The 30 Best Art gallery in Birmingham

“Lovely tattoo artists who do excellent work. They are very professional, friendly and helpful. I have had a few tattoos done here and would go back there for more. I would recommend anyone who's looking for their first or hundredth tattoo to go there.”

“Absolutely fantastic service - my daughter had a problem with her ears after having them pierced elsewhere. Kat saw us straight away, gave great advice and put some proper earrings in for my daughter. She put my daughter totally at ease and made her feel safe as she was scared. Everything was clean and clinical - wish I’d come here in the first place!”

“A most lovely place to visit and buy from- I visited this gallery shop a few weeks ago with my wife- and noted there was a lot of jewellery she liked here, not wanting to buy her a gift in front of her, I decided to get it for her in secret for a surprise. So last week I phoned up this shop and Sara, the owner was most helpful in to make sure I got exactly the right item for her. Not only did she remember us and my wife's preference for several pieces, she gift wrapped them beautifully and made sure it was posted in time for my wife's birthday, I would have been stuck because I knew there was rather a lot my wife liked from here and probably would have found it hard to make a decision online alone!”

“Looks like a great uni for medical students”

“I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their warm hospitality and professional service. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable environment to relax after a long day. The location was excellent, close to major attractions yet peaceful enough for rest. Breakfast offered a good variety of tasty options, and the dining area was always neat. What impressed me most was the attention to detail and genuine care. Overall, a truly memorable and pleasant experience.”

“Great location within walking distance of the NIA with lots of restaurants and bars along the way. The hotel is clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. We were on the 14th floor so we had a good view from the window. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hot breakfast was very good and they had a vegetarian option too. The hotel was very busy but expected this being in the centre of Birmingham. Car park is a short walk (about 5 mins) from the hotel and we pre-booked this, which is advisable.”

“I stayed at The Birmingham Hotel for 1 week and the service was exceptional, the staff and housekeeping were super helpful and catered to all my needs. By far the BEST staff compared to any other hotel I have ever stayed at. My room was very spacious, clean and very well furnished.”

“Spot On. Clean, great room, comfy bed, great coffee machine, loved the style of the building and location. Coffee shop round the corner. Parking on the road outside. Checked in on my phone, even called the lift on my phone! 15 min walk from the utilita arena. 20 min walk into town. 10/10.”

“Great atmosphere, great service from our waiter Omer, very attentive, food was amazing, restaurant is stunning. Travelled from London on business but had to try Akbar's restaurant as was highly recommended. Definitely will be back.”

“There’s much to be said about this stay, but I will try and keep it short. This is not the first time we’re staying here, and it’s become our preferred hotel, when we visit annually, all the way from Wales. It’s warm, nicely decorated and comfortable. Today however, the reception greeting was quite icy. We were 1/2 hour early for check-in, and the reception lady refused to consider early check in to avoid the crowds creating a bottleneck at 14:00. There’s something to be said about efficiency in process execution. If you allow early check in even if the room is still being prepared, keep the access card aside for collection at the appropriate time, avoiding queues and bottlenecks - basic Lean Six Sigma principles, leaving staff less stressed as well. On the other hand, what fabulous service from the catering staff, Joel and Ina!! I got what I ordered, a tasty steak and chips with mushroom sauce to die for, cooked to perfection! I was absolutely satisfied when I took my last bite, enjoying every mouth full. Ina even offered a steak knife without having to be asked, now that’s proactive thinking, much appreciated! And thanks to Joel for prepping the food, it was like tasting food from home, making me nostalgic. You guys make a mean team, thank you once again for excellent customer service xx”

“This is the second time I've stayed here and both times it was been really good. Staff are very friendly, rooms are clean and quiet at night. Breakfast was good too. There was some noise outside the hotel but that's to be expected in the city centre.”

“The room lighting could be better. Great location with a Toby just next door for dinner.”

“Top staff who sorted us out big time. I recommend this hotel for staying in brum especially if you want to be close to the nightlife! We saw Kendrick Lamar and they were brilliant late at night too!”

“"I stayed at this hotel and honestly, it exceeded my expectations. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained, giving a sense of luxury and peace. The service was simply outstanding – everything I needed was taken care of promptly and with a smile. The staff deserves a special mention for their warmth, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile to make guests feel at home. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was calm and welcoming, which made my stay even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and top-quality service."”

