Very nice spotless room but very cold due to motion activated heating system that did not work properly, ended up having a fan heater. All staff very helpful and polite.
Great location for visiting the city centre. Shame about the £15 parking fee. Advised on booking that if we had booked direct with Best Western, the car park is free.
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!
Staff were friendly and helpful and the old part of the hotel where we stayed was full of gorgeous oak panelling and high-ceilings rooms with cornicing. Our room (one level higher than standard) was clean and spacious with a large bathroom and facilities including hairdryer and iron. The sausages and bacon at breakfast were better than the budget offerings in many hotels. The shower we easily the best I’ve ever had in a uk hotel. Only gripes were a tv that only worked on certain channels, and no soap in the bathroom. I found the mattress and pillows too soft, but that was a personal preference and not the view of my roommate. Given the price of the room, great value.
The hotel was a sensible price and the room was excellent loads of room with usable furniture and great bathroom , we had a problem with a TV and it was fixed within an hour , breakfast was ok all in all great value

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.
Excellent breakfast beautifully cooked. Best cooked breakfast I've had in any UK hotel. Ukrainian lady attending the dining room was very pleasant and attentive. Room comfortable if a tad cold on arrival (Mid Nov 2025). Instructions given at check-in for getting to my room were unclear; one option apparently being to drag my luggage through the dining room. Took the other option of traversing the overflow car park instead.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, older parts of the hotel look really great, old fashioned dark wood with a ton of character

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I found the room was clean tidy and adequate at the price point unfortunately there was a problem with the heating and it was an extremely cold night. I was provided with a small electric heater but it wasn’t the best night for me. Also probably my own fault but I didn’t realise until my booking confirmation that there was a separate charge (£15) for parking.

A nice hotel with easy access to getting to Central Birmingham
Reception guy super welcoming, room was ready on arrival, kitchen had just closed but they made food for me, bar open, kept checking all was ok with myself and colleague, breakfast staff were super nice and helpful, very accommodating. parking secure and only £15 for whole of next day, very pleasant staff and 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.
Great hotel, wonderful food, excellent entertainment (beautiful lady singer in red singing Christmas songs) and brilliant staff! Great place to eat, stay and relax.
