Royal Square Hotel - NEC & Birmingham Airport is praised for its handy location for the NEC and airport and consistently friendly, helpful staff, but guests also report compact, basic rooms and mixed comfort suitable mainly for short, budget stays.
Noise is a recurring complaint, with thin walls, traffic and plumbing sounds, and some rooms near reception or the boiler affecting sleep. Cleanliness and maintenance are mixed, with several reports of odors, tiny bathrooms, weak or inconsistent showers, and occasional heating or TV problems, alongside many comments finding rooms clean. Facilities and dining are limited: paid on-site parking, periods when the kitchen or restaurant was closed, and breakfasts that often felt basic or poor value, though a few guests were satisfied. Expect a simple, no-frills stopover.

A very tired old hotel. Rooms are terrible. Bathrooms are tiny and smelly. No hot water in the morning for a shower. Worst experience I have had for a while.

The staff are helpful and the rooms are basic but OK on a budget. Clean but has a bit of a musty smell. It's an old property with wooden floorboards and thin walls so you can hear everything. I could not get a good night's sleep and was woken up several times in the night. One morning I had no hot water. Would not stay there again.

Cheap rate booked on hotels.com. Turned up and they demanded £6.00 extra for parking, obviously to keep their online price low. Paid reasonable £5.00 for breakfast but breakfast consisted of cheap cellophane wrapped croissant and cereals and powdered coffee I could have had in my room. At least the milk was fresh!

Our 3 complaints were the heater was broken. We had to ask for a heater which they provided. The TV did not work nor was there a remote. We were in room 4 which we could hear every guest coming and going. The noise was constant. We could hear them at the front desk. Other than that it served its purpose for being close to the event that we attended. The front desk staff was personable.

This is the worst hotel I have ever booked via Hotels.com. I stayed in Room 4, right under steps and all night you can hear people going up and down. TV did not work and it was extreamly dirty behind TV. Carpet was full of stains including what looks like an Iron that burned the carpet by the bathroom. Bed skirt was coverred in stains. Chair by the desk is broken and also full of stains. Curtains are to small for the window and a blue neon light from outside keep the room very bright. Breakfast was a joke and not worth the 9gbp. Hotels.com, you might want to inspect this hotel because these hotels should not be on it. As for myself, I would much rather sleep in the airport next time then go to this hotel again.

Lovely welcome and very clean but the rooms were very small and everytime someone in the building use the toilet or shower the noise was umbearable. Also was not informed on parking fee of £6.00 per day and £15.00 per dog. Maybe this should be added to the description. The kitchen was being refurbed so there was no restaurant for the evening meal or cooked breakfast. On saying that the host was so friendly and helpful

The staff are friendly and welcoming, the bed was comfy, the room had tea coffee available. Breakfast was good as there was a nice selection of food and drinks. The only downside is the walls are not soundproof. So any noisy guests talking or banging doors would be an inconvenience. The shower took a bit of tuning to get the temperature right. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.

Firstly the positives. Staff were absolutely lovely - friendly, helpful and polite. The hotel is in a great location, and is very pretty, not just your bog standard boring hotel. Unfortunately, our ground floor room was like a fridge. The radiator got no warmer than just above body temperature, and the small shower room was seriously draughty and even colder than the room. The water from the shower was just over a trickle and nowhere near warm enough. Stepping out into the room was a horrible experience! The breakfast was very over priced - £15 for 2 of the nastiest sausages (the type that are £5 for a hundred), awful dried shrivelled mushrooms, rock hard bacon and cheap beans with instant coffee. The toast was ok though. For £15 I expected far better.

Property was clean. Although not stated parking was charged per day. Shower had a leak in and room was tiny. We booked the biggest room and honestly it was ridiculously small. No storage space at all. Bed was extremely uncomfortable, was like sleeping on a brick. Staff were lovely though and it’s such ashame the stay wasn’t as pleasurable as we would have liked given the price point we could have paid an extra £10 and stayed in a premier inn. Seriously cannot fathom the price for such small rooms and the standard of the rooms.

