Old Crown Hotel

Cold room no heating. No hairdryer, no bedside tables. Noisy. Beautiful building

Nov 2024 - This is a very old pub, persevered very well and in keeping with it's original historic 656 year old design. Great food and drink selection and wonderful staff. With that in mind, it is a pub, and therefore very noisy until around 12am later at weekends. As it's old it's also very creaky, so expect to here residents walking to and from the bathroom / toilets. The rooms are what you'd expect in keeping with an old building and a little cold in winter. The bathrooms are separate and shared with plenty of hot water, but the mattresses are awful, I ended up sleeping on the floor. The Old Crown is about 25 mins walk from the town centre with a 1 in 4 hill climb. Sadly though the surrounding area is run down, with graffiti and building rubble everywhere. Overall I really enjoyed the place, but it's location lets it down.

Always love staying in this pub and this time an added bonus of an Oktoberfest night had a fabulous time as our gig was cancelled comfy bed and a good price highly recommend

A nice little hotel but it is a bar with a 1am licence, this means of a saturday night i stayed there was alot of sound leakage, i recon midweek it probably calmer, the riom was nice and i had a heavy discount thanks to this site loyalty so well worth the £17 i paid,

One very badly lit room. The curtains were torn in the bedroom. Bathroom had no curtains or blinds so light was coming into the room from early morning. Over priced for what is a poor quality room.

Really noisy throughout night- lots of car horns in the area, late night talking and doors banging in the hotel/pub. Pub is the oldest in West Midlands and seems very popular, but area immediately opposite is run down and ready for re development.

Never again

Room was fantastic. Service was very friendly too, even going above and beyond.

The Old Crown is far & away the oldest property I've ever stayed at. It's a really neat piece of history.

super clean and well quiet room above perfectly located very old school boozer (the oldest in brum?) watch out for the low beams on your way to the room. m

Love staying here

No parking as advertised when I booked a year ago. It's basically a night club in the garden, so just be aware it wasn't a quiet stay. The communal bathrooms were very clean and a great shower. Nice pub downstairs. All in All good value for the night

Would book here again, friendly staff. Very close to coach station

The room was adequate for our one night but needed for it to be en-suite.

Noisy

Great location

This is the oldest pub in Birmingham, the refurbishment is excellent keeping with history of pub. Rooms are lovely. Location fab. The sub is lively at night and has a large covered garden playing music late into the night. Loved it.

Good location for 1 or 2 nights and for the price - for what I needed. Room OK - but basic details overlooked. A bed was obviously broken (mattress, base). An essential light over the sink in the room was also broken. A towel was ripped. There was noise - but not until very late (it IS a pub!)

top venue, close to town centre, very reasonable price for room. So impressed going back next July.
