What guests think

At Liberal House Tamworth, travellers report a budget pub hotel with very friendly staff and decent value, basic rooms and handy parking, but recurring issues with damp or sewage smells, dated fixtures, and occasional noise from the busy bar.

Breakfast is often praised, while evening meals are sometimes unavailable due to events, staffing or outages. Several guests noted cold rooms or weak heating and a need for general maintenance, though some found beds comfortable and noise minimal away from the bar. Expect a no-frills stay suited to unfussy travellers comfortable with a lively pub setting.

Parking easy Check-in frustrating. Lady repeatedly asked for ID even though I only had bank cards on me and had not been asked to bring anything else. Room clean enough. Basic but expected this at price mark. Small heater in room was off on our arrival so room was cold. Unclear how to use heater so room remained cold. Assume on a timer. WiFi password displayed did not work so used data instead Beds ok. Busy pub but on our particular stay consisted of all men- locals, construction site workers and poker group. Fine for some potential future stayers but not ideal for mum and teen girl. Not really family establishment on first impression. Food was fine though got charged full price for children meal (when advertised as £1 with adult main meal) and asked for chips but got mash. After check in issue I didn’t mention it at time as just wanted to retire to room. Overall fine for single/male groups looking for a very budget stay. Didn’t suit us on a family trip. Just uncomfortable all around.

Staff were friendly especially the ladies at breakfast time. The room, bedding and bathroom was clean though I found the room and building in general to have various smells which gave me the feeling of slight discomfort - only slight. Parking was great. Location worked very well for our weekend. The Tesco next door was a life saver.

Hired a twin room for the night whilst staying with my daughter after a previous bad experience at a different hotel. The room was clean, the TV worked and the pressure in the shower was nice to me. Stopped for a beer in the pub (noise from which was not heard in the room) and the ladies working were polite and helpful. I felt I received good value for money, I would happily return and would be glad to recommend to others

The rooms are located right next to the pub and the smell of old alcohol filled all the halls and then damp in the rooms. Really not a nice encounter, we left and booked somewhere else instead

Checking in was vey easy and the General Manager (Laura) made us most welcome. Our room was ready, clean and comfortable. We stayed Friday and Saturday night ......the bar was quite busy but the large car park had plenty of spaces. Breakfast was available from about 8.30 until 1100 and was most enjoyable. For those who like music there is a live singer to entertain you on Saturday evenings and you can entertain customers with Sunday karaoke. Facilities include free wi-fi and a pool table. A good value hotel which is not far from Tamworth. Would have no hesitation in staying there again.

The room that I booked stunk of urine that could be smelt before I entered the room. When I did enter the room the smell made me gag, there was no way I was going to get any sleep. There were two small single beds in the room. When I reported the issue the staff member on shift was brilliant, she phoned the manager who offered me food and another room as compensation. The member of staff did forewarn me that in the other room there was an issue with the blind and that it was due to be replaced. It turned out that the blind was covered in mould caused by damp which caused the room to smell. I declined the offer of the new room, was refunded in full and opted to stay at in a room at a popular hotel chain.

We arrived late and the staff were really helpful on the phone of how to get into our room however when we got in it was horrendous The blind was broken so there was nothing up the window. The radiator was hanging off the wall, No tv remote, There were two pillows on the double bed that were so flat we may as well of had a piece of paper under our heads, The glass shower doors were both broken and hanging off so both doors only hanging on by 2 little wheels luckily we survived the night and had a laugh about it all but on a serious note if we would of brought our little one this would of been dangerous

The staff member had check-in was very friendly, the room was extremely simple but clean. The bathroom could use some hooks and shelves as there’s nowhere around the sink or in the shower to put anything. Nowhere to store towels or hang clothes. We stayed in the room furthest away from the bar. I didn’t hear any noise while we slept. If the end is not serving any food in the evening, there is a good restaurant next-door plus a Tesco the next-door down. The rest of the area is quiet residential.

The shower room smelt damp and mouldy, there wasnt a glass in the room I could use to take my medication, and the wall heater was falling off the wall. The bed was reasonable comfortable and bed linen was clean. Doors started banging at 5.30 as other guests were leaving.
