Staff were wonderful
Linda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really like this place - it’s not perfect but it’s still a fantastic place to stay. It’s always spotless. The beds are just amazing. Big windows for lots of light. Even the rooms that haven’t been refurbished yet have a nice old world charm about them!
Joshua, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Whilst not unclean, rooms were a little tired and dated however, well priced and good access via Hagley road into the city centre. Great dedicated car parking onsite, although chargeable reasonable price for Birmingham. Good accomodation in comparison to some of the more expensive chain hotels. Staff very courteous and helpful. Nice pub serving Bar food and Drinks.

My 2nd stay

This was my 2nd stay at Plough & Harrow. I love the quaint hotel, roughly midway between the university and the city center. The building is showing its age, but it is perfectly fine. The best part of the hotel is the staff. They were supremely helpful, particularly Yana. I also enjoyed the delicious breakfast. It offered enough variety that I didn't repeat my meal over the several days I was there.
Michael, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice staff. All generally good but could do with a refresh
Phillip, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

An unloved room, in a wing of an unloved hotel

The room was adequate and the location of this hotel is good for getting into the city centre. There are also many restaurants within a relatively short distance. The room was in a wing at back of hotel. It felt quite separate. There was no room service during the 3 night stay. Some areas of room (e.g. TV screen) had old stains that had been there for some time.

Valentin, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Alright for a quick night.

Staff were helpful when arounda although local knowledge and assistance was lacking. Reception desk no always manned so had to call and wait for staff. Its an interesting building but it is showing its age in the rooms. Fold out bed mattress for child was in really poor condition. Metal bars/slats were not covered. Kitchen not running over a weekend was surprising.

Great For Arena and City Centre

Good location for the Utilia Arena, 15 mins walk. Friendly check in, good sized clean room. Breakfast staff were very polite, food was excellent, good choice, cooked properly with everything available. Only downside was not being able to open the windows, fan helped, it was very hot!
PAUL, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place to get your head down if working in Birmingham
Dale, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible Experience

Room very old fashioned and dirty (someone needs to learn how to clean mirrors!) we were told that our rooms were the refurbished ones? looking at all the stains on the walls I really don't think so. Hot water coming out of cold tap, told staff 3 times during our stay but just said they will report it to maintenance upon check out, they do not replenish or service your room and we were not told on check in, we just got told we should have read the welcome pack in the room (whoever reads them?) we asked for toilet rolls, clean towels etc... at 3pm, we finally got them at 7pm. Not a pleasant stay which spoiled our annual trip to HOYS - will NEVER stay here again and I suggest other people avoid!
