However, AC was programmed to automatically shut off every 30 min. Being on the top level under the roof, it spoiled the night. Otherwise, very good and modernized hotel to stay.

Amazing hotel, we had the family room that was made for children, it had anything you'd need and more - our little one loved picking up the books and sat in the comfy chair to read them. There was also a changing table, lovely cot and a baby bath, which made us feel like we were at home. The only criticism would be the room had some stairs, so it would be great if there was an optional stair gate for our peace of mind, as we couldn't leave our toddler alone to roam free; also the shower leaked a little bit from the bottom. Other than that, a brilliant experience, we'll definitely be back!

Style over experience

Stylish hotel in a great location, but lacked a feeling of hospitality. Staff (except the night porter) gave the feeling that they were busy chilling and that guests were a distraction. Breakfast was ok, but over-designed and strange to mix processed turkey slices plopped into a small bowl with the cheese for breakfast made it feel unappetising

Beautiful and unique building.
Breakfast was inconsistent and not worth the money- First 2days we were given a selection of scrambled egg ( in a jar), rolls, croissant and yoghurt. There was one coffee machine which we had to queue for. On our last day there was no room for us at our time given. We came back half an hour later to be given a small plate of cheese and ham( 2 pieces of each of Brie, Dutch cheese and ham)and were told to help ourselves- there was only bread rolls, jam and one croissant left. I asked for yoghurt which we were then given. There was only one member of staff serving and she seemed keen to go chat to the man serving on the reception. Definitely not worth paying for breakfast!
Rooms were small but adequate. No air conditioning-we had 2 rooms and the air con wouldn’t switch on in either. We had a small patio but it hadn’t been cleaned.
Hotel ok for an overnight stay but I wouldn’t book again. Very limited staffing - receptionists also do breakfast- not ideal at busy times.

This has the potential to be a lovely boutique hotel but sadly it isn’t quite there yet.

Stayed here before a few years ago so it was and easy choice to visit again. As previously, this hotel is simply all you can ask for when visiting Utrecht. It is within easy reach of the train station with just a 10 min walk. The location is right in the heart of Utrecht with an abundance of architecture, museums, bars, restaurants and the wonderful canals that make this a lovely city to visit. The Eye hotel is stylish, well equipped, provides a lovely breakfast and is very welcoming. The building itself is stunning and gives you many things to look at as there are a lot of quirky features.

Character hotel in the heart of town

This is a really good place to stay: a modern hotel with literally bags of character. The interior is imaginatively realised and the rooms have stlish individuality without sacrificing either practicality or comfort. Wi-Fi was reliable and the shower was refreshing. The bed was very comfortable and I got a really good night's sleep thanks to black-out curtains as well. The breakfast was very good quality with excellent fresh rolls, juices and coffee. The only downside was the lack of affordable car parking space by the hotel.

Stayed 1 night at the Eye Hotel and wish I had stayed longer in Utrecht! The front desk staff were wonderful and accommodated our early arrival, we were surprised our room was ready at 11:00am. The room itself was beautifully decorated and clean - with high ceilings and a spacious bathroom. We enjoyed the Nespresso machine as well. The bed was comfortable but a little too soft for our taste, but nonetheless we had a great night’s sleep. The rainfall shower was a nice touch, although the shower door was a bit troublesome to close. I also read that if you decline housekeeping for the day, the staff will still hang a bag of fresh towels and other items on your door, a nice touch. Highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay again!
