Fabulous stay in downtown Utrecht.

Fabulous location, close to everything. Great rooms, superb staff.

10.0 / 10.0

Very enjoyable stay in a great location.

This was our first stay at this hotel. We stayed two nights. Every aspect of our stay was excellent from car parking to check into the room itself and the check out. We only dined in the bar in the evening and the food here was good quality well prepared food. Service in the bar was excellent. Service at breakfast was very good. All the staff we met were pleasant and professional. The concierge was great. Breakfast was good quality with a range of hot and cold options from the buffet or small selection of freshly cooked items from a menu. The hotel itself has an interesting history and the location is very good, just a few minutes walk to the old town and the Dom. we did not use the spa or gym but they seemed to be nice hotel style facilities. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Nothing comes to mind, this is an excellent hotel.

Disapointing!

The location is great, that is undisputable

We stayed here with my wife and were honestly very disappointed, especially given the high price tag. The hotel simply does not live up to its positioning. Many details felt cheap and neglected: low-quality toiletries and toilet paper, dated interiors, and questionable cleanliness. The wellness area had visible mold, the building was cold during winter, and proper heating seemed to be lacking. Staff were unfriendly, breakfast was underwhelming with items served cold, and the overall atmosphere felt careless rather than welcoming. To make matters worse, we were charged extra for parking and didn’t even get a complimentary bottle of mineral water in the room. For a hotel at this price level, this feels like a rip-off. Definitely not worth the money.

A great luxury hotel. Nice for when you want to do Utrecht in style.

Amazing breakfast, great location and a nice 'luxury' stay that lived up to the price tag. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The sauna in the spa needs some maintenance as it doesn't quite come up to temperature.

Great location, friendly staff, historic building. Excellent breakfast

Gates were randomly locked on some evenings, but not others- had to actually call a member of staff to come from reception to let me in. Also wanted 50Euros for an hour late checkout

Breakfast is always pretty good.

This time we got a room with a very restricted view which, compared with rooms we had on previous stays, was "not great"!

Ideal location , we stay at the hotel when visiting our daughter on a regular basis, always friendly and accommodating when she comes to see us or drops anything off we need before we arrive.

N/A as perfect , but would like a discount

Excellent Hotel. Great Facilities. Great Location. Would Return.

We absolutely loved this hotel. We arrived to Utrecht by train and the hotel was about 5 mins walk from the train station. The front of the hotel is very elegant. The staff were extremely friendly and professional. We walked to our room through the hotel gardens and the gardens were lovely. Our room was excellent. Very big, plenty of space for two of us. Clean and comfortable. The bed was very big and comfortable. The hotel provided us with robes and slippers. We used the spa area every day of our stay. The hotel has a back entrance which leads you straight into the town centre. We would definitely return to this hotel.

Nothing.

9.0 / 10.0

An really comfortable hotel, with an established and traditional vibe.

Very well planned, bright, clean, modern hotel room. Separate bathroom and toilet. All facilities in excellent order and working well. Lovely breakfast served in the main dining room by attentive staff. Cooked options included and cooked to order. Safe and secure space to store touring bicycles.

It is a large hotel, so a little lacking in character.

7.0 / 10.0

Great location.

Good location within ten minutes' walk of the station, with a useful back entrance closer to the centre of activities. Friendly staff at breakfast, and a great choice of foods. I didn't sit out in the garden terrace, but it did look very attractive.

Had a ground floor room overlooking a skip and some bins, which was a little disappointing. As is always the case with grand hotels, rooms in the modern annex lacked character. The 'spa' facilities were underwhelming: a lot of technology that didn't work.

Relaxing, luxurious and historical trip to Utrecht

The hotel was fabulous. Steeped in history, great location and access to beautiful Utrecht. Beds were very comfortable Spa facilities and gym were a nice bonus especially as it was quiet and we had it to ourselves!

We didn’t have breakfast as we felt it was far too expensive which was a shame as we would have e liked to experience it

Perfect for our 1 night stay

Great location within a few minutes walk to the centre of Utrecht, beautiful grounds & very convenient if travelling by car with plenty of parking. Nice courtyard to have drinks. Our room in a separate building was a good size with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was small but functional. The room also had a small balcony.

The balcony had no chairs to sit on as shown on the photos & there were several old leaves lying around & this is probably the only hotel we have ever stayed in that didn’t give a complimentary bottle of water in the room.

Special requests lost in communication

Beautiful buildings and interior. Very nice room, very comfortable. Perfect location. A really Grand Hotel.

What you expect in a top class hotel is that they do their utmost to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I had a special request for breakfast, Not very special one. But it will cost some effort (cooking rice). I asked it the day before (6pm). The receptionist told me she will try to let it happen. But the next morning the staff was not even aware of the request. I expected more.

A good luxury option in Utrecht

A quiet sanctuary during the craziness of Kings Day. Was able to enjoy the wellness center which turns out means small pool and hot tub, as well as the outdoor bar in the garden while it was impossible to get a drink anywhere else. Service was challenging but they were very busy. It was easy walking distance to everything, including the train station and very close to the restaurant where we had dinner.

When we arrived by bike to the front they kept telling us to take them around back when we were just trying to get checked in. Having breakfast included with our reservation would have been nice.

Understated luxury, a haven in a great city

Beautiful estate, lovely views no matter where you are. It was amazing to use the spa facilities after a full day of exploring the city. We felt completely refreshed and ready for dinner

We wanted to have a drink before heading out to dinner, but service on the terrace was so slow that we gave up

Very good

Breakfast was too expensive for what we would need to eat. Love the location to walk to train. Perhaps add directions to train on your website. Very quiet and the room had everything we needed.

Having to walk outside to get to room. Heavy rain .

Lovely canalside hotel

This is a beautiful hotel. Parking right outside the hotel, very easy to get to. Staff were lovely. Good sized rooms, loo was separate from the shower - bonus whether sharing with a friend or partner. Very well equipped, comfortable beds, selection of pillows. Great location, a few minutes from the centre of Utrecht and the main rail station. 25 mins into Amsterdam. Utrecht and its canals are far calmer than Amsterdam. Lovely bars and quaint shops.
