Ibis Styles Birmingham Oldbury

Stayed for 1 night with my son who was competing at a sports tournament the following day locally, so more of a convenience trip/stay. Car park was a little limited though I did manage to park. The appearance from outside was nice and the welcome from the gentleman at the desk was friendly and pleasant, though don't expect there to be a Reception Desk (it was a table and a guy with a laptop)! But got our room key quickly which was good. The bar area looked quite good and general appearance of corridors and the room were OK and the place was clean. I just found there were some little things like pain peeling from some walls and skirting boards, extension leads being used instead of there being sufficient sockets, the TV aerial was a bit dodgy and signal went in and out, stuff like that. The air cooling unit was also not the best (they made a point of stating it was not an air conditioning unit) which made for an uncomfortable sleep (as it was a very hot night). Breakfast in the morning was nice and check-out staff were again pleasant and friendly. Overall, it was an OK stay for what we needed. I have a voucher which meant I paid about £45 for the room that night, which was about right. Would I have paid the full £90 something pounds? Probably not.

Do not book this hotel I did and when I turned up was told it had been sold and i should have been emailed. It was late and was told to go and find another hotel The staff were vile and were not interested in helping me I hope Ibis remove their franchise

I use this hotel regularly - it is reasonable and the staff are nice and friendly, rooms are good as is the facility

Very convenient local shops. Staff friendly

The staff were amazing . Always keen to help … they couldn’t do enough for us . Breakfast was delicious as was the salmon salmon . The only slight downsize is there was an un pleasant smell in the bathroom .. probably drains ? But it didnt spoil my stay . Will definitely stay again .

Very clean. Friendly staff

Maybe in was unlucky with my room but I found the room to be lacking anything to make this a “fabulous“ rating. The decor was patched up and tired, the floor was dirty in places and the ‘worn’ designer look was more through neglect than intentional. The bathroom was really the main disappointment with broken tiles, mould and broken fittings. My room overlooked the car park of the JD gym and McDonalds. The noise of the loud exhaust enthusiasts at 4am wasn’t appreciated - no fault of the staff who were very helpful and professional.

rooms were very small

Hotel is a bit dated now, location wise OK for Birmingham short car journey in, it's the 3rd time of staying here over the years and it is definitely showing it's age now, Service wise the staff are great always on hand and always have a smile on their face, that part of the hotel is 10 out of 10. This time though came away itching like crazy after the 2 night stay the rooms do feel very tired and rough around the edges
