The Spotlight on The Greswolde Arms Hotel by Greene King Inns

Historic Charm Meets Concert Convenience Near Birmingham

The Greswolde Arms Hotel by Greene King Inns blends classic British charm with modern comfort. Set in a former coaching inn in Solihull, this hotel is just off Junction 5 of the M42—putting Birmingham Airport, the NEC, and popular live music venues within easy reach. With a cozy brasserie, a welcoming bar, and spacious rooms, it’s a laid-back base for concert-goers who want both accessibility and atmosphere.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location-wise, it's spot on—just a short drive from key venues like the NEC and Arena Birmingham. If you're flying in for a show, Birmingham Airport is close by too. Despite its accessibility, the hotel sits in a quieter area, making it great for winding down after a loud night. Check-in from 14:00 is handy if you're arriving early to prep for the gig, and check-out at 11:00 gives you time to recover the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends heading to a show and wanting a social yet affordable base
- Solo travelers ticking off legendary acts from their must-see list
- Couples planning a concert-filled weekend getaway
- Fans who prefer a quieter, more relaxed recovery zone
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and style

Food and Drink Options

The on-site brasserie serves a modern British menu seven days a week, perfect for pre- or post-show dining. The bar also offers informal food options and a solid drinks selection. While there's no 24/7 room service, late-night bites are doable with the bar's extended hours. Breakfast is served, so you can re-fuel after a late night without rushing.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, the bar has a friendly, pub-style vibe perfect for a nightcap. You're also a quick ride away from Birmingham’s nightlife, from trendy cocktail lounges to lively gig venues, making it easy to extend your evening if you're not ready to call it a night.

What People Say

Guests love the historic ambiance and say the hotel has a “cozy, traditional feel” with modern touches. The location consistently earns praise for its ease of access to both the city and the countryside. Reviews also mention the friendly staff and generously sized rooms as standout features.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the decor could use a refresh in parts, and while convenient, it’s not in the heart of Birmingham—so plan for a taxi or drive to get to the bigger venues. Still, most agree the trade-off is worth it for the peace and quiet.

The Bottom Line

The Greswolde Arms Hotel offers concert-goers a comfortable, well-located stay with charm, good food, and easy access to Birmingham’s biggest stages.

Good Value Accommodation in Central...

Liked: This was a repeat stay at The Greswolde Arms. We particularly enjoyed the previous stay at the beginning of the year and since the area is very central for us, deliberately planned our business trip around a stay here this time. We very much appreciate that the room has a bath option as well as a shower. The air conditioning was a real bonus too.
Disliked: We weren't able to turn off the heated towel rail next to the bath. In the summer it is not necessary to have this on as it adds unwanted heat to the room, is not environmentally friendly and towels dry sufficiently well without it.

Good

Liked: Rooms were very well cleaned and presented whenever we returned from day out.
Disliked: Lack of signage in corridors directing to exit in case of emergency or reception. Locked door to reception early morning which meant waiting for porter to unlock.
