ibis budget Birmingham International Airport - NEC

Room was covered in hair up in the bunk bed. We had a disability room and was no lock on the bathroom. We didn’t need a disabled room, and was awkward to shower a child in. The bunk bed was not made up, so when asked at reception, we were given laundry packs and had to make the bed ourselves.

Perfect for an eatly flight

Check in was very slow considering I had checked in online. It was very late (3:30am) & we just wanted to get to bed

It was fine - comfortable bed, ok shower & toilet, bathroom a little dated but perfectly clean and functional. Pleasant staff at reception and in the bar. A bedside lamp would have been appreciated rather than just the main room light. No tea and coffee in the room, but available 24/7 on the first floor, not the most convenient when you're on the 5th floor but manageable. Overall, really convenient for the airport and Birmingham International train station (though it would have been useful to have walking directions to both at reception, given that that's where 99% of guests would be going). However as a solo traveler a minimum of £100/night is stretching the definition of "budget" ! Fortunately accepts Tesco clubcard vouchers through hotels.com

Quick check in, room basic abd small but only sleeing untill 4am so ok, think alk rooms should have a kettle, i brought one with me so ok, food usual choice and exagerated price, to be expected, so a reasonably cheap complete deal for airport hotel which is literally 5 min walk to the airport

Single bed was not made up Had to move rooms as the lock was broken and the key card didn’t work Every time a tap turned on you could

Ideal for check in at airport

Clean room, easy to get to the airport.

Clean room, nice food, ideal location

Very convenient for NEC and airport, lovely staff, good food served promptly

Very noisy people working below window all night. Banging pushing large plastic trolleys. Noise was all night

You get what you pay for which was very basic

N.a

Excellent no fuss stay and so close to airport terminal

Does exactly what it needs to do for its purpose. A one night pre-flight stay.

Basic but effective

Attentive staff and easy relaxed atmosphere.

Bare basics. Good airport access

Hotel is showing its age. It is quite tatty and rooms are well worn. Staff were pleasant and helpful though.

The rooms aren't fancy but it was clean and convenient and a good choice for people watching their budget.

it was great by the airport but the room was uncomfortable. insufficient pillows, seating limited to a box shape. not easy to walk around. no tea and coffee in rooms

The only thing was the Coffee/Area was saying 24/7 but milk was not available so running up and down floors to get them topped up was unacceptable

Smaller than a dorm room. One room with seperate toilet and seperate shower both opening into main room. NO Privicy. No hair dryer. No facial tissue. Our 2 suitcases took up almost all the floor space. Plastic stool for chair. Small 20"? TV. Desk space a 3-4 foot counter top. All this for $162.00 for the night. The only plus was it was close to the airport and was clean.

The staff tried to print something off for me and they were very helpful

Our stay at your hotel was booked to assist us with a very long day travelling back to Uk after having an amazing holiday. I was disappointed to find that there was no tea making facilities in our actual room, Although I do appreciate that we could access tea and coffee along the corridor in a designated area. We both also fell victim to bites that we can only determine were received while in your hotel, We had no bites prior to our arrival x

Room only - for overnight stay before early flight. Check in was quick and receptionist was friendly. A basic clean compact room. Some noise from outside. Would have liked tea facilities in room not on another landing a floor below. Very expensive.

For those early morning flights this is a great accommodation option. On site food (dinner and breakfast) and quick/easy walk to the airport

First room dirty small and no tea making facilities changed room leeking wate water disposal with a paper bin under it.

Excellent customer service

Missed having a kettle in the room

Perfect for an overnight stay for our flight in the morning. We parked on car park 3 right opposite and literally just cross the road and hotel is there. Pick up our card on arrival and was directed which room number & floor level. Room was great and had all we needed. Will definitely be using again.

Booked the budget side of hotel so no problem room and facilities small. Blind would not close in first room and staff immediately allocated us an alternative room with no problem. Budget not much cheaper than other element of hotel but you do not get coffee facilities in room although there is a seating area on first floor with free coffee/tea making facilities

Just needed a room for the night near airport the Ibis Budget Hotel was just perfect room was very clean bed extremely comfortable staff lovely. Food at restaurant was excellent.

Very convenient for the airport.

