Best Western Plough & Harrow Hotel

Hotel has a very spacious car park and close to the city centre. Inside it was very grand with beautiful furnishings. The reception and check-in were extremely friendly and helpful….thank you Carly. Some of the bedrooms have had a major make over and we had one of these. Ginormous comfy bed and lovely modern bathroom. We also had an accessible room at the back of the hotel that meant no steps for my mother, which was a real bonus. The bar was wonderful and luxurious. Breakfast had a huge range from croissants, toast, yoghurts, fruit, cereal and of course an excellent hot breakfast. If you are visiting Birmingham centre you couldn’t ask for a better hotel.

Ideal for a Birmingham shopping trip, tram stop over the road 👍

Public areas clean and well presented. Room was spotless but a little tired. Odly we had a table lamp with a round pin plug but no round pin socket. A couple of bulbs were out. Heating too hot so left a window ajar. However would happily stay again.

I found the Plough and Harrow very charming. I stayed 3 nights; Friday through Sunday. At no time was it noisy or uncomfortable. There are no elevators but since there is only one upper floor, that was no big problem. The hotel wraps around in a horseshoe shape and there are minor steps up and down to get to my room, but another guest told me that I could have gone the other way around, which I never did. The full English breakfast was very nice, and some of my friends had their various cheeses and pastries, coffees, teas, and juices all in the elegant main dining area. Within easy walking distance were several interesting pubs and restaurants. The Physician was notable among them, although the High Field restaurant was also pleasant. Also, within short walking distance is the tram that gets you into town, one way for 2.50 GBP (also known as Quids), or 5 Quid for the day. In town, I went to the Old Crown pub, the oldest in Birmingham, and it did not disappoint.
