    Loved Alma, the hotel was fine right in the center of the city. The beds were very comfy as were the pillows. Location: the property was short walk to the restaurant, downtown pubs, the river. Had brunch in the Microbrasserie Lion Bleu, located nearby.

    The staff at check-in were friendly and the room was nice. the modern bathroom was a plus, although the shower felt a bit unsafe without grip tiles or a rail. the towels and sheets smelled fresh. the location was convenient, close to the river and downtown. the front desk staff were helpful and could speak English. a positive experience at Universel. Cons: Hard to think of anything 🤔.
