the title says it all if i had to go back to birmingham then i would much prefer to stay at etap or ibis at a fraction of the price and brand new. the reception manager was the rudest ive ever come across if she didnt enjoy her job leave and stop bringing the hotel down as for everyone else... more

My partner and I stayed here on a Saturday before an early morning flight the next day and were quite impressed with our treatment. We arrived at around 1.30pm, half an hour before ususal check-in was due to commence, however, the gentleman on reception called up to see if our room was ready. Seconds later he decided to upgrade us... more

The hotel is clean and functional and from that perspective its useful for one night if you're using the airport. I used it to go to an event at the NEC. The carparking is not clealy marked and don't make the same mistake as me and park at what looks like the hotel carpark and turns out to be the... more

I'm normally quite a fan of Novotel but this location could have changed all that...

Having stayed here a few times over almost 20 years, I was pleased to find that this Novotel is now fully refurbished, making it much more welcoming, and that it features the improved food menu that Novotel has been rolling out across its chain. This was handy since I didn't arrive until 1030pm, but found could still get some pretty... more

We booked the Novotel Birmingham Airport because we had an early flight and didn't want any hassle. Well, it is a perfect location for the airport. Out of the front door, 50 metres and you are in Terminal 1 with a few minutes walk to Terminal 2. The hotel is stylish and the standard rooms excellent in size and comfort.... more

I stayed at this hotel for Crufts at the NEC and it was so handy. The monorail opposite the hotel took me straight to the NEC for no charge and it was just as easy getting back at the end of the day. The hotel was clean and ok, the room decor could be updated, but hey - they let... more
