Comfortable, convenient and reasonably priced.
Pros:

Warm, friendly staff. Clean, well-appointed room. Excellent location. Very nice meal in hotel restaurant.

Cons:

I have stayed 3 times in ground floor rooms. Hotel is always very accommodating of this request. However, on each occasion there are two (small) single beds made up separately and pushed together to form a ?double. My one consistent request is that they do something about this. If it is a twin room then the two singles need to be bigger and if it is a double then it needs to be a proper double bed.

Nice stay, great view, good breakfast, but it is not very accesible.
Pros:

The view was nice, the room had enough space, and good little bathroom.
The windows opened very well.
Breakfast was a full english in a nice hall in the Edgbaston Hotel building across the street, so we just picked up the car to go back and forth.

Cons:

The Peter Scott is a university building, so it has an excessive number of fire safety doors. This means anyone with movement disabilities will have a difficult time pushing through all the doors. Remember that this isn't a hotel building, but a university conference building (logings).
When you enter, there are several sets of doors and a lift, then more sets of doors, so for someone in a mobility scooter or wheelchair isn't only nominally accessible, but in reality, not usable. Ideally you have your travel partner open doors for you.
There's no disability parking at the Peter Scott building. This would've been a deal breaker if my husband hadn't been able to park the car at the Hotel building and walk to the Peter Scott at the end of the day and pick the car up by walking there in the morning.
The breakfast is in the Edgbaston hotel building across a busy street, and that should be made clear before booking.
We asked for no perfumes in the room, but it had been perfumed, but we could open up enough windows for many hours before we needed to sleep there.

A good alternative to heading into the city centre
Pros:

Nice towels, kettle, coffee, tea etc. Handy for attending university meetings as there isn’t much choice in the area. Uni has a Wetherspoons and a coop on site too so you can go there for cheaper food options

Cons:

Bathrooms have been kept going for way too many years. Shower cubicle looked dirty but was just worn. Tiles were broken, leaving sharp bits near entrance to shower. Lack of staff on site is a bit of a concern- there’s people in the main hotel but nobody down near this building.

A good place to stay
Pros:

I liked the staff and service. The buffet breakfast was excellent as always. Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs is always a winner.

Cons:

The pillows were a bit too firm and the room was very warm. However, a desk fan is provided. I just wished the windows would open a little more. There are parts of the room and bathroom that look a bit tired and the shower is small. But, the water pressure was great. A mini fridge would be great.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war für eine Tagung an der Universität perfekt gelegen und mit dem Bus auch an die Stadtmitte angebunden. Das Zimemr selbst war gemütlich und das Personal hat bei einem Problem mit der Dusche sehr schnell reagiert.

Cons:

Das Bad war etwas basic, was aber aufgrund der Lage des Zimmers in einer Studierendenunterkunft zu erwarten war.
