The staff is very nice and very helpful. The hotel is clean, small but nice. The breakfast is also good. You have Zara and Massimo Dutti right next to the hotel which is a sin. From the airport you take the bus 6A and the bus stop is just at the entrance of the hotel. If I come again I will definitely stay at Hotel Universal.
