Macdonald Burlington Hotel

I booked a two-night stay at this hotel last-minute after an unexpected flight reschedule, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. I reserved through Booking.com and received a free breakfast bundle (I believe this perk is available for Genius Level 1 or 2 members). I was also kindly upgraded to a better room upon arrival—thank you to the receptionist for that! The hotel and the room both have a charming traditional vibe and architecture, which I found beautiful and unique. I tried the porridge from the breakfast buffet, and it was quite good. I also had a hamburger at the hotel's restaurant, and that was a great experience as well.

Great location for central Birmingham. The hotel is extremely clean and very well presented. The staff are friendly and go beyond to make your stay that bit special. The food is delicious and again well presented in a bright, fresh clean restaurant. If you need a great hotel with quality in central Birmingham, then this venue is for you.

This is a lovely place to stay in a great location. The hotel itself is decorated in what I would describe as "old money" style - nice and clean and in places expensive looking but in other ways it can seem dated, but that's just a matter of opinion. Never the less, I cannot fault it. The staff were lovely and the room was immaculately clean. Our bed was very comfortable. Loads of wardrobe space. The bathroom was massive. There's a bar inside the hotel but there's also Bacchus Bar downstairs - not part of the hotel but just in the floor below. Really interesting, different bar. Parking was easy, we used the car park above Grand Central so it's literally a 2 minute walk through the station and across the road. We weren't woken up during the night by other guests, which is always a bonus! You won't need transport staying here. Everything is within walking distance.
