This is a great place to stay if you're on a budget as it's clean, cheerful and right in the center of Nottinghill Gate/Bayswater. We paid £100/night for a family room with one double bed and one single for our 6-yr-old. The reception & cafe staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were basic and small but clean.

Very pleasant stay, the staff were extremely friendly, room was clean and comfortable, food was lovely and not over priced, in a brilliant location. I was very impressed :) There were a few downsides to the stay: The chef didn't turn up on the 1st night there, but there are loads of places to eat within a 5 minute walk... more

I have just returned from a week at Umi - I had a single room as I was on business. It's okay for a London hotel - I've definitely stayed in worse. The reception area and bar give the impression that it's reasonably smart and almost trendy but the rooms don't keep up the same image. My room was tiny... more

I expected an average 3* hotel with good quality/price. But... The 1st room, was over-heated +++. i had to have the wondow wide open all the time. The TV didn't work & the only way I could watch was by sitting in the sink (yeah the sink isn't in the bathroom). I changed room. The 2nd was just between the... more

I've just come back from 2 nights at the Umi hotel and I would definitely recommend this hotel to any of my friends and am planning a return visit next year. Its a lovely hotel in a beautiful area only 5 mins from Bayswater tube station. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and other amenities in the area. The staff... more

We stayed at the Umi Hotel in London on October 15th for 2 nights. After reading the last few reviews I was slightly nervous. We arrived at 8pm & check in went smoothly & the receptionist was very pleasant. We had a double room (408) and it was a really nice clean room (spotless infact) We also had a nice... more

Very expensive for what it is. Rooms are old, very very small and noisy. The staff is not friendly. The breakfast is very expensive compared to a local pub breakfast. Really not a good choice for the price. more

I booked Umi after reading some good reviews here and the location (Bayswater/Notting Hill) was convenient. On arrival I was pleased as it looks out onto a garden square and reception looked smart and contemporary. Staff were, at all times, lovely. However I was disappointed when I got to my room. I paid for a Grove room (311) - unfortunately... more

Umi definitely provides better value for money than many similarly-priced London hotels, especially if you are able to arrange a favourable rate by booking ahead. Last things first - the room is small, or at least, mine was. But then, what else does one need to do there when in London, other than rest, change clothes and maybe enjoy a... more
