It was very central to Solihull, we could easily explore and had coffee house's and restaurants a moments walk away. Complementary coffee & tea already in the room was much appreciated. A ready to go Netflix account made it easy to relax in the evening and find a show we like. It was clean, tidy and had enough space for 2 people on a light trip. The host, we never met in person, however we had very positive interactions through messages / emails. The ensuit was exactly what you’d expect, simple shower, toilet and sink and that’s all we needed. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in too.

The window of the room was rather thin, meaning that a lot of the street noise came into the room. We attempted to pad the window up with scarves and blankets that we had. Although this would all be wet in the morning due to the condensation in the room. We totally appreciate that the window was not to be opened, however it did make things hot and stuffy at times. When originally looking at and booking the property it was not made clear to us that a £200 security deposit would be needed to stay at the room. We were only notified of this 3 days before we intended to check in, as we had not accounted this into our budget for the trip it was a little bit of a shock. Being more transparent about this and having it stated on the rooms listing would be all that is needed. Do not mislead people to book the room and then be in a position where it would cost more to cancel the room than to pay the deposit.

no problem getting something to eat. a mini fridge in the room helped. The hosts even offered me dinner and were full of local info. One note. If you are a VERY light sleeper bring ear plugs to drown out O'Neills across the road. if you like to party, bring your party dress. I wouldn't say luxury but very nice fits very well. I would stay there again

Listed building so owners cant put in double glazing
