The Old Crown, a 3-star hotel (8.1/10 on Booking.com), occupies a historic building in Digbeth, retaining its classic black-and-white timber frame. Rooms feature tea and coffee makers, flat-screen TVs, and carpeted floors, with some offering fireplaces or seating areas. Guests can enjoy meals from The Old Crown's everyday menu or the Hatch Menu, which includes wings, tacos, and mezze plates. The hotel hosts live events such as music performances, street food festivals, and charity auctions, including a high-wire act by Circus Mash. Nearby landmarks include the Rotunda (1 km), St. Andrew's Stadium (2 km), and the Bullring & Grand Central (1 km).
Pros
The historic timber-framed building preserves original architectural details.
Regular live events, including music performances and street food festivals.
Proximity to Digbeth's street art and cultural landmarks.
Varied dining options, including mezze plates and pub classics.
Cons
Some rooms have shared bathrooms.
The lively event schedule may not suit guests seeking quiet stays.
“The Old Crown wins on character, a real, historic Birmingham pub offering simple rooms upstairs. I found the location ideal, putting me within walking distance of the train station and city center gigs. For a reasonably priced overnight, it's a solid choice with friendly staff and a comfy bed after a night out.”
