Birmingham is England’s second biggest city and while it doesn’t attract anywhere near the same number of visitors as London, it’s a really great city to explore for a few days. I’ve been to Birmingham a few times now, and this time, I chose to stay at the small but quaint and oh so English hotel just outside the city centre – The Royal George Hotel.
The Royal George Hotel in Birmingham, England.
It was part of a big reunion for me with some old friends so having a place which was cosy and welcoming was important. Here’s a few reasons why I recommend staying here when you end up in Birmingham.
Victoria Square, Birmingham.
The Royal George is a traditional English style Inn, you know the type – bar and restaurant downstairs and rooms upstairs. The difference here is that the rooms are modern, refurbished and in pristine condition.
There are two downstairs bars full of great atmosphere, friendly staff and a range of beers and food. It’s also a great place to watch football, just don’t turn up in an Aston Villa top!!
The rooms and both bars also have reliable and free wifi, free parking (not a given in Birmingham I must add) and an ensuite.
