I stayed at the Universal for 11 nights. My room was clean, the sheets and blankets as good as new, and attended to every day. It was quiet with no traffic noise and the occasional sounds from other rooms stopped at a reasonable hour. The staff were all friendly, helpful and simpatico. The hotel is in an excellent location about 8 minutes walk to the Cathedral the heart of historic Murcia. The Universal is completely unpretentious, great value for money and I will definitely return.

I checked in at the hotel and 15 minutes later when I found another hotel I checked out. The room had a terrible musty smell, the TV was smaller than my laptop monitor. the “sofabed” was bad looking. Not to mention the horrible intense yellow color on the walls of the room. The only good experience was the guys at the reception

Really poor

I always try to be positive, but, this was one of the poorest hotels we have stayed at. As we approached the hotel we thought it was shut as it was so dimly lit. The receptionist wasn't positive or welcoming, reflecting the ambience in the foyer. The bedroom was very small room and an even smaller bathroom. Mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. We could hear everything from the next rooms..... everything! As people came in through the night their movements and chatter resonated through our room. The bedding smelled stale and the room had the odour of smoking. There was a total of one electrical socket for two people by the beds, but no electrical socket by the desk and chair. The TV was so small it was virtually impossible to see from being in bed. The one positive - the shower was warm. If we could have left for another hotel after checking in, we would have. In light of our experience we chose not to have breakfast, in preference using one of the cafeterias in the vicinity.

I spent here a couple of nights. The property is very clean, simple but with all things you may need. In a very good position, few minutes walking from the cathedral. The staff is friendly, kind and ready to help: shout out for the receptionist who made my check-in and check-out (Jose if I'm not wrong) who's been always super kind, cheerful Ang happy to help and give good advice. Thanks. Highly recommend.
