The Kingstanding Inn

Was a quick trip to my folks so was handy. Staff are friendly enough and manager john was lovely in sorting out a mix up . The area is a big rough but that not the hotel fault n they have security cameras as any place. Our only fault really was they have a DJ or singer down below and music on weekends goes on u til quite late that u can hear in the room so rather noisy n difficult to get early night. N they had a fab reggae singer n night on the plus side.

There are no words - and not in a good way. On arrival, the place was very run down and unclean. Our rooms however were clean, yet the toilet smelt horrific - of damp and drains. I had to use another room to go to the toilet it smelt that bad. Our room faced onto the car park, where the pub windows below us were open, playing loud music until half 11/12. This wouldn’t have been a problem if we kept our windows closed but no fans were provided in the room and therefore windows needed to stay open. Ontop of this, groups of teenagers milled around in the carpark, smoking cigarettes and weed, and playing music from their cars. This went on well pass midnight. They were not customers of the pub downstairs and just drove in for a social. Overall, the place was so run down, stank of smoke and damp. I will NOT be returning and suggest anyone else should go else where.

A basic hotel but my room was clean tidy and quiet despite this being an Inn. Food was tasty and well presented. Car parking in hotels own carpark. Easy access into Birmingham Central. Only down no tea or coffee in room.

Booked two rooms that were clean in general bar the odd wall mark, towels were clean and some basic toilitires provided, but very basic room and quite small like a dorm room. There was a TV with Freeview channels in each room which was nice and apparently private WiFi but no password was given on check in. Check in itself was right in the middle of the pub on a Saturday night so not a great experience for a non drinker. Unfortunately there was a smell coming from the toilet plumbing which did not disappear in the room I was in, but all was okay in the second room we had booked. The real downsides was the open cannabis use from some of the pub customers downstairs at the entrance which was not very pleasing for a family to see or have to walk past. Parking was next door and was okay. Cheap overall but I would not recommend this for a family at all, stick to a more conventional place and pay a little extra. Also the area was a little questionable in general

Enjoyed it. Room was gd. Timed it well for a gd band in the bar.
