The room was nice and tidy and ideal for my solo stay. The location is great for train travel as it is a one minute walk from New Street station.
The check in was quick and easy.
All in all good value for money for my one night stay.
Having a twin room for my teenage daughter and myself should have a slightly more private shower area, it was quite awkward! A double room would be understandable for such visibility but not twin!
The ‘breakfast’ that was included that is usually £8.50 per head was appalling and I was not the only customer surprised! The Orange juice was sweetened squash, no cooked food (breakfast is not described anywhere online or in any booking information so unfortunately it’s assumed that cooked food would be available, I rang in advance to ask what time breakfast started, and mentioned my daughter liked a hot brekkie when we visit Birmingham for hospital appointments, but was not told even at that point that no cooked food would be available), cardboard bread that was being liberally manhandled (no tongs) cereal smelled old, bowls of yogurt were dried at sides, fruit bowls also drying out on top and the only thing I could stomach was a cup of tea that tasted like the coffee/hot water machine had never been cleaned. I left with an empty stomach, and my daughter ate a croissant. Not worth paying for so it was luckily included, although not so lucky for the paying customers.
Just a few steps to birmingham coach station. For solo traveller,be careful if you arrive at midnight because the road to the hostel is dark and no people on the road. Except for the weekend there is a bar and few drunk people. The hostel is nice and the room is comfortable except if you have chinese roomate that always make a noise at night. Locker is available and make sure you have your own padlock. Wifi conmection very good,the lady at the counter also very nice and helpful.
Very basic budget hotel, but good value for money. Clean and perfect location for the airport. Friendly staff. 8th floor room facing the airport, good sound insulation with the window closed, but got disturbed by aircraft in the early hours with the window open (hot night). Window blind wasn't working properly and the top cover fell off hitting me on the head in the way down, no serious injury though. I reported it to reception on the way out.
I stayed at Beckbury House for 5 nights and had a very good experience. The service was excellent . Everything was well organized and comfortable during my stay. I especially liked how clean the entire place was – the rooms and common areas were always very tidy. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I would definitely recommend Beckbury House to others.
