What a great find! Situated, strangely, in the middle of a suburban street, which does nothing to take away from this little gem of a hotel. It has it's own outdoor space and bar area, which regularly becomes THE place to meet for a drink and chat. Fantastic rooms, beautifully decorated and supplied with toiletries and fluffy towels. If you... more

My Husband and I stayed for 1 night for our Anniversary. The hotel has a choice of rooms which you can choose from the internet. Each room is decorated individually and quite funky. I would like to go back to try each room! Beautifully clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar areas have great decor and serve... more

I'm going to keep this simple. Simple is generally pretty good. Here is a copy of an email I sent the hotel today. I think it sums things up pretty well. To the team at Urban Beach xxx and I stayed with you on Wednesday and Thursday this week, you may remember us, we ran your sauvignon blanc reserves dry.... more

I enjoyed a three night with my husband for his birthday and our anniversary and I have to say to was nigh on perfect! I work in travel and have stayed in many hotels in the world and have to rate this within my top five. The rooms are wonderfully comfortable and cosy, the decor is upmarket but homely and... more

Stayed for one night on business thought I'd try the hotel given it's location and the excellent reviews. The rooms are good if not a bit small. Mine had a plasma TV DVD player, wi-fi, etc. and a nice bathroom. The room was quite warm and there's no air conditioning apart from a fan in the cupboard which made it... more

Fabulously luxurious Hotel, a real lovely, casual vibe. Room was wonderful if a little hot. Makes a real change from arriving at places you book to be really disappointed! We loved the Urban Beach. The staff did everything they could to help out and make our stay enjoyable. Our only 'quibble' was the loo seat was a little loose! You... more

Wow! What a great hotel. I stayed at the Urban Beach with a colleague of mine a couple of weeks ago. We had room numbers 8 and 9. The rooms were great, the staff were great and the food was great. Coming back to the hotel after a long day out for a drink was fab! We cannot wait to... more

We had a brilliant time and were well looked after by all the staff, who obviously love working for Mark the owner. The room we had was spotless and newly decorated and the food in the evening was great. You have to go with the flow, so if young people having a great time is not your thing, don't go.... more

We stayed in Room 2 at the Urban Beach Hotel for three nights from 2nd May 2008. When we first got to the hotel we were very excited because the downstairs bar looked great, the decor trendy and the staff and owner exceptionally friendly. I booked room two, which was the second most expensive room, for my husband's birthday so... more
