What guests think

Across reviews, ibis Styles Birmingham Centre is praised for friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a central location handy for the Utilita Arena and city sights, with on-site secure parking proving convenient despite its extra cost.

Common downsides include hot or stuffy rooms due to noisy or ineffective air-conditioning and sealed windows, occasional lift outages causing queues, and some noise between rooms. Breakfast is generally decent but quality and vegetarian choice vary, and there is no evening restaurant; a small late-opening bar and complimentary lobby hot drinks are appreciated. Overall, expect a straightforward, good-value city stay.

We were really impressed by this place. We were attending a concert at Utilita, easy walk there and we could leave the dog in whilst we went to the gig. (he just goes to sleep). Good value, friendly staff, good late night bar for a night cap. Also a really nice pub next door. Great stuff, will be back.

Fantastic hotel, check in/out easy, staff friendly and helpful, breakfast had good/plenty of choices, onsite parking under the hotel, only £15 per night. Bar a little overpriced but you are in a city! Free tea, coffee, hot chocolate 24/7 in reception. Tea/coffee in your room. Free wifi. 15min walk from Utilita arena. Would definitely recommend 100%!

Staff were amazing, facilities great, breakfast spot on, comfy beds and clean room with good facilities. Love the hotel. But what spoilt it for us was the lift from the car park to reception being broke meaning we had to lug cases up and down flights of stairs. We stay here as the Ibis and its facilities are so convenient.

Great room, with free breakfast included. My only complaint is that the parking garage isn’t properly signposted-had to literally go around the block to find the entrance!

Basic but perfectly adequate hotel, well situated. Staff were friendly and helpful, rooms were comfy and clean though a little hot - although there was air con it would have been nice to be able to open the window just a crack to get some fresh air in. There was a reasonable selection at breakfast and complimentary water, ice and hot drinks available in the lobby. Parking was an additional £15 per night.

Stayed here a few nights and enjoyed it. Air conditioning working as it should but missed being able to open a window to get some air. Bed was so comfortable as were the pillows. Amazing shower and loved how the bathroom is configured. Parking is £15 per night and is valid up till midnight even when checking out. Breakfast was ok, caters for everyone. Yeah I would stay here again.

Stayed here for 2 nights in April. We had 2 rooms as a family of 5. One room was fine but the other smelt really badly of damp. (Room 414) We asked to change but they were fully booked so couldn't, windows didn't open so we just tried to blast it with air-con to see if it helped. It didn't. Both family rooms had fold out sofa beds which were very uncomfortable and all the kids ended up in the double beds! Breakfast was ok standard hotel food although the kids loved the pancake machine and the giant Nutella! All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Location good for city centre, walk to New Street station in about 15-20min. Probably wouldn't stay here again as a family but maybe as a couple.

I eventually stayed in the 3rd room I was offered. The first 2 had a terrible stench of damp in them. Staff were good trying to get me different rooms but both times asked if I had touched or moved anything so I assumed they were going to allocate the smelly rooms to something else. 3rd room was ok but in need of decorating. I didn’t have breakfast as a colleague who went down before me messaged to say it was the worst breakfast he had ever had in a hotel and he has stayed in loads of hotels

Lovely hotel. Had a family room with sofa bed. Sofa bed wasn't very comfy but the bed was. It was clean, friendly staff and nice breakfast. Only downside was the Aircon which they had fitted a week ago was not working and we particularly looked for a hotel with Aircon. The staff were apologetic and gave us a fan. But no Aircon for 2 nights on the hottest days of the year. Location was great, on site parking and 10 mins walk to get to the central strip of shops / restaurants.

Hotel was easy to get to. Parking was handy. Room was ok. We had a family room and our bed was ok, kids bed was awful. Our daughter slept on the floor it was that uncomfy to share a sofa bed. Noisy bed, and awful room neighbours waking us all up 4 times going in and out of the rooms after hours and knocking on doors as they didn’t have a key card! Room run down for the price we paid! Breakfast was the only decent thing really!

Very disappointed with my stay at Ibis. The room was extremely hot which made the room very uncomfortable and when asked if we could turn the AC down we were told it was already at lowest level and there was nothing we could do. Resulting in a terrible nights sleep in what felt like a sauna

Hotel, location and breakfast in the morning was all lovely! Can’t fault where the hotel was , a great location for the city! However the staff in the place are laughable. So unprofessional, we arrived Saturday afternoon and the two staff members on reception did rock paper scissors to decide which one was going to serve us at the bar.This was while we waited for our room to be available, only @ 3 o’clock we could check in . So they had one big queue of people wanting to check in at the same time . Apart from all that. A good hotel. But wouldn’t return purely for the staff. Shame!

Location, easy walk in city for shopping and Utlita Arena. Staff were amazing. Thankfully we turned up early and got a space in the car park. Check in was efficient but there was a long queue, out the main doors when i joined it, took about 20 minutes. Checking in online still meant you had to queue to get your room key.

Central and walkable to the Utilita Arena, New Street station, canals and city shopping/dining, which many guests chose it for. The immediate street is fairly quiet, though reaching the car-park entrance can be confusing.

Excellent stay. Friendly staff. Secure parking . The only downside is that breakfast could have been better. There was only bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, beans and hash browns. I don't like to eat much meat but there wasn't any vegetarian sausages. The bacon was over cooked and hard, the hash browns had been sat out for a while with the lead down in steam so were soggy. They're wasnt a choice of eggs like poached or fried and there weren't any mushrooms. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and the free tea and coffee in reception was a nice touch. Bed was huge in 6th floor and very comfortable.

Hotel was in a good location for the utilia arena. Parking was easy and paid for on arrival. Check in was easy and quick. Room was basic but had what we needed, needed a bit of a paint and had a funny smell. Shower was hot and bed was large and comfy with nice big fluffy pillows. Bar area was open late and ideal for a few drinks after the show and before bed also free tea&coffee machine. Breakfast was great, well stocked and hot and lots of choice. Easy check out. We enjoyed our stay

For the cost of stay one night £180 plus, the location was good, but breakfast was the worst ever had in many hotels I have stayed in ibis, over cooked sausage and bacon was not really edible, so we did not eat it, the coffee was like thick dried coffee, not tasted like ground coffee. Nothing much else of the choice. Very very disappointing breakfast !!!

Nice room, nice shower and comfy beds. Lovely staff. Breakfast was ok but would be nicer if had choice of eggs rather than just scrambled which were a bit tasteless anyway and more veggie stuff would be good even if it was just mushrooms and cooked tomatoes you could asj for veggie sausages but a 20 minute wait! The hash browns were overcooked.

Stayed at this hotel a couple times now as it is only a 10 minute or so walk to the Utilita Arena and a 15 minute walk from the Bullring shopping centre so very handy. The staff are always helpful and polite and the hotel is clean. Handy underground car park for hotel guests but at the cost of £15.00 a night I do think it is a bit steep should be free really but at least your car is safe. We don't have breakfast there as didn't really enjoy that the last time we stayed so we ate breakfast in 1 of the places in the Bullring but Brindly place also have lots of places you can have breakfast aswell.
