Our verdict

On Broad St in Birmingham city centre, 0.53 miles from New Street: that is where Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham sits. New Street is around 15 minutes on foot and the Bullring around 20 minutes on foot, so the centre is walkable without planning transport.

Arriving by train, it is around 15 minutes on foot from the platforms. For an arena night it is around 10 minutes on foot. On parking, own car park, charged. Guests describe parking on site, and chargeable parking next door.

Within about fifteen minutes on foot: Broad Street (1 min), the ICC and Symphony Hall (4 min), Utilita Arena Birmingham (10 min) and Birmingham New Street Station (15 min). That combination is what you are really booking here.

It holds 8.5 out of 10 on Booking from 16,607 reviews, an unusually large sample. That is 0.2 above the 8.3 average across the other 22 rated properties we compare in Birmingham city centre.

In the pricing snapshot behind this guide it listed at around £103 a night. That is close to 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 Novotel Birmingham Centre, 150 metres away. Against that one, this hotel rates 0.4 higher.

It qualifies for our hotels with parking, best city centre hotels and last-minute hotels comparisons, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.

It is not the right answer for everyone, because nothing about it stands out sharply enough to pick it over the other 39 properties we compare within a mile, so it comes down to rate on your dates.
