Hôtel bien situé. Proche métro et quartier animé à proximité. L'hôtel en lui-même est dans une rue calme.
L'hôtel tout entier aurait grand besoin d'être rafraîchit. Les canapés dans le hall d'accueil sont plus qu'usés.
Dans la chambre, la salle de bain comprenait une douche et un toilette. Même si le carrelage de la douche était abîmé, tout était propre. Chasse d'eau défectueuse. Le lavabo était dans la chambre. Pas forcément très pratique.
Pour les lits, les matelas auraient grand besoin d'être changés. Malgrès cela, nous avons bien dormi.
Le petit déjeuner n'était pas inclus. A plus de 8 livres, nous avons bu un thé grâce à la bouilloire dans la chambre et déjeuner dehors.
En résumé, pour une ou deux nuits, çà passe mais je n'y séjournerais pas plus longtemps.

Good location and service but rooms fair.
The location was good near tube and local pubs. Room very small and beds not comfortable. Staff worked hard. A little underwhelmed.
Mindede mere om et hostel end et hotel.

Good value
Shame the hotel doesn't spend a little money on the bathroom we had room 302 yes it's dated but very clean and good bedding and nice towels we didn't use the night gowns take the cost of these out and buy a pot of good bathroom paint and I'll be back
For the money I would still recommend the umi

The first room was dirty, the door lock was broken, the bathroom didn't flush properly and filled with mold. The window didn't close and worst of all I had to pay for WiFi. The night manager Antony was rude and sarcastic when I mentioned the room conditions.
i arrived at the hotel and they said my reservation was cancelled never knew why. I had to walk with my bags all around London to find another hotel to stay in

First time for everything
I've stayed at this hotel probably 8-10 times and this is the first time I have had cause to rate it anything other than first class. I arrived to find my reservation had not been processed but the staff dealt this a minor IT glitch well and I was checked in. Room to the normal standard but at 05:30 I was awoken by the most horrendous disturbance in the street as the "milk lorry" seemed to deliver enough milk to last the hotel a year. Men laughing and shouting and obviously having no respect for guests. I would have hoped the night staff would have said something. Oh... and no electric in the room (hotel) when I arrived back after my evening. That said it is easy t forgive, this remains excellent value for money with a great, friendly staff and is in an excellent location. Shame about the milk lorry !!
Really nice. Room was tiny but it's London, so to be expected. Pretty central location. Bed was probably the most comfortable of any hotel I've ever stayed at in London. Secret gem in the midst of not very good hotels in London.
Booked one night and then had to arrive the day before so extended my stay with another booking. I rang the hotel to ensure I had the same room and they assured me it was not a problem - and it wasn't. Friendly welcome and you actually feel they want you to enjoy your stay - very helpful throughout my stay.
Room was clean and well equipped. Like these "old" buildings there are some creaks and odd corners but that is part of the character.

Quiet hotel
Situated on a square, it avoids the bustle of London life, giving a more peaceful sleep.
The headboard fell off the wall when I lent on it so it could be more kempt but for the price of London Hotels, I got what I expected. Great breakfast in the morning. Staff really helpful
This is a great hotel in a lovely quiet area of Nottinghill. It's only a short walk to the tube station and Porterbello Road. The staff were very polite and friendly and made us feel welcome. The room was nice and spacious, and very clean. The bathroom was a bit pokey but to be expected for what we paid.
My room was ok except for the floor not being flat, therefore the bed was not level so it was uncomfortable sleeping, the curtains don't cover the whole window anything on the flat was on an angle due to the floor not being level. No free wifi at all
4th visit and 4th time happy and content. One of London's best kept secrets. Good value, clean rooms. Not luxury but very comfortable and clean. Staff are great, friendly and helpful. Location is close to bars, pubs and near enough to Notting Hill and other localities. Parking is easy too. What more do you want?
Second visit and it almost lived up to the first visit - to be fair I did have a single room rather than the double the previous visit. Room fine, check in excellent and staff as friendly as ever.
I should not say this BUT.. I was expecting a lot less - the booking was made in a hurry and I was not expecting much. I actually found a great hotel - friendly and professional welcome, a room that far exceeding expectations - even down to the dressing gowns. The staff actually seemed interested in my comfort !!
Enjoy

Nice 3-star hotel
Nice little hotel on a quiet back-street right on the border between Bayswater and Notting Hill. Not fancy or luxurious, but a clean and friendly tourist hotel. The room is small (so are almost all single rooms in London) but it had a good bed and en-suite facilities (clean and functioning). The staff was very helpful and service minded, so top-score there. Walking distance to the Underground and several restaurants in the area, nothing fancy though. As long as you set your expectations right, this is a good hotel well deserving of their 3 stars, and for the price it is highly recommended. I would stay there again when traveling to London. Seems a step better than many of the similar hotels nearby.
I stay in this type of hotel fairly often - it consists of small rooms in what used to be one of london's grand town houses. It provides the basics, clean building, TV, comfortable bed and a small bathroom. Location was good and the staff friendly. At this price range you can get some really bad hotels, but the UMI kind of stands out - you can tell they have a similar budget to many similar hotels but use it more wisely.
You can't expect the moon on a stick at these kind of prices, but what they do, they do it well. Check out some of my other reviews for similar hotels that don't get it right!
Everything was great, but matress needs an upgrade
Everything about this hotel was great, however, the matress had no padding on it at all, meaning I could feel the springs under me when laying on the bed. It was warm enough that I was able to sleep on top of the duvet cover, making it more comfortable.
