ibis Styles Birmingham NEC and Airport in Solihull

Hotel close (15' walk) to the airport and the Birmingham fair (NEC 10' not even walking) Good service, clean and large room (123) Clean bathroom. Sufficient breakfast. I had a good lunch. Excellent beers. Friendly and helpful staff at the restaurant. For work, given the proximity to the fair, convenient hotel.

Excellent location, excellent value for money, simple rooms and essential amenities

We booked the hotel last minute as an alternative to airport parking. We decided, due to a very early flight, it would be easier on the kids to use the hotel. Unfortunately this meant booking 2 rooms however when we arrived they had allowed. A family room to have an extra bed in so we were accommodated in 1 room. Absolutely great. Sensible and common sense! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

Right near the NEC, clean with a good breakfast all you need in a budget hotel

Great location- close to Birmingham International Train Station and the NEC. It's about a 10 minute walk which us clearly marked. Restaurant and bar service was very good and the food was delicious.

As an independent travel agent my family and I were taking a long weekend away and chose to stay in the Ibis styles hotel. It was lovely with modern decor and we had a family room which the hotel were kind enough to upgrade us into a larger one with x2 double beds. The breakfast was beyond our expectation as the quality was very good for the usual buffet and continental. The staff were always willing to help and we didn’t have any issues during our stay, and would come back for more!

10 min walk to the BP Pulse Arena. Room was spotless and comfortable. Tracey in the restaurant was a ray of sunshine on the rainy morning, going around asking if everyone was OK and in need of anything. Vegan Sausages cooked to order and tidy coffee. Will definitely stay here again if going to a concert at the arena.

Surprisingly good. Good value for money.😉

Came for crufts, was clean, friendly staff. Did the job.

Very nice hotel. Lovely room. Staff super friendly.

I've stayed in cleaner rooms for the same price. I don't mind if the rooms are old, but I do expect the sheets to not have dirt spots/make up on them.

Carpet in the room was messy, bedsheets had discoloration. Everytime we went came back in our room after a day out the AC was set to 22 degrees celsius and you are unable to set it lower than 20, same thing happened in the middle of the night. During check-in an employee was complaining about the amount of people that were coming that day, not the nicest thing to hear on your arrival.

On arrival and the first evening we thought this hotel was OK to great. Check in quick, room OK, food and staff in the bar/restaurant good. This opinion quickly changed. The skirting boards had a good layer of dust on them in the room, minimal hanging space, no drawers and less tv choice than our basic freeview at home. Despite us being the only 2 at breakfast at times, there were tables waiting to be cleared and the 2 members of staff were only interested in gossiping, usually sat in the rear room out of sight.. The counter was covered in crumbs, dropped jam and never once wiped in the nearly 2 hours we took over a leisurely breakfast. At most there were 10 guest in at a time including a family whose 2 children of approximately 9 and 10 were allowed to play chase/tag around the restaurant - totally unchecked by either parents or staff (when they deigned to appear)-not very safe when people are carrying around hot food and drinks, and not conduicive to breakfast. Nowhere is it made clear about full menu food times and we were disappointed with the very limited menu available up to 5pm - no use when the event we are attending is 6pm in the nec. Also not helpful when room qr codes give you a much wider menu with cheaper prices for the remaining same dishes and staff excuse is the menu has been changed and not updated online. Compared to other ibis styles we've stayed at, this place is a total let down, room and staffwise, with clear management and communication issues.

A lovely hotel but the restaurant and toilets weren't great. They need more staff on to clear tables, clean floors and check the toilets.

Checking in was quick. Room was nice, clean and warm. Not as spacious as I had hoped, but good enough for one night's stay. The highlight was the shower, which was warm, powerful and the provided shower gel was lovely. The check-in staff were nice, but the bar staff were very warm and welcoming. Ordered some food and it good, but with other restaurants only a 20 minute walk away, it might be worth visiting them.

OK hotel for the price, but it‘s dirty. The hallway carpets have stains all over, and the room I was in could have used a deep clean: Stained curtains, carpets, coffee spilled onto a wall, detached body wash bottle in the shower, …

Rooms clean and fresh. As its winter we had to have the heating on full, which worked well. Comfortable bed and nice size room. Bar too expensive, but they have a captured audience as there is no where else to go when you stay here. We used it as part of a leisure time bus trip to Birmingham to watch strictly come dancing, so wasn't our choice. Breakfast was include, help yourself buffet style, plenty of choice,but not hot enough as these places tend to be. Nice coffee.

