Elmdon Lodge

Quiet Charm Just Minutes from the Action

Dating back to 1890, Elmdon Lodge blends old-school character with modern comforts in a peaceful, residential corner of Birmingham. Nestled in a leafy cul-de-sac, it offers a relaxing retreat just a short train ride from the city’s buzzing music venues. With free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a warm, homely atmosphere, it’s a solid pick for those who want a comfy base that’s close—but not too close—to the post-concert chaos.

Why Concert-goers love it

This B&B is just a 5-minute walk to the train station, making late-night rides back from the city centre a breeze. While it's tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood, you’re only about 15 minutes by car or train to central Birmingham, where most big-name gigs happen. It’s also a good choice for light sleepers—far enough from the nightlife to guarantee a good night’s rest after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for affordable, cosy rooms with a relaxed vibe
• Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist who want comfort without the chaos
• Couples making a weekend getaway out of a show
• Fans needing a calm, quiet space to recover post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without compromising on charm

Food and Drink Options

Start the day right with a full English breakfast served in a traditional dining room. If you need something lighter after a late night, there’s porridge, yogurt, cereals, and fresh fruit too. While there’s no on-site bar or late-night room service, the nearby area offers several walkable eateries for pre- or post-show bites.

Nightlife Options

While Elmdon Lodge isn’t a party spot, its location makes it easy to dip into Birmingham’s vibrant nightlife. You’re a quick train ride from bars, lounges, and live music venues. Back at the lodge, enjoy a quiet nightcap and a comfy bed—ideal for unwinding after the crowd clears.

What People Say

The Bottom Line

If you're after a quiet, affordable, and well-connected place to stay after a gig in Birmingham, Elmdon Lodge hits all the right notes.
