Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham - Formerly Jurys Inn

Birmingham|0.27km from National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham

Latest booking 18 hrs ago

I stopped here one night with friends for my birthday. The hotel is easy to get to, and the location is excellent as it’s located on Broad Street, near Brindley Place which hosts a wide range of bars and pubs. So if you’re visiting Birmingham to have a drunken, night out or a special occasion then this hotel is perfect. There’s also parking on site behind the hotel which is very handy, unfortunately the car park isn’t discounted for guests stopping in the hotel. After waiting in a small queue, we attempted to check in at 14:30 (half hour earlier than check in ‘opens’) we were told the room wasn’t ready. Which wasn’t an issue as they had luggage storage available. We can back to check in at 16:00 and the queue was horrendous. I’ve never seen a queue as big as this to check in for a hotel before. We waited for 20 minutes until we checked in. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped. Although there were coffee cups left behind the curtains upon entry. The bathroom was very modern and had a walk in shower. The beds were unbelievably comfy and had plug sockets by the side of the bed which is a massive plus as not every hotel has this. Luckily, it was a quicker process checking out as you can just pop your keys in the ‘express checkout box’. Overall, a comfortable night stay in the heart of Birmingham, unfortunately the check in was horrific.

Ibis Styles Birmingham Centre
4.1/5108 Reviews
We stayed here as a family during the Commonwealth games and were more than happy with the hotel. We stayed in a family room with a sofa bed made up for the children - perfect size for two toddlers but might be a squeeze for two older children. The room was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. The location is perfect and within walking distance to the City centre. Lovely walk along the canal to Brindley Place and Sealife Centre. The hotel has its own underground car park which is a real bonus priced at £13 per night. Follow the one way system round to the rear of the hotel and you'll see the entrance. The hotel was full to capacity but still plenty of spaces. Tea and coffee facilities in the room, but we used the free drinks vending machine in reception instead. Good selection of drinks and available 24 hours. We added breakfast on the last morning and it was £9 per adult, children free. Good selection of cooked breakfast, cereals, continental. Overall a great stay and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we came to Birmingham again.
Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham Brindleyplace
4.3/5120 Reviews
Been twice in a matter of months. Located a short 3 minute walk to the terminal best location! We stay in the short run carpark as always cheaper on holiday extras for us, the bus stop is literally outside terminal and a short 15 min trans. However a number of car parks are so close. Car Park 1 is the closest and I think 4 and 5 across the road. Bar and food is expensive although a good quality, very trust worthy and friendly staff and as with all Hiltons a good standard of linens and a great night sleep

I went to afternoon tea for a 70th birthday today. The experience was amazing from start to finish. They treated all of us like royalty especially the birthday lady. Having our own room. Which had been decorated. Walking into the room on our very own red carpet. The hosts Julell, Jose and Niu were lovely. Making the afternoon a very memorable time. They could not do enough for us all. Topping up our tea and making sure everything was okay. The food was exceptional too, I will definately be recommending to my friends. Thank you for a lovely afternoon. See you again soon xxx
