I'd racked my mind for something a bit special for my wedding night and only considered the rotunda when spotted it on trip advisor. It hadn't even crossed my mind before when I'd been looking at expensive birmingham suites. Great choice. For the price it was excellent in comparison and the management were great for giving me a cheeky upgrade... More

This is a superb aparthotel!! I cannot fault this at all. Location is perfect, opposite the bullring and two minutes from New Street Station. It is also a pleasant walk from the ICC. The apartment is very well apportioned and very comfortable and I love the views from the room. I cannot wait to visit again. Highly recommended!!!

These serviced apartments are in the iconic Rotunda, right next to the Bullring shopping centre. The rooms are good with great views over the city. The windows are a little tricky to open and it can be surprisingly windy up on the 19th floor. We had a mini apartment which was fine for 2 people for up to a week... More

Recently stayed for one night in the Mini apartment as part of a 24 hour visit to see a gig. As a fan of apartments for such stays, this definitely beats some other experiences we have in London and Manchester! The location suited us - just 5 minutes from places to eat, parking, supermarket (for essentials) and venue we were... More

Stayed here on business a few weeks ago. Located close to the Bull Ring and the train station. Easily located and check in a breeze. Was kindly upgraded free of charge and the apartment was stunning. I normally stay at the Malmaison and the Du Vin, but this experience was so good, that I will always check on availability here... More

Really liked the whole 'apartment ' idea. I love to make my own food. Stayed on the 19th floor - the view could have been fantastic, but it was of Birmingham sadly. There should be more of these. Really helpful reception staff.

We stayed in the quad room on the 18th floor on new year's eve. The view of the city lit up at night is worth the money in itself. Everything you could need or want is in the room and if there is something missing the hotel is smack band in the middle of the town centre. A few minor... More

Amazing experience! Panoramic views of Birmingham from a luxury apartment in the City’s central shopping area. Well equipped in terms of layout, gadgets, toiletries, tea towels etc – we knew we just needed to search for anything we needed in the spacious apartment and that it would be there – finding the frying pan was the best challenge and part...

I was made extremely welcome by the staff at the Rotunda and everything worked well with the arrangements. The accommodation was just what I needed for work, rest and play (although I let the Chelsea team do all the playing!).
