The service offer is great for the price. We were able to get our E-Mountain Bike in our room to charge for the night. The beds are to stiff but the place is quiet. The pool area was much appreciated after a long mountain bike ride!

The sauna/ pool area was really impressive. The rooms were clean. The doors didn't swing open smoothly. It felt like the hotel was a repurposed building. They have done a good job of making things decent but it still has a bit of an old building feel

Bien déçu de mon expérience. La chambre : taie oreillier tâché, robinet non fixer, la porte de la salle de bain difficile a ouvrir/fermer, elle frotte le plancher. Tapis des corridors sale, spa ne fonctionne pas et a l'accueil on nous dis qu'il sera réparer dans la haute saison. Piscine parfaite pour des enfants, trop petite pour des adultes.

Me alojé en el Hotel Universel por una noche. El hotel está un poco avejentado y necesitaría inversiones mayores para ponerno a nivel, pero no es caro y está lo suficientemente limpio. Además, el personal fue gentil y profesional. Si usted no es exigente o delicado, me parece que esta es una excelente opción.

Comfy beds, nice surroundings, Boston Puzza next door. Terrible smell of chlorine in the pool area - easy to avoid though. Considering the price - good!
