The staff were fantastic. The room (in the additional building next door) was tired and forgotten about. Terrible air circulation, awful mattress, poor bedding, not great light control from the main road. The breakfast buffet was the best I’ve ever seen.

The room was incredibly small. There was no room for a desk or a place to unfold a suitcase, and the room was cold. The staff were nice, and it was close to the train station, which was a plus.

Property was clean, quiet, well kept. The area wasn’t what we expected. It was a bit of a hike to the centre of town (with kids). The area where the hotel is located is very middle eastern. Don’t want to sound rude but we felt like we were out of place and not in the Netherlands. Wouldn’t recommend solely based on location.

We were allocated the wrong room and told the pictures are only a guide. The triple loft room we had booked is not in the hotel but a building next door. We eventually were given this room. Disappointed with the location and it did not appear as in the photos. Stains on rugs, no cushions, horrible smell of urine in bathroom. Had to keep the curtains closed due to the view of the neighbouring buildings- not a nice area to stay in. Very expensive for this level of accommodation

The surroundings for The Anthony hotel are not that quiet. A zooming noise during the night was very unpleasant, also people smashing loud with doors during midnight. Further on, the room (12m2) for one person is really small but has everything inside it. The breakfast wasn't that handy with all the stuff on different spots in another room. The last thing: 147,52 for one night with breakfast including toerist tax and handling fee for Expedia is really expensive

Cannot complain about the hotel / staff and an outstanding breakfast. it was quiet, clean and close to the city central area and unique been a converted convent. The rooms are really lacking a few features: Nowhere to use a laptop, the table was so small, nowhere to dry cloths, really small cups, but provided a coffee pod machine, cables to TV were so ugly just hanging out of the wall. The comfortable bed was placed far to close to the curtains making it hard get in and out of. It would not take much to lift the rooms.

Upscale hotel and an enjoyable stay

Wonderful building and a very classy experience. The staff were good.

There was open-air lock up for our bikes which isn't ideal but at least they were round the back.

Lovely room though no USB outlets.

Breakfast was great and we were looking forward to dinner but the quail was undercooked and my dish wasn't hot enough. The waitress was very apologetic and tried to make it up to us. Apparently they were still trying to find a long-term chef. The rest of the meal was good.

The hotel isn't absolutely in the center of Utrecht but that wasn't too much of a problem. We were able to walk in even though I have mobility problems. (I had no problems in the hotel itself.)

We were disappointed by our stay at The Antony Hotel. The Anthony sells itself as a 4 star hotel and prices itself as such. We, therefore, had pretty high expectations for our stay. However, it currently can’t seem to get some of the basics right. Air con in some of the rooms doesn’t work properly (you can get it on for short bursts before an error message appears on the screen and it turns off). When we informed reception, we were simply told that this was known issue and were given a fan instead which is obviously not the same. The fridge in our room also didn’t work (light came on but it was hotter inside than out so obviously couldn’t keep anything cool). Despite mentioning this to reception on two separate occasions and asking for it to be fixed/ replaced no action was taken (at which point we gave up!). The hotel also provided a baby bed which was fine for our toddler but you wouldn’t want it for a baby as it had an ill-fitting, sloping mattress. And, finally, it’s worth noting that not all family rooms have the advertised (and pictured) separate seating area. Instead, some of them have a bed next to the seating area.

On the plus side, most of the staff were very friendly, especially the breakfast staff, and the breakfast itself was great.

Would have appreciated some information about the hotel facilities in the room. No instruction about anything- oven was inpossible to workout! Not able to work out how to use. Very hot and inable to reset heating. No info on fire escapes etc. Kitchen facilities good though was missing basics like cups and spoons - asked twice but no materialised. A man let himself into our room on our first night using a key card. He said he had been staying there the day before and where was all his stuff! Would never stay there again for this reason.

On site parking needs to be RESERVED in advance

The hotel was nice and generally as described/expected. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, we arrived to learn that the parking needed to be reserved in advance so we ended up having to park in a remote location. We had selected this hotel because the hotels.com page listed self-parking onsite, without indicating that a reservation was required. The property description needs to be corrected.

OK apartments, could be better

We stayed in the apartments. The stairs are very steep and there is a gap at the top of the stairs, where a small child could fit through and fall (there is also no child safety barrier at the bottom of the stairs to prevent small children from climbing up). I would not recommend anyone for children below 3 years old to stay in the apartment for this reason. There is also no air-conditioning on the upper floor where the main bedroom is located. It is probably OK for the cooler months, but we stayed there in August and the room was very hot and not very pleasant to sleep in. We stayed for 6 nights and were told that changing of bed sheets / cleaning would occur every 5 days, but we did not see anyone. Other than that, the location was good, the apartment was well-equipped with cutlery, coffee machine etc and the wifi worked well.

If you are considering an apartment, keep in mind:

- The toilet and the bedroom are on different floors, separated by a steep (by non-Dutch standards) and slippery staircase.

- While the building was clean overall, the laundry facilities provided were an exception, and did not appear to be regularly cleaned.

- The beautiful building you see in the photos is not what you will be staying in.

We had a two bed appartment which was very nice. The kitchen area had not been cleaned properly though prior to our arrival as there was something sticky on the countertops. There was also no cleaning cloths to clean it with so I had to use a towel. The AC was extremely noisy so it was impossible to have it on at night. The toilet was downstairs and the shower and sink were upstairs which in my opinion was very silly. The bathroom was big so i just could not understand why a toilet had not been installed in the bathroom. Terrible design flaw in my opinion. However, overall the appartment was a very good size, nicely designed and the beds were comfortable. The location is excellent for eating places and grocery stores as well as only being a 10minute walk from the station. The staff were super friendly and the welcome drink was very much appreciated. I would stay again because I liked the hotel, the friendly staff and the location.
