About The Old Crown
Shopping at the Bullring and trains from New Street Station are both within easy walking distance of The Old Crown, on the High Street in central Birmingham. The area also has plenty of pubs, bars and restaurants nearby, along with entertainment options, making it a practical base for exploring the city on foot.
The hotel itself occupies a historic building with plenty of character, and its 9 rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi and drinks available in the room. Guests can store luggage at the property, useful for those arriving before check-in or heading straight to the station. Downstairs, the restaurant and bar are the heart of the place, known for hearty food, a particularly good Sunday roast, and a solid range of beers, served by staff who are consistently helpful and friendly.
Outside, there's a garden and picnic area to sit in when the weather allows, and for those wanting to venture further afield, golf, fishing and cycling can all be arranged nearby. It's a small, characterful hotel rather than a large chain, so anyone wanting extensive facilities on site should look elsewhere - but for a central, atmospheric stay with good food on the doorstep, it does the job well.

What guests say
Visiting The Old Crown was a wonderful experience. The building itself is amazing. So much history. The drinks were perfect and the food was delicious. The staff were extremely helpful and entertaining. They even gave us some suggestions on what to see in some of the other cities we are visiting on our road trip across the U.K. I highly recommend stopping in if you're ever in Birmingham.

Absolutely stunning location of you like history and pubs. The rooms are old but well kept. And the one we stayed in had a lovely boom in the bathroom to sit and read. Since its an old building at least the rooms e stayed in was not really soundproof to the street but that was clear to me when I booked it so only don't be surprised afterwards. Food is absolutely amazing with a large selection of vegetarian options. And the pub is amazing.

Had my first British Sunday roast here and really enjoyed it. Loved the flavors the chicken was juicy and tender. Also loved the atmosphere, quirky yet medieval feel to it. The only downside was the chicken was a bit on the small side and I feel like you don't get a lot for the price for the main roast and was still very hungry after.

Amazing as always! The Guinness is well poured and the food is good. We booked online for a big group and they confirmed it very fast. Good communication and they were super helpful! Thank you for having us during the World Cup 💖 A special thank you to the staff JJ and Guy and all the team 💪🏽🍻
