Staff were lovely and helpful. Room was spacious and beds comfy but too many thing's wrong with facilities. Two TVs but neither worked as had no signal. Big bathroom but shower didn't work- no water supply. There was a bath but no time for the 3 of us to use it. Sink had poor water supply. Lighting poor and ceiling lights badly positioned.

Good for the price point

Hotel was easy to find. Limited parking but we did manage to park for free. Staff were great and very friendly. We ate in the Thai restaurant and have to say the food was amazing. Room was spacious if a little dated but for what we paid it was far more than adequate. Bathroom was also huge. The bed was a little creaky and a bit hard. The TV also didn't seem to get any channels but we weren't overly bothered. No breakfast is offered but we went to Boston Tea Party which is less than 5 mins down the road.

A very peaceful weekend break

It was very quiet and comfortable. We only saw one other soul during our stay, a man who briefly emerged from a doorway to give us our room key. Further staff communication is indicated by mobile phone numbers sellotaped to doors and other surfaces. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work and the room was rather stuffy in the heatwave - a small fan helped a bit. We had a very nice breakfast at Boston Tea Party, a few metres away.

We had to phone for someone. Sadly, check-in was slow in waiting for someone to come and attend. Basic room which AA would give 2 star rating. Photos online of parking shows tarmac but its actually pebbled. It is clean and a fan waa supplied. Plenty of tea & coffee in the room. Easy walking distance to city centre for utilita arena and plenty of places to eat and drink, which are open very late

Arriving at the door with a phone number to ring isnt the warmest of welcomes. Given key and found room in a lovely building. Room was large, good wifi, has parking, close to a big Morrisons, lots of positives. No breakfast offered, did try the food in evening. Far too salty and expensive for what it was. Big homeless problem local. Would stay again.

Lovely quaint hotel, needs updating a little but liked the character to it. The lady who greeted us was very helpful. Perfect location for us going to the utilita arena as only 15 min walk, had breakfast the next day at a place a few doors down and got 20% off because of us staying at the blue piano.

On arrival at 3:30pm there was a telephone number to ring for check-in which worried us about what to expect. No one answered the phone number but then someone came to the door. He then phoned someone else who confirmed we were booked in. We were given our keys and instructions to enter the property ourselves. There was a restaurant set up but no one else around. It seemed more like an air bnb set up. Our room was very spacious, really lovely wallpaper and blinds. There was a mini fridge, tea and coffee supplies, a hanging rack and the bathroom contained both a double bath and a large shower cubicle. We were very happy with the room especially for the cost. There was free parking on the drive at the front of the property- this was limited so we were lucky with that. The quality bedding and bed were very comfortable and it was nice to have a couple of bucket chairs to sit in also. The room was spotless. In the morning we popped to Morrisons for a breakfast which was cheap and cheerful but filled the gap. We never saw another person at the hotel which felt a bit eerie but we heard people moving about so there were others there! We stayed as we went to a gig at the utilita arena and it was quite far from there but we got taxis so it was fine. I wouldn't recommend The blue piano for an independent stay and would certainly book again for us if needed.

Restaurant good. Rooms average and TV rubbish

Room was a little tired, evidence of damp in the bathroom and the shower curtain needs replacing for the same reason. TV channels were not good, had to download regular TV channel apps rather than just having freeview TV. Food in the restaurant was excellent and onsite parking good.

Quiet and comfortable

The room was very spacious, warm and comfortable. It was ideally situated for where I needed to be. The bar / restaurant was not at all busy, so there was no noise to speak of. My room was on the furst floor and I had a fantastic sleep. My only slight reservation about the room was a broken bath panel. It dated the bathroom, whish was otherwise spacious and clean. Will definitely be staying here again.

Would recommend 👍

Lovely little guest house with the restaurant below it. The person at the checkout was welcoming and friendly, he brought my luggage up for me to my room which is really helpful because there's no lift, only stairs. Food was delicious (Asian-approved spiciness) and staff was nice. On the Sat evening when I was there , there had been a live band playing outside the restaurant area, they had a stage for live performances. Lovely atmosphere with good food and music. Although if you're trying to get an early rest when a live band is playing (think it ends around 12am) , it would be a bit challenging.. Only thing I would say is that the room doors are not auto-locked so you'll need to remember to lock your room door every time you come out -but it's still relatively safe because they've a main door to the rooms that's auto-locked. During outside of restaurant hours, there won't be anyone there but I was able to safely leave my luggage at the reception before coming back to pick it up about 2 hours later without any issues since the main entrance is auto-locked. Would definitely come back to stay if I'm attending an event nearby again. It's situated in a nice area of Birmingham as well, and Morrisons is just across the road.
