ibis Styles Birmingham NEC & Airport

The bed was really comfy and the room was really clean. Bedding was great quality and spotless. Bathroom was also spotless and the toilet roll was noticeably good quality too. Two sets of towels also and an iron and board as standard. Staff were lovely and made an effort to try to do their best for you.

near to airport good value for money,check out was great,receptionist was great at her job,she went above and beyond her duty to give us the information we needed about airport location etc..she was on front desk at 830am on Monday morning we didn't catch her name but she is an asset to the IBis hotel group

From the moment we stepped upto the reception desk it's was absolutely brilliant the two receptionists Nora and Helen were so lovely very professional in checking us in and sort parking out and then we had a load of questions and they were so knowledgeable and helpful it was a breath of fresh air . we have never stayed in an Ibis hotel and we travel around for Hyrox competitions and in the future Ibis will be our go to accommodation on our travels. I have friends that travel with us and for business so I'll definitely be spreading the Ibis love , all the best to your great team Glenn

OVERVIEW... Taking the plunge as my first time away solo, I decided to stay at this hotel as it was right next to the NEC and B'ham nternational station. The room was spacious as was the bathroom, the lobby and restaurant areas were very open. Unfortunately some places need a touch up like big stains on communal carpets, but I believe in the upcoming months certain areas will be having a makeover/revamp. The staff were great and very friendly, any issues or questions I had they helped. Helen on front desk, Harry and the girls at the bar and even housekeeping and other staff I had interactions with were all positive. I will be coming back, especially if there is an event on at the NEC that I wish to attend. PS: Found a hedgehog on the grass at the back! NEARBY ACTIVITIES... Obviously you have the NEC next-door, which doesn't take too long to get to. There is also Resorts World at the NEC, which I didn't go to this time; but this did seem to close early. You also have B'ham International Airport which had lots of activity, an easy access viewing area too for all you fellow aviation geeks. You can also catch a train into B'ham too, which was easy. ROOMS... I believe I had a queen room, it was spacious for one person but the AC unit took some getting used to with the controls. The bed was comfy for me, lots of lights if needed uncluding an additional fan and kettle should you wish to use them. It was a clean room, and a cleaning service is available during your stay should you wish. SAFETY... The fire alarm is loud, the building is not overly complicated to navigate. WALKABILITY... A short walk (10-15 mins) to B'ham International station, and 20-30mins walking depending which way you go and where your hall is at the NEC. For access to the hotel from the train station, there is sign posted stairs and a lift on the bridge from the station to the NEC. I would say it takes about 20-30 mins to walk to the airport too.

For a budget room we used as a base, it was absolutely fine. It was clean, had most of what we needed and staff were pleasant. The room was a decent size and it was in short walking distance from the NEC.
