The Aston Inn

Mattress was horrendous..had to put 2 quilts to create a mattress topper and still felt the springs digging into my side ..worst nights sleep ever ..also.pillows were like wafers . Never again..staff friendly..could do with a kettle in the room.

5* based on the fact it was £60 when most of Birmingham was well over £120. Easy to find. Ok parking (no match on). Friendly bar staff to check in. Very helpful and chatty. Yes, it is basic. But it is clean and functional. £10 in a cab to the town centre. Would happily use again if needed. Good place for an inexpensive option.

We stayed here the night before a Villa game and we were pleasantly surprised. Lovely staff and we received a warm welcome. Room is basic but clean and parking is very easy. The area isn’t great unless you want to go to Villa Park then it’s about a 10 minute walk and you can also walk 20 minutes to Star City which has restaurants and a cinema and other entertainment. In the evening there was a group singing and it was fun with cheap drinks and a lovely vibe. Free hot drinks from the bar if you are staying at the hotel as there is no kettle in the room.

Stayed here for a one night work trip. Very happy. I stayed in a family room so had a double and a single. (Handy so I had 3 pillows to myself-1 supplied per person.) The room was clean and simple. Just what was required. Very fluffy towels and a great hot powerful shower. There was a built in the wall constant fan on in room for air circulation which was noisy and troubled my sleep a bit but I didn't ask if it could be switched off so this may have been possible. Not sure. No tea and coffee or hairdryer in the room but free hot drinks for guests at the bar for guests. I didn't have the breakfast as I was leaving early. There was little to no outside noise as the windows were double glazed. The staff seem very friendly and the atmosphere in the bar, which closed at 11:30pm, was very relaxed. Would recommend for anyone staying on a business trip.

Such a lovely place to stay. Really nice staff friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy with a lovely large comfortable bed with plenty of room and storage. The bar area was large with lovely food and reasonably priced drinks. Would definitely rec and stay again.

Wow where to start. Well without doubt the worst hotel room I've ever stayed in by far. Dirty walls and stained beds and a mattress that I had to put on.top of another mattress as the springs were genuinely digging in my back and if you slept on the one mattress you may as well be sleeping on the bed frame. No amenities in room like kettle etc so couldn't even have a cup of tea. My room was near back door so I got.to hear everyone going in and out all night for a fag which for a non smoker was disgusting plus doors banging relentlessness. My view from window can only be described as a dumping ground. And on my kids life I was itching all.night and woke up to bites on feet arms and legs so bed bugs obviously had a good time. Lady at bar when we arrived was friendly so no gripes there but room isn't worth 15 quid honestly. I'm a builder so standards don't necessarily need to be hilton standard but this room was just a shocker from the look of it to the inches of dust behind bed . You may say you get what you pay for but no no and no. If you decide to stay be it at your own peril.

My partner Glyn and I came away for the Villa game and podcast and wanted to stay here. We were not disappointed and welcomed from the minute we arrived and staff are loads of fun. Defo recommend if Villa fans like us can’t wait to come back and we are already thinking about our next trip to you. The food is really good and I love the breakfasts with free tea and coffee which is brilliant. The bar is really well stocked and the beer garden is great. See you all soon X

Avoid at all cost!!!! I have never visited such a horrible place and trust me I’ve seen a lot…. 5 minutes into my stay I decided to check out, dirty, smelly, disgusting, staff was rude when I complained, please avoid at all cost. The mattress probably was glorious back in the days when Margaret Tatcher was running the country. Stains on the walls looking like vomit, unidentified stains on the carpet, hair in the bathroom and bedding, my skin is crawling thinking about this place. you should be ashamed for charging £60 a night!!! I swiftly booked a room in another hotel (I will not use the name so you won’t say that I’m supporting competition) and finally after a long shower I’m better, side note the hotel I booked was £64,60!!!! Shame on you, this placed should be shut down and demolished

Lady on arrival was lovely and friendly. The room it's self wasn't great. The bed was awful. Every spring was felt and mattress needs binning, completely unacceptable, wouldnt even put an animal on it. No soap in the room but friends room did. Bottle of shampoo and condition they provided was empty, t.v didn't work. Walls are paper thin and can hear every noise going. Breakfast was good. Bottles of vodka and Jack Daniels in the room from previous people who stayed in there so the cleaning team clearly didn't do a proper clean. The only decent thing about the room was the shower. When checking out I explained to the manager the issues we had and her response was shocking....I will have a word with cleaning staff...no apologies nothing! Wouldn't stay here again
