I consider myself reasonable well travelled & have stayed in some seriously dodgy/sub standard hotels in my time, but none quiet as bizarre as this one. My partner booked it & failed to read any of the reviews on it before hand. When we arrived, we were greeted by the 8ft steel fence similar to ones you would imagine you'd... more

On arrival in Birmingham, I phoned the hotel asking for directions and they were very unclear. I got lost and ended up having to take a 15 minute taxi drive to the hotel despite being told it was only 500m away from Birmingham New Street Station - which is a total lie. In my room, there were other peoples hair... more

We had booked 4 nights in this hotel for the duration of the Test Match at Edgbaston. Checked out after just one night as the rooms were shocking. Front door wouldn't open fully, carpet was filthy, mould growing on the ceiling, bathroom door wouldn't close and the sink did not drain away. Certainly worth avoiding at all costs. Only redeeming... more

Not much to add to all the other reviews. I booked Ibis as I have used the chain many times travelling in France and a few times in the UK and have always been satisfied. This place is however in a league of it's own - the bottom league that is. The rooms are old, dingy, stink of tobacco smoke... more

Really awful hotel on the edge of the city centre. Small dated dark bedrooms which smell of cig smoke, dirty carpets, poor quality bathrooms and dismal breakfast facilities. Etap next door is part of the same chain but is better and even cheaper. There was a queue of guests complaining in the morning, so it took ages to check out... more

my partner and my 3 months old stayed here as i was on a hen night and didnt want my daughter being too far away from me and the teaxi fare home would have been loads! first off, its hard to find, when you get there, you dont know how to get in. Then my room's door wouldnt open so... more

Located in the middle of nowhere, though close to the city center. Noisy, cold, hardly clean. Toilet rolls and shower gel missing at arrival! Asked staff to change a faulty light-bulb : a young member of staff spent 15min in our room at 9PM trying to fix it, while our 4 years old son was sleeping....and never made it. Not... more

I stayed here for two nights with my partner who was attending an exhibition at the NEC. Birmingham New Street Station is a 2 minute walk and then the train to the NEC takes about 10 minutes. So convenient and the hotel is great value. We took our puppy along as the hotel accepts pets and the staff even looked... more

I remember a friend saying he stayed there as a close location to the club he was attending that night. That's all he said on the matter. When i arrived i was greeted by a huge prison style gate, which i do admit did kind of make me feel secure about leaving my new car there at first, but after... more
