The Jacobean Hotel

Went with friends to the Jacobean to take advantage of their lunchtime offer. We were delighted with the quality of the food ordered from a small but varied menu and potion size was impressive. Everyone enjoyed the experience and we will certainly be going back for more.

A definite improvement since the last time I stayed here. Clean room, nice, fresh white towels, and good value for weekday, business stop-overs. My only constructive criticism would be to suggest they cook the breakfasts individually, (as under the 'old' regime). The bacon is obviously cooked en masse, and cremated. The fried bread was just the same. Easy fix, if the management wanted to change this.

I stayed for one night due to an early flight at Birmingham Airport. On arrival I was given a my room with limited information ( in fact non) on wifi, restaurant times etc but I thought there maybe info in the room. No just a menu, I was very disappointed when getting to my room that it didn’t look like the pictures advertised. It was freezing cold and the smell when entering the bathroom was awful. The room was clean so I thought I would make a coffee to warm me up but it looked like something was frowning in the bottom of the kettle so didn’t risk it. I don’t like putting negative reviews but from the smell of paint in reception I can only pressure they are refurbishing parts of it. I didn’t feel like the woman on reception was warm friendly or approachable and didn’t look interested or professional, I also asked if I could have a wake up call but she said she would write note for the person who stays in the building overnight. They could not have called me as there wasn’t a phone in the room and he didn’t knock the door, he was cleaning the bar when I left at 3.30am.
