The food here is really very good for a hotel of this kind. The buffet is especially good and you can go back as many times as you like and it is in addition to what you order. The desserts are just amazing. The staff, the service is all 5 star for a family run hotel and the can't do... More

This is a very nice hotel with very helpful and pleasant staff. The room had been recently refurbished and the hotel is just across the road from the sea front. It's quite a hike to Cervia but there is a public bus or do as most people do and hire a bike. Downsides are that Wifi was not accessible in... More

The front and first floor is recently renovated, but the rest of the hotel has not been refurbished since the 80s. The position of the hotel is perfect, right by the beach. Also the view is great, if your room faces the sea. Service is very good. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Breakfast is not very good. The... More

We have just returned from a family holiday in the Universal Hotel Cervia. The hotel is spotless and accomodation ( we had a Superior room) was extremely spacious. The highlight of the hotel is the food which offered eceptional value and quality. The full board option costs only 10 Euros a day more than 1/2 board and, as it offers... More

Cervia is a town full of Italian tourists. It is a simple seaside resort and if you requirementsd are not stringent then the Universal is as good as place as any along the beachfront. The rooms are clean and the reception welcoming. Given the number of restaurants and pizzerias serving great food nearbye we only have breakfast at the Universal.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Universal Hotel directly overlooks the sea and it is only 20 metres from the golden beach of the Riviera Romagnola. So, from their room our guests can admire a wonderful sight on the sea or, as an alternative, the large covered swimming pool, heated during wintertime.The pastel-coloured hotel facade, which has been recently renovated, makes this structure an elegant and refined picture. All the 117 rooms, 8 of which are family rooms, have the same romantic and delicate tones and they have their own balcony, a bathroom with a shower or a tub, a mini-bar and a safe-deposit box. The range of services is capped by faience ceramic floors, satellite TV, direct dialing phone, hair dryer, air conditioning and heating. For families there are also comfortable communicating rooms. Since good cooking is the strength of all the hotels belonging to the Select Hotels Collection, the Batani family aims primarily at a high-quality cuisine. The wide and bright restaurant, offering a panoramic view of the sea, proposes a la carte menus with tasty and genuine local and Italian dishes belonging to tradition, using always and exclusively fresh land and sea products. During summertime, evening entertainments for adults and daily mini-clubs for children up to 3 are organized. Right on the beach, at a short distance from the hotel, there is a beauty farm offering the guests beauty treatments at a special price.Among the services at your disposal: an internet point, an arcade equipped for children, a fitness area next to the swimming pool, unattended car park and garage on payment. ... more   less
