Great value and location

Parking was easily available at the front of the hotel. Rooms so comfy and clean. Definitively exceeded my expectations. Great location and easy walk to the Utilita steam. Excellent value for money will stay again
Jill, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good for the price point

Hotel was easy to find. Limited parking but we did manage to park for free. Staff were great and very friendly. We ate in the Thai restaurant and have to say the food was amazing. Room was spacious if a little dated but for what we paid it was far more than adequate. Bathroom was also huge. The bed was a little creaky and a bit hard. The TV also didn't seem to get any channels but we weren't overly bothered. No breakfast is offered but we went to Boston Tea Party which is less than 5 mins down the road.

Blue Piano is a wonderful place to stay in Birmingham and I would personally recommend it to anybody who is considering a trip to Birmingham! The staff are hospitable, accomodating and kind! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

A very peaceful weekend break

It was very quiet and comfortable. We only saw one other soul during our stay, a man who briefly emerged from a doorway to give us our room key. Further staff communication is indicated by mobile phone numbers sellotaped to doors and other surfaces. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work and the room was rather stuffy in the heatwave - a small fan helped a bit. We had a very nice breakfast at Boston Tea Party, a few metres away.

6/10 Good

We had to phone for someone. Sadly, check-in was slow in waiting for someone to come and attend. Basic room which AA would give 2 star rating. Photos online of parking shows tarmac but its actually pebbled. It is clean and a fan waa supplied. Plenty of tea & coffee in the room. Easy walking distance to city centre for utilita arena and plenty of places to eat and drink, which are open very late

8/10 Very good

Arriving at the door with a phone number to ring isnt the warmest of welcomes. Given key and found room in a lovely building. Room was large, good wifi, has parking, close to a big Morrisons, lots of positives. No breakfast offered, did try the food in evening. Far too salty and expensive for what it was. Big homeless problem local. Would stay again.

Nice location, lovely place, room a little dated but was comfortable and nice enough for what we needed. Would stay again, good value for money.

First time we have had a good amount of coffee and milk in the room. Blue piano was unique in its decor, food, and outside garden facilities.
Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely quaint hotel, needs updating a little but liked the character to it. The lady who greeted us was very helpful. Perfect location for us going to the utilita arena as only 15 min walk, had breakfast the next day at a place a few doors down and got 20% off because of us staying at the blue piano.

Great size room

Had to await a bit by the reception before being attended too, but good service overall. Great size room, very clean and very comfortable bed. Free off street parking Would be back.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

On arrival at 3:30pm there was a telephone number to ring for check-in which worried us about what to expect. No one answered the phone number but then someone came to the door. He then phoned someone else who confirmed we were booked in. We were given our keys and instructions to enter the property ourselves. There was a restaurant set up but no one else around. It seemed more like an air bnb set up. Our room was very spacious, really lovely wallpaper and blinds. There was a mini fridge, tea and coffee supplies, a hanging rack and the bathroom contained both a double bath and a large shower cubicle. We were very happy with the room especially for the cost. There was free parking on the drive at the front of the property- this was limited so we were lucky with that. The quality bedding and bed were very comfortable and it was nice to have a couple of bucket chairs to sit in also. The room was spotless. In the morning we popped to Morrisons for a breakfast which was cheap and cheerful but filled the gap. We never saw another person at the hotel which felt a bit eerie but we heard people moving about so there were others there! We stayed as we went to a gig at the utilita arena and it was quite far from there but we got taxis so it was fine. I wouldn't recommend The blue piano for an independent stay and would certainly book again for us if needed.

8/10 Very good

Very easy to get to. Had great food and live music. My room was huge with very large windows that flooded the room with light. The tram was literally one block away.
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Restaurant good. Rooms average and TV rubbish

Room was a little tired, evidence of damp in the bathroom and the shower curtain needs replacing for the same reason. TV channels were not good, had to download regular TV channel apps rather than just having freeview TV. Food in the restaurant was excellent and onsite parking good.

Would recommend 👍

Lovely little guest house with the restaurant below it. The person at the checkout was welcoming and friendly, he brought my luggage up for me to my room which is really helpful because there's no lift, only stairs. Food was delicious (Asian-approved spiciness) and staff was nice. On the Sat evening when I was there , there had been a live band playing outside the restaurant area, they had a stage for live performances. Lovely atmosphere with good food and music. Although if you're trying to get an early rest when a live band is playing (think it ends around 12am) , it would be a bit challenging.. Only thing I would say is that the room doors are not auto-locked so you'll need to remember to lock your room door every time you come out -but it's still relatively safe because they've a main door to the rooms that's auto-locked. During outside of restaurant hours, there won't be anyone there but I was able to safely leave my luggage at the reception before coming back to pick it up about 2 hours later without any issues since the main entrance is auto-locked. Would definitely come back to stay if I'm attending an event nearby again. It's situated in a nice area of Birmingham as well, and Morrisons is just across the road.

Quiet and comfortable

The room was very spacious, warm and comfortable. It was ideally situated for where I needed to be. The bar / restaurant was not at all busy, so there was no noise to speak of. My room was on the furst floor and I had a fantastic sleep. My only slight reservation about the room was a broken bath panel. It dated the bathroom, whish was otherwise spacious and clean. Will definitely be staying here again.
Greg, 1-night trip

Ok for somewhere to put head down

The bed was comfy and clean perfectly made but the cleaning of the room was not dust everywhere and dirt rubbish under the bed curtains not hung properly and really grubby windows I spent first hour of stay cleaning both rooms except under the beds didn't want to touch the stuff. I felt like the housekeeper just went in made the bed after cleaned bathroom and added towels didn't care about the dust on the skirting boards etc I have have an allergy so had to double my medication as couldn't find anyone to speak to. Bathroom spacious clean but very damaged huge crack in sink and plug broken marks on the wall towel rails etc not fixed securely on the wall Kettle and fridge in the one bedroom on floor had to clean myself. TV remote not working and so many chipped furnishings just need to put something over the top so can't be seen and all walls had marks on them or chipped paintwork. I feel that there was no proudness from them for their property The restaurant that is attached is wonderful was chosen as son is coeliac and it was good this is why we chose to stay as it hard to find coeliac certified places to eat I was glad that it was very different standard to the hotel section. As we were just using the room to sleep as busy schedule it was ok to just get some sleep so we stayed. It was a real shock when first walk in to room such a shame. I wrote an email to hotel with no reply as yet

It has been an very good stay. Practical location, quiet, safe area, comfy bed, warm, clean, spotless bathroom, quality soap/shampoo, helpful staff. The only issue was that I was given a room underneath another guest and the noise was noticeable. The hotel was not full so allowing a better experience noise-wise would have been possible. But again this is a good value hotel in Birmingham. The restaurant seemed nice as well. Thank you.

2/10 Poor

The TV didn’t work. I asked for it to be repaired, they said it couldn’t be. They clearly didn’t care. When the bath emptied it filled (literally filled) the shower tray with dirty water. They mopped it up but again clearly didn’t care. They said it was a 24/7 reception, it was not - it closed at 9pm and didn’t open at all in the morning. No breakfast was available. Please avoid this place, you deserve better.
