We didn't use this stay. We realised we had inadvertently booked the wrong night. Upon trying to swap the night we were told no. No swap no refund no nothing. It was super hard to get through to the property, phone just rings constantly. We had to go via a third party who did try for us but to no avail. Our fault but no assistance from the property

Clean room, not the most modern rooms but given they run at a high occupancy they were in great condition. Bathroom clean, lots of towels and hand/ body soap, only gripe was the toilet paper holder was what you would see in a public toilet.
Staff - amazing, kiosks wouldn’t work upon arrival and checked everyone in swiftly.

I didn’t eat on site but it was so busy I strongly recommend if you are staying pre-book. Check out was smooth, quick and again so friendly!

Good hotel, was all we needed for our stay. The only thing is make sure you book for the restaurant in the morning otherwise you could have to wait for hours to get a table! We went in at half 6 to have a table and couldn't have one until 9.

Hotel well situated for NEC

Premier Inn have a wonderful advert with Lenny Henry sleeping in the middle of very noisy places - train station, wedding reception etc - and our stay felt like that. The staff were delightful. However, the entire stay was marred by a poorly built and designed hotel. The Premier is obviously purpose built but no attention has been paid in its design to sound insulation. The guests in the room above ours stomped around for an hour from 5 in the morning. I thought it had been converted into an office they walked around so continuously. Our room was near the rubbish and recycling bins and the delivery lorries which reversed in to make their deliveries. The window was double glazed but the frame had a ventilation space and all the noise from the outside came in.
We booked in for two nights but left after one.

Poor, try Accor hotel near airport

Will do our level best not to stay here again: Food is at best poor. my evening meal of pie and chips offered up chips hard enough to pierce a car tyre. The pie comprised pastry containing goo! Not sure what the meat was but there was zero texture to it. As for the room my son's 'put me up bed' was clearly knackered. He had a terrible night sleep, as we all did because every time he turned over this best squeaked for all it was worth. Clearly Premier skimped on build quality. The foot noise from the room above was awful creak, creak, creak and at times we could have joined the conversation of the occupants. We had a 1st floor room facing the entrance and late revellers didn't try to keep noise levels to a more appropriate level and the glazing was insufficient to address this problem.Breakfast was average

Convenient for NEC

It's a Premier Inn - they're all the same; useful but bland. It was comfortable and clean, and had the facilities required.

However, the promise that the 30 minutes per day free wi-fi can be used in separate sessions, rather than all in one go, was a lie. I used it for 7 minutes in the morning then switched off wi-fi, came back in the evening and was told I had used up my free time.

Why say 'leave your towels on the rail if you want to re-use them'? We did not leave the towels in the bath, we left them hanging up, so they should not have been changed. Premier Inn claim to be conscious of the environment etc. and encouraging reduced use of water and power, but then ignore their own policy. The nice girl on reception I discussed this with couldn't seem to understand this.

The one evening meal we had was adequate, but the service was dreadfully slow, not enough staff or kitchen facilities for the large number of people I presume. The waiter knew nothing about the limited wine offered with the meal deal, and the menu wasn't much help either.

As usual with Premier Inn the hotel bedroom was first class, but the food really let it down. The meals were not fantastic, they were too expensive and the service was appalling both in the evening and at breakfast!!

I've had better experiences

Not enough car parking! - told by attendant to park precariously on a corner, which I was not going to do as very risky. Ended up having to sit around waiting for a space. The parking meters are mis-leading: clearly states that if you have a personalised number plate, to fill spaces with \"00\" which I did, but it wouldn't work on numerous occasions, only to be told by attendant unless you have 7 digits, maybe if the machine said that I wouldn't have wasted my time! Not having plug sockets near the side of the bed is infuriating, because a lot of people need to charge their phones, and also use them as alarms, ended up having to manoeuvre the bed to the other side of the room. I've had better experiences.

Good enough.

I booked this because it was near the airport so my expectations were met. Otherwise, the A/C was insufficient and I had to open a window. The overflow from the bar sat outside chatting (loudly!) under my window until 3am, when I had to wake up from my flight. The wi-fi didn't work, which made checking in for flights challenging. The hallways were the longest hallways I have seen on four continents.

