“Very good position”

Univers Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Scotland
Sep 26, 2008

My daughter and I have just returned from staying 4 nights in the Univers Hotel. We were given the choice between 2 rooms when we arrived so we chose the quiet room at the back, which was quiet apart from the plumbing noises from the adjoining rooms.

Our beds were comfortable but there were no shelves or drawers in the room, only a wardrode, so we had to live out of our suitcases. There was a tiny TV on the wall with French channels but it did have BBC world news.

There was no shower curtain and the bathroom did get rather wet, but nice soap and shower gel was provided each day.

The lighting in the stairs was dangerously poor and I would recommend people take extra care when walking up and down the stairs if not using the lift.

Breakfast was OK and saved you finding somewhere else to eat. Cereal and milk, tinned fruit and yoghurt, toast, butter marmalade or jam, ham, cheese and croisants, coffee, tea, orange or apple juice. The cereal dishes were strange and only teaspoons were provided and things did keep running out. Don't leave it until the last minute to go for breakfast or everything will be gone!

Now definitely the best thing about the hotel was the position. Very central and right on a tram route. Easy to get to the beach and the old town and the train station.

But I would recommend it to people and go back there myself. Next time I would take a travel kettle and tea and coffee as I needed a cup when I got back to the room after doing so much walking during the day.

“great location, nice clean hotel”

Univers Hotel

Sep 22, 2008

We were offered this hotel after arriving in Nice and having found our hotel was disgusting. This was offered by the tour company and we did not know anything about it so we were pleasantly surprised that the hotel was modern, clean and well situated by Place massena. We were close to rail and train stations and the old town. The breakfast is continental and adequate, i would recommend this hotel to anyone going there for a weekend break

“Good location, good for singles”

Univers Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Tallinn
Sep 18, 2008

I stayed in this hotel with my friends at time of Monaco F1 Grand Prix 2008 for 4 nights.
We choose this hotel for excellent location in centre and for very close location in reference to railway station.
Staff in reception was friendly and working very fast.
Room at 4th floor was clean, but very small and impractical. For example - if you want open wardrobe you must move your suitcase (no special place for it in room than in front of wardrobe) ...or if friend was sit at writing desk and I wanted to go to bathroom I must exceed the beds. Bathroom was in normal dimensions, clean and bright.
Noise insulation between rooms was bad. We hear almost every moving of neighbours.
Breakfast was continental. Only croissants, ham and cheese and drinks. Service was normal.
Hotel haven't got car parking. It was problem of most Nice-centre hotels. We used public priced parking-house at distance of 700m, because finding parking place in streets of Nice-centre is almost impossible in season.
I recommend this hotel for singles for few nights, because location was very good and staff was OK.

“Nice hotel, central location”

Univers Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Finland
Aug 13, 2008

We stayed for three nights and had a great time. The hotel staff was friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was ok, too. The location of the hotel was excellent, the shops were just around the corner and there wasn't a long way to go to the beach either. We are definitely coming back next year!

“Bitterly disappointed”

Univers Hotel

1 of 5 stars
West Yorkshire (UK)
Jun 13, 2008

My fiancee and myself were arriving at the hotel at different times. Me 13.00 and he 17.00. I fore-warned the reception staff on arrival and check-in and was assured this would be fine. When my fiance arrived, because they had not registered me on their computer system he was told that I had not arrived and they did not let him check in. As a result my fiance spent 4 hours in a bar opposite the hotel watching for me and checking with the hotel staff every hour just in case he had missed me. All this time I was in my hotel room unaware of what was going on.

Unfortunately I found the hotel reception staff to have no knowledge of customer service skills. They were very straight faced and serious all the time and I felt it bordered on impoliteness. I actually felt quite uncomfortable staying at the hotel.

My room 305 was a very small double room with a very small flat screen TV placed at such a height that any time spent looking at it would I'm sure result in neck pain.

The bathroom was very tiny. The shower cubicle had a dirty shower curtain and mould infested grout between the tiling.

I'm afraid I wouldn't stay at this hotel again. It was definately over-priced too.
