PROS: The bedroom’s clean and has storage. There was space to store my bike. Stuart allowed me to use the washing machine (though not his powder). The sensor-activated lights are helpful after dark. CONS: The ‘City Centre Views’ are completely obscured by condensation between the bedroom’s double-glazing. Stuart’s belongings cover every surface, so there’s nowhere to sit. The bathroom’s looking tired and two taps need mending. Having showed me in, Stuart was monosyllabic for the rest of my stay.

Great location so close to The Alex and The Hippdrome, amazing views and lovely comfy bed. What more could you need. Thank you
12th Mar 2025
Thanks for your review Martin see you again soon.
Great location, a short walk to the hippodrome, but a little pricey for what it is.
7th Mar 2025
Thanks for your review ….. a little pricey for what it is ? £40 per night in Birmingham city centre 5 mins walk to the theatre. I’m guessing there were no cheaper digs in this location I am sure if you speak to the Radisson hotel they may have a broom cupboard for £20 a night unbelievable
Thanks so much for hosting - excellent location for ICC and transport & really friendly host - 5*****stars!

Great location from the city centre!
21st Sep 2023
Stuart was lovely, was great place to stay super close to the theatre, could see it from the window. The lobby entrance to the building had a weird smell but obviously not the hosts fault. Would stay again
27th Jul 2023
Great digs in a great location (close to the station, theatre and city centre) and Stuart was a lovely host. Would definitely stay again if I was back in Birmingham.

Great location, very cosy space to spend 5nights when working at the Hippodrome.
12th May 2023
Great digs at a reasonable price and can easily be shared with another company member. Lovely living room. 31 floors up though, so be warned if you don't do lifts!
10th May 2023
Stuart what can I say had a fantastic week at the flat again till the next timex

12th Mar 2023
Great digs, a little cold in the first week but it was very cold outside so cant really be helped by the host.

Splendid location and the flat was clean and comfortable. Would stay again.
14th Nov 2022
Stuart was very welcoming, bedroom and lounge lovely. Kitchen bathroom a bit basic but do the job. Just a note to anyone not comfortable with heights you are on the 31st floor!! 5 minute walk to venue .many thanks 🙏
7th Nov 2022
Nice flat, super close to the Alex. Stuart was really helpful! Would book again
31st Oct 2022
Excellent for Hippodrome. I ended up having the place to myself which was great. Could have done with some soap in the bathroom and sponges to do washing up and the bed had a big dip in the middle but over all it was ok. Thanks!
26th Oct 2022
Hi
I don’t provide toiletries in with the cost of your booking and with Covid-19 shared soap is not ideal
Washing up sponges should be under the sink and there was a wobbly support which has now been fixed
VERY close to the theatres which is great, however the flat is in need of a refurb. The building feels unsafe at times and the flat still had the hosts clothes in the drawers. Has most things you’d need. Expensive for what it is.
18th Oct 2022
You can’t beat the location of these digs. However it’s just not worth it for me. I stayed in room 1 and the bed was very uncomfortable/broken, you would roll into the centre. The price is very expensive for what you get and it needs some TLC.
18th Oct 2022
Lovely place, very close to the theatre!
12th Oct 2022
Very handy and comfortable digs, close to the theatre, restaurant area, gyms
and shops, you can’t go wrong!
1st Aug 2022
Thank you for your visit Simon
see you again soon
Great flat, really comfy and ideal location for the centre of town! Would be perfect if you're at either the Hippodrome or the Alexandra
15th Jul 2022
Had a great stay, great communication. Close to the station, theatre, gym shop, large room, everything I needed :)
30th May 2022
Thanks for your visit look forward to seeing you again
Not a great stay sadly. Reported a few issues on check-in day and Stuart sorted what he could. The flat could use a deep clean, new mattresses and a better equipped kitchen.
16th Mar 2022
Fantastic location, across the street from The Alex. Extremely comfortable bed. Would recommend.
2nd Feb 2022
Stuart was a great host and very welcoming. I would certainly stay here again.
1st Feb 2022
Great Value for where we were. So close to the theatre and had everything you would need! Stuart was very kind and attended to any needs we had! Would stay again
3rd Jan 2022
Thank you for your review Luke it was a pleasure to have you stay and you are welcome back anytime good luck with the rest of and future tours
stuart
Digs are ideally located to both the Alex and Hippodrome. Very comfortable stay.
15th Nov 2021
An INSANE VIEW, absolutely wonderful spot and only a few mins walk to the theatre. Couldn't have asked for a better location and a decent price too.
Thoroughly enjoyed it made good use of the Big TV (using my ps4).
Will stay again, thank you
19th Oct 2021
Thank you Ben I look forward to your next visit.
Lovely flat nearly opposite the theatre!
18th Oct 2021
Lovely flat short walk to Alex will deffo stay again Stuart was lovely
27th Sep 2021
The flat is superbly located within a 5-10 min walk to the Hippodrome. The view from the flat is great and the lift is definitely a plus. No parking for the building, but there is an NCP (Birmingham Horsefair) around the corner. Simon is very kind.
6th Sep 2021
Fab location!! Lovely host !! Great digs !!
30th Mar 2020
Brilliant digs will stay here again!!!
30th Mar 2020

