Provider-sourced guest reviews.
It was so quiet despite being city centre, and the underground car park was a real plus.
The breakfast was OK but not a patch on Premier Inn breakfasts!
The staff were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the location was good.
The room was very tight for four people. There was no real space for us to put our suitcase or move around.
I stay in this hotel at least once a month. It is very clean and the breakfasts are great. It's basic, but comfortable. I did pay quite a lot for this stay compared to others. I don't think I got value for money for this particular stay. An additional 200 pounds compared to a previous stay doesn't make sense.
clean rooms and breakfast is always good.
great location
Quiet and clean
THERE IS A DANGER FOR GUESTS TO TRAP THEIR FINGERS IN THE BATHROOM DOOR , WHEN EXITING AND AS THE DOOR SWINGS BACK TO THE TOILET DOOR FRAME.
Perfect location for the Utility Arena, pub on the corner restaurants nearby, 10 mins walk from the station Free tea and coffee in reception bu a machine, plus tea and coffee in the room
Nothing
Comfortable, spacious room with a large bed and well designed bathroom. Breakfast was delicious and the bar was convenient.
Lovely and clean Good service
Loved the location and really loved the parking, and “left luggage” facility after checkout
Easy to get into city Exceptionally clean bathroom Comfy bed
A few biscuits in room would have been nice
Clean &comfortable, staff are amazing ,really friendly and helpful . Quiet ,relaxed.location, within 10mins walk of Symphony hall . Plenty of restaurants nearby. Parking good. coffee / juice/water machines free in the reception area
It’s a bit tired. No open window. Pillows hard
It was good bedroom poor
Rooms and services were all very good. Location was very good, close to Birmingham New Street station, a stone's throw from a great pub and just a short walk from excellent restaurants.
Our stay was for the test match at Edgbaston in the 9/9/26. So two nights were our ideal choice. Friendly welcome as always , car parked safely for our stay. New lifts and comfortable bed and showers etc. plenty of refreshments available.
Not a criticism, but lighting in room could have been improved slightly. In bed area , lights in headboard not enough. Could be upgraded to directional ones. Room 307 on Lionel Street side. Only observation to make.
Location was excellent for our visit. Close to Opheem and a short walk from the station. Breakfast was better than expected although maple syrup to go with the pancakes would have been appreciated.
Ice machine was not working for early evening drinks and we were advised it would not be fixed for a nightcap - no freezers on the premises? Lighting in the room was insufficient- a centre light would have been better.
Great location, very welcoming and clean. Free coffee facilities!

Gave all I needed.
Opted to not have room service for the second day and realized the tea and coffee supplies didn't cover the whole stay.
Big clean room great location
Great location Secure parking (additional fee) gave peace of mind Lovely staff Free refreshments
TV channels and WiFi limited. WiFi kept dropping out.
Proximity to bullring and parking on-site
Staff were amazing. Car park facilities were fab! Great location
Could do with more pillows in the room, 1 per adult on the double bed wasn’t enough. Slightly cramped with sofa bed out for child but overall was happy.
The staff very polite and helpful location is good
I would carpets could do with refresh for sure and floor boards in corridors seemed very noisy I hope we didn’t disturb anyone walking to our room
Hotel parking
The location is perfect and the staff are friendly and helpful especially the receptionist
Not having an opening window

