Univers Hotel

Our room was tiny and everything was dirty. The pillow and bed spread had blood on them (I did manage to get them changed). The bathroom smelt and was full of mould: would not recommend. We did not even try the breakfast given the state of the rooms. The positive is that the location cannot be beaten!

Had a lovely stay in nice in this hotel. Having read some of the comments we were apprehensive, but had no reason to be the hotel is typical of a city centre and the room was very clean and bright. breakfast is basic, with fruit cereals ham cheese and fresh rolls. the location is great as you are 5 mins from the front, and ten mins from the station which we used to go to monaco and antibes. I think some people expect too much from city centre hotels, and this is very adequate and in a very good location for bars restaurants and everthing you... more

Like others I was worried about the reviews but was pleasantly suprised. The location was fantastic - in the centre and only a short walk form the beach! Clean facilities and breakfast was basic but ok. Double glazing was excellent too! Only negative feedback is that the air con was noisy and leaky and the toilet could have done with a bit of bleach! No concerns really! Loved Nice as a whole and will be venturing back soon!!

This best things this hotel have going for it are the location and the price. Having said that we had several problems over the week: (a) The cleaning crew broke a perfume bottle, and the management refused to provide any compensation, (b) the room (115) had a moist/rotten smell, (c) five days in a row we were promised an iron, but one was never provided, (d) the cleaning crew /twice/ threw away our contact lens cases, (e) the breakfast buffet was only once fully stocked. I am sure there are better options in... more

A party of 10 of us stayed in the Hotel Univers. The first impression is the overwhelming smell of toilets that hits you as you walk in the foyer. The rooms are clean but tiny. The worst thing was the appauling smell of raw sewage coming up the plug hole in the basin. The rooms had various outlooks. Ours was ok but very noisy as a tram system is being laid right outside the hotel. Our friends room over looked a grotty roof and wall. Breakfast was okish. However the staff were far from friendly and told us to leave and not talk. The staff in... more

Stayed at the hotel for five days recently and found it to be excellent value for money, the room wasnt the biggest in the world but made up for it in its cleanliness which we could not fault, all the staff were couteous and helpful the only problem we encountered was the breakfast staff not really understanding english so a bit of confusion there but other than that we had a lovely stay in a nice hotel right in the center of all the action..wonderful..

Stayed at this Hotel for 2 nights with a large group. Our room was Very small and had mold on the toilet and the toilet brush was black with mold too. Just disgusting. All You can smell is cigerette smoke everywhere. Really even as I blowed dryed my hair the air coming out stunk like smoke. There is construction all around the Hotel and it's noisy all day and night. And the worse...BED BUGS..I really debated whether to put this in the review but it is the truth. All over my Hands, Wrists and Ankles. It is terrible. My Room Mate... more

i was worried before arriving by all the bad reviews. i wonder what some people expect for their money! we found the hotel in an excellent location, staff were happy to give help when asked, room was clean and a good size, breakfast was basic but ok to get you started.we would stay there again,no problem.

I was terrified after reading some comments about this hotel as I had booked without my Husbands input and did not want him disappointed as we have stayed in some of the best in Europe and the States, but do you know what it was ok nothing to worry about at all. As long as the beds and bathroom are clean it is ok (so what there was no curtain for the shower big deal) after all it is only a base for a few days not meant to be home from home, we thought the breakfast area was fine too and they did have to keep filling the bread basket up but... more

Just returned from five days in Nice. Was a bit apprehensive about staying here after reading the bad reviews. However the hotel room was clean and the bathroom a lot bigger than other hotels. It was basic accomodation but them again most hotels in Europe are not up to the standard of our own hotels.The hotel couldn't have been more central and as we were out most of the day I would have no hesitation in returning here as the price was great we got a twin room with breakfast for 145 euro for 2
