Hotel
Best Western Plough and Harrow Hotel
Edgbaston and Hagley Road, around 35 minutes on foot from New Street. What follows is the practical detail: distances, parking, who it suits and where it does not.
Our verdict
Best Western Plough and Harrow Hotel stands on Hagley Rd in Edgbaston and Hagley Road, 1.2 miles from New Street. New Street is around 35 minutes on foot and the Bullring around 40 minutes on foot, so the centre is walkable without planning transport.
Arriving by train, it is around 35 minutes on foot from the platforms. For an arena night it is around 20 minutes on foot.
None of the Birmingham destinations we measure is walkable from here, so plan the car, the train or a taxi into the trip rather than treating this as a base you can step out of.
It holds 7.1 out of 10 on Booking from 1,590 reviews, a normal sample for the city. That is 1.2 below the 8.3 average across the other 9 rated properties we compare in Edgbaston and Hagley Road.
In the pricing snapshot behind this guide it listed at around £67 a night. That is about £37 below the £104 median across the other 9 priced properties we compare in Edgbaston and Hagley Road. It is a snapshot rather than a live rate, and it will not match your dates.
Its closest neighbour in our selection is Travelodge Birmingham Central Broadway Plaza, 408 metres away, and the two are close enough on price and rating that the deciding factor is whichever is cheaper on your dates.
It qualifies for our cheap hotels comparison, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
The main trade-off is that nothing about it stands out sharply enough to pick it over the other 15 properties we compare within a mile, so it comes down to rate on your dates.
