This hotel was really more of a guest house than a hotel, although this doesn't really matter as there is so much to see and do in Brighton that you won't spend too much time there anyway. The hotel was really sweet and charming, although my fridge at home is better stocked than the bar hence my comment about. However,... more

We booked this hotel with spa breaks, after booking we then noticed all the reviews were not positive, We did not cancel simply because we got a good deal for £80.00 per person which included room,breakfast, evening meal and 1 hour spa treatment. We only stayed for 1 night and had a great time. I usually stay in large hotels... more

My partner and I booked into this hotel as we were unable to get into the Hilton/Thistle and after much deliberation we decided on Urban House, mainly due to the fact that it was very close to the pier and various other amenities (in the rather less camp side of town). After struggling to find the place and having a... more

The newspaper cutting of a beaming bathrobe clad Ian Wright and the owners of the Urban House and Retreat Spa pinned proudly to the wall behind reception was probably the first warning sign that this wasn't going to be the retreat that we wanted! My partner and I decided to book a weekend in Brighton - we had been there... more

My husband booked us into this 'Urban retreat' as a getaway. Im 6 months pregnant, and exhausted, so it was to be a really relaxing break. We arrived to be put in a 'courtyard room' which resembled a heroin addicts grotty bedsit, and smelled like a damp shed. No curtains, no lampshades, stains on the carpets and walls and no... more

Without doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed in- the description of it that appears on various websites verges on the misleading. Rather than being a cool urban chic style hotel, it is a grotty B&B which hasn't been decorated properly in years. I think we must have stayed in the same top floor room as the previous reviewer... more

My boyfriend and I, and my best friend and her boyfriend, stayed at Urban House at the end of March. The service was great, however it was the rooms that let the place down. On the way up the stairs (they have about 6 flights of stairs, no lift, yes - we were on the top floor, you could see... more

This hotel is an excellent find, its about 1 min from the beach and 5 from Brighton pier. Its situated about 5 mins from the bars and restaurants of Kemp Town, and about 10 min wlk from the Lanes for excellent shopping. The hotel itself is clean, its in an old building so if its windy the windows rattle a... more

Urban House is a modern day rarity. A genuine family run hotel with good old fashioned customer care at its heart. Rooms are modern, clean and tidy - spa facilities are compact but first class, the bar is cosy, funky and great value for money and the hotel's location is excellent.. It's not perfect, if you want perfection in Brighton... more
