I stayed at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre this past weekend with my partner for one night. Overall, the hotel was fairly clean and check-in was straightforward and efficient, which we appreciated after a long day of travel. The location is also excellent—very central and convenient for exploring the city. However, we were disappointed by the lack of air-conditioning in the room. This was not communicated to us either during check-in or beforehand via email. A fan was offered, but this was not a sufficient substitute, and although there was mention of a complimentary bottle of water to help with the heat, this never arrived. Thankfully, the weather was not as hot as it has been recently, otherwise we would have found the room extremely uncomfortable. As it was, we just about managed, but had we known in advance, we would likely have booked elsewhere. In summary, the stay was adequate for one night and the location is great, but the lack of transparency around room amenities—particularly something as essential as air-conditioning—is a let-down and something to be aware of before booking.

I have stayed at this hotel many times, it is generally very good, but the air conditioning was not working, and apparently had not been for 2 weeks or so. This was not pointed out when checking in. A fan was supplied but the room was so hot. Nearly impossible to sleep

Very basic - everything you need , no frills. Staff polite but all looked a bit fed up. Bathroom was very dated . It feels secure, was quiet and a great central location. It was pricey for what you get , probably due to the location

If you want to sleep in a sauna, book here

8th floor was like a sauna, air con doesn't work and just provided with a portable fan. Bathroom has zero air ventilation was like showering in a steam room. 1 lift broken down so whole hotel working off 1 lift with no signs on any floor but the ground, so people pressing the button and then giving up and walking off but meaning the lift still stops on each floor.

It was disappointing visit after many previous good ones. There were issues with the air conditioning in the room as it was blowing out hot air only with settings all correct. I mentioned it to reception shortly after checking in who said there were issues with the air conditioning across the hotel. My sleep during the night was disturbed because the room was so hot some relief was provided as one of the windows opened. The following the morning I went to use the shower and the shower door fell off as it had only been hooked onto the frame. I managed to use the shower but the door fell off halfway through flooding the bathroom. Overall it was not a good visit this time.
