This was a great place to relax for a few days before heading home. Lovely quaint hotel with everything that you need. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. Easy access to walk to shopping and restaurants. Found that most shops didn’t open till about 11:00 am and closed at 6:00 pm. So plan your shopping around those hours. Would stay there again!

Matthew

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
While I’ve been a huge fan of this hotel and of Utrecht - this stay was marred by a disastrous New Year’s Eve dinner the hotel offered at their brasserie. They touted it when calling us before hand so we thought ok. 400euros for poor service, and poorer food. In fact, we had to leave before complete because of how I’ll we both felt. The food poisoning was so bad we spent the next day (New Years) in bed and had to alter our plans to stay an additional night to recover. When I told reception they “promised to speak to management and pass along and make it right”. Nothing ever happened after that. A shame that such a beautiful property is essentially now seen as unsafe not only by their onsite offerings, but by a staff that does not take the well being of its guests seriously.

Beautiful suite with all what we need. But unfortunately, I didn't sleep. Mattress too soft, too warm under the cover and too cold outside. Heard the neighbors at 5 am talking normally just behind the wall... Breakfast amazing.
