Great location, very quiet rooms. We were situated right next to the lift but didn’t hear anything all night. Breakfast is good, it can get busy.

Comfy bed and pillows.

Take your own hairdryer, the one is the room isn’t very good.

And allow plenty of time for the lifts, they can be a bit slow.

Very well located hotel with good amenities and standard of rooms. The only downside was how difficult it is to get good quality sleep either of the pillows provided. Might seam petty but it’s important to have comfort to aid a good night’s sleep. I would however recommend this hotel and location

Nicely refurbed and quiet (given where it is located). Curtains needed attention in 306 as could not close them fully as damaged. Air con certainly needed attention as it was set to 19 and it was not 19 in that room (more like 26) and the temperature could not be adjusted downwards and on such a hot night.
But stay very convenient and pleasant, would stay again and good location for bars/restaurants etc

I had a very enjoyable stay and was happy with the overall experience. The breakfast was excellent, with a good variety of fresh and tasty options to start the day. My room was clean, tidy, and well maintained, which made it comfortable and relaxing. The shower had great water pressure and the temperature was perfect, making it easy to unwind after a long day. I also appreciated that the air conditioning was already working before I entered the room, so it was cool and comfortable from the moment I arrived. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. Their excellent service made me feel welcome throughout my stay. Overall, everything met my expectations, from the cleanliness and comfort to the quality of the breakfast and the attentive service. I would happily stay here again and would recommend this hotel to others looking for a pleasant and comfortable experience.

The staffs were so kind and helpful, esp their Manager Edu. Our bathroom sink wasn’t draining well & he tried to fix it, but really needs an expert. Room was clean & decent size. The breakfast buffet has a lot of choices, drinks & desserts as well. I’ll recommend this hotel as it’s a walking distance too to the city centre.

We arrived late Friday the booking was really easy, the staff were very professional. We went to are room and found it very comfy and clean. We stayed for two nights. The breakfast was excellent the food was plenty and constantly being replenished and was hot. The staff at the breakfast area were very good and helpful. We found the prices at the bar not cheap but the staff were very good serving the drinks. Would definitely book this hotel again, right in the centre not far from Birmingham New St station.

Beautifully maintained property, quite stunning from a distance.
The room and bathroom were excellent, spacious and with every facility.
The inclusive breakfast was brilliant value included within the room rate.
The receptionist when we arrived Sat evening was great and knew what he was doing.
They are obviously training new staff which did lead to long waits at the bar and the reception in the morning but all in all everyone was kind and helpful.
Highly recommend for a stay in Birmingham, with discounted overnight parking and a 12 min walk to the city centre.

Everything about the hotel was perfect, and I will definitely consider Holiday Inn Express in the future as a priority.

The hotel was spotless and the room was everything that you would want it to be. I particularly loved the blackout curtains, comfortable bed, pillows, and spacious bathroom. It was very quiet and I slept very well.

Reception were really helpful and interested in whether you were having a good stay

Breakfast was great and the woman who were attending the tables and the food was really nice and keen to make sure you were enjoying your breakfast.

The lift was our main complaint for the stay, it seemed to have a mind of its own and many people we shared the lift with said they'd been on it for longer than they needed to be as it never took them to where they wanted to go initially! Also, the door to enter the property didn't work and parking wasn't very well marked out but the people in the parking area were very helpful and polite and so were all the staff at the hotel, breakfast was delicious also, just don't recommend staying in a higher floor if you don't like waiting for almost 20minutes to get a lift that isn't already full with people!

My first stay at this hotel and I was really happy with it.
Lovely welcome at reception when I arrived, room was clean, quiet and spacious. Breakfast was excellent with a huge choice and whilst it was busy the food was regularly ’topped up’ and there were plenty of spaces to sit.
The situation was good too as it was only a short walk from New Street Station and the canals were only round the corner and well worth visiting. Utilita Stadium 10 minute walk away and plenty of other places to visit nearby as well. Would definitely stay there again Thank you!

After getting to our room on the 16th floor which took some time as only 2 lifts were working we found there was very little toilet paper.
We returned to the bar and asked at reception for loo roll to be supplied and the reception chap went to pass it to me. I explained we were going to the bar and could he take it up to our room.
On our return to our room still no loo roll.
Breakfast was very nice but it took so long to get there re some lifts out of use.

