Myself and 2 friends are off to birmingham next week. We want a nice hotel in the city, as in 4* +. Anyone any recommendations, we'll be off the the nec so need to be VERY near to shops and new street.
I stayed in the Burlington (MacDonald) hotel on New street last year and got a good deal from lastminute.com (€60) for a single room per night. Right smack in town.
