Minworth Lodge

Although we knew this was a club we didn’t realise it stayed open to 1am returned to Jo where to park, youths everywhere, broken glasses over car park, doors being banged till well over 2.30 am so no sleep

Staff on check in were good polite and helpful on getting keys the room very basic but looked ok booked as going to family event. On returning at 6:30 the room smelled of smoke, which continued all night, there was a party booked in bar area which started at 7pm with loud music which continued until 1:15am but because it was spring the clocks when forward so it was really 2:15am then it was the party customers shouting screaming and arguing for a further 30/40 minutes also some were staying overnight so they were shouting and banging doors. So hardly any sleep which was a shame as the bed was quite comfortable with lovely crisp linen. There was no bin at all, nowhere to hand clothes, the toilet moved and leaked every time you sat on it and the shower was dirty and mouldy, the windows were so dirty you couldn’t see out of them also the TV didn’t work and you couldn’t make tea or coffee and couldn’t go to the bar to order any as there was a private party on would I recommend no. It’s cheap for a reason just a lot of reasons

Parking good. Friendly. Heating didnt work but fortunately it wasnt that cold. Clean. Very good value for the money we paid.

I liked this place, rough and ready though, I thought I was walking into the Liberal House in Tamworth, they must have used the same decorator at the same time. Even the holes in the wall matched. Feral kids running up and down the hallways at midnight. Parking was haphazard as owners seemed to just park where their cars stopped. However I quite liked the place, the room was relatively quiet and comfortable. The canal was a short walk away and a couple of nice pubs too.

Loud music from two competing events at either end of the venue until 2am followed by fireworks. This was like staying in a night club. In the morning the carpark was covered in broken glass. Our stay here spoiled an annual family get together.

I have never stayed at a hotel this horrible The noise was so loud noone could sleep 2 competing discos followed byfireworks at 2 am The bed covers were stained Shower didn't work The fire door next to my room was left open all night and so my room smelt of cigarettes People were fighting in the car park The next morning the main door was locked so we could only exit by the fire exit There were no staff around to complain to before we left The car park was littered with broken glass as we left

What can I say? The room and en-suite was lean and tidy. However, if you want a good night’s sleep, dream on. The connecting door to the bar and room corridor was constantly opening and the music / karaoke suddenly belted out at Mach four volume. When the door was shut, I could still hear the cat being strangled on the karaoke. Then at 2 in the morning, 2 female voices woke me up with their loud discussion on rooms. Night 2 was worse with disco night turning into let’s get ready to rumble at closing time. Certain individuals decided to have a standup Barney and slanging match that keep going til 1.30am. Thank god on night 3 I remembered my painkillers and actually got some sleep. Again the room was clean and tidy but if your looking for a peaceful place to sleep, I would say take ear defence, as you’ll need it

I must having checked in during a disco as the music was ear splittingly loud and check in was done at the bar. The room only had a small amount of toilet roll, and I didnt really want to go back and ask for more. There were holes in some of the walls and the window would close so I had to out the heater on really high to warm up the room. I wouldnt choose to stay here again.

Parking was ok and safe enough. Disapointed I was told breakfast from 0800 the bar area was lock up. Phone manager and he said breakfast was from 0900. When I check in I was given leaflet that said from 0800 am I went to Cafe Buttie 4 mins away in car

Stayed at The Minworth Lodge for two nights. Staff were lovley and very helpful you have to check in at the bar. Room was small but comfortable and clean. Bathroom was basic but good value for the price and ok for a couple of nights. Shower was great. Bathrooms could do with a repaint but the air extractor is not powerful enough to remove all the moisture. Sleep was great the bed was very comfortable. Will stay here on next visit 100% thank you!

The room was dirty on arrival. Blood on the towels. We didnt end up staying and left for another hotel.

Comfortable room very comfortable bed shower was amazing the only downside was the mould stain on the bathroom ceiling the breakfast was amazing the staff were really helpful and friendly i will definitely stay here again thank you for a delightful stay

The main lounge is crawling with flies. Multiple bathrooms have mold on the walls. The rooms have a horrible stench. The locks on the door are cheaply made, and anyone can see through them. I could easily hear what other people were doing late at night so it was hard extremely hard to rest. The property is unbearable in many ways.

