Das Hotel hat eine perfekte Lage, liegt direkt am Strand. Das Hotelpersonal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Fernseher bei mir im Zimmer war direkt. Nachdem in das gemeldet hatte, habe ich am nächsten Tag einen neuen bekommen. Das Zimmer was sauber. Die Sanitäranlagen war auch gut. Für seine 3 Sterne fand ich das Hotel wirklich gut. Der Nachteil ist es, dass die Fenster sehr schlecht isoliert sind. In den kalten Tagen im Winter kann sehr kalt sein und man kriegt den Lärm von der nah gelegenen "Partystraße". English breakfast im Hotelrestaurant war auch sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig

Sehr nettes Hotel direkt am Strand von Brighton, das nicht nur durch die Lage sondern ebenso durch das nette und hilfreiche Personal, die gute Ausstattung (z.B. WLAN kostenlos) sowie das sehr gute Frühstück im eigenen Coffee Shop zu überzeugen weiss. Es gibt sicherlich ruhigere und sauberere Plätze auf der Welt - wer diese sucht, sollte aber nicht unbedingt nach Brighton fahren ;-)

Für den Preis war es völlig ok. Die Zimmer waren sauber, allerdings sehr klein. Ich war allein in einem Doppelzimmer und fand es selbst für eine Person schon sehr klein, aber man ist in der Regel ja eh nur zum Schlafen da. Die Badgröße war ok. WLAN ist umsonst. Leider hat die Klimaanlage im Hof etwas genervt, da sie doch recht laut war. Die Rezeption war freundlich, der Frühstücksservice etwas unbeholfen, aber auch nett und das Frühstück war ok.

I booked this hotel through Booking.com because it was very close to the Brighton Centre. No car park but a 50%reduction if you use their affiliated car park. We didn't use it (couldn't find it initially but it was very close when we did spot it). An unremarkable building right on the sea front - everything was more than fine on check in as our 2 singles were upgraded to doubles - much appreciated. We didn't have a view but our rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor were quiet and for ¿¿61 B&B excellent value.The rooms were fine, full bath with shower over, plenty of hot water, good brew making facilities, trouser press, toiletries, hair dryer, extra pillows/towels in the cupboard. it was a bit tired, a few scuffs and knocks but for a *3 seafront hotel which must get a lot of wear and tear there was nothing to moan about really. Perhaps the room was a little warm during the night...but I'd rather that than be cold in a hotel which is miserable.The chap on evening reception (7/5/13) very pleasant and helpful, especially when I had issues with my electronic key (my fault!); he came up to my room to make sure everything was working OK (it was). Small but adequate lift which is essential for me.The breakfast was fine; help yourself 'all you can eat' with bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, fresh grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and beans. Make your own toast, very good croissants, yoghurt, fresh fruit, juice - so plenty to eat. Ours was inclusive but at ¿¿4.95 for guests to 'add on' very good value. interesting dining room d¿¿cor for breakfast though - very Boudoir with red velvet swags and red walls but probably fine for a candle light supper. We didn't eat there but the menu for residents (if you ate before 6 pm) was ¿¿9.95 for 3 courses and it looked like a good menu, I would have been happy to eat there had we been able to stay longer, We didn't try the adjoining coffee shop either...just not enough time.Location is great, just a few minutes walk from the Lanes, the Pavillion and of course right opposite the beach with a subway for safe access just one crossing away. I'd be happy to stay at the Umi Hotel again.

I stayed one night on a business trip and the deal on Booking.com was great, but I was slightly apprehensive- I need n't have been.Reception is fairly low key but I was delighted to find that though I had booked a side sea view I was upgraded to a sea front room, very spacious with bay window view straight out to sea. Air conditioned, very comfortable king size bed and well appointed bathroom with great shower. Decor is slightly severe modernist but quite stylish. The bar was strikingly empty- ie no customers and no staff but the guy from reception came and served us when required. Then into the adjoining Little Bay restaurant, which I assume is under separate management; that is a quirky but good fun dining experience; fairly ordinary menu but reasonably priced; totally over the top mock opera decor, complete with upper booths, all in red flock and gilt paint- as excessive as the hotel bedrooms are restrained; on the night I was there, and certain nights of the week, a lady sang "opera" ie a few classics plus excerpts from the musicals; I dont think she will be transferring to Covent Garden but she worked the room very effectively and I thought it was really good fun (my daughter who joined me for the evening is rather more critical and she did n't, such is youth!)Next morning, breakfast was served in the same location which looks even more tacky in the daylight but there is a sea view, the staff were friendly enough, and the buffet style breakfast had just about everything and as much as you wanted; maybe not the highest quality but had it not been included in my very reasonable room rate (about ¿¿65 per night mid week) it was only an extra ¿¿4.95. The hotel lacks a pool and gym but what they dont tell you on Booking.com is that both facilities are available nearby to guests, I think at no additional charge (I did n't have the chance to use these so cant be sure but that was my understanding).Weekends any hotel on Brighton seafront is likely to be noisy but mid week in March it was very quiet ie some road traffic but no party animals.For modest budget accomodation on the seafront and close to all amenities and a reasonable standard overall I think it is well worth considering, and I would stay again on business or possible leisure.
