Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
I booked this guesthouse due to it's proximity to an office I was visiting for work. The price was very good value and included breakfast so I wasn't expecting very much but was very pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. There is free parking out the front which is a bonus. On arrival, the staff were friendly and helpful. My room was comfortable and had all the amenities that I needed for a nights stay. The bed was incredibly warm and comfortable and the room was dark and very quiet so I had a very good nights sleep.
Breakfast was a continental selection. The food was really good and there was everything I would have wanted including some very healthy options.
I would definitely stay here on my next visit to Birmingham.

Went to this guest house for one of their free music Friday nights. Had a wonderful meal in their South East Asian style restaurant, followed by some great live music in the bar. Very comfortable room with a great bed and bathroom. Very good continental breakfast in the morning, wide variety of fresh foods presented.

Out on a business meal and stayed here at the blue piano as well as dining. The food was amazing, I had the sea bass which was Cooked to perfection with a beautiful mango salad. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. The rooms are lovely too, roomy and spacious and well prepared. Thank you for a lovely stay, I will definitely be returning.

Breakfast pretty boring: just bread/basic croissants, juice, cereal, and fruit plus ham and cheese slices. Not even eggs!
Subjective stuff: Room dated and furnishings loose. Welcome booklet in room out of date and inaccurate. Bed was comfortable enough though!
Not subjective: WiFi absolutely appalling to the point of nonexistent. Speed low (few Mbps down depending strongly on location and device) and WiFi access points very unreliable. Coverage incomplete and my room was in a dead spot so avoid room 11 if you want any internet access.

Stayed two nights for business. Would not recommend. Very poor welcome after long challenging train journey. No smile, no welcome, too late for any dinner (arrived at 8.30 and restaurant empty) not even a “hello”. Not told about option of breakfast. Room (king size) was cold and I could not get heating to work or towel rail in bathroom to turn in so towels were wet. Room smelt very must. Lots of Stains on carpet and on dressing table surfaces. Patches of paintball over walls. Tatty and run down. Bed comfy at least. Couple of biscuits left by kettle, and coffee sachets shoved into glass jam jars that looked like they had been there for weeks. At £100 a night I thought it was v expensive. Travel lodge far better.

Where do I start with this review, it has to be the grottiest place I have ever stayed at. Where the 4 star reviews are coming from is beyond me. The carpet was stained and damp in areas, curtains on the dirty windows were themselves dirty and torn. the walls and ceiling had damp patches, the wallpaper was peeling off the walls. The bed divan base was badly marked. No mattress protector or pillow protectors. TV n the room didn't work. The furniture was dirty, badly marked. Bulbs missing from light fittings, Pillows smelt awful, Not damp, but not fresh. The bathroom was so dirty I put towels o the floor to walk n there. Shower curtain was mouldy, and badly stained. The bin had damp mould on, the walls were full of mould, the plaster was off the walls in some areas, especially around the sink area. The toilet was dirty inside and out and hadn't been flushed let alone cleaned. I reported all of this to the guy who was the barman and the receptionist when I arrive and asked to be moved, to be told they were fully booked! Nobody came to rectify any of the issues, not did they bother to contact me to resolve any of the matters. Whatever you do, do not stay here. Its a health hazard. I have uploaded some photos I took.

Great hotel. Very homely and with all amenities you could need included. My room was huge and had both a bath and separate shower in the modern bathroom. Great find and a great price, especially as it’s just outside the new congestion zone and still walking distance into the city centre, which only took me 15mins. I had a fantastic meal in the restaurant too. Staff are all friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

I went with my friends for holiday in Birmingham so, booked the room and it was raining outside so we were delayed and stuck in the traffic from the Birmingham Airport to the hotel but the staff was so dutiful they waited for till 2 hours delay, great hospitality and good management. The Blue Piano Guest House offers friendly staff, clean rooms, and a pleasant atmosphere. A great choice for a comfortable stay.

The Blue Piano hosted our wedding reception in December 2023. Throughout the planning and the day itself the service was absolutely wonderful. We can't thank Shreeti and her team enough for their warmth, organisation, patience, and willingness to accommodate us. The amount of work they put in was incredible. The venue looked beautiful and full of character inside and out. The food was terrific - generous and delicious. The service all night was so attentive and friendly. And the rooms were beautiful, spacious, clean, and cosy. They ensured that we and our guests were able to have a very happy and memorable wedding celebration.
