It was ok
Pros:

Staff were very good, room was as you would expect but at £123 on the pricy side.
My main issue was when I arrived at 17.45 after a long drive I asked if I needed to book to eat. I was told earliest I could eat was 8.30 as they were busy. I asked if there was anything nearby and was told there is nothing really in walking distance so I had to get an uber.
At breakfast next day I could see what I think the issue was....for a hotel this size an amazingly small kitchen which I think would struggle with a large amount of customers.

1st class service.
Pros:

I spend most of my working week working away from home staying at premiere inn hotels all over the country,and can honestly say I have never been felt more welcome than with the staff at Birmingham Central Aston .
Tia,Amira and Fern were absolutely first class in making sure all aspects of my stay were adhered to and are a credit to premiere inn. I would definately recommending the premiere inn Aston hotel to other companies if working in and around the Birmingham area.

Family stay one night it was ok
Pros:

Stay here for 1 night, booked two rooms and arrived early and asked for rooms next to each other which they said they would accommodate. Hotel is about 20 minute walk into town. Hotel has parking which was charged at £8.50 a night. We came back later in the day to check in and were given rooms on different floors even though we had arranged in the morning. This was sorted and we ended up on the same floor but not next to each other.
Staff were ok . No one went above and beyond. Ordered food and it was a 45 min wait for a pizza the restaurant wasn’t that busy.
Rooms were warm but had to use air con so no issue.
Overall hotel is ok a little too far for me outside of the city. But fine for an overnight stay .

Excellent Customer Service
Pros:

After a very disappointing concert cancellation, we received fantastic customer service when we returned to the premier inn. Tia, Fern and Jordan were very sympathetic, welcoming, kind and compassionate about our situation. Would highly recommend and will stay again if we return to Birmingham in the future.

Well treated, by all staff would stay again
Pros:

On arrival I was welcomed and treated very well. I had a room on the second floor, on entry it was a slightly chilly but realised window open. I went to turn on air conditioning according to very good instructions, but on approach I noticed that the screen on display was damaged I took picture the unit did turn on but could not see what it was doing…..but it wasn’t heating it just blew out very cod air. I returned to reception showed picture to one of the 3 staff on that night who was Tia who took note and picture was taken off my phone. I was also offered another room but didn’t want to cause problem. And said I’m sure will be fine, but was a bit chilly during night. Unfortunately the maintenance personnel did not manage to fix.
So the next night I asked for portable heater as I realised the room was colder. This I received from Tia and I believe Amira straight away.
I can not fault the staffs effort to make my stay the best they could. For a small team they are doing a lot so fair play to them.
The food was very very good well presented.
Nothing was too much trouble for Tia, Amira, Mehrnaz, they all seemed passionate about their work at the hotel.
Inoperable they do get recognized for all their efforts.

Wish I could give zero stars
Pros:

This is a shocking hotel I would not stay here again. The hotel was lacking in leadership there was no customer service all the colleagues wanted to do was congregate around the serving hatch. The food was absolutely disgusting and wasnt even warm. Very overpriced hotel and food never again!!!

THANK YOU CHARLAINE!
Pros:

Initially this was going to be an awful review but Charlaine has really spun this stay around for me. Throughout what seemed extremely disorganised and chaotic, she still managed to wizz around the hotel and make sure everyone was happy.
Food was extremely slow coming out and she managed to keep everyone smiling making sure that nobody felt unheard or forgotten. She was seating people when it was packed, jumping from bar to reception, taking orders and never forgetting anything even when doing multiple jobs at the same time. I even saw her in the kitchen at one point when I went for a bathroom break.
She was very intricate in asking about my allergy that is unheard of (I am severely allergic to legumes) making sure that I was pleased and safe. She even polished my cutlery fresh, opened new napkins for me, sprayed my table top to bottom and the chairs with a fresh cloth AND swept underneath my table for me as she had explained that a lot of dishes come with various peas and legumes so it’s likely that there was traces all over the place. She said and i quote “those little buggers get everywhere, especially when the kids get them” and it made me chuckle.

I am also neurodivergent which I did not make known but she could sense that I was intimidated by a loud group of lads next to me and had kindly moved me away from them despite having other things to do. To notice somebody else’s discomfort when they have not said a word about it takes real attention to detail to spot and an even bigger heart to take action on it. I cannot thank Charlaine enough for her efforts.
Towards the end of the night we had a conversation about her aspirations and goals in life, in which I found out that she is a qualified accountant. I had asked why she worked in hospitality with such qualifications behind her and she had said she likes the social aspect of it and what a wise choice she has made. I have truly never met anyone so open, funny, accommodating and caring even if I only knew her for 2 evenings.
You can truly see everyone’s faces light up from guests to staff when she walks in the room. I even witnessed one of the other lodgers at the bar singing her praises and a fellow colleague hugging her and saying “Thank God you’re in!” when starting her shift.
I later joined the guest at the bar and we talked for hours about how wonderful Charlaine is.
She had kept an infectious smile on her face throughout her entire shift and did not fall short of making all the guests laugh regardless of how busy it was. She made time for everyone and could not do enough despite being told multiple times to take a break by co-workers and even guests.
I have never known anyone to be so passionate and witty at the same time and can truly say that she is an absolute gem.
I would come back just to see her again whilst praying in the back of my mind that she has moved onto bigger and better things because she truly deserves the best for the massive heart that she has.

Vibes at the bar
Pros:

Had a great time at the bar thanks to Fern — she was genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve met behind the bar. Made me feel really welcomed straight away and had a great sense of humour. Proper good vibes all round, she made the night that much better!

Fern is the best waitress I’ve ever seen in my life
Pros:

Fern deserves a very high pay rise because it’ll allow her to continue to be a beacon of positivity and quality customer service. She has high understanding of customer concerns. I had mentioned that I don’t want beer in my batter and she made real effort in making sure I can enjoy a great dish (fish and chips) without compromising on my beliefs. She also was thoughtful enough to recommend dishes that’ll save money as well as satisfy my big appetite. Best service I had from a hotel because of Fern’s personality and support (p.s I’ve been to many hotels)
