have 2 elderly parents who both have a blue badge but parking is abysmal and we struggled with that. -Only 1 lift was working which was an issue (1mobility scooter etc), so we had to wait long times to navigate floors as walking not an option. -No heating in hotel. Not a problem for us but my parents found it cold despite being given portable heaters. -Our balcony room was lovely but sadly above the bed was a collection of contact lenses on the ceiling where previous occupants have “flicked” them up. In conclusion, it’s a lovely hotel but there were issues that took the shine of what was a lovely break away.

Sewage smell and tired rooms!
We stayed at the cube through a recommendation from friends but we were thoroughly disappointed. The room had good views of Birmingham but the smell of sewage in the room was horrific. The room itself was tired with bits falling off and cracks everywhere. The cleanliness of the bathroom was ok for our use but wouldn’t use the shower as it was dirty. Overall, it was ok but we won’t be going back.

Not the Greatest Stay
It wasn’t great. The carpets throughout are really dirty with stains all over them especially outside our room on the 23rd floor. There is no air conditioning or it’s not working so it was so hot in the room. The staff on reception have no idea what they’re doing. The breakfast on the 25th floor was good but at £18.95 it should be.

Cold and tired.
Chose this boutique described hotel for a long weekend in Birmingham. The reception is very underwhelming, lots of light off, unmanned counters and very cold. The Receptionist was lovely and swiftly checked me in to room 2409. The room was extremely tired, cracked tiles in the bathroom, poor up keep of the shower (black mould and mastic coming away) and very cold. There was a small plug it oil radiator in the room. I plugged it in and adjusted the thermostat before going out. When I returned it was the same. In the morning I was freezing and spoke to the receptionist, Patty, who was very helpful and moved me to another room. Which was a massive improvement and warm. She gave me a coupon for a drink in the bar. When the room was made up they didn’t replace coffee, biscuits or tissue. Aside from Patty, all the staff looked so unhappy and gave such lacklustre service. In check out the receptionist told me there was a charge from the bar, I had only redeemed the coupon issued for moving rooms. He could offer no explanation or details on the charge and very begrudgingly dismissed me when I said that I had nothing to pay. The area is at the back of the Mailbox which feels like its glory has well faded since it opened with Harvey Nichols in.
