Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - City Centre by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Writing **Review of Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre** I had a pleasant stay at Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, and the location was convenient for exploring the city, with shops, restaurants and transport links nearby. The hotel offered a comfortable base for my visit, and overall, the experience was reasonable. However, the air conditioning was not working as expected, which affected the comfort of the room, particularly when trying to relax and get a good night's sleep. I would have appreciated a more effective cooling system to make the stay more comfortable. Overall, the hotel's location was a definite plus, but the air conditioning issue needs attention to improve the guest experience. I hope this can be addressed for future visitors."

A couple more things would have made our stay more comfortable. Such as more than one pillow each, a mirror in the room would be good also just a bin. There are no hair dryers or iron in the room. On whole a good hotel for a short stay."
