Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest draws is the central location — you can walk to many of Birmingham’s top venues in under 10 minutes, meaning no late-night transport hassles. The hotel is also quiet enough for a solid night’s sleep post-gig, thanks to thoughtful soundproofing and blackout blinds. With 24-hour front desk service and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s well-suited for late arrivals or spontaneous weekend plans.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a central crash pad between shows and nightlife
• Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage or chasing that bucket-list tour
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend city break
• Fans who want peace and quiet after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort

Food and Drink Options

The bright Express Café and Bar serves a daily buffet breakfast — ideal for late risers after a gig. While the hotel doesn’t offer full 24/7 dining, you can grab light meals, snacks, and drinks throughout the day and evening. Plus, being in the city centre means there are plenty of walkable restaurants and late-night food spots nearby.

Nightlife Options

This hotel puts you within easy reach of Broad Street’s bars and clubs, or if you prefer to keep it low-key, the hotel bar is a relaxed spot for a nightcap. Whether you're headed to a packed arena or a small indie stage, there’s nightlife in every direction.

What People Say

Guests praise the hotel for its spotless rooms, friendly staff, and especially its convenient location for both shopping and entertainment. Many reviewers mention how easy it is to get to and from gigs, and how surprisingly quiet the rooms are for such a central location.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t have full room service or an on-site restaurant for big meals, which some guests note. Also, while the breakfast is appreciated, it’s more functional than fancy — think quick fuel, not brunch vibes.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Birmingham for a concert, Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - City Centre offers the perfect mix of location, comfort, and value for a stress-free music getaway.