It was central to where we needed to be. Our room was clean & semi functional. Breakfast was nicely arranged. Secure parking.
Major no no for me was the dining staff removing plates etc off tables whilst we were still eating - found this rude & disrespectful. Hot food was added to, not rotated around. The water tanks in both the dining room & reception need regular cleaning before reusing, not just topping up. The lighting in the room was dismal. Only one chair in a twin/double room. Sockets are not close enough to mirror to use hair styling products. The chairs in the bar/dining areas are old & battered. No ice facility.
Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Room smelt nice and felt cosy. Breakfast was great. The underground parking was really helpful. It cost £15 for 24 hours. However we were lucky it wasn't a very busy night at the hotel as it's not a huge carpark so you could quite easily pay for parking, leave the hotel for an evening and return to find no space. I'd have been annoyed if that happened but luckily there were spaces on my return around 11pm.
The sofa bed was smaller than I imagined.
The room was a great size, with a large bed and many plug sockets - always good, especially when they're next to the bed. The new air con system was mostly great, but sometimes it seemed to suddenly get warmer when we wanted it colder. And the 'big light' could have been with being a little brighter as it wasn't easy to see when applying make-up at the desk. The lighting in the bathroom was much better (but meant standing). The shower was excellent. Enjoyed breakfast with a good range of tasty options. Decaf tea was a nice surprise. And the location was great for us as we had plans for both nights of our stay which were in opposite directions but still easily accessible by foot, as was the shopping we did during the day. Car park was also very good with many spaces to choose from.
As mentioned above, the 'big light' in the bedroom could have been a little brighter and the air con didn't always behave in the way we expected it to.
I loved my room very clean and had coffee and tea , very clean , beds very comfy . Breakfast was lovely lots of choice lovely staff very helpful xx jus one small thing I thought car park was a bit expensive think it should be free for people staying tbh
Good location (near Birmingham Museum), really good beds + pillows, everthing very very clean (room is cleaned every day). Parking below building. Kind people. All in all, a pleasure. Good value for money!
Occasionally some sounds (from ventilation system?)
Vriendelijk personeel, locatie hartje centrum, maar geen last van lawaai. Goed en ruim opgezet ontbijt met vers fruit en volop keuze en de hele dag gratis koffie en thee
The room was spacious, with a comfortable bed and a large sofa. Everywhere was clean, tidy and well presented, and the staff were very friendly. I truly enjoyed my two-nights stayed.

Breakfast price
The loacation was very good, parking good, very clean and friendly staff
The bed was very uncomfortable as were the pillows. There isn’t a comfortable lounge area to sit and have a drink. Adequate breakfast No drawers and hardly any storage in the room to put clothes away Definitely not a fan of the beanbag chair in the room, nowhere comfortable to sit in room and very poor lighting
Good
The bacon should be neutral; not everyone eats pork. Chicken bacon should have been good.
I really enjoyed my stay at the Ibis Styles Birmingham Centre hotel It had everything that I could need. Having stayed at this hotel before I knew that I would be very happy staying here again. Its perfect with its location in the centre of Birmingham so it was very easy getting around on foot.
I booked online and wasn't aware that breakfast was not included in the price and if I wanted breakfast I would have to pay extra.
Service. Location and hospitality
AC was not working and room was not cooler enough
Room was a decent size, excellent bathroom facilities too. The location was perfect too as could easily walk around the city
There was no signage on the road about the car park, just had to keep following the road round and luckily saw the tiny sign advising the carpark was there. Would’ve appreciated better signage after navigating around Birmingham chaotic city roads to get to the hotel
Great location, room was good size
Breakfast was good. Tea and coffee at the reception for free was nice. Locate was good just walk down to the shops.
One lift working, people running around the floors at all hours. no phone in the room to call down. We had two small kids didnt sleep coz of it. Wen down to reception no one was around. Told the women on the day of check out and she just said ok. Very disappointed. Sofa bed was really uncomfortable for the kids. Asked about it and got told they havnt anything else.
Great location, good breakfast. The complementary coffee machine in reception was a great bonus. The beds were really comfy and the room very clean with goid air con.
One lift wasn't working which meant a slightly delay getting to room at busy times. This was only a little thing.
Pieno centro
La colazione da rivedere
Zeer groot kingsize bed in ruime kamer. In centrale hal goed koffie apparaat vrij voor gebruik. Ligging op 10 minuten lopen centrum. Parkeren onder het hotel.
Niets viel tegen
Central location but in a quiet road. Had its own parking garage. Spotlessly clean. Enjoyed the complementary coffee machine in Reception. Staff smiled upon arrival.
Nothing
Fab spot near everything we needed.Staff were helpful.Great stay.
El baño estaba muy bien, el detalle de poder tomar cafe, chocolate, agua con limón....sin coste
La cama no era muy cómoda
The staff were very polite
Could do with vending machines
En pleno centro de Birmingham, la habitación tenía un buen tamaño para 3 personas. Todo muy limpio y con muchos detalles.
El wifi no llega a la habitación, algo imprescindible para cualquier viajero.
Room and staff excellent. Very quiet and comfortable room. Very friendly and professional staff. Breakfast options very good
A gym would be a nice addition. And possibly a better bar, and maybe a restaurant
The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly and informative. The buffet breakfast was excellent value for money.
We were awoken quite early by construction work in the surrounding area of the Hotel. Obviously, not the hotels fault.
Todo fue perfecto muy céntrico y el desayuno increíble.
Everything about the place was great. Friendly staff, comfy beds and.pillows. Breakfast was included and was a great choice.
I couldn't fault anything and would definitely return
Location staff and 24hr parking
Central convenient location, helpful staff and very comfortable bed. Liked the little extra touches such as hot drinks, ice and free magazines in reception.
Only one functioning lift during our stay
Really clean
Very easy access to museums, pubs and Victoria Square and not far from the Bull Ring and New St Station - so good location. Room was decent size and pleasant.
Bathroom was a bit small. The £12 breakfast wasn't great.
Great location
Ideally located in the city centre and free coffee/hot drinks, water and ice available in reception along with free papers. Helpful staff.
The room and the free coffee machine in reception was a big bonus
The tiles in the bathroom needs to be checked. I suspect a small leak underneath
Sehr zentrale Lage und trotzdem eigene Parkplätze zu einem fairen Preis. Insgesamt gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Leider keine Minibar im Zimmer.
Nice Hotel. Good location in the City centre. Friendly & helpful staff.
Can't open windows in room as it had no opening. Breakfast was ok.
The room was good size and clean. The bathroom was big and the shower was amazing. Loved the complimentary hot drinks machine in the lobby. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Overall an excellent experience
The room needed brighter lighting but it didn't detract from our overall experience
Huone oli siisti ja ilmastointi toimi todella hyvin. Aamupala ihan ok. Hotellin sijainti oli hyvä.
Henkilökunta oli vaihtelevaa, osa oli todella ystävällisiä ja osa ei edes tervehtinyt.
The location was perfect for what we wanted.
Comfortable bed Friendly staff

