Our verdict

ibis budget Birmingham Centre sits on Great Colmore St in Edgbaston and Hagley Road, which puts it 0.44 miles from New Street. New Street is around 10 minutes on foot and the Bullring around 15 minutes on foot, so the centre is walkable without planning transport.

Arriving by train, it is around 10 minutes on foot from the platforms. For an arena night it is around 25 minutes on foot. On parking, limited spaces.

Within about fifteen minutes on foot: O2 Academy Birmingham (4 min), Birmingham Hippodrome (8 min), Birmingham New Street Station (10 min) and Broad Street (15 min). That combination is what you are really booking here.

It holds 7.1 out of 10 on Booking from 12,776 reviews, an unusually large sample. That is 1.2 below the 8.3 average across the other 9 rated properties we compare in Edgbaston and Hagley Road.

In the pricing snapshot behind this guide it listed at around £38 a night. That is about £66 below the £104 median across the other 9 priced properties we compare in Edgbaston and Hagley Road. It is a snapshot rather than a live rate, and it will not match your dates.

Its closest neighbour in our selection is The Duke of Wellington Hotel & Bar, 92 metres away, and the two are close enough on price and rating that the deciding factor is whichever is cheaper on your dates.

It qualifies for our cheap hotels and hostels and budget stays comparisons, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.

The other side of that: nothing about it stands out sharply enough to pick it over the other 37 properties we compare within a mile, so it comes down to rate on your dates.

A facility missing from this list means we did not establish it, not that the hotel lacks it. We do not fill gaps with assumptions.
