The Old Crown is far & away the oldest property I've ever stayed at. It's a really neat piece of history.

Love staying here

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

The room was adequate for our one night but needed for it to be en-suite.

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.

Good location for 1 or 2 nights and for the price - for what I needed. Room OK - but basic details overlooked. A bed was obviously broken (mattress, base). An essential light over the sink in the room was also broken. A towel was ripped. There was noise - but not until very late (it IS a pub!)

top venue, close to town centre, very reasonable price for room. So impressed going back next July.

What a lovely gem. The house is from 1368! And it is absolutely beautiful!

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!

Hotel is vintage with a cool cultural touch

Lovely friendly staff, lovely clean room and bathroom is nice. Highly recommend.

Staff were very nice and friendly and the room itself was not bad for the money. The bar downstairs is also great. The major issue that the heritage building has no noise isolation at all. I went to bed after the bar downstairs had closed but noise from around the area (it is a busy area) was very loud through to around 0400. Noise isolation between rooms is also non-existent and when the couple next door retired to the bedroom, I cannot express how grateful I was that she resisted his generous proposal of coital relations. As mentioned the noise issue may not be resolvable due to the heritage status of the building but unfortunately in its current state it is not suitable for overnight stays.
