  • It didn't feel like a hotel, more like renting a small apartment. Room was massive, full cookwear including hobs, pots and pans, pyrex dishes, even a dishwasher and clothes washer in the room. Definitely would recommend for longer stays as I think I underutilised everything available to me, let alone the gym available that I failed to go near despite bringing things specifically for it. Area is near enough the train stations that you can walk, or take a short transit train if you're carrying heavy, and PLENTY of places to eat in the area (and a small tesko express nearby for some staples).

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Perfect Stay – Highly Recommend! I’ve now stayed at Makers Place in Birmingham twice, and I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough! From my very first stay, I was blown away by how beautiful the apartment was. Absolutely stunning, spotlessly clean, fresh, modern and beautifully presented. It really does have everything you could possibly need, from kitchen utensils to all the little home comforts that make it feel like a genuine home away from home. I regularly travel to Birmingham for business, so finding somewhere that offers this level of comfort, quality and convenience is an absolute bonus. On my most recent visit, I unexpectedly needed accommodation at the last minute after flying back into Birmingham, and the team couldn’t have been more accommodating. Not only did they manage to arrange my stay at such short notice, but they also went out of their way to accommodate a very late check-in after 12:30am. Nothing was too much trouble, and the whole experience was completely seamless, which I really appreciated, especially after travelling. A special shout-out to the incredible reception team! Every interaction I’ve had with them has been fantastic. They’re genuinely friendly, welcoming, professional and always happy to help. It’s that level of customer service that really makes a place stand out. The apartments themselves are stunning, but the people behind the experience make it even better. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, and Makers Place will absolutely be my first choice whenever I’m visiting Birmingham. Special mention to GEM & Jai for another wonderful stay. Five stars all round! ⭐️

  • Gem and Jai. What an amazing job. We really enjoyed our three night stay at Makers place. Almost new, superbly equipped apartments. Location is superb as well as within walking distance to a couple of amazing restaurants. The beds are very hard. Would benefit from a topper. Otherwise our new favourite spot in the City.

    Neale

  • This accommodation, as advertised, is nothing short of perfect: Gem and Jai have been very responsive on the WhatsApp for all the queries I had and Molly in reception is always lovely and helpful. The place itself is spotless and decorated with great taste and elegance, there is nothing cheap about it. The kitchen is very well equipped with very sharp utensils and a great selection of pans and crockery. I am staying in these flats for work and I could not feel more at home.

    Bianca

  • Very good apartment at very good location and very good staff

    Muhammad

  • Fantastic new apartment in Central Birmingham with all the home comforts! Jai and Gem were very attentive and communication was second to none. I will definitely be returning.