Lack of staff to check in, stood next to drunk pun users for 20 mins waiting. Terrible clubbing pub noises until 22:30. Mouldy smelly bathroom. Stained bed sheets. No free parking spaces. No bin. Window covered in spiders webs. Coat hooks hanging off the wall. TV remote not working.

From the photos it looked great..NOT..feet stuck to hallway carpet paint coming off skirting doorframe..window in room was filthy ,you couldnt see outside of, toilet and shower awful, tv didn't work.nothing at all like the photos,I think it must have been a 50's working mans club,the only thing good about it was the bedding,,pristine white bedding, apaert from tht was worth the £50 for the night,would not recommend

Room was clean and spotless. Staff was cooperative.

Room was awful. Cold. No heating. Dirty. Mouldy room and mouldy bathroom. Tv didnt work. No kettle.

Room was AWFUL. Mould everywhere, broken blinds that had tape on them to stop the gap, plug sockets hanging out the wall, coat rack hanging on for dear life, holes in the walls, shower unusable as just sprayed everywhere when turned on. Wish we’d have read the other reviews before we booked because we’d have avoided this place like the plague.

The room was clean and value for money. The staff wrre friendly. Sham the kitchen was shut so no food.

PLUS POINTS – very inexpensive accommodation – comfortable bed – free parking MINUS POINTS – no TV channels worked: video badly pixelated and audio broken up – no kettle available despite advertised – we had to go out and buy one – no hooks for coats – no towel rail or hooks in the shower room – no bins in the room or the shower room – no light other than the stark ceiling light – great deal of noise late into the night from the bar – five police cars in attendance due to fighting!

Room was adequate except hardly any toilet roll and no extra provided. Bathroom was very bare. They advertised that they offer breakfast from 8.30am but when we went to the bar there was no staff on site. We were locked in but we could exit from the side door. Friday and Saturday night was loud music which made the beds vibrate because it was so loud and the music didn’t stop until 1.30am. It’s sad because the room was adequate for the price but the noise and the lack of breakfast let it down. We left a day early and booked somewhere else.

I booked here for 2 nights as I was working away. On the description it stated that there would be WiFi giving at least 25 Mb but I was only getting 87Kb which would not even load the Google search page. There was no Kettle in the room. Coat hangers hanging off the wall, bathroom door handle hanging off and the paint on the ceiling was more than flaking off. This was a none pet hotel but I had a dog barking outside my room on numerous occasions throughout the first night. The blinds on the window where broken and I needed to put a stool and my laptop bag on the windowsill, just to create privacy. The room itself was like a freezer and the heater that was in the room took over 2 hours just to take the chill off. As I said earlier, I had booked this for 2 nights but due to the lack of WiFi and the overall condition of the room, I left after the first night. I know this was a budget hotel, but just wow, this is the worst place I have stayed and will not be back!

Room was awful. Cold. No heating. Dirty. Mouldy room and mouldy bathroom. Tv didnt work. No kettle.

Heating was bad, rooms were cold. Many of us had cold showers Large parts of lodge smelt of sewage Locals were rough

No tea/coffee mskimg facilities in the room, TV reception was very poor pixelated picture. Wasn't made clear where breakfast was served and was given three seperate starting times - was told verbally start time was 07.30, notice outside the club states 08.00 start time, notice inside the club states 08.30 start time. Website statrs do evening meals Monday to Friday until 9pm, I got there at 4pm on the Friday when asked about evening meal, to be told they don't do meals at the weekend.

Had a great stay Luke and his team are great very friendly and approachable nice bar the breakfast is fantastic especially for the price and the pizza shack in the beer garden is really good excellent fresh pizzas definitely stay again as the rooms are clean comfortable with great pillows

Excellent. Great staff and very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. I can’t say enough about how friendly and welcoming everyone was. I can’t wait to visit Birmingham again.

There were issues checking in. Very slow and was given someone elses room. Eventually the manager arrived and I was correctly allocated my room. On the plus, the room was clean with a nice shower and quiet.

The bedroom ceiling was mouldy as was the shower. The blind was broken and a bright light was on all night outside the window. Door lock was difficult to lock with the key and looked damaged. We were told breakfast started at 9 am but in the morning we were told it was cancelled...Manager was rude when informing us. Book somewhere else would be my advice.

Staff was polite, room is okay for the price

The fire alarm went off for 5.5 hours. No apology, wont answer the phone or reply to emails with regards to a refund.

