We stayed here for 3 nights and prior to arrival was a little concerned because of some of the reviews I'd read of the hotel. However, we were pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel LÚnivers. The hotel staff are extremely charming and helpful and spoke great English. The hotel itself is well located, close to shops,... more

Hotel l’Univers Tours, France This hotel requires a substantial deposit at the time a reservation is made. Be careful of your finances, and keep your documentation handy. When I checked out, I didn’t have the deposit verification in hand, which was my mistake. The front desk clerk insisted there had been no deposit, and charged me the full amount at... more

This is a good hotel in all respects apart from the restaurant, where the service is arrogant and "couldn't care less" and the food can vary between merely dull and totally inedible. Stay here by all means, our room was good and location is great, once you have found it, but the restaurant, forget it and eat elsewhere! more

Room was a little on the small side, needs a lot of updating (ie Bathroom) but has just been taken over by a large hotel chain with a quality standard so I think it will happen in time. The breakfast was well worth the money though. more

We booked 3 rooms here for 3 nights in December. Checkin was very easy, staff were always pleasant and helpful. The location is excellent for walking all over the town. The rooms were larger than other hotels we stayed with on our holiday in France and Italy. Recommend Paul's Patisserie nearby for breakfast - good value and very friendly staff!... more

Nice hotel but could use a little spiffing-up. Bed/desk/lighting showed a bit of 'wear and tear.' Fortunately, room furnishings were not gaudy like in most French hotels. Our room was freshly painted which stilled smelled a bit. more

We needed a place to stay for the night and contacted the hotel who suggested a suite (at almost 500 euros) for our family of four. The so called suite was opposite the lift in the attic with no head room in the so called second bedroom. Dingy would have been a polite description and in no way worthy of... more

We checked into the Univers as "walk-in" guests off the street due to problems with our previous residence. We had to pay the full rack rate of 193 euros - which seemed expensive for a middle of the road 4 star hotel. The hotel is in a good location - immediately opposite the Hotel de Ville. It is within easy... more
