We recently stayed the night at The Bloc hotel for our trip to the NIA. The room was small but very clean and nice to have a decent size TV. The shower/wet room was quite good. Overall a very decent stay.

Good location in the heart of the jewellery quarter Receptionist was helpful and friendly Get a parking discount ticket from reception, this will reduce the cost of parking overnight in the nearby NCP from £20 to £5.50 We walked to our nights entertainment at the NIA, about ten minutes on foot.

I stayed for the one night on business, mainly for location (not far from office) and price. As you'll get from the other reviews... Its small.. Not much cat swinging! If you're a bed lounger like me you'll be right at home. Nice big comfy bed with decent linen and pillows.. A decent sized TV on the wall. Now I... More

It is what it is, a contemporary small room. There is limited floor space but if you just require a cheap room to sleep in that's not a dump then this is it. There is no breakfast but that's not a problem as we ate out. If I was being picky then it would have been nice if it had... More

Good for business traveller. Clean. Quiet. Reasonably priced, including the parking. Comfortable bed. Good sized tv. Great shower. Friendly staff. Free wifi. The limited breakfast option is the only let down. But I understand why the are unable to offer a better service. Will definitely stay here during future visits to Brum

I stayed here in April for one night, and for budget accommodation it's really good. I paid £50 for the night and for that you get a sizeable double bed, compact shower room with sink and toilet in it, and enormous fluffy towels. The toiletries are okay too. There's no getting around it - the rooms are small - so... More

Thank you for your review, you have really understood the concept of bloc! A perfect room for an overnight stay in the city! A comfortable, extra long bed, amazing shower, free Wi-Fi and quality fittings and products but still at a budget price. We hope to see you again soon. More

Normally frightened by the term 'boutique hotel', I recently spent two days at the Bloc in Birmingham for a business trip. Price was good, location a way from train stations, and hotel newly built so very clean. In-room build quality high - lots of designer bits and bobs, a wet room with a great shower, but the rooms are small... More

Thank you for your review and we do hope you return back soon! Bloc Hotel Birmingham is a 5 minute walk to Snow Hill Station or to the Metro Station and a 10 to 15 minute walk to New Street. There is a small desk with stool beside the bed, but we take all feedback into consideration when designing our... More

Booked via Expedia. Nice building in lovely Georgian area of the city in the Jewellery Quarter by St Paul's Square. Hotel is very new, stylish and offers good deals with the nearby NCP car park. Rooms are well decorated with great wet room but the only criticism would be lack of space: no room for clothes bar a hangar and... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Bloc hotel is located in Birminghams Jewellery Quarter. The village atmosphere created by its cafes-bars and restaurants is complemented by the business-shopping-arts and sports facilities that are also on its doorstep. We have taken loose inspiration from Japanese pod style hotels which means much larger rooms more akin to a cabin on a luxury yacht with finishes and fittings to match. The rooms are equipped with a King Size Double Bed-luxurious linen-climate control-wet room with monsoon drench shower-Samsung 32inch led flat screen TV and high speed WIFI. Birmingham is of course a centrally located travel hub and for many of our visitors that will be the most important factor in just how quickly and conveniently they can access the motorway network-national rail and international flights. ... more   less
