Great location, clean room, comfortable bed, good wifi, and pleasant staff. My si ngle room was tiny but had everything i needed. Breakfast 8 euro was limited. Very noisy! Noise from elevator, room next door, plumbing noises, and hallway. Reasonable rate.

JOSE RAUL COLON, Bayamon

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Excellent location, many restaurants nearby, and easy to reach the main attractions such as the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The bus for most excursions is taken in front of the Hotel Universal. Breakfast is a basic one that helps mainly in the mornings when you have to leave quickly for the excursions, and you cannot take long. The staff are very cooperative and helpful.
