Reviews for Z Hotel
Name: Beck
Date of visit: 02/18
Very nice hotel, spacious room and bathroom.
The hoist track went from the bed directly into the bathroom, with 'points' in the track to take you over the toilet or the bath. We had a problem with the track running too close to the bathroom door but the staff seemed keen to put this right. I think we may have been the first guests to actually use the hoist so they were glad to have our feedback.
The double bed is against the wall which does give more floor space but may cause a problem for your partner climbing into bed. I daresay it could be moved.
Good breakfasts in the modern Z cafe.
Fantastic central location and good pies in the local pubs!

Brilliant! Luxurious break.
I`ve stayed here twice September 2016 and 2017. The first time was before the hoist went over the toilet. Its all sorted now. Myself, I didn't have a issue with the door as the other review states, but it was very near.
Apart from the Crown Plaza this is the only hotel with a ceiling hoist that made me feel normal, normal in a great way. Getting the same or very similar experience to everyone else!
Very spacious and looks really nice.
I just wish there were more like this.

Plenty of room for transfer with the hoist from wheelchair to the bed, the mattress was really comfortable. No automatic doors once your inside so does require some manoeuvring to get through the internal doors. Food was fantastic and overall service excellent, would stay again 100%

Fantastic!!!! Well done premier inn please please try and upgrade all your hotels to have some rooms with celling hoists.
I stayed in the room with the hoist over bath. So well thought out. Great to be able to have a bath. At home I self hoist so the one little think was I need to be pushed by carer a it is only electronic up and down.
Have a great stay we did.
They have bed blocks too raise bed if you ask.

The ceiling hoist installed by Prism Medical (Movement2 Division) is split into separate components in the bedroom and bathroom due to the varying ceiling heights and services within the false ceiling. It was unfortunately not possible to make the track continuous from one room to the other but there are fixed ceiling track hoists in both rooms, so unlike some other hotels there is no need to physically transfer a transportable hoist and these have powered traverse too.
The track in the bedroom covers the full width of the bed and curves around to one side to give a good choice of transfer point from chair to hoist. The bathroom is an H track which gives access to anywhere in the room. Both rooms are equipped with Freeway T200M hoists (200Kg SWL) and there is a 19" wide Freeway T40 shower/commode chair should you prefer to use that.

This beautiful, eco-friendly hotel has a stunning setting. There's ample accessible parking (make sure you park at the top of the hill if you don't want to wheel/make your Personal Assistant trundle your stuff up it!) and the space inside was very generous.
Beware though: the bed in the room with the hoist is a double which CANNOT be separated, or moved at all, and despite the fact that people with lower access needs are free to book a twin room, there is no interest in giving a hoist user that equality of service. They do have a Z-bed on wheels but will only hand it over under protest as it's not robust enough for very heavy adults, so they want to limit it's use to under-12s. My PA tells me it's actually perfectly comfy!

Fantastic place to stay! We don’t live too far and as a young couple, enjoy some time away from family and in a double bed for a change. This is our home away from home! We tend to stay here on special occasions, a few times a year over the last 4 years. We can’t fault it! 2 hoists - one for bedroom, one for bathroom. Surprisingly it’s the same ceiling hoist that we use at home which makes things easier. There are various sling sizes in the wardrobe but we do bring our own. The staff can’t do more for you, very attentive. They are happy to extend check out times by 2-3 hours for no charge so that we have ample time for our morning routine. Breakfast is amazing! As a coeliac, they cater well for gluten free. We’re going again next week to celebrate Valentines Day.

