A reasonable price for an good hotel with great location. It is next to the most alive part of the city, with windows that leave the noise outside. Rooms including bathroom are clean and big enough with coffee and tea. Bad side of staying is that if you travel with car there is no hotel parking leaving you to catch... More

This hotel is located on "harbor" and has easy pay parking accross the street. The rooms were small but clean and the cost is reasonable. The front desk staff was freindly. The windows were new double pain glass and the rooms were acceptably quiet. Be advised there is no elevator and some rooms face the back side of the building... More

This is a simple hotel with no extras, but if you really get what you pay for; the location is very good, the rooms ok and clean, and the staff are very helpful and nice and welcoming people. I will really recomend it -... More

As in many other cities in France, the service in the hotel makes you forgive them some other things. Nikolas advised us everything we need and even exceeded our expectations in his hospitality and willing to communicate in good English. Seems we had the smallest room (203 if I am not mistaken), but with biggest bathroom (we've rechecked on evacuation... More

We were quite satisfied with Hotel L'Univers. Typically small room, of course, but the bathroom was bigger than I expected (still small, but not terribly so), and quite modern and clean. Good friendly and helpful service at the front desk. Excellent location downtown. Recommended!

The owner of this hotel is absolutely terrific. He goes out of his way to do anything he can to make your stay a positive experience. He recommends restaurants in the area and the location is centrally located to all attractions. Our only complaint was our room was over a Irish Pub & thus was very noisy until closing. The... More

Our room clearly a recent refurb to a high standard. Hotel recently under new management (excellent English spoken) who are trying very hard. Breakfast is no-frills but perfectly adequate. Free parking overnight in the adjacent town square. We had a room on the corner of the building which gave a lovely view down the harbourside. But - the hotel is... More

I reserved a couple of months in advance, and although they asked for my credit card number, they advised me that they wouldn't charge a deposit. I just had to pay when I got there, and 57 euro for a room with a queen bed, bathroom with a nice tub and a great view of the port, is a pretty... More
