I booked 3 nights at the Husa Universal as a cheaper option having stayed at the San Martin Pinariuo. At 40 Euro's per night I didn't expect much, and that's what I got. The carpets are torn and dirty, the walls damaged, the room itself was OK, although the window over a closed atrium where someone practised his saxophone in... More

My boyfriend and I visited Santiago for the weekend and stayed in this hotel for two nights. We had originally been torn between this hotel and another one in the Husa chain which had a 3-star rating but was a bit further out of the centre. I'm glad we chose this one, as the location couldn't have been better. It's... More

Unless you are a backpacker or a peregrine on a very tight budget try to pick another hotel. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious but no amenities whatsoever, very, very basic. If you are driving there's an underground parking garage across the street, 12 Euro a day, very convenient! The hotel is 10 min walk from Santiago's Cathedral. The internet is... More

While the relative age of the Husa Universal shows somewhat in the public areas (lobby, lift etc) my room was comfortable and had an interesting, if not picturesque, view over a busy square. Noise could be an issue for some travellers, despite the double windows: but I always travel with ear plugs anyway. No WiFi or Internet access at all,... More

Even though the hotel has seen better days and would need some refurbishing, the room was clean and good value for money (53€/night). The location at the central Plaza de Galicia just five minutes from the historical center is excellent. We asked (and got) a room to the backyard, which was reasonably quiet. All in all its convenient place to... More

This hotel cost about GBP38 for a double/twin/single room. The beds are clean although the decor has seen better days. A review I read commented that there was quite a bit of road noise and thats a fair point but if you are a sound sleeper (or can return to sleep), which we all could, then this hotel is too... More

Admittedly the Universal isn't hugely expensive; especially not when you consider it's right in to the centre of town. However, you really do need air con, which - in my room at least - it just doesn't have. As a result, it was far too hot in bed, and even on a day when there had been rain and it... More
