ibis Birmingham Bordesley Circus

The bathroom door would not shut properly, the room was too hot, even tho the heating didn’t appear to be on. Couldn’t open the window because of traffic noise. Location ideal for getting to the stadium but actually located on a roundabout! I chose to have cooked breakfast and the Saturday one was fine. Not so with the Sunday! Only veggie options were toast,hash browns and tomatoes. Asked for veggie sausages which eventually arrived half an hour later!! In the interim baked beans arrived and although bubbling on the edges, hadn’t been warmed through, so were more or less cold!

The extensive road works around the hotel made it a painful process for commuting around.

Looks ok to the eye BUT, the bed and pillows are sooo hard! In so much pain with back and shoulders hurting. Worst bed I've ever slept in. Breakfast was a shambles, buffet style, but food cold and been sat out for ages. No hot drink machine working. Finally a small in room kettle was plugged in.

Everything clean and fresh. Good big shower. Ideal for an overnighter. Tasty, help yourself buffet breakfast, with plenty of choice to suit most people. Has parking and easy access to buses 17 and 60 if you need to go into town.

It was one of the worst places I have ever stayed at! There was a wedding part staying in the hotel that played loud music all evening until late and started a photo shoot in the corridor outside our room from 7 in the morning. When I went downstairs to complain I was told the manager would only be in after we left and really they were not going to do anything about the noise. Then as we were having breakfast the wedding party came down and continued making so much noise people were looking and the hotel staff just looked and did nothing. I feel cheated and robbed, it wasn’t cheap to stay there and I couldn’t wait to leave. I feel I’m entitled to a refund! Appalling

Easy to find and park. 20 minute walk to city centre. A lot of traffic all night.

Convenient location for St Andrews.
