FAQs about hotels in Birmingham









Top-Class Shopping, Culture and Sport

The UK's 2nd largest city, Birmingham is one of its top cultural centres. Well-known for the M6 Spaghetti Junction interchange, it is a surprisingly green city with lots of open spaces.

Most city centre hotels in Birmingham are near New Street Station. To the east is the futuristic architecture of the new Bull Ring shopping centre, and just behind is Digbeth Coach Station. To the west is Victoria Square, home of the town hall and a German Christmas Market.

The Mailbox is one of the newest additions to the Birmingham shopping scene, and behind it is one of the canals converging on the Gas Street Basin. By one canal are the ICC (International Convention Centre) and the NIA (National Indoor Arena), both venues that host major events.

Just opposite is Brindleyplace, a canal-front complex of restaurants, bars and hotels near Broad Street – the main nightlife area. It is popular with students at nearby Birmingham University, whose clock tower is modelled on the one in Siena. Just south in Bournville is Cadbury World, and there are several hotels on Hagley Road to the north, which are available on Booking.com.

The city is also known for sports – Aston Villa and Birmingham City are the top football clubs, while Edgbaston Cricket Ground hosts international matches. Other Birmingham attractions include Hockley’s Jewellery Quarter and the NEC arena by Birmingham International Airport.

    Fair walk from Hotel to Arena and a bit confusing but it was a nice day luckily and happy lots of other people around late at night and canals lit up so felt safer. Lots of beggers unfortunately that made it a not so pleasant walk.

    People are so friendly and the busy centre is vibrant and varied. The canals make a lovely walking route through the centre making everything easily accessible. We ate at Jimmy Spice, an all you can eat buffet, but the food was of much higher quality than I have experienced at other similar restaurants. We both had a great time!

    Birmingham is an easy to navigate city.

    Birmingham is an easy to navigate city. Very clean and friendly. I went for a weekend event but arrived a day early and visited the Birmingham museum and gallery with my 10 year old girls which they enjoyed the culture. We also stayed an extra day to check out the think tank science museum which kept them fully engaged all day as it was so hands on. The cafe was great too with different budget options for meals. I hadn't realised Birmingham had so many places to visit nearby. We'll definitely be back for longer with a planned agenda to explore more in the area.

    The room was very clean and tidy, bathroom huge and also very clean. Shower was good. Beds comfortable but the pillows looked like they were 100 years old. They were as flat as a pancake, definitely need updating. The lifts were out of order which was a pain to carry all our luggage up to the 3rd floor, no offer of help from the staff unfortunately. Also, this hotel is cashless. So be prepared to have to put everything on your card. You cant charge drinks or snacks to your room either, even though the snack vending machine/fridge in reception states ‘charge to room’ on the side of it. Breakfast was good, lots of choice and quite tasty. I was surprised that breakfast was served until 12.00 on weekends and bank holidays, this was extremely helpful since we had been out to a rave in Birmingham until 3am so definitely could not have got up super early for breakfast! I also liked that you can check out up to 12pm. Most places want to boot you out by 10am, so that was really handy not having to rush in them morning. I would come back again if I were to go to another event in Birmingham.

    I’ll be straight up I booked this hotel by mistake by hitting the wrong hotel tag and then without realising I’d made a mistake paid up front because it was cheaper. It wasn’t until after the confirmation came through that I realised my mistake and that I’d booked a hotel behind Snow Hill and I wouldn’t get my moneyback if I tried to change it because I hadn’t made a flexible booking. I then spent the next few months thinking the hotel was at the back end of nowhere and because of the price being so cheap it would be awful. Well, how wrong could you get. The hotel was literally a few minutes from the cathedral and to everywhere you needed to get. It took us around 12 to 15 minutes to be sat having a pint in Brindley square from the hotel, about 12 minutes walking to the beautiful St Pauls square. Ideal for the NIA and all the museums and Art galleries. We opted for the 18th floor and got some fab views across Birmingham and all the other normal facilities you get in a good hotel, including an iron, ironing boad and a hairdryer. The toiletries too were DOVe and not some cheap shampoo and soap. The room was excellent and had air con , Free Wi Fi, massive shower, comfy bed and HD television. The staff were fantastic, friendly and attentive and nothing seemed too much to ask. And to top it all breakfast came included and not just your croissant and fruit juice but sausages, eggs, bacon beans and hash browns, toast and muffins and drinks. I can’t remember the last time we booked in anywhere that was nice and decent where breakfast was included. We came out wondering why we’d never tried Holiday Express Inns before, we will definitely be going back. It was excellent.

Definitely recommend for those who are looking for a quiet place to stay whilst still being in the middle of the city. Everything is within walking distance too, tram is only a 5 minute walk away and it takes you straight into the city centre. Staff at reception were very welcoming and helpful. Check in was super quick and smooth. Thank you to everyone at Aparthotel Birmingham! I will be coming back again for sure.

    The property is an 11 minute or so walk from Birmingham New Street station. It's not the nicest part of Brum but is easily accessible and you get what you pay for. It's a short walk to the Gay Village. Tbh am not sure how safe I'd feel walking at night from the hotel to the rest of the city, but that's what taxis are for. The room was clean but basic. The bed was very comfy. The shower was powerful and always had hot water.
