Located just a short walk from Birmingham Airport, the NEC, and LG Arena, this hotel is all about smart savings and simple style without compromising on location.

With 24-hour reception and free high-speed WiFi throughout, it's a practical choice for concert-goers who need flexibility and reliable connectivity. Compact rooms include flat-screen TVs, private modern bathrooms, and work desks, making it ideal for short stays before or after a gig.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a top pick for fans attending shows at the NEC or LG Arena—no need for taxis or late-night shuttles, since you can walk to the venue. You’ll also appreciate the 24-hour reception and snack bar for post-concert cravings. Rooms are simple but surprisingly quiet given the airport location, and the hotel’s proximity to major transport links makes getting back home or into Birmingham city center a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a room and save
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime tour
  • Couples wanting a fuss-free weekend stay
  • Fans needing a quiet spot to crash post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who value location over luxury

Food and Drink Options

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s unbeatable walkability to the NEC and airport, calling it “super convenient” and “ideal for early flights or late-night events.” Reviews often mention the clean rooms, friendly staff, and surprisingly quiet atmosphere given the location. Many say it’s “great value for money” and a “perfect one-night stop for a concert.”

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side, so don’t expect lots of space to spread out. Some guests note that parking can be pricey since it’s managed by a separate company. And while there’s no on-site restaurant, the nearby airport terminal makes up for it with food options.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a gig at the NEC or LG Arena, ibis budget Birmingham International Airport - NEC delivers unbeatable location and value for a no-fuss, music-filled night.

Close to the airport but...

Liked: It’s very close to the airport
Disliked: The room was incredibly small, we stayed at the same hotel last year and paid the same money for a much better room so a little disappointed this time around. The beds really weren’t that comfortable. You can hear EVERYONE on the floor.
