Our verdict

You will find Frederick Street Townhouse on Frederick St, the Jewellery Quarter, 0.79 miles from New Street. New Street is around 20 minutes on foot and the Bullring around 25 minutes on foot, so the centre is walkable without planning transport.

Arriving by train, it is around 20 minutes on foot from the platforms. For an arena night it is around 9 minutes on foot.

Within about fifteen minutes on foot: Utilita Arena Birmingham (9 min), Broad Street (15 min) and the ICC and Symphony Hall (15 min). That combination is what you are really booking here.

It holds 8.6 out of 10 on Booking from 998 reviews, a small sample for a Birmingham hotel. That is 0.3 above the 8.3 average across the other 4 rated properties we compare in the Jewellery Quarter.

In the pricing snapshot behind this guide it listed at around £88 a night. That is about £21 below the £109 median across the other 4 priced properties we compare in the Jewellery Quarter. It is a snapshot rather than a live rate, and it will not match your dates.

Its closest neighbour in our selection is Four Points Flex by Sheraton Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, 265 metres away. Against that one, this hotel rates 0.5 higher.

It qualifies for our cheap hotels comparison, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.

Where it is weaker: there is no hotel car park, so a driver needs one of the public garages around Frederick St and the walk that comes with it.
