Great pool! Clean water, comfortable temperature, good lighting. Changing rooms and showers are in perfect condition. The staff is polite, and security is high.

Visited these baths for a dip during my stay at Moseley. It's in urgent need of TLC. I felt like I was back in time, Victorian era to be precise. The cleanliness was non existent as it was icky and sticky. No showers before nor after which added to the 3rd world feel. The private cubicles were the best thing about it. I wouldn't say shut this place down, just burn it to the ground and from the watery ashes, build a better swimming bath.

The only grade II listed pool in the whole West Midlands? This is a fantastic place to go back in time and celebrate one of the most historic buildings and classic architecture in Birmingham. Just less than 5-7 minutes drive from central Birmingham on a good traffic day, this pool is located on Alcester Road with good bus links or a Uber ride away. The pool has changing rooms, toilets and showers all around it allowing you to be comfortable and staying in the same space. The staff are super friendly and amazing. This week as I have been told is the last week before the big refurb and the Moseley Baths will be closed until Spring 2025. Definitely a must visit if you are visiting Birmingham and I am most definitely looking forward to visit Birmingham once it is open again.

My mother and I had a fantastic time here at the baths today. We dropped in to see what we could due to it being in the National Trust handbook. The administrator was so lovely and very kindly shown us around giving us lots of very interesting and informative information about the baths. Thank you very much!😊 There are lots of photos of the baths and also information boards too. There are also official tours available so we hope to pop back. The architecture is wonderful and there are so many original features to look at. I would recommend popping in to see it.
