Best Hotels in Shirley, United Kingdom

Always get a warm welcome at Redwings. The staff are lovely and couldn’t be more helpful. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by bars and restaurants and on the main bus route into Birmingham city. Perfect for a short stay at reasonable prices.

Everything was very good food, staff , room etc I would have given it an even better score but I object to paying for car parking.

The location of the hotel is not very convenient. There are no good transportation facilities, supermarkets and restaurants in the surrounding area. You need to walk for a while to reach the bus station and restaurants. The hotel's front desk clerk was very nice, but the hotel did not provide comprehensive equipment, such as slippers and hairdryers.

I booked a stay for one date then had to move the date due my one colleague being in the military and we eventually stayed for what we thought at the time was a pleasurable evening with this hotel on the 2nd September 2022. I felt I did call in plenty of time to move the first booking and just wanted to flag this up with them. They have now charged me for two stays and accused me of not moving the booking and not turning up. I earn a low salary due to my current job and there would be no way we would want to pay for two stays when we only wanted one night. They appear to not be concerned with my story and are refusing to refund the first booking As they have no proof it was moved on the phone by me. I did not receive an email confirming the move in dates and assumed all was well from the telephone conversation . Be aware this could and will happen to you if you need to change your room booking . They might charge you for two stays. I can barely afford this at present especially with rising prices in fuel costs. I will not be returning to this hotel group because they have ripped me off. What turned out as a smashing hotel stay has now turned into a really bad negative memory. It was not a corporate booking and every penny counts for me at this time and we are being treated as if the money means nothing , that we have been charged for two stays , for them appears normal. Even if it is wrong . Just to confirm we paid and stayed for the £205.12 Booking for one night , but were not at the hotel for the other fee they have charged which is £286 Again beware of these big hotel groups who are happy to take your money and if a mistake is made on their part, are very hard to get back a fee that they should not have taken .

Kay, Joe, Majid, Mukesh, Joe and Adam- wow! Simply outstanding We are staying this weekend as we celebrate a 100th birthday party locally. Mum is also recovering from cancer and chose this hotel for all of us to stay at. We couldn't have had a warmer reception and the service has been second to none. Majid went above and beyond to make sure our dinner was perfect. We would highly recommend!

Having lunch at Hogarths was the ultimate dining experience. Driving into the beautiful grounds was a pleasure and being greeted by cheerful staff was welcomed and always a good start! Everywhere is immaculate and decorated with eye catching artistry. Check out Fred the fine art installation! Hogarths have successfully created an ambience where you can switch off and be any where in the world. Absolutely love the garden island, it’s enchanting! Food! Wow! Our lunch was just delish. We chose to try the eclectic choice of club Sandwiches but they were not just any ordinary sandwiches! I recommended the book keeper beef! Yum! Thank you everyone at Hogarths we had such a lovely time and will be back! Thanks Lee for the guide, great fun! Highly recommend!

We stayed for 3 nights. Rooms were as expected for a 2 star hotel and we will stay again as they accept dogs and it is just up the road from my parents house. We booked an accessible room for myself (hidden disabilities) as I struggle with moving from seating to standing without getting dizzy so need hand rails in bathroom and need a shower seat. We also booked one for Mother in Law who is recovering from a hip replacement. Despite booking double beds for both rooms we were given twin beds pushed together which were too low down for me and which due to the gap in the middle caused me a very painful first night. We were told it would get changed and MILs was changed first day but ours wasn't as we had left a blanket on the bed. So we were told it would get changed the next day and it wasn't as he apparently hadn't seen us go out for the day. On leaving he tried to suggest we shouldn't have had accessible rooms if we needed a standard double as disabled people needed the lower twin beds. The shower was missing buttons so I couldn't control the temperature very well. The shower flooded and did not go down during the day but the night time staff were super friendly and mopped it up. I accidentally pulled the emergency cord in the bathroom (hard to tell the difference in the dark between the white light cord and the red cord which were on either sides of the door). The staff were there within 3 minutes. The disabled parking is the furthest away from the entrance so if you need it for distance rather than wheelchairs it is a problem

Travel a lot in the UK, only stayed 1 night and its probably the best UK guest house we have stayed in. Katherine and Terry were amazing hosts, friendly, warm welcome great with our 5 year old grand daughter. Room clean, cosy with everything you need, great selection of hot drinks and chocolate bars. Breakfast plenty of choice continental style with cereals,yogurt, fresh fruit pastries and full cooked breakfast. A choice of juices and hot drinks really delicious. Lovely garden area would be nice to sit outside in warmer weather. On site parking. Will definitely recommend and stay again. Location great, less than 5 mins walk to the train station straight into the centre of Birmingham City in less than 10 minutes. Thank you for a lovely stay

Most comfortable bed, stylish interior, lots of greenery and underfloor heating in the bathroom, complimentary tea coffee water and snacks, own fridge, takeaways, superstore, pub on walking distance, Birmingham international airport, train station, NEC and central Birmingham on a short drive away