Get what you pay for, i.e. budget. Be nice to have a chair in the room.

Excellent budget location for access to Birmingham airport, AirRail to train station, NEC and Resorts World. Good size room, comfortable bed, nice compact shower. Nice breakfast buffet and friendly staff. Blackout blind in room a bit awkward and fiddly to open. No plug socket next to bed.

Did the job place to rest out heads

Had to collect and make the bunk bed One of the female staff was unhelpful with a bad attitude. Lift out of order but there was more. It is a budget hotel was the staff's reply,so done expect anything and you won't be disappointed

Fantastic

Close to the airport

The food was surprisingly good. The room was very good value for money. There was no kettle but the staff directed us to a free tea/coffee room, due to our early checkout. It looked fine in the evening but at 5am some thieving sod had stolen ALL the tea bags!

Staff friendly room very clean

The property is very close to the airport and to the train station. The staff was very nice especially the Filipina receptionist. The food was actually good, we were surprised by that. We slept well, I find the bed comfortable.

All satisfactory

For an overnight stay before an early flight, the Ibis Budget at Birmingham Airport really ticked the boxes and was literally across the road from our Maple valet parking drop off. It's not luxurious but perfectly adequate. Then a three minute walk to the terminal the following morning. Great stuff!

The location for an early flight was pretty good, but the property itself was dirty and cheap. The room was no frills. In my room I found the base of a kettle, but no kettle. When I asked reception about this, I was told they are in the process of removing all the kettles from the rooms and I could go to level 1 to the coffee and tea room if I wanted hot drinkable water. Why would they remove a feature? Seems counter-productive to me! I also asked to borrow an iron and was told to go to the ironing room on level 3. This was no more than a small cupboard with a singular iron and dirty ironing board. On the way there I discovered what was either vomit or mould on the hallway carpets. Gross. Also two of the staff that I interacted with were good, the other two were cold and unpleasant. Once you're in the shower there is a warning to "Please take care when standing or walking on wet surfaces. Bath mats are available from reception", so they're so cheap as to not even provide a bath mat in the room as default. I did sleep alright, so the bed didn't seem uncomfortable, but that's about all I can say on the positive side of things. Honestly it was the worst accommodation I stayed in over my 5 week trip. Would recommend you look for an alternative unless you're prepared for the poor quality.

Just fine for a sleep and shower before an early morning flight. Have used this facility multiple times.

Aircon was amazing, bed and pillows was comfortable, towls were nice. Toilet rolls looked a bit dirty/had a yellow tinge, keycard had to be reprogrammed after a day to my room (stayed for 2 nights). Room service/maids came between days to room to change towl which was nice. It was verry basic and plain.

Very good hotel like it a lot all good

The hotel was very clean and the staff were incredibly friendly. The room itself was pokey but was what we expected for the price we paid and we were only there for 8 hours. The location was exceptional and we would definitely book there against for the same price (£49). At the same time we were disappointed to not have a kettle in the room.

Bed very uncomfortable, room very small, very outdated. Hotel itself fine, but hotel reception consistently slow every time they were needed.

Normally stay at ibis but stayed budget Ibis this time , found rooms exceptionally basic , can use facilities as the Ibis but would not stay budget again

Bed and pillows were very firm but apart from that all good

Rooms are tiny- booked tripple bunk bed and barely any space. Pictures are deceptive.

Very close to the airport.

So close to the airport, clean quiet room and the staff were outstanding - would stay again when flying out early. Thank you.

Tiny room just about big enough for 1 person with 2 or 3 coat hangers, bed was ok, shower was small and cramped, all in all it was pretty basic and the price reflects the convenience of being next door to the airport not the quality of the hotel.

Get what you pay for

Pretty good place to stay, booked it as I had a early flight the next day

This hotel is very convenient for the very early flights from Birmingham Airport as you can walk direct to the terminal in about 2 mins. From alarm at 2.50am to beers in the lounge was under 30 mins.

First time usage definitely not the last

Pefect hotel for a night's stay before flying with easy access to the airport.

We were very dissapointed with the room we had first of all it was very small i requested twin beds it was double we had plus there was a horrible smell in the shower I will not stay at Ibis again we have a few times in the past standard has definitely gone down hill there

The 3rd bed wasn’t made, it was quite difficult to make this due to it being a bunk bed. The sheet was also badly stained, and had it been made the staff would have seen this. Otherwise the location was great.

