Extremely disappointing , wouldn’t recommend or pay more than £50 for rooms . Obviously managers not interested in this
Pros:

Location for what I needed
The 2 ladies and 1 gentleman that worked in the kitchen were fabulous

Cons:

Rooms too small and dirty, only superficial cleaning done. Huge cracks in walls that hasn’t been decorated since 70’s. Bathrooms filthy stained shower drains, never cleaned , cracked sinks

Staff and service were excellent. Very friendly and helpful on reception and at breakfast. Enjoyed the theming of room names on ground floor.

Our stay at Old Farm Hotel
Pros:

The friendliness of the staff & the location was great. The breakfast was lovely & licensed bar & rear outdoor seating area were both really appreciated given the weather. Staff really accommodating in allowing you to order & bring in take away food as there was no restaurant on site for evening meals

Cons:

The room was a bit small & basic. There was only room for one small chair, Limited space to put small items & some clothing apart from inset wardrobe to hang clothing up & room was very hot, although small air con unit was provided.

Lovely short break in a wonderful location
Pros:

Perfect location
Staff friendly and happy to help - found a spare fan for us when we asked
Lovely bar and garden in the evening
Bed very comfy
Lovely bathroom and shower
Very good value for money - would recommend

Cons:

Breakfast came out a little cold - this was due to ordering veggie sausages and was explained by staff
Coffee amenities were not refilled in the room (no milk)
Check in/out process relied on finding staff - possibly busier than usual due to wake/athletics being on - so this was not smooth

Pros:

Really friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast is really good too. Rooms and facilities are as you'd expect, the Terrasse in the garden is a nice benefit in good weather.

Cons:

Extremely hot rooms, but no-one can really fault that in a summer like this. Just good to be aware of in case you are sensitive about it.

A friendly, comfortable place to base your Birmingham visit
Pros:

The rooms are always spotless and front desk staff will do everything they can to make your stay problem free. The location is great, with just a 10 minute walk to the station and trains to New Street.
The kitchen ladies and chef are extremely accommodating and it's lovely to sit in the garden on a warm evening

Cons:

The bells ringing hourly from a nearby church but that's not the hotel's fault!! 🤣

Very nice very welcoming. Clean and well spacious room. Lovely shower, our room was upgraded Bonus.
Pros:

We had an early breakfast arranged prior. The breakfast chef was very obliging and done an egg on toast breakfast and a cup of tea before he had started his shift. Fantastic service thank you.

Cons:

The bar had limited days of the week, I did manage to get a drink from the receptionist, greatly appreciated. Restaurant would have been nice if open on a Tuesday as we had not eaten all day after a long trip and a hospital visit. But very clean and nice looking restaurant.
