Grand Hotel de L'Univers

Charming, rather old fashioned hotel, in an ideal central location overlooking some very pretty public gardens. Great to have a bathtub instead of just a shower! Polite and friendly staff who were happy to help with a smile. The breakfast offered a good range of choice, and real coffee (not the usual machine stuff). The Perret car park recommended by the hotel is very convenient but costs 13 euros/24 hours, not 7.

Internal noise insulation could be better. Even though the hotel was quite empty, our sleep was disturbed by the shouting etc of unruly guests at four o'clock in the morning!

Superbly located on the high street of Amiens, this hotel is rather nice with a historic feeling. We picked this hotel as it was approx. 5 min walking distance from Amiens station, super handy if you're here only for a day. The front desk was super friendly and polite. Our room was on the top floor (there's an elevator), but we would recommend trying to use staircase at least once - the interior of the building is indeed historic and is a nice piece of early XX century architecture. The room was warm and comfy, we had everything that we needed. The breakfast was quite nice (way better than what you get in an ibis styles in Paris), the only challenge being that the hotel was full, and seemingly some guests had to wait a little longer to get seated.

WIFI connection could have been a little better, otherwise - no complaints whatsoever.

The hotel staff were very welcoming and friendly. The room was lovely and the bed was massive. We were very comfortable and my request for a bath, and a view of the street, was met which made the difference.

There was no heating in the room. When we asked we were informed it was due to the council not allowing heating until 3rd October, the day we left. Unfortunately we were soaking wet on Sunday, 2nd, as it rained all day and we were out at the Antiques fare all day and unable to dry any of our wet clothes, including my 1 and only coat!!! We were offered a heater but it wasn't adequate for our needs. It was a hidden inconvenience that we were not made aware of in advance of our stay.

We had been travelling for 30 hours from sydney, and although the check-in was at 2, they especially let us in at 12 The woman on reception could not have been more friendly or helpful. A beautiful room with lots of windows and doors onto the park and trees across the road. This is still a relatively old French 3 star hotel, so dont expect 6 star luxury but so well located and with welcoming staff. Everything you need.

I'm not sure about "Grand Hotel of the Universe", but this is a nice hotel in its category, with large, comfortable and nicely decorated rooms, which are well-priced. It is well-located, at one end of Amiens' pedestrianised central zone, very near the train station and an easy walk to all sights.

A lack of maintenance in some areas, with stains on the carpet in our room, a bathroom door mechanism that wasn't entirely functional and a slightly eccentric toilet cistern.

great stay, from arriving early the receptionist Wendy was more than accommodating, allowing us to store our bags whilst we explored Amiens waiting to check in. the room itself was lovely with balconies surrounding the room onto the busy streets below. great location for the Rederie on the door stop! breakfast smelt amazing but cannot comment as we didn’t stop for it. a great stay and looking to book for October again!

The room was very comfortable with the additional bonus of a balcony overlooking the square. The bathroom is well equipped and there was lots hanging space in the wardrobe. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The breakfast leaves a little to be desired. The coffee is among the worst I have had in France, the orange juice maker is loud and serves up small amounts of warm juice!

This hotel is located in a nice part of the city not far from the train station, the cathedral, St.Leu. Parking is a challenge because the city is trying to be as ecologically friendly as possible. In our case, we had a major problem with our van and we needed to stay a second night. They staff were very friendly, efficient and polite.

N/A!

The location was perfect from the train station. Our arrival was early and the receptionist was more than congenial. We knew we chose the right hotel! Wendy was superb! English was excellent and her smile has hospitality all over it! The room was what we expected for an older hotel. The amenities were very good, too. We appreciated the map, restaurant choice and nearby facilities. Highly recommend this as a place to stay.

Nothing!

Lovely spacious and characterful room right in the centre of the city. Staff very friendly and helpful and all spoke English well. Lovely breakfast room with lots of room between tables.

Breakfast was a bit lacking in variety, but no more so than most continental fares. No parking on site but there is an underground car park that is only a short walk away.
