The staff have always been accommodating and friendly . Literally have nothing to fault it on. If you eat in the restaurant i recommend the chefs table. Which is a selection of cured meats fish and fresh pasta , salad and breads to start. Also the scallops with pea purée its making my mouth water just talking about them they are that good.!!!! The hotel itself has large spacious rooms one of the most comfortable beds I have ever stayed in ! They also give you a late checkout at 12 which I also love.

Nice art work on the walls and all the amenities you would expect at a hotel, WiFi, ironing board, kettle, mugs, tea coffee etc etc. The staff on reception were helpful and got me checked in quickly. I was there for a days conference so we also used a meeting room. The coffee machine played music as your coffee was made, a nice touch. There was a little faff getting the laptop connected to the screen but once connected all was good. Nice break out area. The bar staff were quick and efficient with plenty of staff working not just behind the bar but on the floor as they are still operating table service. I might have gone 5 stars except for my experience with breakfast the following morning. As part of our package we were able to use our meeting space for breakfast. I was under time pressure and was reassured breakfast would be with us shortly, I heard this for an hour and as I left they arrived with breakfast Other than that I liked the hotel, it's location is great and the staff were good. I will definitely use again.

They do take Taste Card though and you can use hand picked hotel points to get a free meal! The reason I haven't given 5 stars is the price of the drinks, a Hendricks gin and tonic is £9.50!

The guy on reception had a very good check in patter, which I am not sure was just for my amusement or his! The room was decent they do offer upgrades to the upper deck where you get access to sky movies and sports. This was of no interest to me as I was only there to sleep. The room I had was of a good standard, clean and tidy, I was on the first floor with a view of a flat roof!! The staff in the hotel were very helpful and I do believe whatever request you may have they will endeavour to accommodate it. Hence I have given the hotel a 4 star rating. The bar does resemble one you would find in a night club and it was quite loud, the drinks weren't night club priced which was good. From the posters in the bar they do have specific events throughout the year some are comedy some are tribute bands. They have a good pool and gym in the hotel so if you want a dip in the morning it is more then adequate for that purpose, they also have an onside gym which was of a decent standard. There was a wedding party there on the Saturday night which is to be expect at a hotel the wedding party was one of the better behaved ones I have witnessed however when I went up to my room I could hear the music as if I was in the party!!! This did keep me awake for a bit but I think it all stopped around the 1am mark. The breakfast was the standard fare of fried food cereal and fruit, I cannot comment on the standard of the rest of their food menu as I never sampled it. If you are in Coventry and need somewhere to stay you could do worse than here.

The pub and restaurant had super good food as well ( tip: if you eat in the pub you need to order the pizza. Not what I expected but it was one of the better pizzas I have had in awhile.) overall my stay here was perfect and I will be staying here again if I am in the area.

The cocktails and afternoon teas here are sublime, cocktails can end up being expensive but really quirky. Service is always really good too. Incredible value for money with what you get with your afternoon tea. I was taken here by a very good friend for a pre-xmas treat. The Edgbaston has a lovely menu of different flavoured teas. Before our tiered platter of finger sandwiches and mini cakes arrived, we were presented with an aperitif of elderflower and apple, served in a glass within a bowl of dry ice which then had apple & elderflower juice poured around it to "awaken our smell" senses. Sorry to ruin the surprise! I couldn't smell it but loved the drama and theatre of all the dry smoke pouring out of the bowl on to our table. The sandwiches were lovely (they catered for my friends dietary requirements too), the cakes were scrumptious, especially the salted caramel puff was simply delicious, and then we were served scones some with and some without raisons and jam & cream. Quintessentially British in a very trendy setting i'd say. Thoroughly enjoyed it and at £20per person (this was the no alcohol option) I thought it was very good value. I will definitely go back and sample the alcoholic option :)