Name: Richard
Date of visit: 07/18
trip adviser July 2018. There are very few hotels with a hoist in the bedroom anywhere in the UK. This is what made our three night stay to see the athletics in Birmingham possible. It is fabulous that the hotel has this facility but unfortunate that check in staff are not aware that it is room 229 and 229 only. We were allocated 225 a disabled access room but no hoist. Room 229 is also an interconnecting room. I called ahead to the hotel, I advised the reservation staff but still had the very real worry that we would have to turn around and drive another 5 hours back home. No hoist, no stay. In the future I will speak to the manager in person however difficult this may be to achieve. The room I thought was very big. The hoist rail/bed configuration means not much room to hoist from chair to bed but possible for us. There is a plug by the right hand side bed side. The hoist rail in bathroom we did not use, appears that shower curtain goes around hoist runway so could not actually get into the bath? A bit of an angle but could get on toilet seat OK I assume. The hoist stopped working during our stay again causing real concern. It turns out that it was nothing to do with charging it up but that the battery needed to be taken out/put back in to 're-set' it. After this worked as normal but this b******d up our morning. Room 229 is on same floor as reception/restaurant/bar. To access gym we had to go back outside to main gym entrance. The hotel is only a couple of floors but appears not to have any lift, so for room 229 you can't get out any of the other doors and need to go via reception. At end of corridor there is an evacuation chair for one flight of chairs. There was a wedding on when we were there no noise in room 229. I though food was good choice (vegetarian) and good enough at 10.30pm. Breakfast offer 2 for 1. Breakfast was excellent. There is an outside seating area by the bar if sunny. In all the hotel was better than I expected. Was a great location, with the sat nav we got in and out of Birmingham just fine. Parking is the dreaded parking eye which you need to tap in your registration at reception. There are about 5 disabled places by the entrance and many, many parking places. photos on trip adviser.

Date of visit: 06/18
We recently stayed here in one of their adapted suites. That means you get a full kitchen (fridge freezer, hob, microwave, dishwasher etc), lounge area with tv, conservatory with seating and a dining table and chairs (for 6).
The bedroom has a ceiling track hoist, which can take someone through to the toilet. The toilet was a clos-o-mat cleaning toilet which could be adjusted for height using a remote control. It wasn’t a wet room but you could place someone in the bath (with shower over) using the ceiling track hoist which had a clever system to allow it to change direction. The sink was lowered as were some of the units in the kitchen.
The bed was not a profiling bed but was at a reasonable height and firmness. You could have put a portable hoist under the bed, but we had no need.
The hotel is excellent, good eating options and bars, an indoor and outdoor (heated) pool. Excellent location to explore the area. All the staff were very helpful. In terms of price it was around double the price of their cheapest twin room and will clearly depend on when you go.
They do have other adapted rooms without the ceiling track hoist and other extras you get in a suite and I had to call to make my booking, they were very efficient and helpful on the phone.
This is the best adapted facility we have stayed in.

Excellent room with superb ceiling hoist, very easy to use. Plenty of space in Wet Room. Very impressed with helpful staff. Was told about Refuge area on our floor in event of emergency. This was very welcome and comforting to know about. First ever visit to Glasgow, because of converted room. Will definitely visit again. Lovely city and very friendly helpful locals.

I stayed here with my husband in June. The hotel was lovely. There was only one hoist mechanism which had to be moved between the bedroom and bathroom which was not ideal. The ceiling heights in the bedroom and bathroom were different and so needed to remember to leave enough length on the hoist to be able to reach it. The track in the bathroom went over the toilet but finished at the side of the shower not near enough to the shower seat. The staff were very helpful and tried to ease these problems. A separate shower chair was found but it was not on wheels. I also felt it would have been better if the room was not on the 15th floor. In the event of a fire it would be long way to evacuate a wheelchair user down to the ground floor. We would be unlikely to stay there again unless amendments were made.

Amazing hotel!
Room was very accessible. Celiling track hoist over bed and a ceiling track hoist in bathroom but these were separate tracks, they did not join from room to room but this wasn’t a problem. Very large bathroom which was brilliant. No commode or shower chair provided however and no separate shower, only a bath tub with a shower over. Hoist went over bath tub so I could be hoisted in there but for people with limited core strength who struggle to sit in a bath without an aid this might be difficult. No changing bench either. A sling was provided but I think it’s always best to take your own anyway!
Lovely hotel and helpful staff. Only other issue was the room wasn’t on the ground floor, there were two lifts but both were very small. I managed to just about get my average sized manual chair in but for people with bigger powered chairs this could pose a bit of an issue. There may have been other lifts that I didn’t see so might be worth contacting the hotel before hand.
Cardiff is very accessible, a great city, very flat and disabled friendly. There is a changing places toilet in the shopping centre also which was good!
