For our Brighton holiday, decided to stay at Una Hotel
I picked the hotel as it was right by the Metropole where I was playing Poker, but was also very handy for the town centre and was literally a stones throw from the beach. As we found during the week, the location couldn’t really have been better, being right by the (derelict) West Pier
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and were more than happy to help.
The facilities in the hotel are limited to the bar, but is open 24 hours (as is the reception) and the bar staff certainly knew how to mix up the cocktails!
Breakfast was relatively basic, but was very nice and plentiful.
As the hotel is a Georgian terrace house, all the rooms are different. The room we picked was “Maja” which was very comfortable and just about big enough for the two of us and having the King size bed was a nice luxury.
The downsides to the hotel were firstly the tiny shower room, which was really too small to be comfortable in, but just about did the job. There was also a lot of noise at all hours with guests coming up the stairs or lift and/or moving around their room. I guess this is due to the nature of the house and lack on modern sound proofing. The other issue isn’t really the hotels fault, (other than a lack of double glazing) but the seagulls were pretty noisy and seemed to have random screeching competitions at random times during the night and early hours of the morning. I have never heard such a racket at any other coastal location!
Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and were glad we picked the Una hotel. Would certainly be happy to stay there again.