Stayed at the NEC Ibis Styles while exhibiting at The Running Show, and it was great! The rooms were comfortable and well-kept. Special shoutout to Raveen and Hubert at the bar/restaurant – their service was exceptional and made our stay even better. Highly recommend!

Quiet, clean, hearty breakfast, I highly recommend

Tracey was amazing and very helpful

We are currently staying here ahead of our flight tomorrow, we have come down to dinner and the staff as so friendly and truly can’t do enough for you. Tracey has been wonderful, engaging with our little girl and all round so friendly, she’s a credit to the organisation!

Excellence service Tracey & Raveen was very helpful Compliments to the cook my salmon & mash was beautiful. Would be a little better if you had more of a vegan pudding option 🙂

Tracey was our breakfast host and when I tell you she made our family feel so welcomed and blessed . She paid attention to our needs and smiled with us and made sure we were set for breakfast ! Definitely a place I’d come back to because of her .

Excellent breakfast service from Tracey. Good breakfast options

Well located for NEC, Birmingham International Airport and BI Train station. Good facilities with comfortable rooms, gym, well stocked bar and good choice of food. I have tried most of the menu and have rarely been disappointed. Excellent, friendly helpful staff which is the main reason that I keep going back.

A few minutes walk from Birmingham International station and you arrive at this small but perfectly formed hotel. Friendly reception staff, comfy bed, good breakfast selection. And close to Birmingham NEC and Resorts World Arena/BP Pulse Live. What's not to like!

Good rooms and a great breakfast thanks to Tracey and Ella!!

Stayed before we flew out via Birmingham.. excellent location, and a simple well priced model with car parking.

Came here for a business meeting, rooms warm, clean and well equipped. Didn't eat in the hotel as ate out. Breakfast was filling.

Easy self check in online, helpful front desk staff, well located for the NEC centre. Plenty of parking (although you do have to pay). Pull out sofa not the comfiest of beds but did for the night.

Second time I’ve stopped at this hotel staff are lovely rooms are brilliant. Only downside when I say this time? There wasn’t much food in the restaurant. They had a lot of stuff out of stock which was a bit disappointing so I had to order a takeaway. Definitely will stop here again.

Our stay has been amazing. I feel I got lucky with our room location as we had alot of cases this time round for comic con. Great location for going to the nec. Tracey has made us feel welcome everytime we come down to the restaurant she always made sure we were okay.

Pleasant stay. Bar staff member Iona was extremely helpful and accommodating and went out of her way to help.

Just arrived for the first time at this hotel. We normally stay at the Crowne Plaza. And we would like to say congratulations Ibis for having such amazing staff working for you. Well done guys!

It's alright, not bad. Breakfast was pretty good. They had an (announced) power cut from 11pm to 1am because some 'essential works' needed to be done. They didn't tell anyone about it until that evening though (my 2nd night staying there), which annoyed the hell out of me. Especially as they refused any kind of compensation.

Jadana served us at the bar on a really busy night and was really efficient and polite despite how busy the restaurant and bar was. Thank you

My third time staying at the Ibis, Jadana served me both nights at the bar. Thank you!

I stayed for two nights whilst visiting the NEC. Its a 15-20 minute walk through the NEC to get to Hall 20, it would be closer for hall 1. Mostly inside walk. The hotel itself has onsite parking but it's cheaper to park at the train station and walk across. The Ibis Styles is more upmarket than the nearby Ibis budget. The room was spacious and modern with good amenities. It was clean throughout and I'm fussy!! The hotel was full and I overheard someone asking for another pillow and they were told there wasn't any! You only get 1 each. I ate in the restaurant one evening, it was basic, you ordered your food at the small bar. The food was nice though. I'd happily stay again.

Was very happy to spend 4 nights, the staff is very nice and helpful

Tracey was fabulous, KTRHA have very much enjoyed our stay here.

Tracey and Jazz were fantastic , great customer service always happy ,

Tracey and Jazz looked after us amazingly in the restaurant for breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble, super friendly and welcoming and kept the entire place spotless at all times. Would come again just for their service alone and I'm a fussy customer! Thanks ladies.

