It’s not fancy. It’s not a boutique palace. But it’s honest. You know you’ll get a clean room, a great bed, and a breakfast that fills a hole the size of a small car.
The funny part? It’s surrounded by luxury hotels that charge triple. They have doormen in top hats. This place has a friendly person who says “Alright, love?” and means it. That’s charm.

You can walk to the Bullring shopping centre in five minutes. You can reach the canals in ten. The only risk? You might buy a hat you don’t need. Or three.
The Weirdest Thing
Here’s a quirky fact: Premier Inn’s official colour is mauve. Yes, mauve. The whole brand is built on a purple-ish hue. It’s everywhere—walls, signs, even the pens. It’s like staying inside a giant grape.
And the Birmingham one on Waterloo Street? It has a sign that glows purple at night. Locals call it “the beacon of sleep.” Drunk people use it to find their way home. True story.
Also, check the lift. It plays a soft ding that sounds like a polite cough. It’s oddly satisfying. You’ll find yourself pressing the button just to hear it. Don’t judge me.
