Birmingham’s micro-hotel cuts space and prices

Accommodation at Birmingham’s Hotel Nitenite might not be known for its spacious and airy rooms, but it appears as though many seeking lodging in this city are willing to forgo several square feet of personal space, in exchange for much lower prices. Rooms at Nitenite are a rather “cozy” 10 feet by seven in size, and also come with lower than average ceilings. Yet at £39.95 per night, accommodation prices are also noticeably lower than that offered by many other hotels in this city.  Although small in size, Nitenite’s rooms come with all the standard amenities that one has come to expect, and some extra as well. Rooms are equipped with 42 inch plasma televisions, a large comfortable bed, padded walls, innovative control panels used to adjust lighting, room temperature and to make use of an intercom, as well as a modern shower.  This Birmingham hotel is comprised of 104 of these rather petite rooms, but those looking for more space can rest assured that the hotel’s lobby is quiet and spacious, and as such may be ideal for those looking for a quiet read. Additionally, even if guests may have to sacrifice some of their personal space, the hotel does guarantee that all room are especially quiet, as walls and ceilings are full soundproof—something that cannot be said of many older hotels. Nitenite caters to Britain’s growing budget travel market, in which clients are willing to forgo a few comforts in exchange for lower prices. Discount hotels in the UK now take in more than £1 billion in revenue each year.
