About this place Hotel Universel

Hotel Universel is a no‑frills, gay‑friendly chain property on Rue Sherbrooke Est in Hochelaga‑Maisonneuve, convenient to Montreal’s Olympic sites. The Olympic Stadium, Biodome and Saputo Stadium are all within a 15‑minute walk, and the Botanical Garden sits roughly 1.2 km away. It’s a short stroll to the green‑line stations that drop you into the Village, so a quick metro ride gets you to the nightlife. Inside, the hotel offers a restaurant, both indoor and outdoor pools, a business centre, free Wi‑Fi and, unusually for the city, free parking. The rooms are functional rather than flashy, and the pools are clean enough for a quick dip after a game. Drivers will appreciate the parking, families the proximity to the parks, and anyone with tickets to the stadium will find the walk‑up location hard to beat.

I would not recommend this property, particularly for travelers visiting from Ontario with vehicles. During my stay, someone attempted to break into my car and completely smashed the passenger-side window. Although the theft was not successful, the incident was very distressing. I reported the matter to the hotel; however, I was disappointed with the response. The hotel did not appear to take responsibility for the security concerns, nor did they offer any goodwill gesture, compensation, or accommodation following the incident. While my experience may not reflect every guest’s stay, I would encourage visitors to exercise caution when parking their vehicles on the property and to avoid leaving any valuables inside.
