The Aston Inn

very good price, friendly staff, good cheap food, free coffee in the bar. ideal budget hotel when there is no local football.

This property is ideal for any Aston Villa fan it’s a few minutes away from Villa park parking is great at £8.00 for non patrons £5.00 for patrons but get there early it does get full quickly the pub is fairly big and set up for any Villa fan and drinks are cheap there are plenty of food vans on route and one sitting outside the pub the rooms are very basic and a second pillow would of been welcome plus a bin of some sort no heating when we went up at 9pm so had a bit of a cold night tv was ok but difficult to operate and the speakers were crackling the bathroom was clean with hot water and fluffy towels in almost was clean and useable

Very attentive staff. Parking. Close to Villa Park.

The room was clean but the bar and dining area was very poor. Why no bin in the bedroom or bathroom? Some of the seats by bar didn't even have covers on just exposed filling. Very unhygienic. Not sure who owns this property but I will never stay there again. Grim

At first glance, the inn didn’t feel welcoming, but I must commend the staff for their excellent and friendly service. Unfortunately, this is where the positives ended for me. It’s not a hotel in the traditional sense but more of a bar with some rooms attached. The room I stayed in was far from suitable. The mattress was unbearably hard, the window frame had black mold, and the overall condition made it feel uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the amenities were not close by, and the walls were so thin that it felt like they were made of paper mâché. Sleep was impossible, thanks to someone deciding to play the trumpet in the middle of the night. As for the New Year’s Eve event, the DJ could use some improvement. The excessive bass drowned out the actual songs, making it hard to enjoy the music. Oh and the doors lock at 11pm so have fun navigating the piss poor construction site at the back of the car park. In summary, while the staff was great, the experience was let down by poor accommodations and noise issues. Wouldn’t recommend unless improvements were made.

It's not the Ritz but it does the job. Room was clean and comfortable. It's attached to an Aston Villa social club so if you stay on a match day, like I did, expect it to be crowded a noisy.

The hotel in under pub, even no reception there. In the room no bin or glasses for water.

Pros: great location for Villa Park and an even better price point compared to others in the area. Cons: virtually underneath the A38 so traffic noises from rumble strips is always there so light sleepers may want to carry earplugs. No kettle in the room but you can fetch hot drinks complimentary whilst the bar is open but may make your first cuppa of the day late. Only one iron for all guests, iron before you leave home. Couldn’t find there was any WiFi in the room I was in and isn’t the best signal either on the phone.

This is a budget hotel that delivers on their promise. You can park at the hotel premises, free of charge, and the check-in was easy. The room was basic but clean and the furniture functional (desk, tool, bedside table). Good TV with cable access to Netflix etc. The Wi-Fi was a hit and miss but I connected via my phone hotspot and could work all evening. Michelle (energetic and helpful manager) was very friendly and helpful. I ordered dinner /drinks for my room. Note that there is no tea/coffee tray in the room but you can get those free of charge from the bar. The bathroom was clean and toiletries were provided, a nice touch for a budget hotel. The room was well heated and the bed comfortable. This is all I expected for the price I paid. Only suggestion: walls could do with a fresh coat of paint in places.

Basic option close to the job. Did what it said on the packet 😉 Think its the first time ive not had a kettle in the room and the Internet only worked in the bar. But food & ale cheap and fine and i slept well enough 👍

I'm very torn about writing this review, because it is a budget hotel and you get what you pay for, so I wasn't expecting a palace. But cleanliness should be great as standard, whether you're in a 2 star or a 5 star, and the room could have been cleaner. The carpet clearly had not been hoovered, and we never heard a hoover once throughout our stay, it sounded like the staff used a brush to sweep the carpet in the room above ours. Could have done with two pillows on each bed, as only one provided and very thin. The shower head in the bathroom was an actual bio-hazard (which I have a photo of, but a glitch isn't letting me upload it). Given the staff were so genuinely lovely and clearly doing their best to give a fantastic and friendly service, we chose not to complain, as we didn't want to spoil the tone of our stay given we were there for more than one night. The cooked breakfasts were absolutely fantastic and brilliant value, could not fault them in any way, and the staff we met were all great. I would have given 4 starts for sure with just a couple of issues addressed.

Compact, basic but very clean , staff were friendly and helpful, ideal for stopover or for contractors looking for reliable clean accommodation,

Room was clean and quiet during the night

The room was very clean and the evening staff were very friendly. We didn’t stay for breakfast as we were going to the Horse of the year show at the NEC and needed to get there early

The welcome was first class the hotel is very clean and the breakfast was amazing will be back here definitely

Booked this hotel as convenient for football ground. It was ok, the room was clean but beds were uncomfortable, think a change of mattresses might be an idea.

room above pub, very noisy on football nights, rooms need some upgrades, quite run down and uncared for
