Hotel berhampiran Playground - Moorend Avenue, Birmingham

Lovely hotel in a good location Great staff and homemade cookies Comfy bed Bath and shower I didn’t get to use the pool and sauna access this time but will be back to this hotel again

Good central location with basic amenities provided. Could use some additional cleanings within the room as dust spotted at various spots but good value for money nonetheless.

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

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

I stopped here one night with friends for my birthday. The hotel is easy to get to, and the location is excellent as it’s located on Broad Street, near Brindley Place which hosts a wide range of bars and pubs. So if you’re visiting Birmingham to have a drunken, night out or a special occasion then this hotel is perfect. There’s also parking on site behind the hotel which is very handy, unfortunately the car park isn’t discounted for guests stopping in the hotel. After waiting in a small queue, we attempted to check in at 14:30 (half hour earlier than check in ‘opens’) we were told the room wasn’t ready. Which wasn’t an issue as they had luggage storage available. We can back to check in at 16:00 and the queue was horrendous. I’ve never seen a queue as big as this to check in for a hotel before. We waited for 20 minutes until we checked in. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped. Although there were coffee cups left behind the curtains upon entry. The bathroom was very modern and had a walk in shower. The beds were unbelievably comfy and had plug sockets by the side of the bed which is a massive plus as not every hotel has this. Luckily, it was a quicker process checking out as you can just pop your keys in the ‘express checkout box’. Overall, a comfortable night stay in the heart of Birmingham, unfortunately the check in was horrific.

amazing!!!!! femo riswan hakim abu amazing people excellent service by the team. i would say this hotel is super and very large room provided. good warm in the room even though outside is very cold. good stay

A lovely friendly hotel. Big thanks to Faiyaz (reception/bar) and Jeff (chef) for looking after us. After a long tiring day this was just what we needed. Great customer service. Highly recommend. Clean room, comfy bed and good location. We will be back. Thank you.

Just like the pictures, checkin was easy and very informative, all the details was given on the day well in advance. Always had a number to be in contact with whenever I needed.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Hotel and facilities were very clean and mostly well kept. The bed was really noisy and creaky but not a major issue. Was slightly annoying to find you had to pay for parking as I didn't see this when booking the hotel but was fairly priced. Would stop again in the future.
