The hotel is in a great location in Santiago, about 10 minutes from the Cathedral and near lots of retail and local shops and restaurants. Rooms were clean and bathrooms are modern. The receptionist helped us with transportation to the airport. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location

The hotel is renovated and nice. great location and very clean. They gave our room early and the lady at front desk was very nice. Our room was ok but we he last at the hall with no view at all.

The staff is very nice and very helpful. The hotel is clean, small but nice. The breakfast is also good. You have Zara and Massimo Dutti right next to the hotel which is a sin. From the airport you take the bus 6A and the bus stop is just at the entrance of the hotel. If I come again I will definitely stay at Hotel Universal.

Excellent location, many restaurants nearby, and easy to reach the main attractions such as the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The bus for most excursions is taken in front of the Hotel Universal. Breakfast is a basic one that helps mainly in the mornings when you have to leave quickly for the excursions, and you cannot take long. The staff are very cooperative and helpful.

6/10 Good

Good: the hotel was clean, comfy bed and staff were helpful. The hotel is 5 to 10 minutes walk from the cathedral, lots of local places to eat near by, and the bus to the airport stops just by the hotel. Bad: the room smell of damp a bit due to the water damage by the window. They were refurbishing parts of the hotel.

Very convenient, simple, clean room in the center of Santiago de Compostela. I arrived before check-in and left my luggage with the front desk staff while I went out. Then I got my key a little early once the room was ready. It was a good experience.

We had to change our room due to ventilation problems .The lady at the desk was very nice and responsive and gave us a room that was larger and more comfortable. Very happy 😃

We has a triple room. The room had enough space for us and our daughter of 17. She even had her own TV. Only one bathroom but toilet and shower in one room made it easy.

Friendly staff. Room was decently spaced and very clean. Breakfast was good:). Quiet at night. No screens on the windows but maybe that’s a Spain thing? Not sure. Enjoyed the location! I’d go back.

Theresa from USA

The hotel locates very close to the Santiago Basilica as well as the train station, within walking distance which was great for us. Very clean hotel and everything was comfortable. The staff did not communicate in English well but they were kind and very helpful as best they could. We would stay there again if we visited the Santiago de Compostela again.
