Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham
The room was nice however the bathroom door needs replacing as there is terrible water damage that lets the look and feel of the bathroom down. Staff seemed friendly. Breakfast was cold , even though I selected it straight from the hot counter. Beautiful Christmas tree and Christmas display on entry ...

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.