A good place to stay at for a night or 2. Standard rooms, I would say the rooms are quite small. The accommodation is placed on a main road so it can get quite noisy with hearing cars / vans go by. The walls are white thin as you can hear people exiting and entering their rooms. Decent location to the NEC. Friendly staff, would stay again.

We were in room 4 which we could hear every guest coming and going. The noise was constant. We could hear them at the front desk. Other than that it served its purpose for being close to the event that we attended. The front desk staff was personable.

I came to Birmingham for the Autosport show at the NEC and needed budget hotel near to the show and this fitted my needs. Friendly staff, clean room and quiet environment, will use again on any further trips

The Manager was extremely helpful and the Hotel very clean and convenient for Birmingham Airport. We will definitely use this Hotel again. Bedroom small but bed very comfortable.

Located very close to bus stops, actually makes it a hotel with a very small amount of walking to the NEC. Staff was friendly and respectful. Card machine issue but he resolved it very quickly ay check-in.

Dining
Dining is limited: on some stays the kitchen or restaurant was closed and there was no evening meal. Breakfast feedback often notes small or basic options and poor value, though a few guests enjoyed the selection.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, the bed was comfy, the room had tea coffee available. Breakfast was good as there was a nice selection of food and drinks. The only downside is the walls are not soundproof. So any noisy guests talking or banging doors would be an inconvenience. The shower took a bit of tuning to get the temperature right. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.

Dreadful, room was smelly, bed up against wall, bedside table covered part of the bed, shower was cold. Patio area disgraceful, kitchen closed so no food. Parking was not free. I would definitely advise against staying at this hotel.

Firstly the positives. Staff were absolutely lovely - friendly, helpful and polite. The hotel is in a great location, and is very pretty, not just your bog standard boring hotel. Unfortunately, our ground floor room was like a fridge. The radiator got no warmer than just above body temperature, and the small shower room was seriously draughty and even colder than the room. The water from the shower was just over a trickle and nowhere near warm enough. Stepping out into the room was a horrible experience! The breakfast was very over priced - £15 for 2 of the nastiest sausages (the type that are £5 for a hundred), awful dried shrivelled mushrooms, rock hard bacon and cheap beans with instant coffee. The toast was ok though. For £15 I expected far better.

Cheap rate booked on hotels.com. Turned up and they demanded £6.00 extra for parking, obviously to keep their online price low. Paid reasonable £5.00 for breakfast but breakfast consisted of cheap cellophane wrapped croissant and cereals and powdered coffee I could have had in my room. At least the milk was fresh!

Not brilliant from the start pay extra for parking pay extra for breakfast. Put on second floor which I could barely get up the stairs (no lift) no restaurant food unless ordered in takeaway. I couldn’t get down stairs for food so ate next days sandwiches. Snacks were available to pay for. Bed very uncomfortable for me

Lovely welcome and very clean but the rooms were very small and everytime someone in the building use the toilet or shower the noise was umbearable. Also was not informed on parking fee of £6.00 per day and £15.00 per dog. Maybe this should be added to the description. The kitchen was being refurbed so there was no restaurant for the evening meal or cooked breakfast. On saying that the host was so friendly and helpful

Parking is £7 per night breakfast also chargeable. Room was tiny and really hot and behind reception so every time they moved the door slammed. Not a good night sleep really.

Lovely staff! Comfy room and bed, very clean, silence at most times, you can use the toaster and microwave in their common area and complimentary coffee, tea, water in the room. Stunning nature around the hotel and a beautiful area in the backyard.

Room was clean, not too far from the airport or city center. Don't trust the cab company they have at the front desk tho. Was overcharged and taken for a much longer ride than necessary while being lectured on politics by the driver. Stick to Uber instead!
