This is my second visit to this hotel. We came back because our first visit was very positive. This time our room was around the back of the hotel, looking out on an alley and was incredibly noisey, noisier then the side/sea view room we had last time. The room whilst clean/tidy/as expected was tiny. Not suitable for a twin,... More

We booked the Umi on a kgb deal, not having been to Brighton; and what a great surprise. The hotel is an eclectic mix of Japanese named hotel, contemporary rooms, and an Opera themed restaurant. We were upgraded to a sea view room which was wonderful, and huge. The Umi is close to the Lanes shopping and eatery area, where... More

Room was stuffy and overheated therefore I turned off the radiator and kept the window open. Could this be reason for a fine for smoking in the room? The small print contained with the signing in sheet states the they have only "to believe" you have smoked in the room.Well you can believe all you want it doesn't make it... More

Dear Madam Please accept our sincere apologies you found your room stuffy and overheated. We have had numerous requests from our guests to turn the heating up due to the cold spell we are currently experiencing, but I fully take on board that as individuals this will not be of comfort to every guest. Can I ask you on your... More

Dear Madam I am in fact the Manager, who was on duty with Liam on the day in question. On your arrival to the hotel you and your 4 friends were making an unacceptable high level of noise, to the degree Liam could not hear what the other guest was saying. However it was fed back to Liam on that... More

the mattress was lumpy and i asked for it to be changed, this was changed and i was happy with the service at this point. When it came to checking out we were advised that there would be an additional charge of £100 for the room as a 'smoking in the room fine'. This is a total false allegation of... More

Dear Madam, Further to your comments posted on Trip Advisor, I can confirm you were in deed charged £100 for smoking in your room. Apart from it being illegal to smoke in the hotel, the room has a clear non smoking sign on the door, as well in the hotels information folder and on our terms & conditions signed by... More

Had stayed at this hotel 3 years ago and was very impressed at quality for price. This time felt a little let down. It's not bad but is certainly a little tatty round the edges. It's little things like taps not quite working properly, noise and drafts from windows. The biggest issue was breakfast next day which was chaotic. Didn't... More

My room was the size of a postage stamp and smelt of cat wee, felt very claustrophobic and did not want to stay in the room for too long. Not worth the £175 at all. Ensuite was equally small and the taps nearly stuck out over the edge of the basin. There was no radiator in my room and it... More

Dear Guest Please accept our sincere apologies, you were not happy with your recent stay with Umi Brighton. I can only guess you were in one of our standard rooms, which are in deed much smaller than any of our sea view rooms.

Second time we've stayed at the Umi. They've done a quick tidy up ahead of a full refurb that we were told will happen before the end of the year. It really can't come soon enough. We had a family room in the end as we complained about the original. It was a large and well decorated room but the... More
