Quaint hotel in centre of city, if you want to be right there this is the choice. The down side it can be a bit on the noisy side from the businesses on the street.

Hôtel bien situé, bonne litterie et bon état général. Le personnel est aimable.
Seul problème : rue très bruyante la nuit jusqu'à 4h du matin. Isolation phonique avec l'extérieur quasi-inexistante et pas tellement mieux entre les chambres...

La camera non è molto grande. Gli interni hanno un cattivo odore di vecchio. Non c'è ascensore anche il titolare si è prestato ad aiutarci. Il bagno è separato in due ambienti zona wc piccolissimo e zona lavabo/doccia abbastanza ccomodo. Le pulizie lasciavano desiderare.
Excellent accueil, chambre de petite taille mais suffisante et bien équipée, petit déjeuner parfait. Rien ne m'a déplu.
Je retournerai à L'Univers si j'ai besoin d'être sur Caen deux jours de suite.

Night on the town
Small hotel, small rooms, but great location for the night life. It is perfectly adequate for a nights sleep. It is clean and tidy, at good price. It is not for a long stay but for a night or two perfectly adequate. It is whatbit is,it ain't whatbit aint!

Great stay
I only stayed one night, but was very comfortable. Great place to stay, very central and staff were friendly and helpful. There is no elevator, so if you have an accessibility issue I would not recommend this location, but other than that everything was fantastic.
