ibis Styles Birmingham NEC and Airport 3 stars

Stayed here for one night for work, and for that purpose I'd say it's ok. Nothing special in any way, so would not recommend staying here if on holiday/vacation. Breakfast selection pretty good. Rooms good size. Small gym that looked ok. Like I say, all just ok

With reference to an above review, I would like to add some comments. I was the manager of a party that included the poor earlier review, that was uploaded by one of our team. Some of us were staying at the hotel and I opted to bring 37 of my team for a meal at the restaurant. I paid the whole bill for everyone. We did turn up unannounced with nearly 40 people and the staff members managed to take our total order. Was the food gourmet? No but it isn't a Michelin restaurant. Did the food take a long time to come? Yes, but again, I stress, 37 orders with no notice. Did they serve other tables before our food came out? Yes, but I don't expect them to make a party of 2 to wait for them to do 37 meals first. In a previous life, I was heavily involved in the hospitality industry. I think the staff handled it very professionally, and in my opinion, with the best will in the, very pleasantly. I don't know if another restaurant locally that would have entertained us as this short notice. So to sum up, thank you and well done.

Walking distance to the nec. Clean and comfy facilities. Nice breakfast and very small gym to use too

Ling check in as there were lots of guests but not ab issue. Room was fine.

Hotel is OK but not great. Room was small but adequate for 1, shower was good and location is not bad being a 3 - 5 minute walk from the NEC. Unfortunately, the hotel is right next to a busy road and has not got great sound insulation so traffic noise was an issue, and there was a noisy door in the corridor which banged loudly every time a guest went to or from their room. Breakfast was OK but there were no fried eggs or mushrooms. Coffee was pretty good though.
