The hotel is centrally located so convenient for all main areas of Brighton, but being next to the nightclub there is a lot of external noise - not much sleep! Our rooms were clean and adequate. The scaffolding and mesh on the outside of the hotel, though I appreciate this is temporary and necessary for external decoration, spoiled our stay... More

I bought a voucher for a one night stay with breakfast at this hotel from Living Social, the voucher was valid until 10 June 2012, so naturally I thought I would be ok to book a stay until June the 10th. After calling the hotel a number of times trying to book, to be told they would call me back... More

My wife and I stayed for two nights via a Groupon deal. Trying to be objective - good things were 1) The location. Right on the sea front, near to the pier, ideal for access to Brighton town centre. 2) The staff who were pleasant and efficient. 3) The room was clean. 4) Breakfast at the adjacent "Little Bay" was...

Booked a one nite stay single room on May 9 2012, I chose this place because of convenience. I'm so surprised at the cleanliness of my room & toilet. The room had the right temp, didn't have to turn on the heating. Hot water available throughout, Clean Towels x 3. All the channels worked perfectly on freeview. I hear a... More

I have just returned from a two-night stay at Umi Hotel Brighton. On arrival found that none of the requests I had made in my booking had been taken account of and when I asked for a front sea view was told that it would be £20 per night extra. We (my mother and I) were given room 306 at... More

Price for a double room here is supposedly £200; I got a room late in the day for £130 and this was much, much more than it was worth. The room was tiny; I couldn't even get round the side of the bed. There were no bedside tables (no room), just a small desk and chair. The bathroom was tiny... More

In general hotel seemed reasonable, but nothing special. Being a single man staying for one night I wonder if I was given a worse room than I might have otherwise. I had quite a bit of trouble falling asleep, and staying asleep, there was a constant background machine noise. Looking out the window the next day I realise this was... More

Booked through a voucher company. No weekends available at all. Paid almost 50% more for a sea view. All we got was a view of scaffolding. There was no warning of this. Also had a man right outside our window, painting. the room was roasting hot and no way of changing it. The room was of an ok standard. 3*... More

We got the room at a discounted rate through Groupon - which is just as well as I certainly wouldn't have paid rack rate for it... though saying that, who does these days? The location is pretty central, and directly opposite the beach - though its proximity to the high street clubs and bars makes it a fairly noisy place... More
