Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham
Breakfast selection was good but our group could not sit together, there were only 6 of us, as the staff were trying to close down a section of the restaurant for cleaning. We ended up on 3 separate tables, not very customer centric.

The hotel is in a quiet area but not far from a main bus and tram route. Room was very clean with a nice big comfortable bed. Later hours for breakfast at weekend much appreciated. Friendly staff.

Novotel Birmingham Centre
Excellent location, especially for the Symphony Hall. Clean room, friendly staff. Only disappointment was there was only 1 hand towel & 1 bath towel for 2 of us, didnt realise until I was in the shower & my husband had had his. I'm sure I could have asked for one but was in a rush.
