"Had a mini break for my birthday weekend. Great service and amenities. Only thing I didnt like was that my room had an ejoining door and the other guest tried to knock/open twice...if you have those rooms they should ne for large occupancy guests."

Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - City Centre by IHG

"The hotel was fab . Uber cool lobby and bar. We visited years ago when it was hotel le tour and it’s just as fabulous as we remember it. Added bonus the bar was busy with Finland team supporters for the European athletics which is why we were there . Great night for the brits on the track . The female staff made me a cocktail not on the bar menu which was delicious . I also bumped into one of the legends from athletics . Perfect evening will be coming back ."
