Aparthotel Adagio Birmingham City Centre
The stay was really nice, the staff all seemed pleasant, decent spot with it being so close to the bullring. I did leave a hoodie in the hotel room though and it never went to lost and found so one of the cleaners got a free hoodie I guess.

ibis budget Birmingham Centre
We'd stayed before so knew what to expect. No frills, clean bed for the night. For a place to crash it's good value.
