Hotel du L'Univers in Tours, France, is a beautiful old hotel, remodeled (at least on the 4th floor where we stayed), and with an exceptionally beautiful lobby. The staff is efficient, multi-lingual, and charming. The wi-fi is easily accessed, etc. The location of the hotel, near the train station (TGV to Montparnasse, Paris, etc) and a short distance from Old... More

We spent six days in Tours, France staying at the Hotel L'Univers. What a great place to stay. It's centrally located in the center city, about a 3 minute walk to the Tourism Center and local train station. There's a bullet train station in St. Pierre des Corps about a 20 minute (or less) cab ride to the hotel. All... More

Nice room, small desk, but big enough to work on a laptop. Bath was very nice with a large modern shower. Clean, seemed to be newly renovated. Funky purple hallway walls, but who cares. Only problem was that our “breakfast included” was not. I showed the receptionist our travel agent’s email detailing that the breakfast was included. I don’t know... More

Very nicely renovated rooms and very quiet despite its central location. Walking distance from the station with TGV connection to Paris. Rates are very reasonable for a 4 star hotel of this quality. Several excellent restaurants in the neighborhood. This is a perfect base to explore the Loire valley.

This hotel is half way through a refurbishment. Be aware that you could be allocated a very tired and dated room without the facilities claimed to be in all rooms. The carpet in our room was at least ten years old and the walls showed marks and damage where cases and furniture had hit them. The TV was modern but... More

This hotel said 4stars. It did not seem like a 4star hotel to me especially the room. Our 3star in Paris was nicer. All that said I liked the hotel just think it should have 3stars. Best part was the location. We were taking the train and the hotel is very close so we could walk. Then it was an... More

First off, our ultimate stay here was great. That said, it started as much less than great. We booked the stay through a European travel agency at a slightly better rate than publicly available. While I suggest this route, you need to make sure you DEMAND one of the refurbished rooms. We were initially put in Room 514 (I think)... More

We chose this hotel following recent good reviews,and were not disappointed.The first impression is of a rather insignificant entrance on a busy boulevard,but ,once through the (very large) revolving door,there is a fine two storey hall.Our room(215) faced the inner courtyard,and had no traffic noise.The refurbishment may not yet extend to other rooms,but ours was newly decorated,though incorporating some elegant...

I have stayed here many times over the last 10 years but this was the first time since bedrooms and dining room were refurbished by the Oceania Group. We arrived on Friday for the Classic Lemans event, having booked on line in March. The rooms had been advertised in an email the week before but I didn't know until I... More
