"We had a nice one-night stay at Hotel Universel in Montreal. The location is great, with close proximity to several museums and attractions, which made it really convenient for a short trip. Walkable distance to the planetarium and biodome, which we visited. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated.
The hotel itself does feel a bit dated, and that shows in both the building and the rooms. While our room seemed clean enough, it definitely gave off an older vibe. The free parking was a nice perk, but the lot could use better maintenance.
On the positive side, the swimming pool was a highlight—clean, warm, and enjoyable. One downside was the noise level; we could hear people outside the room quite clearly, even late at night despite posted quiet hours.
Overall, a decent stay for a short visit—comfortable enough with some good amenities, but the property could benefit from some updates."
