Boatel Birmingham

Just what I expected. Simple, basic narrowboat life. If you're expecting a luxury, boutique stay, don't come here. If you're expecting what's advertised, enjoy! The photos are accurate, I've posted some of my own. The family room has it's own bathroom, I think the 2 doubles share from what I can see. The living/cooking area is also shared, but I had it too myself the 1st night (I think most people eat out as it's so central). Good water pressure & heat, & control of the heating for your room. Dividers quite thin as you'd expect on a boat. Owner really friendly & happy for you to contact if you're struggling with anything. Would stay again if in the city.

Not big enough for 8 adults. Needs serious tlc, ran out of water, toilet backed up resulting in horrible stench, not a secure lock on door, shower flooded floor, oven broken, heating broke, water scolding from taps, broken loo seat, constant buzzing noise at back of boat resulting in one adult having to sleep on sofa. Needs a good clean throughout. In saying that, quirky, nicely situated, unique experience, could be a great business but needs serious upgrade.
