Should you add breakfast to your airport hotel booking?
For most travellers, the answer is yes. Airport food and drink is expensive, and queues at terminal cafes can eat into the time you need for check-in and security. Having breakfast at your hotel means you arrive at the terminal well fed, without rushing, and without paying terminal prices for a coffee and pastry. If you have a very early flight and need breakfast before 06:00, the Ibis and Ibis Budget NEC are your best options. For a more leisurely start with a wider menu, the Novotel and Hilton Garden Inn both deliver.
