Value for money

Original room hadn’t been cleaned but replacement found quickly. Room was lovely and spacious every amenity you could wish for. Bed was king sized very comfortable. Bathroom let down by dirty shower tray, empty showergel dispensers. Breakfast was very good.paid around £80 for room which is about right

Great hotel

The hotel stay started a little late due to late checkouts, and we were given a room with a bath for our first room after waiting nearly 2 extra hours on top of the 3pm check in time, we requested a walk in shower for our room, my brother and dad had one that they didn’t request, but we’re happy with, at least when I rang reception and told them we requested a walk in shower so then said to wait for a call they were going to call housekeeping to sort a room for us. Once we received that room we had a great stay, the breakfast was great, at least we had air conditioning in the room, we did have to evacuate due to a fire alarm went off, but apart from that we were fine.

Held hostage in the car park

The hotel was comfortable and clean, and the room was stylish. The staff we interacted with were all polite and pleasant. However, we would advise against using the “special deal” on car parking at the NCP behind the hotel. The ticket validation system is at best not very clear, and despite doing exactly what the receptionist told us to do, the exit machine wouldn’t accept that we had already paid and then promptly swallowed our ticket. We went back to the hotel where the receptionist assured us that all we needed was the hotel validation ticket (which we already had) and just to “press the button” and ask the attendant for help if the same thing happened again. Predictably the exit machine would not accept this ticket, there is no button to press and no attendant available to help. We had to spend ages in a queue on the phone to reach NCP “customer service” who then robotically repeated the line that if we didn’t have the original ticket we would have to pay again! Bearing in mind that it was their machine that had swallowed the ticket, this was absolutely infuriating. An extra hour added on to our journey time plus an extra £30 and a lot of frustration! PS The same thing happened to an older couple just ahead of us, so it feels like this is a problem that needs addressing if the hotel continues to offer its guests parking through NCP

Service and location were really great. Breakfast was excellent for the price. Unfortunately though the air conditioning in the building was not in service so it was uncomfortably stuffy in the room.

Arrived to check in several hours after the check in time to be told that the room still wasn't ready. We were advised it would be ready in 10 mins and offered a complimentary drink. The room was not ready until 50 mins later. On entering the room there were still wet towels in the bathroom and bins with no bin bags. Given that we had paid for a premium room the service did not reflect this. We were offered complimentary parking but for the level of inconvenience i would have expected a discount. Would think twice about booking here!

We were in Birmingham for one night to see a play at the Alexandra Theatre, which was a short walk around the corner from the hotel. The NCP car park was 100 yards away and extremely convenient, albeit a little expensive (£30 for 24 hrs). All in all, the hotel was in a fantastic location and very convenient for our trip.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre this past weekend with my partner for one night. Overall, the hotel was fairly clean and check-in was straightforward and efficient, which we appreciated after a long day of travel. The location is also excellent—very central and convenient for exploring the city. However, we were disappointed by the lack of air-conditioning in the room. This was not communicated to us either during check-in or beforehand via email. A fan was offered, but this was not a sufficient substitute, and although there was mention of a complimentary bottle of water to help with the heat, this never arrived. Thankfully, the weather was not as hot as it has been recently, otherwise we would have found the room extremely uncomfortable. As it was, we just about managed, but had we known in advance, we would likely have booked elsewhere. In summary, the stay was adequate for one night and the location is great, but the lack of transparency around room amenities—particularly something as essential as air-conditioning—is a let-down and something to be aware of before booking.
