I stayed in Peter Scott House, which is part of the hotel. I needs some serious work doing on the bathroom. The tray was damanged and stained and the water was far from even. Not what I would expect from a hotel. The breakfast in the main hotel is good but when the hotel is full there is not enough room, notably on Sunday.

If it is hot then the rooms are hot. There is no aircon so the best you can do is stretch the fan as close to the window as possible to get some air circulating.

‘Okay’ perfectly sums up Peter Scott house.

Parking, check-in and breakfast are all at the neighbouring and much more appealing, ‘look at what you could’ve won’ Edgbaston Park Hotel. You’re then directed back across the road, with your luggage, to Peter Scott House.

Having to unlock the front door with your room key (not key card) was red flag number one. The building is very similar to a military block, with old carpets and creaky wooden doors. The rooms are quite noisy with very thin walls. You’ll know every time your neighbours turn on a light switch or decide to flush their loo. The decor of the room itself is okay, but the bathrooms are very small and dated.

All of this can be excused at a low price point, but at £140, I’ve stayed in much, much nicer accommodation.

As a one night, business need, it’s functional. If you were staying for leisure, I’d spend the small amount more and stay over the road at Edgbaston Park. You’ll be walking over there for your breakfast anyway.

I rated it overall at 5 stars but if posible I’d give it 5and a half stars since the issues are easy to fix.
There were a few cosmetic issues in bathroom (eg cracked base of shower) and the shower head itself needs replacing or fixing because it occasionally gave spirts of cold and hot water.
But it was a still much better than other rooms we’ve stayed for a similar price close to the university.

Reception is in a different hotel making it very strange as if anything was to happen I don’t know what staff would even be in to help. Make sure you read check in instructions as there’s none when you enter to tell you where to go . Car park is described as at the hotel but is actually across the road in a different car park. Wasn’t described as this being in student accommodation or else I wouldn’t have bothered . Room was very small, bathroom badly needs redone with marks all over shower floor. Room is super crammed and can hear pipe works and also the rooms next door / hallway and was awoken both nights with people in the hallways . No facilities in the hotel such as kettle , fridge etc and I’ve paid a lot less for a hotel that’s came with these . Definitely not the price it should be and should be a lot cheaper for what it actually is

The room was very basic- its an annexe of the main hotel and is obviously very well used. The shower tray was damaged and worn and a bit dated, but clean. The decor in the communal area was also tired. The hotel was handy for the uni which it was what i wanted. Main downside was the noise of the central heating or water or something. There was an intermittent rumbling or thrum all night which spoilt the stay. I would go back but avoid room 210!
The main hotel was where we had breakfast and it was fine. The bar area was also nice.

Nothing special but clean, quiet and comfortable. The shower/ensuite was adequate but showing wear and the shower did not drain well. The listing says that laundry is available but be aware that this is a laundry service and the rates are incredibly high! £11.50 to launder a single t-shirt!!! We did not use this service, although we had counted on it! Otherwise though, this was a good option for our needs.

There is a lot to like about this property, good location, clean room and the price was good. We did not mind the walk from the main conference centre reception, where the staff were very helpful. However, several things would stop me booking again.
On arrival we found that the lift was out of order and had been for some time, the entrance area carpet was covered in flimsy plastic walkway strips despite the dry weather. Don't have carpet if you don't want it walked on.
The room was overheated despite it being cold outside and no sign of the radiator being on. The windows were locked closed.
The bathroom was in dire need of an update, the shower tray was chipped and had multiple areas of rust.

Ideal location for the University of Birmingham

The hotel is ideally suited for visits to Birmingham University. The University railway station is only a 10-15 mins (approx) walk away. Unfortunately, the ensuite bathroom was a bit dated and the shower tray had some cosmetic damage. The room was a bit too hot and the mechanism for the Roman blinds wasn't working properly. One of the bedside lights didn't work properly either. It was OK for a short stay.

Breakfast was served in a building about a 3-5 minute walk away. There was a great choice and the restaurant was very nice. You also had to collect your key from this building too.

We were extremely disappointed when the property was viewed on hotels.com the majority of photos used are that of the main hotel.

On arrival to the external accommodation the lift was not working, then when we plugged in our phone charger rhe electrics blew. The shower over flowed when being used as the drainage was extremely poor and the facilities extremely dated. There was no literature or information showing menus, restaurant and bar opening times local buses, taxi numbers etc..

I had room 6, which is clearly designed for people with access issues. Nothing wrong with that, the bathroom was essentially a wet room. Again, nothing wrong with that. The shower head seemed quite small and without much power. It also was at a maximum height that only reached to just below shoulder level. I am not particularly tall, 177cm. I’d have liked to be able to stand upright and wash my hair.

The double bed was actually two narrow single beds, made up separately.