I have had this place bookmarked since I moved to England 10 months ago. When I heard about the…read moreFestive Afternoon Tea I knew it was time to try it. We booked in for the last day of the Festive Tea. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the sheer beauty of this place. We were seated promptly and each given an explanation of the menu. We each went with the Moseley Serve which is the afternoon tea with all the trimmings plus a fancy cocktail (£32 each). As they were still in the festive spirit, they were offering Christmas cocktails. I had In A Pear Tree which was the sweeter of the two offered, with gin, honey, and pear. It was garnished with two slices of dried pear. Great start to the afternoon. As many have mentioned, the china used is beautiful and ornate. It accompanies the dining room perfectly. Even the sugar bowl was visually appealing with cute little bird claw tongs. Everything looks very vintage and was in pristine condition. I was pleasantly surprised at the amuse-bouche that was brought out prior to our cakes and sandwiches. I've never seen anything presented like this at an afternoon tea before. It's a pretty special presentation. It made me feel like I was dining at a Michelin starred restaurant! Now for the food. There were 4 types of sandwiches. I can't remember exactly, but pretty standard sandwiches that you would expect. The cakes, however, were truly exceptional. We were told they were all made in house. They were so pretty I didn't want to eat them. There were a few flavored meringues, macaroons, a mince pie and a boozy rum tart. Very festive and quite good. This is the first time that I ever had afternoon tea and actually enjoyed ALL THE FOOD! Scones (plain and fruit) were brought out last for us with the cream and jam served in adorable but hard to scrape out jars. We were told to dig in as they were nice and warm..but our scones were not warm at all. None the less they still tasted great. The only reason I refuse to give this place full on 5 stars is the service. For the price point and atmosphere I expected top notch service. Our hot water ran out in both tea pots and we were never offered a top up although the menu mentions unlimited hot water top ups for tea. Dirty dishes and glasses were not cleared so our small table was over crowded. It also seemed odd that there wasn't a coat check. Our baggy winter coats were left shuffled next to me on the bench seating. Despite this, everything else was fantastic. They have a fantastic looking cocktail menu. I am hoping they come up with a new seasonal tea soon so I have a reason to try The Edgbaston again!

The rooms are nice, the beds are comfortable and there's enough space for your suitcases. The bar is great, it has a great bar menu and good drinks.

The breakfast buffet is OK, it was a bit overpriced but they had a good variety of food including breads, eggs, yogurt, chia, etc. The staff was very polite. We even met the manager, I think his name was Manny, and he was super friendly. He definitely wanted to ensure our stay was a pleasant one and he would acknowledge us every time he saw us. We will absolutely be back when we visit again.

I was invited to High Tea at Hotel La Tour and it was delicious. Served up in the lovely…read moresurroundings of their Alvar Bar (all subtle grey tones with deep flashes of plush red furnishings and large over-sized lampshades) we chose to sit right up in the corner of the tinted floor-to-ceiling windows (the hotel has a unusual pointed glass frontage more noticeable from the outside) giving us a view of the length of the cafe. Granted the view of the roadworks outside wasn't great but there was plenty to look at when the 3 trays of food arrived! Especially while sipping a little Prosecco. On the top shelf of our 3-tier tray we had delicious skinny sandwiches with salmon and cream cheese, Coronation (we think) chicken and ham salad. The inside-out cucumber rolls were a great take on the traditional great British afternoon cucumber sarnies but the super-tasty bit was the oozing Welsh rarebit served as a pot of gooey cheese with crusty bread to dip in - YUM! The next tray was for the scones. Wholemeal and regular served with Jam and Clotted Cream (although we pretty much used up all the cream on 2 scones). And finally the sweet tray. A take on a walnut whip and a jaffa cake were served with a treacle tart (all in 2-bite size portions) however my favourite was the Eton mess - it was like eating a cloud; a light, fluffy, sweet that melted away in my mouth. This was topped off with a pretty fine selection of teas or coffee, and if you wanted, you could also choose from a selection of cocktails (Gin & Tonic served with cucumber / Earl Grey Martini / Glass of Veuve Clicquot). The High Tea costs £15.95 per person and the cocktails are extra. I'd say it is well worth but my top tip is just DON"T EAT BEFORE. There is a lot of food to get through. I'd say this is ideal for girls that lunch, a birthday, hen weekend or a treat for your mom. High Tea is available Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Bank Holiday Mondays.

Breakfast Review: I…read morehad a breakfast meeting this morning and couldn't believe my luck when my colleague suggested Hotel du Vin - a venue that I hadn't considered for breakfast before? Breakfast was great, service was excellent and very prompt. Coffee was good too. At £16.95, its the most expensive I have eaten in Birmingham - but this does come with access to the pastries and cereals too - so its still expensive though, compared to others locally. Breakfast consists of eggs, (I had 2 perfectly poached ones), 2 bacon, a flat mushroom, half a tomato, black pudding, (not great - a bit crumbly) and a tiny sausage. Its a shame about the sausage - it should have been bigger or another should have been added to the breakfast. Would I go back? Possibly. There is some great competition in Birmingham

Especially the big pool which you can use as a member is very nice and clean. The fitness facilities can be quite full - but as everywhere it depends on the time you go.

The staff in all departments is very friendly. My only minus point is the high member fee of ca. £45 per month. Other than that a great place to go and a guaranteed sporty time!
