Hotels in Bickenhill

Location for the Arena was the reason for choosing - excellent. Shopping Centre outside the door was useful, although we did not have chance to visit it. Bright modern hotel & the Superior room was excellent - worth the extra. Breakfast quality was very good, but some attention to detail & organisation is needed. VIP parking under the hotel was not clearly marked for lift entry into the hotel. The room although clean, had someone's 'ear drops' in the drawer. The TV remote did not work, although a call to reception ensured a replacement was brought to the room. A waitress spilt tea over a coat & scarf of a lady at our table - without apologising!

Bicknell was a quick taxi ride from the airport. I received a very warm welcome and both the host and setting were 5-star in hospitality and comfort. Milly was flexible in terms of my arrival and departure, and sever a great breakfast before giving me a ride to the train. The setting was so great: a beautiful brick horse farm in the country with some renovations that made the rooms comfortable, clean and relaxing. Free internet and the competitive price. I've already booked two more stats here. As for the town, I didn't have time but it seemed a nice place for a walk about.

Perfect location for attending the Genting Arena, only a 10 minute walk away. Really comfortable bed. Good, reasonably priced food on site. Very helpful friendly staff. The rooms are modern and spacious. The bathrooms are modern but felt that they looked a bit shabby where the grout was stained and the extract valve was corroding, although it may be picky! The overall feel was modern and clean.

Our trip was to see a concert at the Genting arena. We went out to eat around 5pm, unfortunately we were unable to get into any restaurant as they were all full. Food was plentiful in the arena itself, good quality and not to badly priced.

We booked the hotel for its proximity to the NEC as we were attending a concert there. The hotel is ideally situated for the NEC, the train station and airport. During our stay we also visited the Resort World outlet shopping mall. The mall was well laid out but it was a bit of a trek to the toilets and not all the shops have changing rooms, do you either have to try your purchase on in the public toilets or take them home and then return them.

Bickenhill is an excellent starting point for the airport, the NEC, also the international railway station, you are not far away from tourists areas too, such as Stratford Upon Avon, Warwick, Kennelworth, the Cotswolds etc, also take a trip into Birmingham City centre, great for shopping, you must see the big bronze bull, at the bull ring shopping centre, and don't miss Brindley Place, where the canals meet, with very good pubs and restaurants, a great day out.
