This is an extremely handy hotel for travellers having to have early flights. It's literary 5 mins walk to Terminal 2 of Birmingham Airport. For the price you pay you cannot fault anything else. Ok so the window is a box but you still get decent light in (if you so wish) or else there a dark curtain to make... more

Even though I travel on an expense account, I chose the Etap over the adjacent Ibis and Novotel because I was too intrigued by it's GBP 35 pricetag. To be honest, the room is as sterile and featureless as that of the Travelodges it competes with, but there are a few touches that make it a much more humane experience.... more

We (me and my husband) stayed in hotel for 3 nights. It was excellent - location, clean room, stuff very helpfull. It was very quiet, it seemed as we were alone in the sixth floor. In the morning quests were leaving the hotel without any noise. Location is very good - train station near the airport, so one day we... more

Stayed for 1 night to attend an event at the NEC. Hotel was fully booked so higher rate of £45 v £38 p/n applied but still nothing compared to the hotels at both Birmingham and other major airports. Checked in early at 1pm and staff were fantastic giving a free token for hot drink whilst awaiting room being prepared. The... more

If youre catching an early flight from Birmingham International and need an overnight stay book at the Etap. Right beside departures, reasonably priced (cheapest at the airport), absolutely fantastic service (thank you Glenys) and a good standard restaurant next door at the much more expensive Nonotel. more

Stayed here for 2 nights with a 3 year old who found the bunk beds very exciting and wouldn't go to sleep. The top bunk is not suitable for young children so it was a bit of a nightmare trying to keep him off the ladder. If the ladder had been removable, life would have been much easier! This is... more

I stayed in this hotel while attending a course in Birmgham. The rooms although small are clean and have everything you need. The staff were extremely friendly and despite it being on the airport's grounds it was surprisingly quiet. The breakfast is great value, £2.95 for all you can eat croisants, toast, cereals, hot drinks and fruit juice. The only... more

This was my first time here and I had a meeting the next day nearby. Thing boutique hotel on budget prices. It was great value for money. The room was absolutely spotless and newly decorated. The wet room was fantastic. The staff were efficient and friendly. On the other hand, don't expect any frills. There were only two pillows and... more

Stayed here with husband and eight year old son on Thursday night as close to the NEC for The Gadget Show. Absolutely brilliant! Excellent location - just across the road from the Terminal buildings. Easy free SkyTrain ride from the Airport Terminal to the NEC and Rail Station - runs every 2 minutes. Bliss for a child who loves all... more
