10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed at Hotel Universel several times while visiting family. It is always clean, comfortable, reasonably priced, and very conveniently located to many of Montreals restaurants and green spaces. Staff are friendly and helpful. This is why Hotel Universel is our go-to place to stay. Definitely recommend.

It was a great location with free parking. Pool was old but water clean. Bathroom clean with nice counter top space. Easy walk to Olympic Village and beautiful botanical gardens. Easy uber ride to down town Montréal for great AYCE sushi. Most people speak French and English in tourist related establishments.

Little bit expensive hotel. Location is not busy, but it was nice to be close to the Olympic village, stadium. Free parking at the hotel. Metro is approximately 10 minutes walk. It is clean, not expensive. Ladies at the front desk were kind, helpful! My biggest issue with this hotel is the bathroom. You basically step in to the bathroom area. Open concept style. There is a sliding glass door to separate the toilet/bathtub from the sink. The bathroom should be more private in a hotel. Other than that, it was nice.
