DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT STAYING HERE!
I started to write a long review and then gave up. Needless to say, we won't be coming back due to a number of reasons. From exceptionally poor management to bra pads lying about in reception, to being asked to leave as they'd allocated us the wrong room, this place is awful.

The staff at The Great Barr Hotel were all so friendly, helpful and efficient. We stayed for a visit to Crufts and could not have been made more welcome with our 2 dogs. The hotel is very clean and well appointed and we were given a nice room (a suite in fact) which had a very comfy bed and good bathroom/shower facilities. Would recommend to anyone and may visit again one day.

All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Very nice atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable. The food at breakfast was really nice. The bar meal in the evening was pretty poor so I’d advise not eating there in the evening but everything else was very good.