The room was not ready upon arrival, said had run out of bleach, then said vacuum was broken. Asked to put luggage in room as was visiting family (purpose of the stay) was taken to a single room when booking was for a family room (there were 3 of us). Staff apologised and took us the correct booking. Adverts regarding breakfast were around the bar area, when we asked about this was told breakfast was not being served this weekend. Understand that the venue is under new management. A bit of organising and staff training appears to be needed.

Easy location to get to

Good and quiet

Nice and quiet… although the curtain was torn and the toilet door handle broken

I liked this place, rough and ready though, I thought I was walking into the Liberal House in Tamworth, they must have used the same decorator at the same time. Even the holes in the wall matched. Feral kids running up and down the hallways at midnight. Parking was haphazard as owners seemed to just park where their cars stopped. However I quite liked the place, the room was relatively quiet and comfortable. The canal was a short walk away and a couple of nice pubs too.

All in all, its a decent accommodation for people who are looking to whizz through Birmingham. We needed a car to drive around to the NEC etc. This accommodation is not too far, but around 25 mins away from the centre of Birmingham by driving. Can't complain.

Room had no ventilation as window could not open widely and the bathroom door jandle screws were loose. Average the loaction is good and quite.

Heating was bad, rooms were cold. Many of us had cold showers Large parts of lodge smelt of sewage Locals were rough

Easy check in and convenient location

Really welcoming, good location. Was woken up about 6am by the guests next door talking really loud. Other than that, a good stay.

IDEAL for Airport and NEC

Was disappointed on Saturday morning came down for breakfast door was locked and nobody about. We didn't stay on Saturday night as my partner was feeling unwell. Overall the hotel was clean and bed very comfortable

Upon arrival and parking in the carpark I was concerned I have made the wrong choice. I went into the bar area and spoke to staff and I found them to be incredibly helpful and wanting to ensure that the process of checking in was easy. Though out my stay I felt comfortable and welcomed. The only criticism I have is that there was no food available through out our stay. However, there is plenty of restaurants and bars nearby and within walking distance. Overall I liked it there and plan to go back with the children. The new owner and the staff were so keen to help make my stay a good one. Yes there were events in the evening and during the day but I feel that was to be expected given the properties location and cost. It was nice to see the community actively use the building. I would like to thank all of the staff there for making my stay relaxing.

Had a great stay Luke and his team are great very friendly and approachable nice bar the breakfast is fantastic especially for the price and the pizza shack in the beer garden is really good excellent fresh pizzas definitely stay again as the rooms are clean comfortable with great pillows

Stopped here a few times now, staff very polite and accomadating. Would recommend a stay. They do fantastic homemade pizza too. 😁

Rooms are clean and breakfast was tasty. But there was no water kettle in the room, I needed to ask to activate the boiler to get the hot water in bathroom, and breakfast started at 10am and not 8am. Meanwhile, the staff was kindful and all in all we passed a good night.

There is no breakfast, l was information that there was but no person in the whole building Everything was closed.

Parking was ok and safe enough. Disapointed I was told breakfast from 0800 the bar area was lock up. Phone manager and he said breakfast was from 0900. When I check in I was given leaflet that said from 0800 am I went to Cafe Buttie 4 mins away in car

Honestly it was terrible. I will say whoever took the pictures did a great job as the place looks nothing like these pictures. Arrived at 9pm on Friday, check in was ok and I had to give a form of ID which is fine I've done that in places before. Was given a piece of paper with the door codes, WiFi information breakfast times etc. Was given some vague instructions on how to find the room myself as the staff didn't want to seem to leave the bar where they were having fun. Security doors to the accommodation were constantly left open so anyone could walk in which is a bit of a safety concern when travelling wit children. The room had no tea and coffee facilities but I could go to the bar and get one if I wanted. I'm not going to walk to the bar every time I want a cuppa. The beds felt like they were basically planks of wood and some of the most uncomfortable beds ever and I've stayed in alpine huts which are literally wooden beds but they were somehow better. The room did have an ensuite, but the shower didn't work properly. After about 60 seconds the water stopped running. Breakfast on the first day was ok, turned up at 8:30 to be told that actually it was 9 it started but I could make a cup of tea or coffee while I wait. I decided on a coffee and wish I didn't, as I was trying to poor the milk out of the metal teapot that was used I noticed it wasn't pouring because there was a chunk of old milk like rubber in the spout. I have more to say but run out of space.