Nice Hotel - Niggly issues

Stayed overnight here after going to the LG Arena for a Concert. Very nice hotel, Great Breakfast. Just a couple of niggling issues. Firstly room wasn't ready at 14:00 when we arrived, although it only took 20 minutes. Had a drink in the bar whilst we were waiting. Asked for a Large Dry white wine and was charged £6.60 a glass, even though cheaper alternatives where available. I do expect to pay more at a hotel but to give you a glass of the dearest wine on the menu without giving me a choice was a bit of a liberty. My other issue was the distance to the LG arena. Stayed here with the intention of walking to the NEC but realised when we got there you need to take taxi's as its probably a 20-30 minute walk all the way round the outside of the NEC site to get to the Arena. Apart from those little issues we would stay there again. Oh nearly forgot, the Little Owl Pub down the road, where the hotel staff suggested eating as the restaurant wasn't open, Was not very good at all. Won't go there again/

Comfortable hotel but a bit far from the LG Arena

I stayed here one night in May as I was going to a concert at the LG Arena. Whilst the hotel is fairly close to some of the NEC halls is a bit of a trek to the LG Arena. The hotel staff said it was a 20 min walk but it took me over half an hour and I walk at a fair pace. There are various other hotels that are nearer that I would choose in future.
Having said that the room was comfortable and quiet and I had a good night's sleep. I didn't try breakfast as I had to leave early. Not a bad hotel, just wasn't a convenient location for me.

Convenient location

We booked to stay here overnight as we were attending a concert at the LG Arena so this was a very convenient location. The room was very clean and comfortable, with aircon so that the temperature of the room was just as you wanted it. The bed was extremely comfortable and having a choice of firm or soft pillows is a nice touch. Breakfast was excellent there was plenty of choice and it's self-service so you can eat as much as you want. The reason I have only given a 4/5 for the overall rating is the £6 parking charge. When we booked online through Hotels.com it shows as free parking. In fact there is only 2 hours free parking for people attending meetings, not for guests staying at the hotel. This should be made a lot clearer.

Spoiled by restaurant situation

Stayed here twice over the period of a fortnight. First room bed was uncomfortable, second was much better. Second time Jodi on reception was fairly rude. Both times the restaurant situation was comical - it just isn't big enough for the hotel. You HAVE to book a table, otherwise you'll be waiting several hours. After a day working at the NEC, not what you need. Top tip is to book your table at reception as you leave in the morning.

Booked fairly last minute for Crufts visit - prices very high as hotel nearly full. Expected a noisy time being saturday night but had a really good nights sleep ahead of what was going to be a busy day.
Would stay again, hotel very clean and comfortable, and very quiet considering. No planes heard even though airport very very close. Breakfast excellent.
We did have noisy very early morning packers in the room above, so the only thing i would change would be to ask for a room on top floor.

Expedia should sort out their paperwork though, it says free parking and its not - its £6 a day which you pay at a machine at hotel entrance, it is free for first 2 hours only.

Excellent hotel for NEC

We have used this hotel many times for the NEC as once we park the car we can walk to all the halls. However this time the reception staff were not very professional and very rude. We arrived 30 minutes before we could book in so were advised to take a seat and the receptionist would advise us when our rooms were ready. However she promptly went home at 2.00pm without providing a hand over to her colleagues and left us sitting. When we approached the reception desk (now well after 2.00pm) and explained the problem one of the other receptionists was just interested in protecting her colleague rather than providing good customer service. Although another receptionist did finally apologise it left a bad taste in our mouths. I know this is a budget hotel but what ever happened to good customer service.

Useful information

Upon arrival reception staff x4 stood chatting saw myself and 2 children arrive ....carried on chatting whilst we stood there waiting . After a long journey this is not the reception you want ! Then took down our details and the car reg as parking had already been paid for within the booking . Got the details of this wrong a few times as not listening to what I was saying . Room and location not bad but not the best premier inn could do with a bathroom upgrade . At breakfast came down went to get a table to be told we had to pay first which we were not aware of . I have stayed at numerous premier inn's and we have always either been asked at check in if we wanted to book breakfast or we have paid on check out. I was advised by staff that policy has changed since January and I would need to go back up to my room to get payment before we could go through . I asked if I could pay on checking out but was told no. I think if policy has changed it would be good if reception staff could either ask on check in as a matter of routine .......maybe this should have been asked but staff clearly couldn't be bothered that night or a note could be put on the website so that people are aware of the change in procedure. Once we actually got into breakfast the standard was very good .

Very handy for the NEC, but eat early.

We stayed at this hotel as we were visiting a show at the NEC. Parking is plentiful and it's actually only about a 10 minutes walk from the NEC itself (15 mins to the main entrance).
Be careful using just the postcode in your Satnav, as it tries to take you through the internal NEC car parks!
Eating in the restaurant in the evening proved to be a bit of a problem as they don't appear to be able to cope with a lot of people in one go. Food was ok, but nothing to write home about.

Fantastic hotel.

