The building is not too bad, however, the room is very old and no amenities provided at all. There is no air conditioning, no refrigerator provided. Albeit a desk fan provided because of summer season, again, very disappointing that it’s broken and we need to ask for a replacement.
When we enter the room and use the toilet for first time, we found a sticky like mucus on the toilet seat that I need to clean and sanitise it before we can use !

Excellent, Very Clean, Budget Friendly

I stayed in this hotel during my holidays in Birmingham. The staff was really friendly and helped us for a smooth check in and explained everything clearly. The hotel room and bathroom was very clean. Hotel had a very nice free breakfast with many options and the breakfast area was cleaned often too. Best part was the free parking offered by the hotel. Very happy with my stay!

Much better than first impression

A bit put off when we arrived, hotel is very close to the motorway and the area is not the most attractive. But it’s a different matter when you step inside! Friendly welcome, clean, bright public areas and, best of all, large, comfortable room with absolutely no noise from adjacent roads. Great to have aircon so there is no need to have window open. We had breakfast in the morning, small selection of hot and cold food, which was fine but would have liked to be able to have toast rather than just bread and butter.
Would definitely stay here again when visiting friends in the area.

Very happy stay. Very quiet, comfortable and clean.
Loved the eco things like soap and shampoo dispensers and jams in paper cups.

Little suggestions:-
Would have been nice if the marmalade had been in paper cups too, and the milk in the room had been powdered rather than in plastic pots. Even though I hung up my towel, it still got changed.

Could not be bothered moving a second time , bed comfy and breakfast very good, a walk to the restraunt next door bit not a night but would have been better if part of hotel.

Pretty good overall

Pretty standard for a Holiday Inn Express. One of the older hotels so didnt have the new rooms but it was comfortable nonetheless and I slept very well. Despite being next to the M6 and under the airport flight path, the room was well enough insulated that you didnt hear any of this and the black out curtains were a great help too when wanted a bit of a lie in. Not much around the hotel but you're not far from a few retail parks and easy access to the M6

Pillows and sheets were lovely, bed a bit hard and saggy. The whole place is bare bones, I guess that's what HIExpress is. No restaurant, breakfast ok, eggs taste of cardboard (powdered eggs). They do have soya milk, teas and coffees. Noisy air conditioner at 6am, I am not sure if the air is actually just recycled around the room (eeuuww) or if it is FRESH. The windows do not open at all ;) !! The aircon is above the bed, so you either suffocate or get a draft all night.

Excellent staff and very clean hotel given the price paid. Not ideal if you don't have car as it cost 15 to 19 pounds each way to go into the city or airport, but I need that on booking the hotel. Food and bar available next door to hotel, so that was very convenient.

Very enjoyable stay, basic and simple but just what we needed. Nice breakfast each morning. Lovely staff. We booked this hotel by mistake as we were attending an exhibition in the NEC in Marston Green Birmingham. But we got a taxi into the NEC each day and it suited us perfectly. I would highly recommend The Holiday Inn Castle Bromwich. Great value for a couple of nights stay.

Great hotel for quick overnight stay

Easy, clean and comfortable enough for an overnight stay in Birmingham. Room was adequate and the overall convenience was great. The breakfast here was excellent with great options, nicely prepared and presented and no issues at all.

I will be back for sure and feel sure this will be a steady good option.

Great job and thanks to the friendly staff at the Holiday Inn.

Nice hotel and very quiet

I was staying in the hotel prior to a conference at the NEC. The staff were all very friendly and the room was extremely clean. I am not a very heavy sleeper and forgot my ear plugs but I did not need to worry as there was no noise at all. I had a great nights sleep and the beds were very comfy too.

Lovely overnight stay

Hotel was warm and welcoming the reception staff were friendly, knowledgable and helpful. The room was on the third floor overlooking the car park. It was big and the bed was comfortable the room temperature was just right and there was a fan provided to use if it was too hot. We ate our evening meal in the restaurant over the road which was very enjoyable. After a good nights sleep we ate breakfast in the holiday inn restaurant. It was lovely with plenty of choice of hot items and also continental items were available too. You could eat as much as you liked and we would definitely recommend starting your day with the breakfast there. All in all our stay was very good value for money and about a 20 minute car drive from the airport which was where we wanted to be. We would return to stay here again.

Close to motorway

This hotel is in a noisy location being right by the M6 so having the window open is not an option but fan is provided which I had to use. Other guests on this occasion being inconsiderate having in depth chat at 11.15 pm outside my room did not help me have a good night by not the hotels fault

Very good except for additional sofa bed

Very nice hotel. Very clean. Straight forward book in. Breakfast nice and hot. Only downside was the mattress on the sofa bed.... full of springs. Needed to put 3 duvets on it for it to feel comfortable for the children.

Never again

Booked a double, received a twin. Allegedly hotel was full (clearly was not) so refused to change my room. Telephone not connected. Told reception & manager but nothing done. Desk lamp wasn't working, making it difficult for me to work. Worst night of sleep ever. Mattress was very poor and I haven't slept in a single bed for over 30 years. Will not be using this hotel again.

Ideal for our needs, however as we're used to a king size bed found the bed small. The weather was really warm and it would have been nice to have some outdoor seating and umberella to enjoy a cold drink from the bar. We called at the pib next door for these facilities, but not really to our liking a wadted opportunity??

A very nice hotel, close to a main road but but very little traffic noise. Staff were excellent, room very clean & breakfast was very good. It would have been nice not to pay £20 for our dog.

Clean, peaceful overnight stay. Adequate breakfast

We had a room.on the 3rd floor with a sofa bed for our 11 year old daughter. She said that bed was uncomfortable and it was very noisy through the night when she moved about.

The room was warm and quiet. There was a slight smell of drains sadly. It was very clean. The shower was good and powerful.

There is a carvery pub a few meters from the front door.
