老皇冠酒吧飯店(The Old Crown)

Great old historic building to stay in around 10/15 minute walk from Birmingham New Street train station & Bullring shopping centre. Nice bar downstairs with large beer garden & food available. Tall people will have to be careful of the low beams. Shared bathrooms were clean & looked to be kept tidy.

For a building built in the 14th Century you would expect things to not be so up to date. Well, yes there was that to some degree. The TV remote did not work for example. Suppose it is because the Tele was not invented until the 19th Century so I should have expected this. However the service should also not have been from the 14th Century either. I was left waiting for about 20 minutes to check in. Good job I was not in a rush to go back to the 21st Century at that moment in time. Ok once checked in (of sorts. I was only asked for my name and that was it) I was given the guided tour. Please note that the steps up to the bedroom from the main part and also the rear entrance are extremely steep and if you have issues with steps this is not the place for you. The bedroom was comfy. There was a TV that I could not watch due to the aforementioned remote not working. The outside was not so great. Major roadworks taking place. So even though it was quietish at night from not much traffic (after the bar closed at 23.30), at the start of the working day it was extremely loud with workmen drilling and cutting concrete. And then when I tried to leave, there was no one at the front of the bar, the front door was locked with an actual iron rod, and then having to try and get out the rear was like a krypton factor course of locked doors and slightly open ones. So decent but could be better.

Nice character but double bed was uncomfortable, no breakfast available even though it was supposedly included! Staff were helpful. Outside the road was being replaced in the whole street but this was not mentioned when booked, so noisy ftt et on 07:30 am on the Saturday morning!

Always stay here when in Bham fab pub fab atmosphere and Roy and Jo are fabulous an absolute credit to your hotel thanks for the chat and cup of tea 😁

Loved the building itself, has tons of charm. We went to a concert at O2 Institute and the location was perfect for that. Bathroom was nice, rooms okay considering the age of the building, but the bed was horrible. They had put a couple of extra pillows under my matress to build it up a little, but really, the bed was still horrible.

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

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.
