The hype
Modern, spotless, and incredibly convenient for events, but the rooms are tiny.

Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The 15-minute walk to the NEC and Resorts World beats waiting for taxis
- Check-in happens at the bar and comes with a free cocktail
- The lobby is actually fun—think foosball, board games, and 24/7 pizza
Snel Overzicht: It's a glorified dorm room for adults with a great bar and a parking situation that will test your patience.
Beoordeeld door @katie_bullock: I honestly loved the vibe here! Checking in with a free cocktail in hand set the tone perfectly. The room was super cute with those retro phones, and having 24/7 snacks plus a space to work made it feel like a home away from home. Definitely bringing my dog next time!

Reality check
The 'cool' vibe wears thin if you just want a quiet night; the lobby is loud and the breakfast is basic.
- You're under 40 (or feel like it) and hate beige corporate hotels
- You need to be at the NEC or Airport at 8am sharp
- You don't mind sacrificing square footage for a lively social scene
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
9.2
- Housekeeping: Daily and efficient. Reviews consistently praise the 'spotless' nature of the rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Grout is clean, glass is streak-free. No mold horror stories found.
- Maintenance: Newer property, so wear and tear is minimal. Everything feels fresh and modern.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and white, though some find the towels a bit on the thin/scratchy side.
- Odors & scents: Signature Moxy scent (sweet/floral) in the lobby; rooms smell neutral and clean.

“I'd love a room on a high floor facing Pendigo Lake for the quietest stay possible. Please avoid rooms directly next to the elevator bank.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there really no parking on site?
Correct. You park at NEC East 5. Drop your bags at the hotel first, then drive to the lot and walk back.
How do I get the parking discount?
Bring your parking token to the hotel reception to validate it. It drops the price to around £12/day.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. It's a continental buffet paid separately. Reviews say it's 'okay' but maybe not worth the £15 price tag.
Can I walk to the airport?
Technically yes, but it's easier to walk to Birmingham International Station (10-15 mins) and take the free Air-Rail Link.
Is it good for families?
They have 'Family Sleeper' rooms with a sofa bed, but the room is tight for 4 people. The vibe is definitely more adult-oriented.
Does the bar serve food late?
Yes, they have a 24/7 menu with pizzas and snacks, which is a lifesaver after a late concert.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Ironing Room' is a social hub in itself—check the hallway ends.
- ✨
You can cast your own Netflix/YouTube to the TV (a rare win for hotel tech).
- ✨
Don't pay for the hotel breakfast; grab a cheaper, better coffee and pastry at the Pret or Starbucks in the NEC/station.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'gym' is tiny but functional—good for cardio, bad for powerlifting.
💡The motion-sensor under-bed lighting is cool until it wakes you up when you toss a leg out.
💡The bathroom doors are often frosted glass sliders that don't lock—heads up if you're shy.
💡You might get a view of a car park or a construction site if you don't ask for Lake View.
💡The free welcome cocktail is usually a sugary rum punch; don't expect top-shelf mixology.
