Extremely Satisfying place to stay!

It was a wonderful hotel to stay at. It was near the beach and a great place to walk for exercise. It was off season, so it was not busy with people. Great views, great restaurants and had a lovely meal. The breakfast was included and was absolutely fantastic. The staff were very friendly and professional.

Great location and quality hotel

Although it was after the summer season we were surprised how quiet the hotel and area was. The Universal in made up to two differently designed parts joined by a central lobby and uppper floor restaurant so it has different lifts going to different parts. Staff were really friendly and always very helpful. There is an underground garage (chargeable), as well as street parking but we had our car parked in the sister hotel across the side street. There are not many restaurants to eat at close by other than the hotel but a short drive takes you up to the marina / harbour area and centre of Cervia where there is a far wider choice. The hotel is a great central location for travelling around the area as well as being right across from the beach but it does not have any private area although ample options exist. Swimming pool is heated and was fantastic, as was the jaccuzi. Again ample loungers by the pool and umbrellas for shade. We were there with breakfast included which again was extensive and covered every option - really impressive. Rooms were smaller than some but typical of area and for age of hotel.No room safe and limited english TV channels if that is required. All in all an excellent Italian rated 4 star hotel which I would consider returning to if I was in the area.

4 stelle non meritate

Hotel a 4 stelle che dovrebbe averne 3 (o forse 2) Ero in viaggio per lavoro e tutte le sere si sentiva musica fino a tarda notte. La mia camera non era così bella, molto vecchia con apertura della doccia difettosa. Ho consumato al mini bar e il giorno dopo non è stato neanche fatto il refill, sono tornata la sera e non c’era neanche un po’ d’acqua. Al check out, nonostante ero di fretta (ero lì per lavoro non in vacanza come probabilmente gli altri clienti), mi hanno fatto aspettare 20 minuti per avere la ricevuta della tassa di soggiorno. Ciliegina sulla torta, ho chiesto di poter lasciare la macchina nel loro garage (garage vuoto), ma mi hanno detto che per lasciare la macchina altre 2h avrebbero applicato la tariffa giornaliera

Buona la piscina, c'è sempre sole o da un lato o dall'altro, nonostante sia tra i palazzi. L'area fitness appena possibile, buona la parte cardio, ma l'attrezzo per gli esercizi funziona appena. Colazione buona, ma bisogna fare attenzione alla sala giusta, ci sono insieme un 3 e un 4 stelle, che fanno colazione in sale attigue e con livelli diversi di qualità. Ho sentito clienti lamentarsi di aver sbagliato sala per scarsa informazione, anche io ho sbagliato il primo giorno. La chiave è ancora metallica e con grosso e scomodo portachiavi, preferisco le serrature elettroniche
