On this visit I was placed in a room with French doors that opened onto a balcony with cocktail table and a scenic view. Just as before the room, staff, a/c, and WiFi were all ideal. Hotel Univers is a hidden gem just outside of Old Town.

Haus

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel’s location is absolutely exceptional — perfect for exploring the city, beaches, restaurants, and everything nearby. The cleanliness was also outstanding, and housekeeping did a great job throughout my stay. However, I was genuinely surprised that this is rated as a four-star hotel when the rooms offer almost no amenities. There was no complimentary water, no coffee or tea setup, and not even basic toiletries like body lotion. It honestly felt more like a very clean bed-and-breakfast than a proper four-star experience. If you value location and cleanliness above all else, this hotel does deliver. But in terms of comfort and in-room amenities, it falls short of what you would normally expect from a four-star property.
