Booked a 1 night stay, but I was unsure what to expect after reading previous reviews. The hotel could not have been better located & is just a 5 min walk from Piazza Entrance 2 at the NEC.. Its a bright, modern & contemporary & relaxed place to stay & was certainly busy when I stayed. Room 313 was a... more

Stayed here for one night, for an event at the NEC. Rooms weren't very cosy, laminate flooring made the room feel very cold. Bed was very small for a double, not ideal when you're sharing with a friend and have requested a twin room. Bed was also uncomfortable. However the room was very clean and the shower was great! The... more

The hotel itself is new, close to both Birmingham Airport and the NEC and has ample free parking. It also has a very good park and fly offer (£69 for room and two weeks parking) which we didn't have chance to use. It's perhaps not attractively surrounded being in the middle of an industrial estate but then I would class... more

I was attending an exhibition at the NEC and decided to stop overnight. I have never stayed in the Ramada Encore so I gave it a try. The hotel was new and very clean, with ample car parking. Check was fine and the rooms were clean but a little sterile. All rooms have laminate flooring and a small television with... more

My husband and I stayed here Oct 28th 2009 with my teenage daughter and friend who were going to see a concert at the LG Arena.We had two rooms next to each other on the first floor.The rooms were spotless and had all we needed for our short stay, yes the beds are a little small and not the most... more

I cannot complain at the cost. £69 for one night but that did include car parking for a week. The hotel is tricky to find and is best approached on the B4438 off the A45. Follow the signs for Elmdon Trading Estate. Do NOT under any circumstances follow signs for Birmingham Airport. The car remains in the hotel car park... more

Booked last minute for two nights for an event at the LGArena, On arrival, met by polite and efficient check in staff, who allocated our requested quiet room on 3rd floor. The room itself, although perhaps a little small, was very clean, had tea/coffee making facilities, a flat screen TV and the walk in shower room. All in all, very... more

I stayed at the Ramada Encore the night before attending an exhibition at the NEC. I paid 58 pounds for the room and breakfast and thought that it was great value. The hotel is a bit tricky to find so make sure you have directions but is very handy for the NEC. It is directly behind the exhibition halls and... more

The room was fine - clean, good decor- bit minimalist but fine for the one night we were staying. Reception is friendly and efficient. However, the restaurant and bar are a completely different story. The food is obviously bought in and just heated up rather than being cooked fresh. We had scampi which was undercooked and soggy. The worst bit... more
