One minus point, there is no outside covered area for the smokers. I know they are a dying breed but to pretend they don’t exist is not cool.

My experience with this place was unequivocally negative and shows exactly how guest service should not look.

During my stay, my car window was smashed on the hotel’s paid parking lot, and items were stolen from the vehicle. In such a situation, I expected at least a basic level of support and engagement. Instead, I was met with indifference, a lack of empathy, and a clear unwillingness to help from the staff, while the owner’s attitude was arrogant and highly unprofessional. Any attempts to obtain information or real assistance ended in being dismissed and having responsibility shifted elsewhere.

The rooms themselves also leave much to be desired — they are not modern, clearly past their prime, and the overall standard does not correspond to either the price or the level the hotel claims to offer.

If you value safety, basic customer service, and fair treatment in difficult situations, you should avoid this hotel altogether.
I strongly and without hesitation advise against staying here under any circumstances.

Great hotel. Was only there for a couple of days so didn’t use any of the self catering aspect of the facilities however these looked complete.

I arrived a little later than expected around 2130 and then reception were very helpful.

The room was very nice and comfortable with great views over the canal. The bathroom whilst a little small had one of the best hotel showers I’ve ever used.

The restaurant and bar downstairs is very nice and the staff down there were excellent too.

Very functional kitchen with all the amenities you could hope for and a nice comfortable bed. Hotel staff are responsive to requests through WhatsApp. The main reason I took off a star is for the very tiny bathroom and shower. I wish they had made these bigger even if the rest of the room was then smaller. The bidet was also not very useful because of the angle it sprayed.

Good place to stay in Utrecht

Good place to stay in Utrecht. It was an office building converted to apartments and bathrooms are not comfortable. If you are a big person you have to squeeze yourself to fit in the toilet. Also the location is decent but a little bit apart from city center but if you can ride a bike is no problem, they have them available (for a fee). If you stay there there's a coffee in front of it between the two canals called Soia that is very nice

The people at the front desk were helpful and friendly; check-in was a breeze. I liked that the room I had was a studio apartment. However, the kitchen could be equipped with basic condiments like salt, pepper and cooking oil. All in all, it was a pleasant stay and I slept well. The hotel is a 35-40min walk from the train station, but you could take buses also.

Not great experience

I am not really satisfied with the service I received. The hotel doesn't change on a daily basis your bedsheets and they only clean your room every fourth day just when I booked only for 3 nights!!! Airconditioning was not blowing fully cold air and didn't make any difference in terms of the room temperature as during my stay was very hot outside between 24th of June and 27th of June. On my second day, the alarm went off in the building and the hotel failed to notify us what was going on so expect absolutely a lack of communication from them. Also, the hotel doesn't have normal TV channels available if you want to watch Dutch channels or international channels like CNN, BBC News or Discovery channel but instead you're expected to use Youtube or Netflix as the alternative. There is no reception available downstairs as you will need to use self-service when checking in and my experience was not that great at all because the system simply couldn't find me in the beginning, so you will have to call someone from the hotel who will come down to sort this out which in effect only adds more unnecessary waiting time. So if I have to give a rating I rate this hotel a solid 2 stars and would I come back again to this hotel? I highly doubt it!

Good enough value. Edge of town accommodation.

Clean, comfortable and good enough value by the side of a pretty canal in an industrial estate. Self service check in. No staff at a reception although there is a number you can call for assistance. Accomodation includes a little kitchen with a fridge and also a tv although we could not get the tv to work despite numerous attempts. Location - 40 minutes walk to the old town though there is a bus lane 10 minutes walk away. When we stayed the resteraunt was being renovated and disappointingly there were no nearby shops or cafes. Make sure you bring something to eat and drink to save walking back in the direction you just travelled.

Great stay over. Highly recommended

The stay was great. No problems with the room, it was clean, quiet and quite spacious due to having a kitchen, which was really useful if you want to do your own catering, with fridge, stove, etc. Be careful if you do self-cater as you will need to walk about 1km+ to get to supermarkets so time it well before they close or bring food in already bought. Big sofa and TV. The bed was big and comfy. The only potential issue is that the duvet is quite thick (winter style) and I was there during 38/39C heat. So you end up trying to create a balance between the aircon (colder=louder) and the thick duvet. Probably great in winter. The only complaint was that previous visitors had left both YoutTube and Netflix logged in with Spanish and Polish. It took quite a while to log out of Netflix, and even worse I could not log out of YouTube when everything is in Polish. Would be really useful if the this was automated to log out on check out and reset to English or Dutch by default. Checkin and checkout was really easy. Its totally automated - so get used to it if you're one to complain about no reception. In NL this is becoming quite common. I would probably get annoyed if I had to end up queueing behind lost of people who are struggling with this concept - but I didn't have to wait for anyone on checkin/out. Overall a great experience and will definitely stay again.

Worth a stay

Very clean hotel, we stayed in a studio room which was lovely on the 4th floor, had a small kitchen area with a table and a big comfy bed.
Couldn't get the TV on normal channels but it did not matter as the TV has Netflix and YouTube.

The only thing that let this hotel down is that you aren't allowed to bring drinks from the bar up to your room, which is absolute rubbish.
The nearest shop is about a 10 minute walk away

Clean and new hotel

Hotel was quite new for my stay and had some growing Pai s such as the restaurant had very limited hours. Only dinners were Friday and Saturday nights. This was not listed in hotel information when I booked. There are also limited restaurants in the immediate area as it's partly industry and partly residential. The staff offered excellent service and this offset any issues quite easily. There was no cable television, but the TV's were YouTube & Netflix ready. For my extended stay of 2 weeks it was nice to come home to as my room was clean and quiet. Housekeeping is only every 3 or 4 days, so be aware of that.

Everything was new and it all felt very luxurious. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I arrived late (close to midnight) and the staff went out of their way to get me in and settled. Lovely little cafe for breakfast. Only con was that it felt a bit out of the way, but, on the other hand, it was very peaceful (slept with the window open and not a peep) and is an easy walk into town.

Es un hotel en el que tú mismo te atiendes. Sin embargo, las personas en recepción (cuando las requieres) siempre están disponibles y solucionan los problemas que tengas. El hotel realiza limpieza cada 4 días con lo cual hay que tener las cosas siempre ordenadas. Cuando estuvimos, el restaurante no estaba en funcionamiento; sin embargo, la habitación cuenta con todo lo necesario para cocinar y tener un desayuno a la altura. Hay markets cerca
