Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Hilton Birmingham Metropole is a popular choice for those attending events at the NEC, thanks to its convenient location and even a free shuttle to the exhibition centre. Guests often compliment the extensive breakfast options, finding the available seating to be plentiful. The gym is well-equipped and some executive rooms are refurbished, offering spacious layouts with both a standalone shower and bathtub; however, some guests have noted issues with noise due to events. The bar area is also well-regarded.

The breakfast buffet included many choices. I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the NEC. It was a short walk. I would consider staying at this hotel in the future. The room was quiet and I rested well.
The hotel provided a room with two beds instead of a requested double bed. I found the cost of the stay high for what was offered. I did not feel very welcome. The staff didn't speak with me with respect.

Comfortable stay near Birmingham Airport

comfortable bed helpful staff convenient location
The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were helpful, especially Daniela at reception (she was very knowledgeable!). I appreciated the convenient location prior to an early flight. Breakfast offered a wide choice of options.
The bar ran out of sauvignon blanc wine early, then all white wine by 10pm. The lack of options impacted the evening.
