Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Ibis Budget Birmingham Airport Terminal Building - Nec from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Ibis Budget Birmingham Airport is frequently praised for its excellent location right outside the departure terminal, making it convenient for early flights. Guests often appreciate the availability of complimentary tea and coffee in a dedicated room, and many find the on-site meals to be nice and fairly priced; however, some guests have found the rooms to be very basic, lacking a kettle. Comfortable mattresses and effective air conditioning are commonly mentioned benefits, contributing to a good night's sleep, even with the hotel's proximity to the airport.

short walktea-making facilitiestasty mealapple core

The hotel is literally a short walk to the departures lounge, around two minutes! this was super helpful as i had an early flight. the room also offered tea-making facilities. A nice touch for a quick cuppa before heading out. the restaurant being right there was also good. I got a tasty meal after a long travel day.

I noticed an apple core on the window sill in my room. It was a bit of a surprise. i wish the room had been fully checked before my arrival.

Convenient and Clean Airport Hotel

easy check-insuper clean roomshort walksound insulation

Check-in was quick and simple. The room was spotlessly clean and provided all necessities for a short stay. The hotel is also conveniently located. Free tea and coffee were available on the first floor, a welcome touch.

There was some noise overnight coming from the car park at the rear. Better sound insulation on the windows would reduce this.

Location

9/10

The hotel's location offers quick access to the terminal, about a 3-minute walk, which makes early morning flights less stressful. Its proximity to transportation makes it a convenient option for travelers needing to be close to the airport for connecting flights.

Service

8/10

The staff were very friendly and helpful, addressing all inquiries promptly. The early opening time of the restaurant, at 5 pm, allowed for a relaxed dinner before an early departure. The food was delivered quickly by friendly staff.

The location was acceptable. It did what it needed to do.

The tv remote was missing from the room, so i couldn't even pretend to watch something. getting it would have meant another trip downstairs. I was too tired for that nonsense.

The hotel's location is close to the airport. Complimentary tea and coffee are available in a quiet room. I found a great variety of tea options, a nice touch (appreciated those choices).

The provided bedding was incomplete for the number of guests booked. I had to request the correct bedding, including a duvet. It was a bit of an inconvenience.
