This Royal George hotel is possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.
It is nothing like it's pictures on line, the place is run down, stinking and needs pulling down, how this place is still trading is beyond me.
Let me explain ...... I (like you) needed to book a hotel close to the center of Birmingham for one night, after checking the internet I came across The Royal George Hotel/Bar, it looks great on line (but it's not) it's a dump, when I arrived I walked into the bar (as there is no signage for the hotel) and was met by the roughest looking people (no offence) you will ever meet, the smell of human pee and people smoking weed was overpowering, the woman behind the bar asked me my name and said go into the back room to check in. The back room was another bar with a heavily stained pool table and wooden seats with no cushions, I was told I was on the first floor and she pointed to a lift and said use that (not sure if the place had stairs to the first floor) got in the lift which was yet another scary experience due to the lift car moving down slightly as I stood on it, got out on the first floor, the smell of human pee was making me feel sick, got into my room and again the smell hits you, the mattress had no springs in it so you just laid on the hard board of the bed base, the 1950s carpet was a mixture of 3 different heavily stained carpets, the room door did not lock, the bathroom was filthy, I stayed 40 mins, in that 40mins I booked a real hotel and left.