Great cheap hotel next to airport. They have increased size of bed so very comfortable Really clean room and bathroom quiet

Ok

Proximity to Departures

Had to make up the child’s bed ourselves. The bed was dirty so we had to change rooms. £150 for one night and not even a made bed, rip off.

Poor check in

Rom was very basic. No air conditioning

Convenient to the airport.

Great place to stay for a morning flight. Comfortable bed, nice and clean and very convenient.

This is a budget hotel, and it delivers exactly what you’d expect – and then some. While it’s not luxurious, the quality for the price is excellent. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, the room had a TV and a window, and despite being right beside the airport, it was very quiet. If you’re looking for affordable, clean, and comfortable accommodation for one night without the frills, this is a great choice. If you want luxury, look elsewhere – but if you want value, this place delivers.

Walking distance from arrivals, great breakfast, well signed so easy to find

The toilet in room 125 dripped all night and the cistern continuously filled up making a noise. Not much sleep had

Stopped at the hotel prior to a flight the following morning. The bunk bed bedding was in poor condition covered in stains. I had to queue to get replacement bedding. Fryers were not working so not much food choice plus tables were left untidy. The queue to the bar was very slow indeed. Otherwise it was ok. Helpful staff that sorted the bedding issue however no apology was given.

Great for the early morning flights and a very short walk to departures. Ticked all the boxes 😁

Property is very basic. Great staff and service.

Quick check in , excellent breakfast , no hot drinks making facilities in room as kettle was missing !

Hotel location excellent and clean Rooms very basic and small Food and drinks expensive No car parking

Was a budget hotel would probably pay the extra and stay at 4 star

Room was clean. Tv wouldn’t work. There was no food available in the hotel. Bed sagged

Convenient stop over before an early flight

The room was really smelly, inside temperature of 33 degrees with no way of cooling it down. No tv remote and dangerous loose wiring

Easy stay for the night before an early flight

Convenient for the airport being just two minutes walk. In the room there was some coffee but only one sachet of sugar, Would really help if they could sort things like this out as it's poor customer service.

Nothing wrong as such but bunk bed not suitable for OAP we put the mattress on the floor

Clean room comfy bed , shower, ok breakfast , convenient 2min walk into airport.

Kettle didn’t work in the room and no plug for sink to save water. Otherwise fine

Nice for 1 night with early flight.

The room was not great. The toilet was tiny, sink was in the main room, the shower light only came on with the main lights so it was difficult to shower while not waking my spouse up. The bunk bed was positioned so I banged my head several times, and the bedside shelves were tiny. The blind did not have a cord attached so could not be retracted.

Small room but clean. Food was fresh and reasonable

I visited the UK for 7 days arriving at and leaving from Birmingham Airport during which I hired a car. The car rental is 2 minutes walk from the terminal and from the hotel. On my return I stayed from 11pm until 5 am with a complimentary breakfast served from 4.30 onwards - I walked to the terminal in 2 minutes and checked in for my 8 am return flight. Very easy, very smooth - no complaints!

It suited our needs

Clean. Easy Airport access. Good restaurant on site

All good, staff helpful, bed very comfy

Ideal location for airport. We had 3 rooms and the blinds didn't work in any of them. I tried to open mine and the metal piece across the top fell on my face. Could do with plug near a mirror. Apart from those few issues, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast.

It’s decent for the money. Proximity to airport good and bar area nice. No hairdryer and small rooms with little space. Booked a room for 3 and 3rd bed not made up

I'm not sure that anyone even stays here for more than one night but for that it's perfect. The rooms are clean, modern and functional and the hotel is a very short walk from the airport. We had to ask a member of staff for help to get the tv working. She came immediately, sorted it and was very pleasant. No complaints.

For goodness' sake, do I need to complete a review every time I check into a hotel? And every time I buy a can of drink? And every time I make a business phone call?? We're being asked to spend more time doing reviews than doing the actual business of our lives - and do you REALLY need to be praised every 5 minutes for simply doing what you're paid to do, namely checking people in? And does anyone pay attention to these reviews? Not likely!
