Location
Pros:
"Always a convenient short cut into city centre. Nice location by canal."
"Situated 5 walk from the train station and central to the happening night life, is The Cube."
"The Cube is located in an attractive and central area of Birmingham, near the canal and also close to the iconic Birmingham Library."
"This area around the canals, mailbox, arena, aquarium with All the pubs and clubs is brilliant."
"Nice hotel but Aircon wasn't working there was just a fan and it was a red hot day after cricket, 15 min walk from edgbaston cricket ground, would stay again."
Cons:
"To pay for parking you need to have coins. There is an information how to pay online but when I was there it was unavailable."
"I was surprised to learn upon receiving the bill that I was being charged £5 for a window table."
Architecture & Design
Pros:
"A brilliantly designed building that provides amazing views of the city centre, and beyond on a clear day, especially from the top floor... but maybe not if you're a vertigo sufferer."
"The architecture of The Cube is very innovative and unusual - there really isn't anything else quite like it in the city, or really even in the rest of the UK."
"An extremely thought provoking piece of architecture."
"The building looks like a Tetris game."
Cons:
"I hate the architect who designed this building. I despise post modernist architecture in general but this one makes my skin crawl."
"Dreadful place - a vision of how bad the world would be if it was designed by a first year art class."
Service & Staff
Pros:
"The staff here are very friendly and helpful too."
"All of the staff in the restaurant were very warm and welcoming."
"Dinner at Marco Pierre White. Great venue overlooking the skyline if Birmingham - bar staff so friendly and professional."
"Staff are very welcoming and friendly."
"Polite staff, extremely clean room and secure lift."
Cons:
"Arrived here on Monday late afternoon, very quiet 3 members of staff, took one of them 15 minutes to serve me, didnt acknowledge I was waiting to be served."
"The staff at reception were rude and incompetent."
"Went to mpw. Service was terrible and portions where tiny."
"Had to remind the staff 3 times that we were still there ready to eat."
"Booked a night here for Friday, just prior to my wife discovering she was positive for Covid, tried to cancel and reschedule only to be met by intransegence, stubborness, obtuse and arrogant behaviour from the manager."
Accommodation & Amenities
Pros:
"Fully recommend everyone to book a room at the cube to end a night in town, The views from the top floor are amazing at night and the room itself was spacious and very modern."
"The room itself offered a great view of the city and was extremely spacious."
"Clean comfortable rooms with excellent air conditioning."
"This really is quite a hotel with amazing views if you are lucky enough to be on the upper floors."
"Lovely stay and perfect location."
Cons:
"In the room we were greeted with a big blood stain on the floor, soaked dirty curtains."
"No seats available to lounge on some being saved with towels. It was a spa day and it was overcrowded in all areas."
"This is probably one of the worse hotels I've ever stayed in."
"The issue I had with my room was the air conditioning."
"The room was so cold it had two pluging radiators in it."
Food & Dining
Pros:
"Great place, easy to find and in a nice contemporary multi-use building. Food was top class, service was fast and efficient."
"Enjoyed a super meal in the Brazilian restaurant... Great food ... make sure you are hungry when you go."
"The food was delicious and came on time."
"Food was amazing and the view is even better .. you can see all of Birmingham and the nice lights at night."
"Both tasted great."
Cons:
"There's a Hotel and varied restaurants - which are way overpriced and too pretentious to be called fine dining."
"If I'm to pay £15 for a cocktail, I expect to taste alcohol. So if value for money is what you're after then expect to be disappointed, or left broke... as it's PRICEY!"
"Visited the cube to go to Marco Piere, personally I didn't think the food was that amazing considering the price and the type of customers they would get there."
"I was further disappointed to find out they didn't have any draft beers, and had run out of lamb too."
Value & Pricing
Pros:
"Absolutely stunning place that is not totally outside most people's budget."
"The Cube has a host of great bars and restaurants everyday of the week to be enjoyed."
Cons:
"It feels very premium for a shopping centre but it also feels very expensive."
"I believe and should be refunded my money as spending over £200 at the cube hotel for the service within your facility is super poor."
