Vicarage Lodge Birmingham

highly accessible

The hotel was good in general but the room had a mould and was smelling.

This is far to even be called as a hotel. It’s more like a Shared house wih lots of people. This place is also an emergency accomidation for homeless. The area around the “hotel” is also not a nice place to be. You would never want to come to the place like that with the kids. Most of the furniture is broken or faulty in some kind of way. And we got to see 3 of the rooms at this place because of the many issues to even have room with a toilet. The mattresses are old and you can feel the metal springs stubbing your back!

Do not stay at here faulty towers shocking. Mould in room on walls dirty towels all over the floor in bathroom. Definitely not worth the cost should be £15-£20 a night at the most

It was so grim we didn’t even stay the night! The shared bathrooms were DISGUSTING It was like a hostel

Absolutely disgusting room smelt like it has never been cleaned.

This place is not a hotel it’s a hostel and barely that more a half way house for druggies and homeless people! The room we had was disgusting and run down! We paid £50 for our so- called room that had a shared rank disgraceful bathroom and grimy communal kitchen! A complete and utter ripp off!!! Our room had dead insects and heavy stains on the wall! The ceiling was covered in thick cobwebs and dust with insects clearly visible!! The floor had debris,stains and more dust! Our room was by the front door so whenever someone came in we were disturbed! The room was cold and stank of cigarette smoke wasn’t cosy and inviting at all! The furniture Was dirty inside,draws barely functional overall I found the decor was creepy and out dated! The front door didn’t work properly and jammed when in use! Was a pain to use to go to the toilet and leave/enter the room! I felt Unrelaxed and dirty just being in there! The owner was an Asian man that was stingy, money hungry and irritating! On arrival we were not given the best welcome he seemed more annoyed about the fact he had to deal with our check in and gave the vibe we were bothering him! He tried to make out we were late and we arrived right before 10:30pm. Before the check in window closed. We asked him for a few bottles of water as the host had a huge crate in clear view - he gave them but conveniently shortly after promoted that they were 50p each! We were then rudely disturbed the next morning promptly at 10:30am and asked to check out! Half asleep we had to pack our bags and leave because we couldn’t pay the additional charge in cash although we offered by card the host insisted cash only…. frankly I would appreciated the courtesy of atleast 12pm as we checked in late the night before! The host gave us the option to stay longer but only for a additional £10 cash only charge to stay until 1:30pm! That we didn’t have so we almost felt as if we were being thrown out! Rather than asked to check out! Because of all this I WOULD NOT recommend this place to stay its run down and is totally faked in the photos! We felt scammed when we saw our room and how we were treated! AVOID and book a travel lodge instead your guaranteed a cleaner,safer and more luxury stay and travel lodge is budget so for me to compare this to a budget hotel meaning this place is hellhole!!! Unless you want to be scammed and shafted for cash book elsewhere! NOT a hotel - and calling this place a hostel is an over exaggeration!

Dirty room, broken shower, dirty toilet and bathroom, nice staff

Very basic accommodation, the mattress was more than a bit lumpy and clearly needed replacing and by replacing I meen burnt. I had to fix the window blind as 3 of the vertical blinds were missing on arrival, fortunately I found the missing blind blades in a draw in the bedside cabinet and refitted them. The covering plate for the ceiling pendant light either hadn't been fastened up properly and was now resting on top of the light fitting or had never been screwed up in the first place. There were small communal kitchens on each floor that had seen better days, bit untidy but you can't blame the hotel for guesses leaving a mess it was mid afternoon when I checked in and the cleaners were there every morning. Bathrooms were functional, reasonably clean but again had seen much better days. Missing or damaged fittings, mirrors etc... Over all I'd have to say the hotel is very basic, a bit run-down even though it looks like it had been repainted recently to a standard that I'd compare to student accommodation and from the piles of building materials sat in the carpark some work had been done at some point. All said and done it was cheap and somewhere to sleep.
