Great stay.

Stayed here as I was watching a gig at Villa Park. Really friendly service and the drinks are cheaper than where I live! The resident cat gives the pub a great character. The room itself was more than adequate to get my head down, was clean. The only downside was it is an old building and the walls are thin so a bit of noise but for me i expected it. I will definitely stay there again if I'm in Birmingham.

I didn't like the fact that Expedia charge an additional 50% on the price of a night's stay at the Bull. This is highly excessive when the nightly rate when booked directly with the Bull is £40. You charge over £60!!!! Disgraceful.

I had a lovely stay at the bull. It's great pub with a menu full of classic dishes. It is very old but it's adds charm. The rooms are basic but clean and everything you need including good WiFi.

Parking right next door was very handy. £7.20 a day, done through the RingGo app which was easy to download and use eg extending stay after 24 hours. Staff friendly and helpful. Had a meal one evening and it was tasty and filling and good value. Beer options good - had 2 real ale pumps. Interesting decor in bar! Room reasonably priced but we were a bit disappointed. Had to find a hoover to do bedroom floor as it was a bit messy but rest of room/bathroom very clean. Single bed was rather tired- you could feel the springs, but double bed was very comfy. The blinds in the bathroom didn't quite fit. And we suggest using earplugs as the floorboards in the room above are very squeaky. However, Ellie the bar cat was lovely and came and sat by us which made it all worthwhile!

One night stay

One night stay to visit family. Checked in at the bar and shown to our room. Decent standard with comfortable beds and clean bedding. Water system a bit noisy and crack in shower tray which meant water leaked onto bathroom floor. Tea and coffee facilities and TV in room with wifi. Lovely traditional pub that served food. Cheap car park- only £7 for 24 hours. 8Would stay again.

Great place to stay - the room and pub are cute with antique furniture. Not the most luxurious room, but it has everything you need, is nice and spacious, and I can't fault it for the price.

A good cost option for staying in Birmingham City Centre and the Pub downstairs is cosy and encourages you to have a couple. Its great that there are still places like this available. Got a nice cat too.
