We had an excellent stay using the snowmobile package. The food was fantastic. Super staff service. Love that the spa is connected. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. We look forward to staying again.

My wife and I had an excellent one overnight stay at this excellent hotel on our way from Prince Edward Island to Ontario. Very nice people at the reception desk and restaurant. They were very kind to let us keep the luggage trolley in our room until we departed the next day. When I emailed the hotel earlier when doing my itinerary, I asked for a room on the top floor OR in the quietest possible area and yes, when we arrived, the room was on the top floor in a quiet area. Excellent! The reason I contacted this hotel directly is because I was able to speak or write directly to hotel staff. Second- and Third-Party booking agents are not the best way to make a reservation and room request. I have read many “poor” and “terrible” reviews of hotels regarding clients having reservation, booking, room problems, and others mainly because they do it via 2nd- and 3rd- Party booking agents. I did it the best way, directly with hotel staff. We also had supper at Boréal Univers Gourmand and the food and service was excellent. Hôtel Universel (Hôtel Universel Rivière-du-Loup) is the BEST HOTEL in Rivière-du-Loup. We hope to plan our next Rivière-du-Loup overnight at this hotel.

We have stayed at this hotel a few times because they have a variety of electric vehicle charging stations available on site, which is fantastic. The rooms are always clean and spacious and include recycling buckets (not all hotels do, unfortunately). On this most recent visit we were unable to take a bath because the plug wouldn't stay put, and there was no working fan to clear the steam from the shower. The lack of any strong overhead lighting meant I had to move the coffee maker to another spot so I could see what I was doing (not everyone has a Nespresso machine at home so some instructions would have been helpful). Our dinner meal in the restaurant was very tasty but a bit on the pricey side for what we received. I would likely stay here again but I hope that more care will be taken to ensure that necessary upkeep and repairs are done in a timely fashion.

We stopped here after a long drive. So it was very nice to arrive at a friendly, clean hotel that had a restaurant attached. Check in was seamless, staff were friendly. The restaurant was good with great service.

 Hello, I recently stayed at the RDL - on Oct 9. This hotel came with great recommendations- being perfect for travelling with children due to their amenities. My children love a hotel with a pool so we knew this was the chain to book with. Well, I am writing today because I’m disappointed in how I was misled with this booking. Your website shows a 5 star pool -the pool paint was chipping and the pool water was merky. The entire hotel facility was rundown. The slide was unsafe and was shaking back and forth when my kids went down it- we had to tell them to not use the slide. The “lifeguard” was on her phone the entire time. The pool facility was outdated and run down and needs a renovation to match the pictures on your Website. I am looking for a full refund and would like an explanation as to why your website pictures are misleading. This was a 2 star hotel that needs some serious upgrades. Also At both hotels English was a barrier and both front desk agents refused to speak with us in English. We had to get my daughter to communicate with them who is in French immersion. The room ac did not work and we were there during a heat wave early October. We called the front desk- no one came. I suffer enough from Hot flashes and as a result Our sleep was significantly Impacted. The list goes on… reservation # 114291187. Please confirm when a refund will be processed for my dissatisfaction.

Hotel has bilingual staff which made checkin a positive experience. Rooms are well designed and offer the use of technology for occupants to use. The bed was very comfortable as was the pillows, which made the stay. The hotel does not offer tv service but allows for streaming services. Would improve the experience with house coat/ bath robe accessible in room, along with mouth wash and other necessities.

Very beautiful hotel. The decor around the pool with multiple room balconies overlooking the pool was fantastic. I only caught a glimpse of the conference rooms but I could tell that everything was luxurious. I would highly recommend the hotel for any stay or for any conference. Absolutely loved it. Having said that, contrary to advices from travel magazines, I would not recommend leaving any valuables at the front desk for safekeeping. Late June of this year, I forgot an item in my room and I called immediately in the following hour after checking out. They had found it and they had my item in their hands during my call. Since I was returning to the hotel in a few days, I asked them to please store it at the front desk for safekeeping. They told me that it wasn’t a problem. Upon my return five days after, they told that they couldn’t find it even though that they specifically remembered having it in their hands. Suffice to say that the hotel now considered my item has a “lost item” and that they were not responsible for any lost items. I totally agreed with them on the definition of a “lost item”, but this was not a “lost item”, it was an item that was in their hands during my call. An item that I assumed would be safely stored at the front desk. After many emails, the hotel management did offer to cover half of the replacement cost even though that they maintained that they weren’t responsible. After I counter offered, I sadly never heard back from them. It is a superb hotel, but don’t leave any valuables at the front desk.
