I visited this hotel for 7 nights this November, and I was very pleased with the service that we received relative to the good price that we paid for our stay. The hotel is in a relatively central location, just minutes away from the tube. The room was basic but had whatever was necessary to make our stay a good... more

Firstly, the location is not really Notting Hill. That would make it somewhat upmarket. No lift to the fifth floor.Walls in bed and bathroom covered in mould. Noisy throughout the night due to firedoors in corridor slamming and paper thin walls. Overall dirty and grimy with linen that looked unchanged. During the night we even had a vistor of the... more

The UMI needs some urgent renovations; particularly the bathrooms which consistently disappoint on every visit. Last time, it was paint peeling off the side of the bath and lukewarm shower water; this time it was a leaking tap and shower head that dripped all night and wasted litres of water. Nevertheless we like to stay here because it is in... more

We stayed for one night only (as planned - we didn't walk out!), wanted somewhere inexpensive, convenient for an appointment the next day, in a nice area and not depressing, and it ticked all these boxes. The decor of the room was a little odd, I think they'd taken over another hotel and not yet redecorated. It didnt fit their... more

The hotel recepton was very friendly and helpful and the reception area is very smart and clean. The room was small and the decor of the room and the corridors is very tired and really needs to be upgraded and first impressions on entering the room were disappointing. Once used to it, it was fne and was very clean. The... more

Stayed here for two nights at the begining of October with my boyfriend for his birthday. I chose the hotel because it was the cheapest yet the best reviews for a 3* hotel i could find. The room was an ok size, (at the end of the day your only sleeping in it) the sink was in the bedroom, and... more

We upgraded to stay in a Grove Room for a few nights but were very disappointed. The towels were stained and bathroom was small, and the 'quality' coffee and tea were basic. The bathrobes didn't match and overall the room was quite shabby and needed work. The bedhead was attached to the wall by two short screws that didn't hold... more

We stayed at Uni for 3 nights on our way to Europe after reading reviews on Trip Advisor. The staff on reception were very pleasant, however we were quite disappointed with the hotel overall. As we arrived about 8am in the morning, we had to store our bags until checkin time at 2pm - the luggage room can be accessed... more

The UMI Hotel in Bayswater is great. If you have any experience with a European three star hotel, then you will know exactly what you are getting with UMI - except just a bit better. It is clean, extremely close to 3 underground stops and several major bus lines (I cannot explain why any reviewer would complain about this -... more