We stayed in the Premier Inn for an event at the LG Arena. The hotel itself was brilliant, as was the restaurant. The location however is not quite as ideal as we thought. We got a taxi to the arena from the front of the hotel, which despite being a 5 minute drive away cost almost £10. We were also led to believe there was a simple way to walk back from the arena after the concert, but we could not find it and spent almost 30 minutes walking back in the dark and the rain along the grassy embankment next to the busy road. If you are staying here in order to see something at the LG/NEC I would recommend you book a taxi for the way back, it's not quite as easy as it seems! Other than that I would definitely stay here again!

A nice hotel

This is a nice hotel the room was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I was flying out of Birmingham airport for the states the next day and I didn't have a car. The only draw back with this place was the fact that there was no shuttle bus between it and the airport it is possible to walk to it if your luggage isn't heavy but I had to take a taxi as my luggage was heavy which cost 7 pounds. I never ate in the bar/resturant but by the looks of it, it looked good. The bed was comfortable but the room didn't have a phone which didn't bother me as I didn't need a phone in my room. I did need to phone my family in the UK but as I live in the states my mobile/cell phone doesn't work in the UK it would have been helpful if there was a pay phone either in the hotel lobby or nearby I had to walk 1 mile to the airport to phone my parents when I got to the hotel to let them know I got there and it was ok.

Nice Hotel close to the Nec where we attended show

Excellent facilities very pleased with the cleanliness of the hotel, very helpful staff. We attended the Christmas show at the Nec the hotel was very near to the facility. The food was very good.

Very enjoyable weekend would recommend the Premier Inn.

Close to the NEC

Only 2-3 mins drive from main NEC car parks. Reception staffed 24 hrs. So even arriving at midnight not an issue.

Fantastic service and surprisingly quiet

We really just needed somewhere to stay following a very full day at the Horse of The Year Show. We arrived about 11.30 at night. The people on reception were very helpful, the room was very clean, provided us with everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. We were also impressed with how quiet the hotel was both from the point of view of other guests and also outside traffic, etc. Would definitely stay again.

Great Hotel, not quite as convenient as they claim

First thing people should know is that a taxi from the airport costs £10.80 (so not as cheap as you may expect for what is stated as a short journey). ,the room was clean and comfortable, and the all you can eat breakfast is decent enough. The view from my room was over a muddy building site, but I wasn't staying there for the view!). Problems started when The next morning I decided to walk to the International Station via the NEC to get home, according to the Premier Inn website the walk to the NEC is 5 minutes, however when I tried to do this I found the route was blocked by a yellow barrier. When I went back to ask, the man helping people into taxis told me the only way was to climb over a fence at the end of a path! Although surprised, it was a small fence (although only because it was slightly broken). so I decided to walk, 5 minutes later I did get to the NEC, however it was then a further 15 minute walk to the station, including one set of steps where lift an escalators were out of order. Overall a decent hotel, but don't expect an easy walk to NEC or Airport.

Hotel close to the airport

I loved this hotel - very clean and good dining room. Tara - the young lady at the desk was super efficient. Only problem I had was that I couldn't have a wake up call because no phone in the room. Had a problem with the t.v. which meant I had to go downstairs and wait in line until I could see Tara.

Excellent hotel for the NEC

We arrived to a friendly smile, nothing to much trouble. Our room was very nice, spotless, fresh and cheerful and a very comfortable bed.
Evening meal excellent followed by a very scrumy breakfast and the staff were very attentive.
This was an great hotel for the NEC, we were only five minutes away, the hotel ordered us taxi's there and back at £5 ago, very reasonable, can't recommend it enough

Ideal for NEC

Comfortable and straight forward. Can walk to NEC in 10 minutes. Car park charge a bit confusing and the machines wouldn't work but the hotel staff we're excellent. Breakfast was top drawer and kids ate free which was a bonus.

More to pay on your stay

The hotel was ideally located next to the NEC, sadly the SAT NAV takes you to the nearby Holiday Inn something which is not mentioned in information. On arrival you will find you have to PAY and DISPLAY for parking. You will then have to pay extra for Wi Fi which sadly failed and remained unavailable for the evening and overnight. The meals in the restaurant are expensive as is breakfast if you want a light bite from the buffet breakfast its going to cost you 8.95, there is no can I just have juice and cereal here. Evening meal was cooler than it should have been and another guest complained next to us when they were charged the full price on a meal deal.The staff were helpful and apologetic regarding the internet although I wasn't offered a refund on the wi fi voucher. I was directed to a nearby ASDA and told how to cut through a fence to get quickly to the arena. All in all a good stay but the initial price will rise rapidly.

Very good service

Very clean room and staff very helpful. Car parking charge was rather expensive. Would be happy to stay there again. Walked to LG arena from hotel which took approx. 20-25 minutes - fine in daylight but wouldn't walk back again in the dark!
