Universal Hotel

I stayed at Hotel Universal during the Ironman weekend and I had a great stay. The room was clean, the location could not have been better with a great view over transition and the sea, the service was great and the breakfast buffet was also great. The only fault I would say is that it looks a bit dated and that it is a bit noisy in the sense that you can hear when other guests talk or use the toilet or do anything in their rooms. Still I had a 5/5 stay! Thank you and hope to be back again soon!

Lovely hotel in Cervia. We were there for 6 nights for the annual Ironman competition in Cervia. The hotel entrance is stunning with marble and glass. It is across the street from the beach with easy access to the multiple beach resorts. The staff is most welcoming and bi-lingual. The rooms are on the small side but this is the normal standard for Italy. Location is a bit of work as the train station is about 1.3 miles from the hotel and you either need to take a taxi or walk (30mins). The food is outstanding. The breakfast buffet is great with coffees, juices, Prosecco, dozens of types of pastries/breads, lots of fruits, yogurts and several hot items. If you get the half board which includes dinner this is an amazing deal (normally 38€ per person). The dinner includes a hot/cold appetizer salad bar, and 1st and 2nd entree and a dessert bar. Beware as the food is very good and we overate every night! The wait staff was terrific and knew every night to bring me a glass of red wine with my dinner. If we return to Cervia this is a must stay!

Well-sized rooms with a balcony facing the beach, well-cleaned, and good comfortable beds. What I would say stands out is the great meals, lunch, and dinner were fantastic during our conference. The view from the restaurant was excellent! Also a nice bar, but maybe too few varieties of beers. The terrasse at the entrance was great for both prosecco and coffee. Just across the street are some more great restaurants, worth mentioning is Saretina 152 which is open a little longer.

Colazione ottima stupenda piscina con idromassaggio posto ottimo sia per andare al mare sia per spostarsi per uscire la sera, staff giovane e cordiale, letto bello comodo Perfetto sia se sei da solo sia in compagnia (Foto-vista sul mare)

Siamo stati alcuni giorni presso questo Hotel durante il mese di agosto. Ci siamo trovati molto bene. Camere confortevoli, ma secondo noi, il vero punto di forza è la ristorazione. Breakfast memorabile!!! Dinner inappuntabile. Complimenti allo staff di sala!!! Torneremo!!!

Hotel 4 stelle. Bella la hall, personale cordiale e competente e presenza di ristorante e piscina. Ma per chi prenota con solo la colazione inclusa, non ne vale la pena. Corridoi dei piani delle camere bui e stretti. Camere piccole, arredamento antiquato e copriletto orrendo. Abbiamo pagato per un 4 stelle, ma la qualità del pernottamento da tre (nonostante ci siano Hotel a 3 stelle con camere e ambiente molto migliori). Aspettative alte e risultato deludente.
