Due to major construction in The Mailbox basin we have moved Away2stay down to Gas Street Basin until the works are finished. A new set of steps are being installed to provide an improved access to the businesses down on the quayside. They are much wider and less of a steep incline looking more inviting to those walking out into the open as they will go all the way up to the level outside the glass doors leading out from the interior. Construction should be completed by Mid April so the boats can then return into a basin which will be 20 feet approximately shorter. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you in locating us.

From M6 North or South follow signs to A38M city centre and keep in centre/outside lanes at all times. Do not leave on any slip road. The two outside lanes go over a flyover swinging to right over local roads and roundabout. Look for Aston University and City Fire Station on left. Go through Tunnel marked St Chads and pass directly through second tunnel following signs for A34.
On leaving second tunnel take gap onto slip road and NOT down into next underpass. This slip road sign posted to New Street Station leads to roundabout on top of underpass. Take 4th exit which is a complete circuit of roundabout and head back in the direction you came on the other side of dual carriage way, turn into The Mailbox service road and take the far left entrance into the car park. Follow the yellow band all the way up to Level 3. Enter the lift on that floor and go to Level 7, turn right out of the lift with the BBC entrance across to the left and walk through the glass doors at the rear of The Mailbox and the Hotelboat is moored in the basin.
