The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, NEC, and Genting Arena, making it perfect for travelers with flights or event attendance. The rooms are comfortable, though basic, with flexible bedding arrangements. The service is efficient, with polite staff, but some issues at the bar. Dining options are typical buffet fare at a slightly higher price. Overall, a convenient choice for a short stay near the airport.

The hotel is incredibly quiet, making it one of the quietest places I've stayed at. The rooms, while small and claustrophobic, give off a cozy vibe, though I suspect some were converted from storage cupboards or walk-in wardrobes, possibly to offer budget options. The service can be a bit challenging due to various accents, so it's advisable to travel light. The location is ideal for accessing the airport, especially for early flights, and being close to NEC. However, the dining experience could have been better as they struggled to keep up with demand, leading to shortages of plates and glasses. The hotel is strategically located between IBIS Budget and IBIS Hotel entrances, making it convenient for travel.

The hotel is perfect for those who need a place to rest after a busy day or before catching an early flight. The rooms, although small, serve their purpose well despite the lack of a chair and the issue with the heating. The service, while generally helpful, had a moment of miscommunication. The location is ideal for easy access to Birmingham central or the NEC. The dining experience, although plain, was convenient for attending events. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.

The hotel falls on the budget side among the better ibis hotels. The room was spotless, pristinely new, and perfectly designed, reminiscent of cruise ship cabins. While small, it offers a great experience. The service was a bit frantic at 12noon but efficient, with reasonably priced good food available. The location, only a two-minute walk from the airport entrance, is extremely quiet at night. The dining options start early, ideal for early flights, though the quality may vary. The facilities are suitable for an overnight stay.

The hotel offers a fantastic 'pod' bathroom, making it one of the best hotel showers I've experienced in a long time. However, the room size was a bit small for the price.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small and basic, were clean and functional, but we faced some challenges cooling the room with the AC. The service was disappointing overall, with unhelpful staff and a lackluster approach. On the positive side, the location was convenient for airport access and had necessary facilities nearby, but the chaotic ambiance was a downside. Dining options were limited, and there were additional charges for simple requests, which was not ideal.
