⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We stayed at the ibis Styles Birmingham Centre for one night and, considering we only paid £46.69, we were genuinely impressed.
The reception area was clean, spacious and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful. They showed us where we were on a map and pointed out nearby attractions, including directions to the Utilita Arena where we were attending an event.
A nice touch was the complimentary tea and coffee available in reception, along with water and juice in the dining area.
Our twin room was spacious and well equipped, with a wall-mounted TV, plenty of plug sockets and USB charging ports conveniently located near the beds. The beds were comfortable, and the room included two bath towels and two hand towels.
The view wasn't anything special, overlooking the side of the adjoining building, but for the price we paid it wasn't an issue. We weren't planning to spend much time in the room anyway.
The 12pm checkout gave us a relaxed morning, and although we didn't have breakfast, the dining area looked clean and well maintained. The on-site car park was another bonus, allowing parking until midnight on the day of checkout, giving us extra time to enjoy Birmingham without additional parking costs.
Overall, this isn't a luxury hotel, but it offers excellent value for money. Clean, comfortable, well located and reasonably priced – we'd happily stay here again.
