From the moment we arrived, the property was clean, well-maintained, and full of charm. The communication with the on-site representative was excellent—responsive, friendly, and helpful with every question or request.

Staying at Peter Scott House Birmingham was an unexpectedly peaceful experience.

The hotel offers basic amenities that are perfectly adequate for a 2-3 day visit—nothing fancy, but functional and clean. I appreciated the free parking, though it does fill up quickly, so arriving early is recommended. Breakfast is included, but honestly, I’d suggest heading to the café just around the corner instead—it’s more affordable and has better quality. The location is convenient, close to public transit, making it easy to explore central Birmingham. Overall, a solid choice if you're looking for comfort, value, and simplicity without the fuss.
Comfort Zone Serviced Apartments
From the very beginning, this stay was a nightmare. We were suddenly informed of a flooding issue and had to be relocated 20 minutes away—something completely unacceptable for a group of friends traveling together. The stress of rearranging transport and schedules was overwhelming. While they did change our rooms, it meant two people had to sleep on a regular sofa and a fold-up bed, despite paying for a 10-person capacity. In reality, we were only given space for six plus a non-sleeper sofa—no luxury here. The unit itself felt small, dirty, and worn out. Cupboards were filled with rubbish, yet we were expected to carry our own trash down just to get the deposit back. The location was also changed last minute, disrupting all our pre-booked plans. The street outside is deafening—way louder than a busy Manhattan avenue—with constant horns blaring. There’s a persistent unpleasant smell throughout the building, even though smoking is strictly prohibited. Appliances didn’t work properly, and old toiletries were left behind. Overall, this was an extremely poor experience—far from the standard one would expect from a serviced apartment. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
Comfort Inn Birmingham
This hotel is a wonderful find—clean, quiet, and very welcoming. The front deck is a nice little spot to relax, offering a peaceful vibe with just the right amount of quiet. Staff are friendly and polite, always greeting guests with a smile. It's conveniently located near the city center, making it easy to explore Birmingham by public transit. Great value for the price, and I’d definitely stay here again.
The Old Crown
Staying at The Old Crown was a delightful experience from start to finish. The rooms are cozy and well-appointed with tea and coffee facilities, a comfortable TV, and a welcoming atmosphere. The on-site bar is a real highlight—great food options, a wide selection of drinks, and live sports on screen make it perfect for relaxing evenings or catching up with friends. It's centrally located in Birmingham, making it easy to explore the city by foot or public transport. The overall vibe is warm and authentic, and the value for money is outstanding. I’d definitely come back and recommend this gem to anyone visiting Birmingham.
