ibis Birmingham Centre Irving Street

Definitely recommended if you like American Motel like settings. Great if you don't want to keep having to walk past the main desk every time you come in or out. All rooms are basically outside, with stairs taking you to the few different levels. The room itself was clean and modernish. I woke up late and missed the checkout time, so I paid for extra to compensate.

Good value, friendly staff and clean, comfortable rooms. Breakfast was very nice. Only issue with it was the strange layout, in American motel style. Meant all the doors to the rooms went straight to outside the hotel, so lots of noise, and didn't feel very secure (although doors etc locked fine).

Stayed here twice but my second visit was a bit interesting because the bath was full of stain. I was gonna suggest to clean it using bleach to get rid of the stain but I couldn't bother. The room itself was clean, fresh, spacious, and tidy. The noise upstairs kept me awake though. Overall I will definitely going to stay here again.

As they say don't judge a book by it's cover. Small cozy modern inside. Reception/ bar again cozy friendly and warm as you enter. Overall good price central to town short walk. So if you don't want to stay in a big overwhelming hotel this little hotel is good enough. Clean

For the money this was a great choice. We had a blocked drain in our room but, despite the hotel being really busy, we were moved within 5 minutes - great response. White bed linen was spotless, as was room, which was perfectly comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend.

Second time staying here, both times we have been to a gig down the road and the location of the hotel is perfect! Stayed in an IBIS hotel the night previously and had a not so great experience. However we were pleasantly surprised with our stay at this hotel. Good: Cheap, perfect location and nice secure parking. The check in process was easy and quick! I love the style of the hotel, reminds me of an American Motel. The room itself was very clean, tidy and the bathroom was spotless. The bed was large, a good size TV and a desk. The desk was perfect for doing my makeup or using the laptop. Surprisingly I had a quiet night's sleep too! We didn't have breakfast or food but the menu seemed like it had some nice stuff on offer. Liked the showerhead in the bathroom too! Bad: The outside and Inside of the hotel are a bit dated and not too pleasant to look at. I think it just all needs a jetwash/repaint.. inside of the hotel rooms the walls need a repaint or serious wipe down! Key was hard to use but maybe that was just us but it hardly worked and the door didn't appear to look completely shut once in the room. The noise was a bit of a problem up until around 12am but after that was quiet, I think closing the windows helped. Room smelt very strongly of perfume/air freshener but after a while it wore off and we could smell smoke slightly. I think a lot of guests smoke right outside the door causing smoke to come into the room, I think no smoking on the grounds needs to be a thing if not already. However, we love this hotel so much and will be back

The manager checked us in and she was very helpful and polite. Our twin room was at the back facing the road on the ground level, and it was pretty standard for an Ibis. Not the best we've stayed in, (the Bristol one for example is really modern!) but not the worst either. We had lots of storage space and space to get get ready, which is perfect for 2 girls trying to get ready at the same time. The only reason I marked it down was the terrible smell coming from the bathroom. We didn't complain as the manager did mention on arrival the hotel was full, and we knew there was nothing the would've been able to do for us. So we put the plugs in the sink and bath plug holes, sprayed a little perfume and kept the bathroom door closed, and that seemed to do the trick. It just smelt like stale water. I would stay here again as it was inexpensive, I think £36 per night. But perhaps I'd request I room on another floor.

On the positive the rooms are spacious and very clean and well presented. The bed was very comfortable . The rooms look like they are chalets which have been converted into rooms On the negative its not easy to spot. There is a budget ibis in the next street and its easy to get confused There was also a lot of noise from the traffic that goes by Also they charge for using the car park which was not made clear when I booked. However it is gated so felt that the car was securely parked Would use again. It's handy for Edgbaston cricket ground and the centre of Birmingham
