ibis Birmingham Centre Irving Street

Cheap central hotel close to Birmingham New Street & ideal if you're going to a gig at the O2 as it's just around the corner ! Room was clean & cosy. The bar is open 24 hrs per day,handy for pre & post gig drinks. The bar food is basic but hot & tasty ! Breakfast was great with a hot & cold buffet. Staff were friendly & hospitable. I would definitely stay here again !

Lovely chalets look recently refurbed . Just a couple of minutes walk to the O2 academy. Decent breakfast

Inadequate shower. Inadequate breakfast Adequate bed.

I has a welcoming check-in. This is an American-Motel style set-up with the doors to the room opening directly from an open-air passage-way. This can make it noisier and feel less secure than a traditional hotel. The shower was disappointing, limited hot water and low pressure. I have stayed on multiple occasions and unfortunately this is a reoccurring issue. The room is nice and has decent WiFi. The hotel is slightly more upmarket than the nearby Ibis Budget, but let down by the shower quality.

Stayed 1 night for a concert at the Academy & can’t fault it. Room was decent bigger than expected and very clean, everything worked! Only minor quibble is it can get pretty noisy but if you want a cheapish convenient hotel for a night you can’t really go wrong. Will definitely stay for next concert 👍
