ibis budget Birmingham Centre
"If you’re relying on laundry that it SAYS they have, they don’t have any. They tell you to walk down the street. And they did not care that they say they have laundry facilities on Expedia. Also the elevator was broken when we were there and there was a huge line to go up."

"Fantastic spacious comfortable room which was very clean. The maintenance in the bathroom was a little poor, it was clean but felt tired. Great location with easy parking in the Q park next to hotel."

"Fantastic service and very helpful staff but if you want a good night's sleep make sure your room is away from the front of the hotel. Smokers and other guests meet outside from early morning and are not quiet."
