We had a long weekend in Birmingham and stayed on the sixth floor overlooking the back of the hotel. Very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast is the usual Holiday Inn Express standard, now with hot food, and despite the hotel appearing to be full was never too busy. Parking is extra but very secure, the only problem was the size of... More

Thank you for the feedback on your recent stay, I am delighted it was an enjoyable one. The hotel is perfectly located for any visit to Birmingham, as despite being in the city centre, the location just of the main street can be very quiet. I am glad the car parking was useful, and just in case you bring a... More

Stayed over for one night as we were eating at the college of food which is based opposite the hotel. Rooms are basic and do need a refurb, did request a quiet room and was allocated one facing the city centre, but saying that slept well enough until around 8.30, then unfortuately in the morning we were subject to one...

Nothing to complain about when it comes to cleaniness, but the furniture and decor definitely need urgent refurbishing. Also, don't expect too much of a view. Breakfast - terrible, the worst coffee I have ever drank in any hotel.

The hotel is in a great location for exploring the city centre. The underground carpark was very handy with a lift taking you straight to reception, there is a charge though of £10 per 24 hours. We received a friendly welcome on our arrival, the receptionist even gave us a map of the city and pointed out key places. Our... More

Friendly, helpful staff. Basic accommodation but clean, quiet, and excellent value for money. Continental breakfast fine - don't even think about sampling the hot cooked food - it looks terrible !

Stayed here one night on a business trip and can't fall the hotel. From the genuinely warm welcome from reception staff, comfortable room, central location and excellent price. The breakfast was not the greatest I have ever had and no bacon available! Would recommend the Shakespeare pub just around the corner. Really nice ambience, excellent range of beers including Sharp's... More

I spent 3 nights here on business and found it to be clean and comfortable with very helpful staff. The room was a good size, with a modern bathroom containing a good shower, rather than a shower over a bath. The room had an old fashioned TV without digital channels rather than the flat screen found in most corporate hotels... More

The room was great and cleaniness was great! Staff were smiley and helpful and the car park was in great location. Breakfast was the only bit that wasn't good! Sausages were disgusting and the rest pretty below par! For the price it was well worth it!
