Très accueillant et chaleureux

Excellent rapport qualité prix, plein d'énergie d'hier et la saison d'étudiants et c'est clair que les services disponibles le rend une destination toute l'année, inclus une vraie luxe en été et la basse saison universitaire. Il paraît être associé avec autres marques dans les quartiers historiques, et j'ai hâte de les découvrir, grâce à l'expérience moderne et branché de l'hôtel Universel et notamment toute sa personnel.

Difficultés à avoir 4 serviettes et 4 débarbouillettes par jour. Il a fallu attendre à 20h une journée pour pouvoir prendre nos douches. Une seule machine à café qui à 2$ dans létablisssment. Piscine beaucoup trop petite 10 personnes et plus de place. Salle darcade désuète.

Asked to have the room cleaned and they didn’t get it done til I asked for a second time at 2 pm and they changed my towels and the towels they put were dirty I had to go out and ask the housekeeping for new towels again. Overall the hotel is good but the service need to be improved.

The water of the pool was not heated. Junk and plastics bottles everywhere in the pool yard. The room urgently needs some urgent repairs specially the heater, also note that the curtain was over the heater which can cause fire. It’s not value for money not recommended.

Overall it's a middle class family hotel, if you intend on having a peacefully stay ,it is not the place for you. The hotel is located near everything ...look up for The Pyramid if your looking for food during your stay . The room was ok overall considering the age of the building ...

Horrible parking layout. Basic services are hard to get ( room cleaning/ fresh sheets or towels), pool area was not clean or upkept. Water damage and leaking in hallways. Very limited tv, beds uncomfortable, no decor. Very noisy, and way too expensive for what you get. This place needs major renovations and new management.
