“Hotel Universal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

I spent two nights at this hotel in October 2011. I have no special impression of it, but it was clean, the staff very friendly and receptionists speak English, if it's important for you. Maybe I was lucky, but I didn't suffer from any noise. I think< it's a good decision for this price. Of course, the room was rather small ( at least mine, it was a single room), but if you're coming to see the city, but not to sit in the room, it's a good choise. And I like the location. In the city centre and not up the hill. I can recommend it.

“Average hotel in great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

The hotel is in a great central location and ideally situated for visiting the central sights and shopping district. Although the hotel lobby has been updated recently and looks great in the photos, the rooms haven't been finished to the same standard which lets the hotel down.

The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable but are a little small and the one we stayed in faced into a gloomy internal courtyard, although they do have everything you need. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly & helpful, and the hotel has underground parking across the street (EUR14 per night) if you arrive by car.

“Good two Star Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

I stayed two nights at this small two stars hotel. I was part of a group of bikers. The hotel is comprised of 6 floors and is located very well in the middle of town. There is parking across the street (E14 per night) and loading and unloading is easy. The rooms are small but nice and clean and so was the bathroom. The rooms are a little dark and the one I was in was facing an inner court. There is free wifi but is terribly slow. The other thing which is unordinary is the 6th floor coffee shop, which seems to be ran apart from the hotel and I found to be sub standard compared with local food.

“Good value, good location, great staff.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

This is a very centrally located hotel. The front desk staff are very helpful and most sights, excluding the Alhambra, are a short walk away. Breakfast is served on their roof top terrace and is worth the few Euro. We enjoyed our stay here, and if you don't mind hopping a bus to the Alhambra, this would be a great base for your Granada explorations.

“Excellent value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

So central, so cheap, so friendly, great high speed wifi, they helped with our luggage and nothing was too much trouble. Very clean and comfortable, had an elevator, minibar, own en suite. Small double bed which was not a 5 star standard queen size bed but very comfortable and adequate for a short stay - all this for just 50 Euro per night for 2 people...we would definitely recommend it for value for money.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a view of the street.
