Hotel berhampiran Edgbaston Village, Birmingham

The budget IBIS is exactly that. But it’s functional and clean and somewhere to crash out for an evening. This would have had an excellent were it not for the comfort cooling system not working and the toilet fixtures falling off the wall (both reported to reception desk).

the service was great , however the room itself was very small leaving no room to be able to move around. the bathroom door also had a huge hole cut out as a handle which we thought was odd. also 1 pillow which wasn’t very thick left it so that me and my friend didn’t get much sleep and woke up with pain in our necks . can’t fault the service though , the staff at the reception were lovely

Had gone here for a night. The room I was given was nice and spacious but the air on wouldn't work. So I was moved to another room which was smaller, felt like I was downgraded to a smaller room. If only they could give me the same spacious room that I booked with a working air con would have been great.

Friendly staff with clean rooms.The kitchenette was good together with a fridge and a washing machine. It took 15 minutes walk to the Birmingham New Street Train Station with up and downs along the road. However the hotel was located near the canal and the Central library. Restaurants and bars were easily found close to the hotel. Recommended when the budget is your concern.

In all honesty the price of the hotel was not worth it. I paid £185 for my room for me and my partner but the room was shockingly under budget. The room was big but that was all. The bed was basically a double bed, The room stank and smelt like someone had been using the toilet before we got in there, you could hear everyone outside the room and everyone walking and talking around outside the hotel. I would never recommend anyone paying more than £80 for the big room.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean but had dust in certain parts of the lighting and table. The bathroom didn’t smell to good when we got there. There wasn’t much soap to wash your hands. Unfortunately at night time the people next door were loud and at times the door was shutting it would wake you up. The tv remote wasn’t working properly.

There is so much to unpack here when it comes to Selina Birmingham. Never again am I staying at this hellhole of a hotel. For a name like Selina, the hotel sure is nightmarish to stay at. It's shameful that the hotel shares the same name with my non-biological/cosplay partner. There is no breakfast but at least, the bedding, the pillows and the duvet are comfy (but most likely due to the fact that I’m tired) and the wi-fi is decent. Unfortunately, this is where the compliments stop, especially when the dorm rooms are so dark, you have to turn on the flashlight on your phone in order to see. Not to mention, there is no television in the room I was staying in. To make matters worse, the dorm room is cold, coupled with no heating. I honestly don't mind the cold most of the time but the room temperature is too cold for my liking. Speaking of the ground floor, the Korean receptionist told me that I'm not allowed to eat my food at a table at the cafe and told me to climb the stairs all the way to the third floor in order to eat my food. It isn't fair, considering the receptionist with the short, dark hair tends to allow me to eat my food at a table at the cafe during the very early hours of the morning. I eventually lost my patience and yelled at the Korean receptionist. It's rare when I lose my patience. I threatened in a growly voice with, ”I suggest you fill the pot noodle to the top with water unless you want a scathing, negative review to be blasted on the radio for everyone to hear?”. Finally, she got the memo. The rooms, bathrooms and toilets and facilities are unsanitary (for example, there are biscuit crumbs all over the bed sheets. I didn't know until I got out of bed), the entire hotel itself is not accessibility-friendly as if the lack of a lift and the staff not being accommodating towards disabled people such as myself isn’t of any indication, the kitchen and the kitchen equipment on the third floor are dirty, there is no hot water in some of the bathrooms within the dorm rooms, the bathrooms and the dorm rooms are shared (therefore, there is no privacy), the lights keep turning themselves off if you’re idle (I’m more used to turning on and off the lights on my own accord), you need to pay £10 for a padlock which is complicated for disabled people and the list goes on. The toilets, bathrooms, kitchen etc are just as dirty as Badea Faulkner and Olive Allison Brown from the Avanzar House in Middleton, Manchester not cleaning up after themselves. And don’t get me started on the staff being problematic. They aren’t very useful to the point where I had to shout at them due to their language barriers and them not listening to me, let alone understanding me. This is troubling for autistic people like me. Never in all my years have I encountered such frustrating hotel staff members. Compared to the other hotels I've stayed at in the past, the hotel staff in these hotels were never infuriating. If a lack of staff doesn’t tell you the appalling

Location is excellent with both Moor Street railway station and New Street railway station nearby. It's near to the malls where there is a M&S supermarket. There is also a lots of choice for food. Room itself has a small kitchen area which I didn't use. I had a comfortable stay and location is central enough to get around easily.

I needed somewhere to stay within walking distance of a venue in digbeth and of course on a tight budget. This hotel was a great price and the location I needed. Staff were really friendly and check-in/check out was very easy, reception is manned while the pub is open and a coded door gives access once the pub is shut. The bed I had was a bit uncomfortable I think it probably needs to be replaced but this is not a problem as most hotels I stay in the bed is a sprung mattress which is well passed it's sell by date. The other bed in the twin room was fine. Room and bathroom were very clean and the shower was powerful and hot. There's a little kettle with tea and coffee provided. A small convenience store is very close for snacks etc as the resturant was not open on the Friday we arrived or the Saturday but there is was a cooked breakfast on the Sunday morning which I didn't need to pre-book just turn up and order. I will definitely stay here again if the event I attended at the weekend goes ahead again in 2025.

Staff were lovely. Room was clean and comfortable. We had a room facing the M6, so there was quite a lot of noise from the road, which isn't ideal but to be expected based on the location. If I stay again, when I'm in the area, I will probably request a room on the other side of the hotel. The room was missing it's phone, so when I needed to call down to reception I had to call the Holiday Inn customer service line off my mobile, which was a pain but other than that no complaints.