28th Jan 2020
Great Location
16th Sep 2019
Easy 10/15min walk to the Rep. Located very close to New Street station. Plenty of shops nearby and about 10min walk into the centre of town. Flat is located on the 31st floor
24th Jun 2019
Stuarts flat was even closer to the hippodrome than I thought possible! Can literally roll out of bed into the theatre. Easy to get to and from work across the road by the traffic lights and a good view! Great value
17th Mar 2019
The worst flat I've ever seen! FILTHY! Dust on everywhere and THICK on top of the fridge! Dead plants all over the flat and the oven is something that should never be experienced by anyone. AWFUL place
20th Oct 2018
Great place to stay in Birmingham, so close to the theatres!
30th Sep 2018
This was a convenient flat. You could actually see the Alex from my room. The kitchen was cosy and clean with all the facilities. What made it even lovelier is that it was self contained when me and my colleague stayed here.
1st Sep 2018
I only met Stuart at the start when picking up my keys but he was fabulous and told me everything I need to know. Bed was comfy, lounge was lovely and views across the city are amazing. If can also see stage door to the Alex from the flat so close 😊
7th Aug 2018
Great little room, perfect for the short walk to the Hippodrome. Stuart is a great host and is happy to help whenever needed. Recommended! Thanks for a great week!
29th Jun 2018
Many thanks for your visit and review your welcome back anytime
Great place so near to theatre . Great host . Really reccomend!
7th Jun 2018
Nice flat, perfect location to both theatres. The flat is right at the top but if you're fine with that, the view is gorgeous. I never actually met Stuart but his communication was great.
3rd Jun 2018
Perfect location, great views.
23rd Apr 2018
Lovely place to stay. Top floor, amazing views of Birmingham and it really is only 5 minutes to the theatre! Stuart was also very helpful the whole week.
17th Apr 2018

23rd Jan 2018

9th Oct 2017
Beautiful digs in a good location, the top floor has a gorgeous view! Stuart was a great host. Extremely comfy and clean room. Would highly recommend these digs.
15th Jun 2017
Great location and great room. Stuart was very accommodating.
1st Jun 2017
Pleasant stay. Host is personable, room comfy & clean Location excellent (Alex Theatre visible from window) but not a salubrious area. Neighbours must be heavy dope smokers or growers as the smell in one of the 2 available rooms was very strong.
25th Apr 2017
Very nice room ,simple smart and incredible views over the city ,worth getting over my vertigo for a few days . Couldn't be closer to theatres . Stuart is friendly but not at all intrusive and Joey the cat is also amiable . Would happily return .
29th Aug 2016
Ashley was a very good guest glad you got over your vertigo for your visit
Thanks for staying
Stuart & Joey
Great place to stay! Close to the Rep
22nd Jun 2016
Stayed here last week with American Idiot tour, the flat is in perfect location for both the Alex and Hippodrome. Stuart was very friendly as was Joey the cat.
17th May 2016
Thank you for your review. I don't understand 4 stars for cleanliness as rooms are cleaned to a high standard. I did notice you left all of your clothing in case or on the floor, shame really
regards to value £17.85 a night not good on value??
Good, spacious, comfortable room on the very top floor of a tower block. The picture for the listing is a green glass building which is the view from the window. Very comfy bed, easy walk to the Alex. Will def stay again next time in Brum.
16th Feb 2016
Lovely flat for a great price considering it's central location!
Stuart was very accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed but then happy to leave me to come and go and do my own thing.
Very cute cat in the flat as well!
4th Feb 2016
Thanks for your review Jamie :-)
Thanks for staying and hope to see you soon.
I am currently halfway through my week-and-a-half stay and Stuart has been very friendly and helpful with any questions I might have.
The flat is situated perfectly for easy travel to the theatres (not even 5 mins to to get the Hippodrome!) and is a large room with a tv, so perfect for spreading out! There is also a brilliantly friendly cat for cuddles (if you want), but would also be fine if you weren't too into cats as he tends to mind his own business.
Due to work schedules between us, eve and mat shows, I find I have the flat to myself most of the time.
I do, however, recommend that you do not walk in the Pagoda subway whilst it is dark (especially as a woman), but it is easy enough to walk around the roundabout, and there are usually a lot of people around doing the same thing. Better just to be safe, I have used it during the day without any issues though.
