+ Easy to get to University on number 11 bus. Helpful staff. Very clean. BBC1 and BBC2!!! Quite nice breakfast.

- Small bedroom, my sink leaked. Dreadful shower!!! I actually couldn't wash properly!! Very cramped hotel outside of the bedrooms with lots of narrow staircases and no lift. Only really suitable for a brief overnight stop, nothing luxurious at all about this hotel. Overpriced at nearly 100 EUR!

8.0

+ Near to all the nightlife and restaurants in Utrecht. Good bus services to Utrecht Central Station, 1 bus every 2-3 minutes. Hotel is 2 star, but the room I was in has matched some of the 3 and 4 star hotels I have stayed in when I was working in Amsterdam. Certainly good enough if you are a business traveller on a budget. Free WiFi. Old town and canals of Utrecht within walking distance.

- As with all hotels in Utrecht, expensive. Incredibly steep stairs, not suitable for anbody with any physical impairment. Breakfast is basic ham, salami, bread eggs.

Efrat Cohen Great hotel, we´ll be back

+ lovely neighbourhood including park, fine restaurant 'De Kust' nextdoor, public transport brings you quickly to the city center or the station, quiet

- lots of stairs en corridors, hard to find my room at first, i'm too tall for the shower

7.2

+ Nice hotel, staff is very friendly and helpful, lovely breakfast! Very fine 'De Kust' restaurant nearby! Bus stop to city centre is also nearby.

- We paid 90 EUR for a somewhat smaller room; maybe 70 or 80 EUR would have been a fairer price; hotel lies a bit out of the city centre if you want to go on foot.

David Pockington Cozy and comfortable

+ For the usual price it would have been way too expensive but as we booked 2 days before it was ok. Nice staff, nice breakfast, very nice location and okay rooms.

- Room and bathroom were very very small.

+ Good location for Utrecht Historic City Centre, by bus or bike (7-8 minutes). Nice breakfast area, 24 hour coffee available.

- Rooms probably need renovating. Ours had a very strong cigarette smell event though the hotel and the room was smoke free (!?). Bed mattress was not firm enough, probable not that recent.

+ Position is excellent: very close (walking distance) to the city centre and yet very quiet and close to a nice park. Staff very friendly and rooms very clean and tidy, with access 24 h a day. Breakfast really super! Free coffee and tea at will in the lounge.

- A little expensive maybe.

Peter Greenbank Good value, good location, friendly staff and clean room.

+ Very friendly staff, good value and excellent location. I will recommens this Hotel.

- The canal view is fantastic in the Breakfast room, you could do more to enhance the garden and make a little bit more of the view.

7.6

+ Quite close to the city, with nice decor in the breakfast room and a clean bathroom.

- The bed in a single room was extremely small, and few blankets meant I was quite cold at night. There is no lift in the hotel, so the steep stairs are quite frightening to navigate with a suitcase, and an offer to help from staff was unconvincing and unfriendly.

marie Quiet hotel in lovely location

+ very convenient for the university and in a lovely part of the city. breakfast room with some tables overlooking the canal.

- 15-20 bus ride from the train station.

+ Good service. The breakfast was great and plenty. The room was very clean. A good choice in Utrecht within the price range, and since I got a discount the value was greater.

- Thin walls, which may or may not be a problem depending on your neighbors.

+ Su personal es muy agradable y atento y la situación concreta en donde se encuentra me fue muy útil: entre el centro de la ciudad y la universidad. Me gustó mucho encontrarme con las manzanas en el recibidor del hotel.

- Acaso unas mejores toallas para la ducha

jose garcia biosca Small and confortable hotel

M&J Just OK until breakfast saves the day!

16 August 2009

7.2

+ Excellent organic breakfast; reasonably clean and comfortable room; close to UU.

- Kind of far from the centrum; next to train tracks (although they are not extremely busy, they are at times quite loud); hotel aesthetics in need of an update. Overall, not bad but not great.

elif kus saillard Quite OK for short time accomodation

14 June 2009

+ Close to city center, close to bus station, nice breakfast, clean

- Expensive, no mini bar in the room, stairs in the hotel not suitable for disabled or old people.

Ian I would stay again

26 April 2009

7.4

+ I would consider this a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel. It was clean and considering the price compared to the other hotels in Utrecht was good value. The best point was the free wireless internet which many other hotels will charge for, and it was about 15 minutes good pace walk to the city centre. Very quiet and I would stay again , the front staff were very helpful and reception is open until approximately 11pm. Double room was a good size.

- Beds need a better mattress. Very steep stairs if you are elderly or have large luggage please think carefully.

Hayri Erenli Could be better

+ Nice location; easy to reach from the center.

- no lounge. room extremely small

Taylor The location of this hotel (?) makes up for its anachronisms.

21 September 2008

7.6

+ The location suited our needs precisely, but others might prefer a more central location.

- Comes across more like a large Bed-and-Breakfast establishment, and not a Hotel, making it relatively poor value for money. Awkward stairs as the hotel is a series of adjacent, but internally unjoined, houses. Limited breakfast choice.

Andrew Good, well situated, traditional hotel!

8 September 2008

9.6

+ Pleasant, helpful staff. Extensive, good breakfast included. Clean simple, though comfortable, rooms Free Wi-Fi internet Good location, nice neighbourhood - between University (Uithof) and city centre. Good fast and regular buslinks to city, university and Centraal Station. Traditional building

- None except, the stairs to many of the rooms (though very typical of this type of house) are very steep and could prove difficult for an elderly or disabled guest - though this was NOT a problem for me

Frederic Boy Really pleasant stay

+ The staff was lovely and very helpful. The room was clean and all the facilities advertised were provided. The breakfast was huge! The hotel is in a calm and very pretty area.

- It's a bit far from the city centre but easy to reach by foot nevertheless. The stairs to the rooms are very steep!

+ The Hotel is conveniently located. Breakfast is excellent. (9.30, however, is too early for the termination of the breakfast serving.10.00 would have been much more convenient for us.)

- The absence of the receptionist during late hours in the evening should be emphasized in the hotel ads. This is vitally important.If we had not a son at the University of Utrecht we could not enter the hotel upon our arrival late at night! Heating in the hotel is not sufficient!!!

+ The hotel is conveniently located. The rooms are quiet. Breakfast is excellent, although it could be served until 10.00. 9.30 was a bit too early for us.

- There is nobody at the reception in the evenings. Due to our program we arrived at the hotel at 1.00 am. Luckyly our sun lives in Utrecht and, thank God, he had checked us in and obtained the keys. This point should be emphasized in the advertisments of the hotel. Heating was very poor!

+ very good breakfast. The hotel is cosy. Located in a nice street. The single room is OK. My friends were in a double room and they said that it was small.

- The stairs are very difficult. There is no lift. So if you are carrying weight suitcases is very difficult to carry them.
