My stay at Hotel Universel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient for accessing the bus to tourist sights, which was a plus. but the room condition left much to be desired. Although the pool and jacuzzi looked inviting from the outside, the overall cleanliness and comfort were lacking. I appreciated the helpful staff, yet the dismal decor and inadequate room maintenance overshadowed my experience.
Rooms

The room was poorly maintained with old furniture and mold present. I faced issues with the coffee maker and received inadequate cleaning service during my stay. While I got laminate flooring which seemed like an upgrade, the room felt dark and dungeon-like.
Service

The front desk staff were polite and eager to assist with questions about the bus schedule. However, the overall service was hindered by a lack of room cleaning and the delivery of necessary items taking longer than expected.

The hotel's location is handy as the bus stop is directly outside, making it easy to reach Old Quebec City. I enjoyed being close to attractions and restaurants, which added convenience to our trip.

Dining options were limited and not particularly healthy. Breakfast was chaotic, especially on the second morning, and the overall quality did not match what I've experienced at other hotels during similar trips.

The pool area seemed small and not well-kept, which reflected poorly on the hotel's overall facilities. I experienced a lack of attention to cleanliness in common areas, and there were safety concerns regarding fire exits that made me uneasy.

I found the location excellent, especially for accessing various attractions. however, the hotel itself felt quite dated. The cleanliness of my room was a plus, yet the dated furniture and issues like a noisy environment made my stay less enjoyable. The facilities, while nice for families, could definitely use some improvements.

The facilities had a vibrant atmosphere, especially the pool area for kids. however, the pool itself was small and always crowded, which detracted from the experience. The gym equipment could also use an upgrade.

My stay at Hotel Universel was quite a mix. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and accommodating, especially when I inquired about switching to a better room. However, the room initially assigned to me was in a basement with no natural light, which was disappointing. The pool area was nice but a bit crowded, and the hot water issues on my last day really impacted my experience. Overall, it could use some updates, but the hotel is conveniently located near Boston Pizza and has a decent atmosphere. 🌟
