Our verdict

Malmaison Birmingham sits on Wharfside St in Birmingham city centre, which puts it 330 metres from New Street. New Street is around 5 minutes on foot, which is about as short as a rail arrival in Birmingham gets.

For an arena night it is around 15 minutes on foot. On parking, own car park, charged. A garage in the same building at the Mailbox. Guests report that booking the space online costs less than driving up.

On the spa: mal Spa is in the hotel.. That comes from guest reports rather than the operator, so confirm it when you book.

Within about fifteen minutes on foot: Birmingham New Street Station (5 min), Broad Street (8 min), the ICC and Symphony Hall (9 min) and Birmingham Hippodrome (9 min). That combination is what you are really booking here.

It holds 8.5 out of 10 on Booking from 4,326 reviews, a normal sample for the city. 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 £108 a night. That is about £10 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 easyHotel Birmingham City Centre, 130 metres away. Against that one, this hotel rates 0.4 higher and usually costs more.

It qualifies for our hotels with parking, hotels with hot tubs and spa hotels in and around birmingham comparisons, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.

The other side of that: nothing about it stands out sharply enough to pick it over the other 43 properties we compare within a mile, so it comes down to rate on your dates.
