Nice location. Needed to pay extra for breakfast which we couldn't do as breakfast was from 8am and we needed to be elsewhere by then. Including breakfast and having an earlier start time would have made this an ideal location.

I was just staying one night as my partner was having an operation at the hospital... nice and Central for the hospital..... I was lucky and had an ensuite room.... I would not have been able to stay and share facilities.....I had porridge for breakfast which was ok but there wasn't any honey or fresh fruit to add to it.... bit disappointed about that.... I left my phone charger in my room and staff have been very kind and sending it back to me.. Bed was comfortable, didn't like the lights over the bed they far too bright and couldn't move them in such a way that they didn't blind me. Couldn't get the tv to work but by then I was too exhausted to do anything about it....had to boil kettle on floor as no plug sockets near the kettle etc. Would I stay here again? If I wanted a cheap value for money price near to the hospital it would suffice..... I kept my car there at the awentsbury and got a taxi there and back.... very reasonable rates with no worries or stress of parking in the hospital car park

Dreadful stay
The experience of staying in this hotel is horrible. I certainly would not touch it again. First the hotel staff stole my stuff from the baggage case - this is utterly intolerable!!!!! Othere issues were: (1) the hotel staff was rude and not helpful (2) the room and bedding staff were dirty (3) the heater was turned off during the night and given it is an very old house (poor insulation), the room was very cold (4) there was one day when the hot water and heater were completely broken down and thus there were no hot water and heater at all. Hotel was not even bother to appologize for the inconvenience.

Truly Awful - Avoid at all costs
Our stay can only be described as awful. Terrible even. in my whole life I have never encountered such a horrible place. We left after one night due to various quality issues - no soap in dispenser, no shower gel, light in ensuite above sink did not work, floor not sealed properly at shower tray, hairs in shower tray, and toilet seat broken and insecure. From a safety point of view the faceplate from one of the wall sockets was hanging off the wall, as was the faceplate for a (unused ?) telephone socket. Mattress was completely worn and provided absolutely no support - you could feel the springs. The Manageress was very helpful but was clearly constrained by what the owner allowed her to do. Overall we felt the place was like a doss-house, and we left a day early. It is a disgrace that Hotels.com list this "place". Our request for a refund for the second night was refused even though we had to go to a relatives to use their bathroom to wash and clean up.

Very tired hotel. Convenient location for uni
Booked as close to the University where I was attending a course. I was surprised at how many rooms there were potentially sharing the bathrooms. I'm not sure how many(if any) have ensuite but there seemed to be a lot of rooms sharing the facilities which i hadn't expected. There were two separate toilets one bathroom (bath only) and a shower room all of which were incredibly dated. I had a single room which had a basin in, furnishing were basic and on the whole the room was incredibly tired. It felt more like a hostel than a hotel. Area is nice, convenient for the uni. Service was Ok, had to ask where the facilities were no real customer service.

An ok place to stay for a night
Nice staff. Let me leave my car there the whole of the following day. Great for Edgbaston cricket - half hour walk - uphill on way back! As others have said, hotel is clean but run down and dolls do with a some TLC. Mattresses are sprung and soft. Wood chip wallpaper painted many times. Tea and coffee in room. A few sockets. Shower pressure low. Didn't stay for breakfast as it was served between 8-9am and we wanted to leave at 8.30 but smell was good as we left. Door to room didn't lock from inside and no handle on inside of ensuite door. All said and done, it was ok.

In need of a complete facelift. No toilet roll in
We got down for breakfast at 8 and my poached eggs came at 9.15. I think they had been cooking that long as well. They were inedible. No apologies from staff. Everyone in the breakfast room had to wait that long as well. One lady only ordered a sausage and it came on the plate shrivelled up. I certainly wouldn’t go back there

Excellent location only 2 miles from city centre
The hotel phoned the week before to double check my booking and when we arrived our rooms were exactly as ordered. It is a large roomy house and had a slightly dated feel but that didn't detract from the experience. The full English breakfast in the morning was excellent.

I booked because it was cheap. The woman at front desk was not too cheerful. The room was musky and had woodchip wallpaper (says it all!). Cobweb in bathroom. Bath towels a bit on the small size. The shower was a joke. Nice view of a church through the window. That was the best feature. Slept ok though. Ok for one night but definitely no longer than that.

Nothing to do with hotel as I have never been there. But I got a bad experience with Expedia as they kept 2 booking hide in the site, in my account, not visible or easily available to cancel, so it passed as an active booking and they charge me. Very dangerous site.
