  : Hidden gem, don't let the outside fool you. This is a well kept property, it boasts great sized well equipped rooms, with fresh linen , flannel, and ampul toiletries.Norma is a great host and very accommodating, thank you for the free upgrade.The communal spaces are fantastic, a well equipped kitchen is available, the dining room leads into a well groomed garden where I drank my coffee while listening to the birds chirping, there is also an additional sitting room.. If you are planning a longer stay there are payable laundry facilities on site Love the free parking, the location has great bus links, there are restaurants and supermarkets in walking distance.
  : The headboard in my room needs some TLC. No curtains or blinds in the room this would be okay if you're at the back of the property.

  : Would highly recommend this place to any female single traveller. Everyone I saw that was staying there was really polite and friendly, I felt completely at ease being there on my own. Norma goes out of her way to make sure you are happy and will accommodate you as much as she can. My room was at the back looking out to the garden, nice and quiet. Fabulous large garden with lots of seating.
  : Needed a more comfortable desk chair as I spent quite a long time sitting at the desk using my laptop each night. Everything else was perfect!

  : I loved the homely feel of the place. The lady who ran it, Norma, was friendly and very welcoming and had a relaxed personality which in return, made me feel relaxed. I had an instant feeling of 'am going to like this place' when I entered the hotel. I loved the fact that you could just bring your own ingredients to cook yourself some food, what ever you wanted. A good sized kitchen which was well equipped was a helpful thing to have. The place was very clean and tidy. It was a nice touch that hot water bottles were provided, in case. (I've stayed in many hotels both in the UK and abroad, and it's the first time I've ever seen a hotel provide hot water bottles for guests. Lovely touch and I certainly appreciated and used it!
  : The decor of the room I stayed in was a little dated and could use some fresh coats of paint and I noticed that the paint on the wall against which the bed's headboard was against, had chipped away and it was so obvious. It would also be useful to have blinds on the windows for more privacy because, once you open the curtains, there was no privacy from passers but or people in the houses opposite. All that said, the room was comfortable and clean and I would defo stay there again.

  : Westbourne Lodge experience was great for me. It was relaxing, calm and serene. I enjoyed having outdoor space at the garden and a large kitchen to cook my meals. I also enjoyed the great company of the host's family, helpful housekeepers and relaxed fellow lodgers. The place was clean and my room was large with all the amenities I needed including welcome tea, coffee and milk throughout my stay (very nice). I enjoyed the large bath and spacious bathroom. I was able access a good number locations near me like the University of Birmingham, The Botanical Gardens, and High Street among others. I look forward to my next stay at Westbourne Lodge when my travels take me back to Birmingham.
