The Burlington is unique in that it adjoins the Railway Station and also fronts New Street the main shopping street. Built by The Midland Railway and containing the original beautiful Architecture. The bedrooms are large, the breakfast excellent and the staff perfect. We organised an event here via Ella and we booked 6 bedrooms. The most convenient location in Birmingham. Absolutely recommended.

On arrival at the hotel, we were greeted with very polite and friendly staff. The lobby and shared spaces were very clean and tidy, and very welcome after a long day of travelling. Upon entering the room, we found there was only one set of towels for two of us, which was quickly resolved by the front desk. Our stay was quiet, comfortable and very relaxing.

Have stayed here many times in the past due to the great location, quirkiness, design and history of the hotel. All previous stays were great. This one, not so much. Heating wasn’t working in the room and the shower dripped constantly waking us up. McDonald Hotels need to get back to the standard they had before.
