I've stopped at the Etap in Birmingham quite a few times; and more often than not there are the odd problems-hair, usually, dark hair, often on the bunk bed which goes across the double bed, this often ends up on the double bed which we sleep on. Generally the rooms aren't any where near as clean as they could be... more

We stayed here for one night and I honestly thought it was brilliant. I have stayed in some beautiful hotels but for something cheap and clean this cannot be beaten. OK so there are no tea making facilities in the room but there is an area downstairs where you can obtain a good choice of food and drink; there may... more

We decided to book Etap to celebrate my sisters birthday, so we booked 6 triple rooms for 2 nights as there was around 18 of us. From the moment we reached the hotel, the staff were rude and unhelpful. The only nice staff were the security who seemed realistic and "normal". The other seemed to have a "programmed robot" approach.... more

This is my second review of Etap after the last stay over a year ago. I booked two rooms for five people for the 13-15th June. We was given adjacent rooms on the fourth floor facing Great Colmore Street, near the end of the corridor furthest away from Bristol Street (the dual carriageway). Some people in my group have stayed... more

This is a city centre hotel, for £38 you get a room for 3 adults with an en-suite, and breakfast is £2.95 each. Yes it is basic but considerably cheaper than the hotels offering more facilities. It is clean, the beds are comfortable and for a couple of nights it is first class value for money. No I would not... more

I booked this hotel because it is within walking distance from the National Indoor Arena (1 mile away). The price (£38, booked directly with hotel) was reasonable for a central hotel. Reception was bright and airy, and the staff were polite and helpful, despite many people checking in at the same time. The room was very small. The toilet in... more

I was invited on a hen night which was to take place on a saturday night. when i arrived, check in was speedy and the girl on reception was nice and polite. the place was full of young people all checking in for a night on the town. the hotel is within walking distance of arcadian which is a part... more

The first thing I should say here is that cheap and cheerful is not my usual hotel choice, I like my hotel room to be at least as nice as my bedroom at home that I’m missing out on…a home away from home if you like…which means it has to be a good size, with a very comfortable king bed,... more

As you’ll have seen from other reviews on Trip Advisor, this is a hotel that you’ll either love or hate. If cost is your main criteria then you’ll love this place – it’s £38 per night for a room sleeping up to 3 people; plus the buffet breakfast costs only £2.95 per person. But with low cost comes compromises and,... more
