What guests think

At ibis budget Birmingham Centre, travellers highlight friendly staff and a convenient city centre location near the O2 Academy, while noting small, basic rooms, firm beds, recurring key card or lift issues, occasional plumbing smells, and limited, paid on-site parking.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many clean stays alongside reports of odours, hair, and sporadic pests. Amenities are minimal: no in-room kettle or hairdryer, continental-only breakfast, and basic communal options like vending and 24/7 pizza. Best for short, budget-minded stays close to gigs and shopping.

A good budget hotel with parking and dog-friendly. The staff are super friendly. Perfect for 1-2 nights. I wouldn't recommend for longer stays because the rooms are small, with not much surface space to put things and not many hooks to hang towels and clothes.

The room was basic but clean, bed comfy, I forgot to put the heating on so woke up a bit cold in the morning! But then discovered I couldn't get it switched on anyway (didn't have time to ask at reception before I left). Breakfast was good - continental all you can eat - and check in and check out was quick and efficient. Hotel was very busy on this stay so there wasn't a space left to park my car as I arrived late at night - but there is an NCP car park a couple of minutes walk away.

I didn't like the fact that I had to pay £8 a day to use the car park. Out of all the hotels I've stayed in, this was the only one that charged. One main reason I won't be staying there again.

This is the worst hotel ever in my life.I booked 5 day here in Room 353.On day 4 at noon ,one blonde hair staff knock my room door twice time and told me is time to check out(Impolite attitude).I suppose that she want cleaning my room so i reply her’ok wait few second ‘,then i change clothes and ready go out during the other short hair cleaner knock door and say i need check out again.Then i reply her i have booked 5 days,why i need to do that and prove it my booking information.after that she just say “oh is mistake ,you can go back to sleep”. Two staff haven’t any apology to me and go back their job as usual.I wonder why i had pay £485 for living then give me unprofessional service,my room hygiene is awful ,toilet have some silverfish, and cleaning not completely, never refill shower gel. When i check in first day at noght ,the front desk guy just give me key card and room no. no more presentation to me. Breakfast slightly better hostel(fruit and croissants )but not worth it £8.5.Overall to say, I highly not recommend live in this awful Hotel. Expensive but mess up my trip.

Room was filthy… cobwebs all over, thick grime in air vents and sticky floor. Key cards only worked sporadically. Very uncomfortable bed, combined with paper thin walls/loud guests meant a dreadful night sleep. Lots of light from corridor coming in from under door. The prison cell vibe was unpleasant but bearable for one night. Even common areas were dirty. Budget should not mean filthy, especially when paying £115 for a tiny room.

A very small place, would only recommend for solo travellers or groups of two in a room. Some of the staff were also not that attentive. I had asked for extra bed sheets and was told by the receptionist that some sheets would be brought to our room in 30 mins. I waited an hour before heading to reception again to follow-up. The receptionist had forgotten my request and said ‘oh yeah, what room are you again’ We also saw some silverfish in the room, so if you’re someone who can’t handle bugs, this may not be the place to stay.

Although clean, the room was very basic and I felt it was expensive for the price I paid considering I was on my own. There was a persistent noise throughout my stay - perhaps plumbing, people flushing the toilet, which made it difficult to sleep. It occurred every 30-60 seconds. The roads are extremely noisy in the morning too. I will not choose to stay here again because of the noise. There was no information that I could find when booking my room that gave an option to book a parking spot or warned that parking was limited so I ended up spending a lot at the NCP. I should have called ahead to ask.

Budget certainly explains it. Not the cheapest cost-wise, but certainly was inside the room. The mattress was so thin, it was barely there. No aircon, so the room was hot and stuffy. Open the window, and even five floors up, all you can hear is traffic. Shower and sink next to the bed, so no privacy.

Not a bad budget option for an overnight stay. The rooms are very small and the decor is reminiscent of a hostel, so you can tell you're slumming it a bit. Our room was clean but had a bad smell whenever we flushed the toilet. The cleaner was promptly able to offset it for a little while, but could not entirely resolve it during our stay. For an extra fee, there is a decent breakfast buffet, and also the option to order pizza 24/7 which may be worth it considering the delivery times following a concert. The hotel is a short walk from New Street through the vibrant China Town and Gay Village, with plenty of interesting shops and restaurants. As with most UK cities, I would still be wary walking around the area at night. The best part of this hotel are the friendly staff who are available 24/7 and remained polite, upbeat and helpful even throughout the night.

My stay with my girlfriend Dawn wasn't too bad for a budget style hotel. Clean bed but a bit hard. You can hear the linen lorry early in the morning outside. Also you can hear the other person using the toilet, which is not what i wanted to listen to. Otherwise it was in a good location near the New Street train station.

Great location for the Bullring. Reception staff very friendly.. Car park available on first come first served basis. Rooms clean and tidy.. On the negative... No facilities to have a cup of tea/coffee in your room, hot water available in a machine in reception then you have to bring it back up to your room, lots of noise as on a dual carriageway, shower and wash basin in the actual room not a separate bathroom. Other budget type hotels have these so for that reason I wouldn't stay in an Ibis again

No frills room but did the job for one night stay. Good location near the centre and on site parking at a reasonable price. Room was quite basic but very clean and bed was comfortable. Towels and shower gel provided, small tv and air con that we didn’t use. Wasn’t too noisy either. Would recommend for a very short trip of 1-2 nights but would probably need something with more room amenities for longer stays.

Polish woman on reception desk had very hostile, aggressive, argumentative and confrontational attitude when I asked to change rooms, due to noise, at night. She could just as easily have given me another room but instead, insisted on being difficult and awkward.

The young lady checking me in was bored, lazy and not an asset to the ibis. I asked for a quiet room away from the traffic. She gave me a room on the first floor (clearly full of hen party and stag party people, who came home all hours and work me up several times. She was giving other guests checking in rooms on other, higher floors so there was capacity. Then, the first key she gave me (Room No. 130) didn’t work twice. No word of apology that I had to approach the checking desk three times before I got into my room. Not one word of apology. It was as if she was doing me a favour. It was only when I said that I’d take a refund if the third attempt didn’t work that she changed the room and, surprise!!!, the key did work for room No. 148. She clearly thought it amusing to destroy years of appreciation for the ibis brand in one bad experience. Sad that the ibis has come to this. The young man in night duty was great, by contrast, letting me in at 9:00pm. But, too late. First impressions count. Would never pay £107 for such an overall poor experience again. Lack of professionalism, lack of manners, lack of work ethic and lack of care of her employer’s brand. More interested in being on her mobile phone when she left the desk unattended (I had to wait for her on my last attempt to get in my room). Not sure how she thinks the ibis pay her wages each month. Finally, the room was not very clean and worse, for me, it was cold all night with a noisy air con for heating.

Its called budget for a reason but you get what you pay for. Breakfast is continental only, no hot food - there is toast, cereal, muffins/croissants and fruit. Coffee machines do all the coffees. Staff were really friendly. There is 24/7 pizza available to your room. Room was standard, the sink was in the room, separate toilet and tiny corner shower. All clean though. Came to stay here for business, so was only in the room for sleeping which worked out ok. My room was on the busy road side but it was quiet, couldn't really hear any traffic.