For the price which compares favourably with a premier inn - the holiday inn express in Birmingham city centre proved a nice surprise and excellent value - all you can eat breakfast, complementary hot chocolate, coffee, tea throughout day and night, the bar was open until 1am, helpful staff. Modern clean rooms. 5mins walk into the city centre. Will probably book again when visiting Birmingham.

The rooms was very nice although we couldn’t request a double and were allocated a twin room. It served its purpose and the location was great for our trip to the Utilita. On arrival we were told it was a twin room not a double as requested and as an apology the receptionist gave us a card for a complimentary free drink at the bar. However when we tried to use the voucher we were still charged by the barman who didn’t seem to understand. He took the card and still charged us

The staff were extremely helpful. I can't remember there names but my glasses broke when I was there and I can't see without my glasses I needed a temporary fix to get me home. I spoke to Reception to ask for a bit of sellotape or glue and she called the maintenance guy who patched then up til I got home.

I thanked them when checking out and Manager was a lovely lady who showed us a easier route to sealife as my mum has difficulties in walking.
It was a lovely hotel, good location and we definitely return soon.

Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Birmingham recently and, on balance, it was a decent stay with a few things worth flagging for fellow travellers.
The location is the real selling point. It is very convenient if you are arriving by train or attending events at the International Convention Centre, both within easy walking distance. If location is your priority, this hotel delivers.
The room itself was clean and met the minimum standards you would expect from the brand. Everything you need is there, nothing more, nothing less. The shower was clean too. However, one of the tiles in the bathroom was wobbly, which feels like a bit of a hazard and something worth addressing sooner rather than later.
The most disappointing part of the stay was breakfast. The buffet selection was limited, very basic, and not particularly appealing. If breakfast matters to you, I would suggest factoring in a nearby café instead.
The real highlight, though, was the staff. Every interaction was genuinely pleasant, and they were helpful, friendly, and professional throughout. Good service makes a real difference, and that side of the experience was excellent.

I am extremely disappointed with this stay and don't feel it met the basic expectations I paid for.
To begin with, the room I was allocated was not the room I booked via Hotels.com. I specifically paid for a double room and was instead given a twin. This is not a minor issue — it is a failure to provide what was purchased. The twin setup itself was completely unsuitable. The beds were very small singles, and at 6ft 3 with a larger build, they were totally inadequate. I had an exceptionally uncomfortable night as a result.
The condition of the room only made matters worse. The shower drain was clearly blocked, causing water to build up quickly and flood the bathroom floor. I then had to spend approximately 30 minutes dealing with the water and drying the floor myself — something no guest should ever be expected to do.
Additionally, the air conditioning was substandard and ineffective. The room remained far too warm throughout the night, making it extremely difficult to rest. Between the unsuitable bed, the heat, and the room's overall poor condition, I got very little sleep.
I travel extensively for work across Europe and stay in hotels every week, and I can say without hesitation that this was one of the worst hotel experiences I have had in years. The room did not match what was booked, basic maintenance issues were not addressed, and the overall standard fell significantly below what we expected from a Holiday

Had a fantastic stay in Birmingham at the Holiday inn express. We were visiting as a family of 3 to go to Warwick Castle, Sea Life, cadburys world and a few meals out in the city centre.

Anyways the Hotel was fantastic, massive shout out to Elsa (on the bar) Shadara (so sorry if I’ve misspelt your name) and Uma at breakfast.
These 3 are complete superstars. From great service upstairs at the bar reception really nice with my little girl, and the same at breakfast.

Will come back again due to the great service of these 3 epic ladies! Thanks again!

And great value for money if you want breakfast too. I missed it last time as I headed out and forgot to grab something but had it before and its as fully loaded as you'd need.

All the staff were excellent- hard-working, helpful and cheerful. We attended a concert at Symphony Hall so the hotel was ideally placed. Our room was clean, spacious with a walk-in shower. Breakfast was self serve with loads of choice although no one seemed to figure out how the pancake machine worked. We had a very good stay. Our only criticism is the lack of signage on the hotel exterior which made it quite difficult to locate.
