    stayBirmingham.com reserves the right to charge the cardholder and/or guest(s) for any damage caused by the guest or any of the guest's party. A full inventory check of the apartment is carried out before the guest's arrival and after the guest has departed. Any damage to the apartment, or missing or damaged contents will be charged to cardholder and/or guest(s).

  • Are there any other fees or charges?

    A small booking charge may be applied at the time of booking. Phone charges (where available) are charged by usage. All other normal charges (electricity/gas/water/heating etc.) are covered in the nightly charge. Excessive usage of electricity may result in an extra charge to the cardholder and/or guest(s). To avoid exceeding the electricity allowance, we request that guests turn off any appliances/lighting/heating when not in use.

    Please ensure that apartments are left in good condition - all waste placed in waste bin, and all crockery, cutlery and utensils washed. Otherwise, an additional charge of £25 will be applied.

  • What is meant by self-catering apartment?

    A self-catering apartment is not serviced daily, as in a hotel. Additionally, cooking, cleaning and washing are done by the guest. However, for stays of more than one week, the apartment will be serviced once weekly, and fresh towels supplied every fourth day. If additional cleaning is required, this can be arranged at an extra cost.

    Each voucher is redeemable for a coffee + breakfast roll in The Dragon Inn at Hurst Street located 1 min walk from Arc Apartments.

    As we need to have access to the apartment to service it prior to the arrival of the next guest(s), we request that guests leave the apartment by 11:00 am on the day of departure.

    Subject to availability, an afternoon/evening check-out may be arranged at £10 per hour up to 3pm.
