The Spotlight on ibis Styles Birmingham Airport NEC

A Smart Stay Just Steps from the NEC

Modern, affordable, and perfectly placed for music lovers, ibis Styles Birmingham Airport NEC offers a sleek and comfy base just a 10-minute walk from the NEC and half a mile from Birmingham International Rail Station and the airport. With contemporary rooms, on-site dining, and easy access to major transport links, this hotel makes your concert trip stress-free and stylish.

Each room features wood flooring, a glass-tiled bathroom with a power shower, LCD TV, work station, and free high-speed internet. The on-site Hub lounge bar and restaurant creates a relaxed vibe whether you're gearing up for a show or winding down after one.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything — and this hotel delivers. Walk to the NEC in under 10 minutes, or hop from Birmingham International Station to city-centre venues in just a few stops. With late 3 pm check-in and a generous 12 pm check-out, there's no stress if your show runs late. Despite being close to the airport, guests report surprisingly quiet rooms, perfect for unwinding post-gig. Plus, there’s private parking and quick M42 access if you’re road-tripping to the venue.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to NEC festivals or arena shows
  • Solo travelers catching a long-awaited tour
  • Couples making a weekend of it near Birmingham
  • Fans looking for quiet recovery after a big night
  • Budget-conscious music fans wanting solid value near the action

Food and Drink Options

The Hub lounge bar and restaurant offers food and drink well into the evening, ideal for late arrivals after a gig. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll find tea and coffee in-room and staff happy to help with local food options. Breakfast’s available in the morning (sleep in – you’ve got until noon to check out). Plus, you're just minutes from eateries in the NEC complex or airport terminal.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things low-key, the NEC and nearby Resorts World offer bars, lounges, and live music events. Whether you're catching a pre-show drink or dancing into the night, you're never far from the action. Back at the hotel, the Hub bar is a great spot to unwind with a pint or a nightcap.

What People Say

Guests love the location and value, especially for events at the NEC. Reviews mention the clean, modern rooms, helpful staff, and comfy beds. Many highlight the ease of getting to and from concerts without needing taxis or long walks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that while the hotel is close to the airport, outside noise can occasionally be heard — though most say it’s not disruptive. Others mention that the on-site dining is convenient but may lack variety for longer stays.

The Bottom Line

For music fans attending an NEC show or nearby gig, ibis Styles Birmingham Airport NEC offers unbeatable convenience, comfort, and value — all within walking distance of the venue.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Kate Tue, 29 April 2025

On the whole it was...

Liked: Very proximity to where my colleagues and I were working.
Disliked: Small friendly hotel, any problems were dealt with immediately. The two older members of staff in the restaurant , Tracy and Ann were brilliant, so helpful when ordering food especially as I have gluten and dairy issues. They alway ensured that all my dietary requirements were adhered to: Both these ladies seemed to do all the hard work . Sadly the younger restaurant staff had very little understanding of dietary requirements.
