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.

Genting Hotel & Spa at Resorts World Birmingham
Beautiful hotel with a lovely spa and decent rooms. The breakfast wasn’t great, there were nice pastries but the cooked breakfast tasted like it all came out of a can. I would love to stay here again but I would skip breakfast.

Wonderful large room. Luxurious and bed and pillows were really comfy. Spotless bathroom with lovely smelling toiletries. All staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend highly as so convenient for getting from the station and visiting the Xmas Market.
