"A wonderful experience "

Originally due to go abroad, the COVID situation left us with a week spare, and no plans. We decided to spend our week off visiting different places with our 22 month old daughter - places such as Peppa pig world and Drayton manor. This was a last minute decision to book the Premier Inn as we were going to drive up and back on the same day - but the prices were so good we decided to stay a night either side of our day trip. Usually I would look straight at Hilton/ Hyatt type hotel but we’d spent a lot on these hotels during the week and the Premier Inn looked great value - and it surpassed all expectations. On arrival at the hotel we were greeted by an extremely friendly and helpful man - I didn’t get his name, but if management are reading this - he was working the afternoon of Friday 4 September. The check in process was fast and efficient and we were given a room on the ground floor. The hotel seemed quiet - which was nice given the current climate. The room was spotlessly clean, fairly spacious, well decorated and comfortable. The air con/heater unit was only blowing cold air so it was a little on the cold side. My wife asked at reception if it could be fixed and the same, previously mentioned member of staff, came to the room and resolved the issue so we could heat the room. He then returned with extra pillows we requested. The bar and restaurant area were inviting and the prices fair. Again, the member of staff serving here was lovely and friendly. The beds are comfortable, rooms quiet despite the airport being close, and the bath was big enough to relax in. We had stayed at the Novotel in Southampton a few days earlier, where we had an executive room that cost three times as much as the premier inn - but I wish we’d chosen a premier inn there as the Novotel was atrocious. I’d never return. On the Saturday evening after our day out we ate in the restaurant and had a wonderful meal. Service was great, staff again were superb, and the food was a good quality and good price. The next morning we checked out and decided to have breakfast at the hotel. The buffet system has obviously been replaced but the quality was better than I ever remember. Delicious food and a very reasonable price. Overall we were extremely happy with our stay. I couldn’t find a bad word to say about any of it. For the money we paid we didn’t expect perfection but our expectations were massively exceeded. The manager of this Premier Inn should know how wonderful all of their staff are, from front desk down to the cleaners who were polite and friendly when we passed them in the corridors. I genuinely didn’t expect it to be anywhere near as good as it was and I would highly recommend this hotel if you need somewhere to stay around Birmingham. We will definitely return when we have another trip up that way.

"Brilliant staff. Great hotel"

We booked this as an overnight hotel before an early flight from Birmingham Airport the next day. We just mentioned in conversation that it was our wedding anniversary when eating in the hotel restaurant. At the end of our meal they brought my husband a lovely chocolate brownie and ice cream and, remembering I was a vegan, a big glass of pinot grigot. What a kind and thoughtful gesture. It really made our overnight stay (and anniversary) so special. The staff are so friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend.

"Staff not impressed by late check in"

We arrived around 1 am after a late flight and staff were not impressed at our late arrival. It took about 20 minutes for them to find us on the system and issue us a room. Our room was exactly what you expect, we left around 7am to find we had a car park charge of £10, we had been expecting to pay for car park charging but this was excessive for the length of time we were parked, we queried this and the staff were so rude about it, we paid and quickly left. Not the normal friendly staff and welcome you expect from a premier inn, they should take tips from the Rubery site which we stayed in for 5 nights and the staff couldn't have been nicer.

"Impressed"

I stayed overnight before a flight from Birmingham Airport. Because of Covid the carpark for quite empty but the stay went so smoothly. Decent sized family room with aircon and I paid £4.99 or a breakfast box and got 2 free for the children. In fact the boxes were a useful evening snack for them too as there was plenty in them. We paid £10 for overnight parking which after paying only £29 for the room seemed very reasonable. Covid measures in place with screens and sanitiser. Would definitely use again.

"Amazing team"

Just wanted to say thank you to all the staff that looked after us while we were staying at the hotel for a training course held near by. The whole team we’re fantastic and are a credit to Premier Inn. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always professional in the difficult times we are going through at the moment. It was difficult being away from my family for the week with everything that is going on but the team made us feel welcome and made it a bit easier for us.

Hotel description So close to the action you're practically backstage, the Premier Inn Birmingham NEC/Airport puts you in prime position. You'll be in the heart of the Midlands, close to the NEC (15-20 min walk) and Genting Arena (5 min drive or 20-30 min walk) and - with Birmingham International Airport and train station just minutes away by taxi - we're well connected wherever you're going to or coming from. Whether you're visiting the UK's largest exhibition centre, taking a trip from the airport or exploring the sights of Birmingham, nip back to enjoy a great night's rest with our tasty restaurant, spacious rooms and extra-comfy beds.
