- Very dusty public areas such as lift and corridors. Extremely disappointed with the breakfast at this hotel, says it opens at 6:30 but dont expect anything hot at that time, breakfast is not value for money.

9.2
+ We stayed in one of the suites and it was lovely. The room was large and very pleasant. The bathroom was first class and the bed had beautiful linens. We have family in Utrecht so stayed here. It is only a short drive out of the city and the price point was excellent. We will stay here again
Frans Vink Hotel Houten prima - restaurant mediocre
7.6
+ Room spacious, all you need
- Restaurant needs major improvement: Food cold: Quantity more important than quality; Tuna was served raw, Salmon was served dry and overcooked. Service mediocre
Dorota Iwaniak Super verblijf!
9.4

+ This was a clean hotel and well presented.
- I booked the Royal Suite for 1 night. There was no bottle opener in room. No dustbin in the room. Lack of power outlets. Reception wanted me to go down and pick up the bottle opener. There was a lack of staff on duty in the evening during the week.

Anonymous Weekend break unsurpassable value for money
9.6
+ The Weekend Break price for a 1 night stay offered amazing value for money - luxury room on the 16th floor plus excellent breakfast for 2 for only 89 euros.Warm, efficient welcome and checkout. Hotel easy to find, with plenty of parking space and an easy 15 minute drive from the centre of Utrecht in the evening.. Maybe less suitable if you don't have a car, though.
- None of importance. The only nit-picking negative is that the breakfast staff weren't very visible.

9.0
+ Great value. Big rooms. Comfortable beds.
- Noisy dining room
Lee Fowkes Nice hotel, but unprofessional barmen
6.0
+ Nice hotel, plenty of parking
- On 2 separate occasions I saw 2 bartmen use their bare hands to scoop ice from the ice bucket and drop into customers' drinks. I avoided drinks with ice for the duration of my stay. You have to wonder about hygiene behind the scenes if this happens at the public face.
gerald gabriel Great utrecht periphery accomodation - one of the best
8.4
+ easy-going pleasant atmosphere, spacious tidy rooms, excellent location for motorists, in a nutshell - a fine addition to hotels in the Utrecht area very well worth trying out.
- range of air cond temperature could be broader, found it still cool despite max. temp. setting.

P.F. Paroissien Disappointed British traveller
5.4
+ nice and clean
- still in breaking in period. The personnel with whom I interacted were mostly far too laid back, not really interested in the guest's needs. Wake up call never happened, excuse given that the system was not working correctly, no form of apology. 2 other similar issues
William Thompson Great hotel for the price
9.0
+ Great Shower Head
Andrew Gibbons Spacious, but lacked somewhere to put your toiletries in shower.
8.4
+ Lots of space. Jacuzzi in bathroom a nice bonus.
- No place to put toiletries (shower gel / shampoo) in the shower, needs a holder or shelf. Pillows very high and all the same so no options.
Gerald Comfortable and tasteful hotel on the outskirts of Utrecht
8.0
+ food/breakfast buffet/some main dishes off the menu ! But....see below
- food/some main dishes off the menu ! Kitchen seems to be hit or miss - a more ínternationalized´ way of cooking might improve things
Robert Highly recommended
7.8
+ Excellent breakfast buffet. Location (very central in the Netherlands, good for business purposes and as a central departure point for daytrips).
- We stayed in November and, being used to (much) warmer climates, found our room rather cold. Location (nothing within walking distance, thus no good if you want to be really 'in' the city, the nearest city being Utrecht).
Chris Barnes Fabulous hotel!
8.6
+ Although the location was a minor problem being in the middle of nowhere, I can't fault this hotel on style, comfort or value. If only they did room service it would be perfect.
- No room service and poor location unless you have a car but apart from that, nothing.
Anonymous Teleurstellend
5.8

Anonymous Mooi hotel, met goede keuken

+ de service aan de receptie was perfect. Goede info over de omgeving. De kamer was mooi, en praktisch. Stijl en sfeer is perfect.
- Dat roken ongezond is , snap ik. Maar de viese asbakken , overvol, en servies, wat er bleef staan,(van de vorige dag) en ook buiten voor de deur!!! Het zag er niet uit! En zo moeten nieuwe gasten dus ook het aanschouwen als ze aankomen. Zonde!!!
Anonymous Schade um das schöne Design.
6.0
+ Frühstücksbuffet sehr umfangreich, ein wunderschönes Design im gesamten Hotel. Sehr netter Empfang an der Rezeption. Sehr freundliches Personal im Restaurant.
- Sauberkeit im Zimmer und im gesamten Hotel stark verbesserungsbedürftig. Spiegel, Holzwände, Türen, Aufzüge sind gar nicht oder streifig geputzt. Betten wurde mit verschnutzten Laken bezogen, nassen (!) Kopfkissenbezug im Zimmer vorgefunden. Besteck und Gläser im Restaurant sehr stumpf und streifig.

+ Ruime kamer, aparte douche, ruimte voor je toilettas,
- hygiëne laat te wensen over, alles is een beetje vies, gaten in de lakens, vlekken op nachtkastjes die er na twee nachten nog op zitten, kalk in de douche, er wordt met vieze doeken schoongemaakt die overal strepen achter laten, en zo kan ik nog wel even door gaan.
Anonymous Aan te raden
7.6
+ Comfortabele kamer, heerlijk bed.
- Mag toch minimaal ontbijt op de kamer bij in zijn. Gladde vloeren in het badgedeelte.