Honestly one of the best hotels I have stayed at for work. On Day 1 of 6, Helen could not have been more helpful, she checked me in early and made sure my car parking was sorted out The restaurant staff were truly spectacular, we were a tricky bunch (all had room allowances for work) and they helped out fully. The rooms were comfortable, and the house keeping team were so amenable to our requests On day 5 of 6 I had a massive migraine and so text the helpline number, the team could not have been more helpful ensuring I was adequately hydrated and in my opinion went above and beyond. The one negative was the beside lights only came on when the big light was on, but in the grand scheme of things this was a tiny issue. I would rate this hotel 9.5/10, well done to all, but special thanks to Helen who had a smile and a kind word every day I ran into her

Amazing customer service from Paulina, we messed up with our hotel and parking and she helped us massively! Thanks so much!

Lovely hotel, friendly staff. Room was spacious and very clean. Breakfast was amazing. Fabulous choice, spotless and nothing was too much trouble for the staff, they worked non-stop, especially Tracey who made the experience the best start to our holiday. Would highly recommend the hotel and the breakfast!

Nice place, rooms where a bit small

Stayed here over night before our flight. Had a lovely evening meal , breakfast was really nice , hot and a lot of choice . Staff where really friendly and helpful, especially the breakfast staff , Tracey she’s was very friendly and helpful.

Great location near Birmingham Airport, value for money and friendly staff Tracey at breakfast was wonderful, great customer service. The extra bed/sofa bed in the room is very bad and can feel the bed springs. The mattress needs changing to a new one

Ideal overnight location for an early morning flight. Friendly, helpful welcome at reception and very comfortable room.

Wow never stay here before at the ibis styles when for breakfast in the restaurant the staff are excellent the lady who looked after us was a lady called Tracey you are a credit to the company can't do enough for you.i will be defo staying here again thanks Dawn & stewart

Decent hotel, good service. No shops around but is very close to the NEC. Drinks are VERY expensive though.

Staff were friendly upon check-in. Two key cards provided. Loved the convenience of location to Birmingham NEC - it really is only five minutes walk, however once you are in (entrance via stairs, near the train station), be aware it could be 10-15 minutes extra walk to where your event is being held. NEC is so much bigger than I thought!! Paying for parking at the hotel is a bit of a shame (should be included in the price), but was similar in price to the other NEC car parks (£15 per day). Room was well decorated and clean - including an iron and ironing board as standard. The air con didn't seem to make any difference during the night though, so it was quite warm and stuffy (stayed in August). When we kept the windows open during the day, the room cooled down, but it smelt of aviation fuel, which wasn't great and I guess was due to the hotel's close proximity to the airport. This didn't affect our stay. Food was okay. Breakfast and dinner was as we expected for the type of hotel. My son and I loved the free table football!! Overall a pretty good stay and value for money.

Family stayed one night great value for money not far from airport , just make sure you don’t forget drop off is timed 15 mins I was told or a fine could be in post

This was a perfect stop over on way home having been on a flight into Birmingham Airport. The rooms were ready and were immaculately clean. Shower gel and conditioner provided. The breakfast was superb and Tracey even arranged for poached eggs as not on the buffet. How I had missed my full English and this was a good cure for my craving - Bacon, sausage, mushrooms, hash browns, beans, coffee and not forgetting my two poached eggs. So if you have a flight into Birmingham and need a stop over over or a pre-stay you won’t go wrong with the Inis Styles.

Had a decent stay here on the night before an early morning flight from Birmingham Airport. Hotel was clean and we had a really warm and friendly welcome. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. They were a little dated and could have done with a bit of TLC. But, we got a great deal and managed to get two rooms for less than the price of one at most hotels! As somewhere just to put your head down for a few hours before an early start at the airport, we would be more than happy to stay here again. It's maybe a 10 minute walk maximum to the departure lounge. It was also a very quiet hotel considering where it's located. Didn't hear any aircraft noise, and also, we didn't hear any noise from other guests.

Room very average. Sofa bed for the children terrible. No continental breakfast. Hotel is very tired.

Great location for a late flight arrival to Birmingham airport. Parking was £15 extra which wasn’t specified upon booking. Breakfast was included however with a good timescale to use for that and a wide selection on offer. Tracey was especially helpful offering for fried or poached eggs to be cooked to order as well as organising some takeaway cups for coffee.

