Last stop of my Camino, the bus to the airport in front of the hotel. Taxi stop also very near the hotel

Linawaty, Indonesia

The front desk staff was exceptional. They not only provided a ton of information for various resources we needed but, because of our limited Spanish, called us a taxi and when we needed to return they called to have us picked up and brought back.

Kevin, United States of America

The staff was awesome...so helpful. Stored a bag of belongings for us for 4 days while we walked to Fisterra at no charge. Assisted us to get to an airport over 3 hours away.

Marta, United States of America

The gentleman on the front desk was a great help when booking into hotel not only to us but on watching him working you could see how interested he was in his work a big thanks

Bernard, Ireland

Our room was very spacious with privacy for the 3rd bed. We slept very well. The whole staff was very friendly and efficient.

John, United States of America

I have stayed in four other hotels in Santiago in the past 2 years. Hotel Universal was far and away the best value, best location, best service and quiet. I will make this hotel my first choice in the future.

Check out is 12pm! Extreme close the best tapas bars and restaurants. It's in the heart of the city and close to the catedral. Shops are just nearby. Good value for the money. Nice, clean and cosy.

“A great choice”

Nothing that I can think of.
The hotel is located in the centre of the town and a short walk to the cathedral and numerous cafes and restaurants. The public underground carpark is just across from the entrance to the hotel which is very convenient. The hotel appears to have been recently renovated and the facilities in the rooms were more than we were expecting for the price we paid. The reception staff were always extremely friendly and informative. We would be more than happy to stay there again.

Some pieces of furniture need to be repaired or changed. It's was difficult to close the shutters, too old in my opinion. The radiators or heaters a bit old as well. The bathroom was well equipped and renovated. I have stayed in another occasion and the room was better, it depends on the room, anyway all rooms are good. It's worth booking a room here.
The reception staff were very kind and helpful. The accommodation is good in general. The hotel is in a good location, in the centre, near lots of restaurants and shops. The old town is one minute distance walking. Bus stop step out of the hotel,even you can take the airport line right there.