Great price in the city centre, only about 10mins walk from New Street station and the same to St Chad's Cathedral. The Shakespeare pub next door was lovely. My Queen room was huge and spacious with a massive comfy bed and all the facilities I needed. I was able to leave my luggage easily and quickly at reception, both before and after my stay. The free coffee machine and water in reception were a nice touch although I didn't need to use them. Staff were helpful and efficient.
The room was a little dated and the streets outside were a bit rough, although I did still feel safe walking to and from the hotel in the daytime.
The room was clean and comfortable
For a city centre hotel and compared with other Bham hotels the breakfast was limited and best described as underwhelming
Good location, quiet room, kind staff.
It’s quite basic but very pricey. Paid less for 1 night in central London in a 4 star hotel than for this 3 star in Birmingham.
Tap was broken in room 527 and battery remote in tv was dead . Really poor experience, so won’t stay again and tell all my friends not to either
Lovely hotel. Room was ready even though we arrived 30 minutes early. Clean comfy cool room. Lovely walk in shower. Liked the free coffee and cold water in Reception area.
Nothing. It was just a little far to walk in heat to where we needed to catch shuttle bus to athletics.
Great value for money. Property was good, stay was smooth, friendly staff
Location only, staff
Very uncomfortable because we couldn't open the window to get fresh air, we booked it for 4 nights but we left place the next day, At least I could get 50% of total amount paid!!!!!! Also paid £60 at counter for parking for 4 nights but I only parked for 1 night , At least £45 could have been offered back as a refund because I didn't use the service which I paid for !!!!?????!!!!
It was all very good for the price, comfy place to stay, near lots of main attractions, good breakfast. Would definitely recommend.
The location was very convenient, super close to the train station and the venue we were in Birmingham for.
Not much, only minor things like rattling air con and slightly uneven mattress, nothing that would stop me booking again though
The hotel was brilliant. The beds were huge, very comfortable with crisp sheets and amazing pillows. The air conditioning worked really well. The shower pressure was perfect and there were nice products (albeit no conditioner). The staff were unbelievably friendly. It was perfectly located, just a few minutes from the train station and within walking distance of the canal area.
The breakfast was adequate, but did the job.
Très bien placé. Personnel très sympathique

Good sized room. Nice shower. Comfortable bed and good location. Room was kept cool
Our room was quite dark. Aircon was slightly noisy, but didn't bother us.

The pillows were extremely flat and hard. Hardly slept and woke with neck pain.
