Tri-Star Hotel

My son and I Used this place as a base to go to Saltex at the NEC Nigel and his team were amazing. The Hotel has done exactly what it needed to do clean, tidy food was spot on price was spot on if we are ever back that way again its a no brainer Next time I want to book a room so we can see the planes a bit better though Thank you for a pleasant stay

We booked a double room at the Tri-Star Hotel to see a live gig at the Birmingham NEC. The hotel has Free parking which, in this day and age, you usually have to pay for. From the rear of the hotel you could see Birmingham Airport which was great as my son is a huge airplane enthusiast (took some pics for him). There are rooms you can book with views of the airport; which i will be booking this year. The rooms were comfy and quaint, with the usual coffee and tea making facilities, soaps and shower/hair products and TV. The staff were exceptionally helpful, polite, knowledgeable and great to converse with. Lovely hot breakfast in the morning; served 7am - 9am. I'm a coeliac and I was able to have a full English. Bar available for pre-gig drinks. A short taxi ride to the NEC, for around £7, where you will find a great selection of shops and restaurants. It is possible to walk or bus. Lovely garden area to the rear. Pool table next to the dining room. Check out was by midday, which is excellent, and a couple hours later than other hotels. The hotel has been there since the 1970s and I will definitely be staying there again this year. I'm not sure of the cost as my friend payed for the room?

I stayed there while exhibiting at the NEC. Location was excellent although the satnav wanted to take me up a restricted access airport road! The room itself was fine, clean and ideal for our needs. The en-suite was a bit disappointing though, it was tiny and very very cold despite turning the radiator up full. Condensation on a double glazed window in the morning is never a good thing. I found myself taking a hot shower just to heat up and then trying to avoid touching the icy cold sink or toilet afterwards! No hairdryer in the room so you might want to bring your own. The hotel may give you one if you ask, I didn’t need to as I had my own. Breakfast was nice, standard cooked breakfast with choice of cereals and fruit. The staff was very accommodating and attentive. There is a bar which looked nice although I didn’t use it. They serve dinner too but you need to ask someone to give you a menu and they will cook to order. I can’t comment on the food as we didn’t eat there, the choices weren’t really to our tastes. Overall it’s a nice place and pretty much does what it says on the tin.

This small hotel was a great find and made a relaxing base for the week whilst working in the area. The hotel is family run and this is reflected in the passion they have for ensuring everyone has a great stay. My room was comfortable and clean with all the required facilities. Breakfast in the morning was freshly cooked with a good selection of cereals etc to go with it. In the evenings there is a small bar, a pleasant outdoor seating area to watch the planes or a comfortable lounge to watch TV or read. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Had a lovely short stay while at the NEC, which is just a short bus ride away (5-10m) with a decent bus service. Kate and Nigel were fantastic hosts, very friendly, helpful and cheerful. The room and communal areas were clean and functional. Some noise from the planes in the airport behind but the room was triple glazed and the planes not at all regular, and hence didn't affect my stay at all. The food was tasty with decent portions - my favourite was the prawn cocktail which was absolutely delicious! Will definitely visit again when at the NEC.

Occasionally you are fortunate to book a room and wish you had longer to stay there, well the Tri-Star Hotel is one such place. We booked 2 nights and needed to be at the airport on the second day early, to say it was close would be an understatement, it was a few minutes in a taxi which Nigel organised for us. On day one we visited the NEC, again extremely close by and a bus stop just a few steps away got us there. Others have mentioned the 'homely' feel you get when staying and it's exactly that, also a comfortable lounge and an excellent bar. I couldn't believe how much Nigel managed to make us feel welcomed and appreciated, thank you so much and we will definitely return for Birmingham Airport or the NEC at some point in the future.

Stayed here one night before a minor operation at Spire hospital. The staff were very attentive & friendly. We had a, lovely evening meal & breakfast. The room was comfortable & clean. I would definitely stay here again

Had a lovely stay for a couple of nights. Clean, comfortable, friendly. Food in the restaurant was very nice, as was the beer. Staff were very friendly, giving the hotel a real 'homely' feel. Ideal for anyone going to the NEC for business, or pleasure. A great stay, thanks.

Wasn’t sure what to expect as we had never heard of this hotel however it’s a gem of a find. Super friendly, parking, good breakfast and fab location for Birmingham airport. Would definitely use again .
