Hotel De l'Univers

Superb

Very good stop to visit...

Liked: Cozy place, the best experience was with the lady in front desk, very professional, kindly, helpful and friendly.Very good location, close to the places we wanted to visit.

Decent and well located

Liked: Booked this hotel in Caen for friends and myself as it was close to the Normandy landing beaches which we planned to visit over a few days. Clean and tidy but very basic. Also, there is no lift, only stairs to the upper floors. Reasonable bearkfast at an addiditional fee. Parking was simple as there is a large car park opposite. I would suggest setting up an Indigo Parking (parking management company) account in advance to make life easier as there are barriers on entry and exit. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.
Disliked: Be aware that there is no lift at this property and those with any walking difficulty may have an issue accessing the rooms.

Very good

Great location and an experience...

Liked: Staying at l'Hôtel de l'Univers made me think of what it would be like if you had a friend with a room in Caen in a great location and who let you stay there. You appreciate the location and are happy with the general cleanliness of the place, but there are a few quirks or overlooked areas, notably the lack of mattress covers (just sheets on a mattress), or the fact that if you're not out for the day by a certain time, no one will come to do housekeeping. But like a friend, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The room overall was comfortable and convenient, and the location was great, close to pretty much everything in the center of the city, as well as to a bus line that takes you directly to the Caen Memorial. And just outside on Sunday is the huge market that has great street food.
Disliked: If you aren't used to noise, this could be a very tricky place to stay. The location is great and the hotel itself is quiet but the street outside is very noisy at night and in the early morning, due to there being lots of bars and restaurants. If you come during hot weather, it would be even more difficult because you'll probably have to leave the window open, as the hotel isn't air conditioned. The beds also should ideally have a mattress cover over the mattress, not just a sheet, in my opinion. The toilet and bathroom (private in our room) should have better ventilation. The hotel is also a bit more like a B&B, with a front desk that closes at certain times and cleaning that only happens within a very small time slot in the morning. Overall though a nice place to stay, with an incredibly kind staff.
