The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Birmingham City

Modern Comfort in the Heart of Birmingham


Holiday Inn Birmingham City is a modern, stylish hotel set right in the center of Birmingham, making it a top pick for travelers who want to stay close to the action. Just a 5-minute walk from Birmingham New Street Station and the Bullring shopping center, this hotel places you in the buzz of the city with easy access to restaurants, bars, and live music venues. The rooms are sleek and comfortable with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and 24-hour room service to keep you going no matter what time your concert ends.

Why Concert-goers love it


Location is everything, and this hotel delivers—it’s within walking distance of some of Birmingham’s biggest venues, and being just steps from New Street Station makes late-night transport simple. Rooms are well soundproofed, so you can still get a good night’s sleep after a high-energy gig. With 24-hour room service and a flexible 3 PM check-in, you can arrive, recharge, and recover on your schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends heading to a show together
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples making a weekend of music and city vibes
  • Fans who want a quiet, comfy place to chill post-show
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers looking for value and convenience

Food and Drink Options


The on-site restaurant, The Lobby on Hill Street, offers a wide variety of food and drinks to suit all tastes. Expect late-night dining options and 24/7 room service—perfect after a post-gig buzz. While breakfast isn’t served all day, the location means you’re never far from a café or eatery that is.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re surrounded by Birmingham’s vibrant nightlife. From cozy pubs to buzzing cocktail lounges and clubs, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to wherever the night takes you. The hotel bar is a relaxed spot to wind down with a local craft beer or a nightcap.

What People Say


Guests love the central location and the friendly, helpful staff. Many reviews highlight how easy it is to walk to venues, shops, and restaurants. Clean, quiet rooms and comfy beds also get frequent praise—especially important after a night on your feet.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that parts of the hotel feel a bit dated, and that the elevators can be slow during peak times. But most agree it’s a small price to pay for the location and value.

The Bottom Line


Holiday Inn Birmingham City is a clean, comfortable, and super-convenient base for anyone catching a concert in Birmingham.

Samantha L, London

I would go back again and stay. I prefer the Holiday Inn to most other hotels.

Liked: Nobody bothered us whilst there and the room was nice and the windows opened so it was really nice.
Disliked: The attitude of the head of cleaning - he was very rude upon leaving the hotel. He came into my room uninvited because he saw my boyfriend and his friend talking whilst I had the door open and the cleaner was tidying my room. When I asked why he was stood there staring at us, he had an attitude and said something about the welfare of the cleaner?

Toby, Nuneaton

Had a lovely stay at this hotel while visiting for a gig in the city. Nice large, clean room with a lovely clean bathroom and shower. As the check out was 12 it would have been nice to have had a lie in after a late night, but struggled due to poor double glazing and sound proofing from noisy main road. But generally a good stay.

Liked: Clean room; large bed; great location.
Disliked: Noisy room/bad double glazing.

Disappointing

Disliked: I recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately, my experience fell far below expectations.Upon arrival, the check-in process was very slow. The receptionist seemed overwhelmed, and it took quite some time to be seen and checked in. When I finally got to my room, I was shocked to find it in an unclean state – there was a dirty tissue left out, a ball of hair on the floor, and rubbish left on the table.I returned to reception to report this, and I was moved to another room, which was thankfully cleaner. However, the issues continued. The air conditioning/heating unit in the new room wasn’t working. I had ordered room service, which also took longer than expected to arrive. When the staff member brought my food, I asked if she could assist with the air con/heating unit. She attempted to help and said she would ask someone to come up – but no one ever did.Later, I called reception for assistance, and the person who answered was very rude. Without properly listening to my concern, she abruptly stated that “we’re not able to swap rooms.” I hadn’t asked for a room change – only for help with the air con/heating unit – but she was dismissive and unwilling to assist. At that point, I gave up and went to sleep.The following morning, I shared my disappointment with the staff at check-out. However, instead of an apology or any acknowledgment, I was met with a rude “Hope you have a better stay next time,” which felt dismissive and unsympathetic.Overall, I was extremely disappointed with both the room standards and the level of customer care throughout my stay. I hope you take this feedback seriously and take steps to improve your service for future guests.

Very very happy. Will 100%...

Liked: Absolutely fantastic. Came here for a few days in between flying. And the hotel was Absolutely brilliant. Very happy. Staff were very friendly and made me feel so welcome. My room was spacious/spotlessand comfortable. Was a great price last minute for so central. So convenient for shopping and a short walk to new street station. Huge bar and restaurant with plenty of charging points and looked great downstairs. One of the best holiday inns i think ive ever stayed in! Everything was brilliant and will 100% stay here again when in Birmingham. Thank you all :)
Disliked: Nothing !