“We have just completed a living room/ media/cinema room conversion with Ciaran from The Big Picture ….. the advice, time, work and effort from Ciaran during the entire project has been excellent …. from the first visit when we gave him the brief for what we wanted to achieve to the actual build itself and beyond …. Ciaran has been hands on every step of the way ….. the quality of the tech he recommended and installed was top notch and he always had our overall budget in mind ….. the passion with which Ciaran managed the build and also our expectations for what we could achieve was superb ….. Ciaran is always on hand for any queries or questions and is always quick to respond ….. overall the experience with Ciaran and his team at The Big Picture has been excellent …. the audiovisual performance delivered by his recommended setup (which includes components from the likes of Monitor Audio, Denon, Sony) truly transforms a normal functioning family living room into a home theatre experience literally at the touch of a button thanks to the Control 4 system that he also installed for us …… delivering on our brief fully Ciaran has created a living room / home theatre that is a sanctuary for me and my love of film that at the touch of a button can return to a normal living room and central hub for family living ….. It's a testament to what can be achieved when high-quality components and expert advice and installation come together to create something special ….. I would highly recommend Ciaran and The Big Picture”

“I can’t recommend this firm highly enough. They supported me and my son through an incredibly challenging time with professionalism, compassion, and unwavering kindness. Their clear guidance and thorough communication made all the difference, and thanks to their tireless efforts, we achieved an outstanding outcome. I’m genuinely grateful for everything they’ve done for us.”

“Recently made the trip to House of Thieves for a full day of tattooing by Claire Daisy. I'm absolutely obsessed with my designs! She is an absolute queen of fine line work and has lush energy to fully feel safe and at ease throughout. The shop also has immaculate vibes, music and decor with lovely staff and crack which made the experience even better. Couldn't recommend Claire and this shop enough 10/10.”

“This wasn’t my first tattoo, but it was my first time being tattooed by a woman, and it was an amazing experience! Dark Rose Tattoo is a studio I can wholeheartedly recommend. I was a bit worried about the pain, but any nerves I had quickly disappeared – the atmosphere was welcoming, and the artist was both professional and meticulous. She explained the entire process, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. The tattoo turned out beautifully, exactly as I’d imagined! I’ll definitely be back for another one. Highly recommended!”

“Well, what can I say other than perfection. My first visit. I was made to feel very welcome. My BLT on seeded bread was lovely. So fresh and so much filling in the sandwich. My Chai Latte was one of the best I've had. Thank you so much. Will definitely be back.”

“Had a wonderful experience at JQ Diamonds and had a gorgeous ring custom designed for my engagement ring. Sonu was really helpful through the whole process, explaining the costs of various diamonds and shapes and how we could meet our budget. All the other staff who helped on collection day were great also. Highly recommend!!”

“Been here a few times now, and it’s an awesome shop. Really friendly staff, great atmosphere and a brilliant roster of artists. Maisie has smashed the few designs I’ve asked her to do and has gained my absolute trust. Bloke on the desk is well fit.”

“Great little gem, friendly staff and all food is cooked to perfection. I particularly love their own Rafters chips which are the best chips in Rubery if not the West Midlands..nice and crunchy on the outside (never greasy) and light & fluffy inside.”

“Outstanding service from showroom to delivery, professional team ensured seamless guidance. The bed arrived on time, was expertly set up, and surpassed all comfort and design expectations. I have since enjoyed a wonderfully lovely sleep every night thanks once again.”

“I had an amazing experience at Skinnys Ink! Ant was my tattoo artist, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The shop has such a friendly atmosphere, and the retro Star Wars memorabilia around the place made it extra cool for a fan like me. Ant's line work is absolutely incredible—so precise and clean. He was super accommodating throughout the whole process, making sure I was comfortable and happy with the design every step of the way. If you're looking for a great tattoo artist in a fun and welcoming environment, Skinnys Ink is the place to go. I'll definitely be back for my next piece! Edit: Been for more tattoos still 5* added further images”

“Staff were very attentive and friendly. We got the five course grazing lunch menu and loved every dish. Excellent flavours. Absolute star of the show was the raspberry dessert 6 different ways.”

“Honestly honestly the best customer / client service. You could possible have. You can walk in from all backgrounds of life and be greater with kindness from smiles, and experience. I went in not feeling at my best. But honestly they never failed to brighten up my day. They have food that meets all joy. Whether you want to pop in quickly to take away. Go in and stay in or from they bring it home option. I can honestly say, I think there’s nothing startbucks could do Better, they key to keeping their customers happy is definitely shown within their staff. And the brand as a whole seems very lovely from this view Point. #Greeted with kindness.”