Breakfast to die for, and bright, clean rooms. Thanks to Tracey for her friendly service at breakfast time. Gluten free options were well provided-for, too.

Super pleasant stay, staff can’t do enough for you! Tracey at breakfast is so lovely, gives kids lots of time and attention. She gave the kids an activity book, pencils and a chocolate bar each which was so nice! Breakfast was lovely, rooms are pleasant. Ended up with free parking too due to a technical error, was no one’s fault but was a really lovely gesture and was not expecting it! Would absolutely stay here again!

The hotel is very nice and only a two minute walk from the NEC. The rooms are clean and lovely. Only complaint is the food which was served for breakfast, which was subpar for the price we paid for the room

Chef Narinder created some delicious vegan options for lunch as well as options for meat eaters. The cauliflower wraps and roast veg skewers were fabulous and enjoyed by non meat and eaters alike. Thank you

Staff were great and very friendly. Room was functional (although air con was not working). Food at the restaurant was very average, and the hotel struggled with volume of people ordering food. I was told on 2 occasions it would be an hour wait for food.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by Helen who looked after us so well for the whole of the weekend. The food in the bar was very nice and reasonably priced on the evening. The breakfast was also good too. Tracey really was a great help at breakfast time, especially one morning when we were in a hurry to get away and she helped us to get what we needed. We look forward very much to staying again in the future!

Special thanks to Tracey for making our breakfast experience lovely, she couldn’t do enough for us

Nice hotel. We had family room it was a decent size. Breakfast was lovely, Tracey who was serving was really friendly and helpful.

Had breakfast served by Tracey who made us feel very welcome. Good range of food and drinks. Also used the gym which was clean and easy to access. Would come back again.

Great family room, excellent breakfast, Tracey was especially friendly and helpful, would stay again

Dinner was lovely and very fast. The service in all aspects was great. At breakfast was great and there was a lovely woman called Tracey who was so helpful and sweet! All staff were great, room was clean but the room needed a little TLC. Perfect for one night though and so handy to the airport.

I've stayed at this hotel several times for work and never disappoints, clean and comfortable rooms, good breakfast, and staff are always helpful and friendly, especially Helen on reception,

Tracey from breakfast was extremely friendly and helpful. She made us feel like nothing was a problem. Would definitely stay again

Fantastic, so close to the airport just a short 5 minutes walk and the beds are comftable. If you like a good English breakfast it’s a good place to go.

The service is excellent with very friendly and polite staff. Tracey was so lovely at breakfast too. I enjoyed my stay overall!

Very well maintained and clean hotel. Perfect location for NEC and Airport Staff very attentive

Went for a work day with colleagues and was ok. Meeting rooms are abit dated and lunch was average. Just make sure you go to the right Ibis as there are 2 hotels within 3 minute drive of each other. Was ok.

Great staff good food good place to stay 👍🏻

Helpful and friendly staff, rooms clean and tidy, would definitely stay again.

Basic hotel but great location for the airport and NEC - decent price for it too.

Great hotel and facilities. The food was really tasty and great portions. The customer service was great, particularly Tracey who was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely look to stay again.

Perfect stay, rooms were very comfortable, had a very good relaxing stay. Loved the restaurant as well. Good fresh breakfast. Also very helpful staff

Tracey in the restaurant was great, couldn't do enough for us and the kids!

Great staff, and a check-in where my disability was recognised and catered for. Food not too bad, BUT: The thing about sticky toffee pudding is that it is meant to be sticky, with toffee sauce. The sponge, that is. A cube of dry sponge with some small 'artful' streaks of toffee sauce on the plate is not STP.

Great first interaction with front of house Helen 😁

Unfortunately the air conditioning in the room was not working on a hot day and windows were unable to be fully opened. Small fan was provided, didn't shift much air. Very disappointing considering room was good size.

Nice hotel, good location, comfortable room. Only downside was bar was meant to be open till late but was closed. Lovely breakfast, all you could want. Tracey was very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome.

Great hotel. Rooms nice and clean. Reception staff exceptional. Really great. Bar service amazing and reasonably priced menu with good choice. Parking very cheap around the airport. I think its the cheapest in area within such close proximity to airport. Will definitely be back.
