Hotel
Clayton Hotel Birmingham
Birmingham city centre, around 10 minutes on foot from New Street. What follows is the practical detail: distances, parking, who it suits and where it does not.
Our verdict
Clayton Hotel Birmingham sits on Albert St in Birmingham city centre, which puts it 0.42 miles from New Street. New Street is around 10 minutes on foot and the Bullring around 7 minutes on foot, so the centre is walkable without planning transport.
Arriving by train, it is around 10 minutes on foot from the platforms.
Within about fifteen minutes on foot: Birmingham Children's Hospital (6 min), the Bullring (7 min), Birmingham New Street Station (10 min) and Birmingham Hippodrome (10 min). That combination is what you are really booking here.
It holds 8.2 out of 10 on Booking from 4,880 reviews, a normal sample for the city. That sits almost exactly on the average of 8.3 across the other 22 rated properties we compare in Birmingham city centre.
In the pricing snapshot behind this guide it listed at around £130 a night. That is about £32 above the £98 median across the other 23 priced properties we compare in Birmingham city centre. It is a snapshot rather than a live rate, and it will not match your dates.
Its closest neighbour in our selection is Staybridge Suites Birmingham Aparthotel by IHG, 375 metres away. Against that one, this hotel rates 0.7 lower.
It qualifies for our best city centre hotels comparison, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
Set against that, there is no hotel car park, so a driver needs one of the public garages around Albert St and the walk that comes with it.
