The Aston Tavern is such a beautiful building and the room I stayed in was just as breathtaking. I personally loved it's traditional, eclectic aesthetic and extremely comfortable beds. The bathroom was gorgeous with a great shower and complimentary Clarins products! There was a lot of choice at breakfast and the staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. I would most definitely stay at the Aston Tavern again when return to Birmingham.

Nothing really, I'd only say that from the outside of the property you can't tell how beautiful it is inside. I would highly recommend to anyone on the fence to go ahead and book!

Absolutely outstanding! The hotel is very clean, well-maintained and stylishly decorated (Victorian-style). The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were received very warmly. The hotel has a tavern - a typical real English pub, which is incredibly impressive. The pub is a must visit on a match day. For tourists who want to be at the Aston Villa match, there is no better place to stay. Definitely recommended! Excellent English breakfast

Friendly staff. Great period decor even though it was a complete renovation in the last 10 years. Keeps the authentic "peaky blinder" feel. Fantastic location for Villa Park. Would definitely stay again. Despite being directly below an overpass, noise was not an issue.

Notice going on locally apart from drinking in the pub itself. Any restaurants or things to do all require a short drive

The breakfast was really good, a true English breakfast was a huge full plate just couldn’t eat it all, also there was cereals, fresh juice, yoghurts, fruit continental breakfast, all quality produce , and tea in a china teapot with matching tea cups was a lovely touch.The rooms was all divine you can feel the pure history which the owners have researched and named each of the rooms after owners going back hundred of years, the rooms were all beautiful and each in different colour scheme, the hotel has been finished off to a high standard of decoration in the Victorian theme, with beautiful chandeliers in the bar area, this hotel is a hidden treasure run as a family business where you can see the owner takes pride in his hotel there’s no short cuts,a very friendly guy, even in the bedrooms there’s china cutlery, expensive biscuits and beautiful en-suite bathroom with robes for your convenience, the toiletries was all Clarins branded with lovely fluffy white towels. We go to a lot of hotels and this is by far the most welcoming, accommodating, charming decoration, no stone unturned property we have as yet stayed in, we will Definitely be returning in the future.

The front of the building does not do the hotel an ounce of justice, when we parked in the car park my husband said shall we go somewhere else as there was scaffold all surrounding it plus looks a bit dingy until we walked inside then was wowed ,and thankful I found it online .

Very friendly staff, lovely garden and courtyard. Very nice, bright breakfast room and accommodation rooms great presentation

A little more freedom as we needed to be let out of the hotel and Tony had to let us in when we returned but he was very quick to respond. Too ad the bar was closed but all minor inconveniences

The people - Paul and chef and our chat in the morning. Just fantastic people. Decor was pretty lovely in the rooms. Generous breakfast.

These aren't criticisms, more observations about location. A little traffic noise early in the morning. Place looked a little dark on arrival - but I understand we don't need all the lights on! Not loads of places to eat on foot - 25 mins on foot - but in a car you'd have no problem at all. People more than made up - and lifted spirits.

The service was outstanding, especially the man at reception. He waited for us at 2:00 in the morning and allowed us to check out late at 12:00 in the evening. His service made us feel like we were at home. It was one of the best experiences I've had in the service industry

Nothing much.

Perfect location for match day at Villa Park. Some nice touches in the rooms. Easy to get to the train station to go to the Bull Ring etc. Breakfast was really good.

was very quiet in terms of guests so the pub was only opened if we needed it. only one other family staying. Rooms were oldy-woldy but great to see and experience.

The lovely rooms and cleanliness

The property was great and all the staff were lovely… including the owner and his daughter … unfortunately we were in our bedroom ready to check out when the owner started to shout at one of the staff about drinking coffee whilst on shift .. The language he used towards this staff was terrible and very upsetting for us … We don’t know who he was shouting at but after treating us with respect and being very friendly this behaviour shocked us … and for that reason we won’t stay again .. Shame because it’s very interesting place but if he was upset by the staff taking a break whilst they should have been working..he could have done the telling off in private… Felt very sorry for the staff on the receiving end of his rage ….

This is the best hotel we've ever stayed in , we came for the commonwealth games . The staff were so unbelievably helpful and kind . Providing my young daughter with food when we got back late. The bed was so comfortable, the room was beautiful and the food was amazing. If we ever return to Birmingham this will be the only place we will stay.

Only downside was the location we came by train and although only a 5 mins walk it wasn't the best the hotel definitely felt out of place for the area. Travel links both train and bus were however close and easily accessible .
