Birmingham, Norfolk Hotel

This Norfolk Hotel was probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. the receptionist offered me an upgrade to a newly refurbished room for an extra £15. Newly refurbished I learnt was basically paint over the old dirt. One of my colleagues that was also staying in the hotel had his bath painted to hide the mould which was a new one on me.

Old fashioned, in dire need of decoration. Bathroom floor soaking wet. Towels old and grey. Orange and pink walls.

Don't accept the first rate offered, which for me was £40 a night for the room only. For £25 a night and only a short distance from the city, you can't really complain. The room with en suite was clean but only had a single bed. I stayed at the Norfolk Hotel one night and then booked a further four but will try other hotels next time as the street seemed full of budget hotels.
