This hotel is a very conveniently located close to two major highways, when you have a car and looking for business meetings nearby. The staff was very friendly. The room however, was average at best. For instance, I didn’t have a safe or closet, or fridge in the room. The room was also very small. Breakfast options were extremely limited as well.

During my recent stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Utrecht, I found the experience to be quite pleasant overall.

The hotel boasts a modern design with clean and spacious rooms, which contributed to a comfortable atmosphere.

The staff were friendly and attentive, providing helpful recommendations for local dining options and ensuring that my needs were met throughout my visit.

Pros:
- Clean and Comfortable Rooms: The accommodations were well-maintained, featuring comfortable beds and modern amenities, including a good shower and free internet access.

- Friendly Staff: The reception team was welcoming and eager to assist, enhancing the overall experience.

- Convenient Amenities: The hotel offers bike rentals, which is a great way to explore the area.

However, one notable drawback was the lack of outdoor seating areas for guests. While the interior of the hotel was inviting, it would have been nice to have designated spaces outside where guests could relax or smoke.

This absence made it difficult for those who enjoy spending time outdoors or need a place to unwind outside of their rooms.

In summary, while the Holiday Inn Express Utrecht provided a solid stay with its modern facilities and attentive service, incorporating outdoor seating areas would significantly enhance the guest experience.

This hotel, while somewhat out of the way, was still fairly convenient with the bus stop right near by. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful, but we found the temperature in the room would go from too hot to too cold. But other than that, it was a pleasant stay and I’d stay there again.

Lovely Serene Retreat

This charming 3 star hotel was a delight.
It is off the beaten track, but the charm is in the seclusion and the peaceful surroundings.

However, pedestrians are well catered for by buses which are a short walk from the hotel.
Utrecht Center and the Railway station can be reached in
around 10 to 12 minutes.

The room was small - but adequate for a single person.
Very quiet and very clean - as were the corridors.

The bed was sumptuous, and the towels and linen were spotless.
Shower and bathroom were immaculate.
Larger individuals will have no trouble moving around in the shower as it was very spacious.
The shower floor can be very - very slippery when wet -
alleviated by standing on a towel.

The room did feature a kettle, but was without a fridge.
Staff were pleasant and attentive.

Windows were fixed - with a narrow side panel which can be opened to let in fresh air.
However, the room temperature can be regulated.

I had a wonderful two night stay here.

Poor in pappendop

While the room itself was fine, every night when we tried to have a meal at the restaurant, we were told that only 3 of the 4 of us could have something from the menu, while the 4th person could only have a pizza. I could understand if the restaurant was full but as we were the only people in there it was disappointing as we wanted to eat as a group, so we ended up going out to eat 6 of the 8 nights we stayed there. When your paying nearly £1000 to stay somewhere you expect to be able to use the restaurant.

Standard basic Holiday Inn Express hotel, on a modern building but with basic amenities. Overall everything seemed cheaply made and there wasn't much attention to detail.

The mattress was far from being the most comfortable, the tv remote didn't work, the room carpet had some stains on it, the ceiling had some marks of water ingress and the breakfast was quite limited in variety and quality.

The staff seemed friendly enough but as whole it was expensive for what it offered and even more being at a remote, out of town, location.

Modern hotel, near a motorway. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, although the mattress is a bit too soft. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. The only thing we didn't.like was the breakfast situation. The packs they give you due.to.current coronavirus restrictions offer limited choice and are hardly filling. The contents also varies from.one day to.the other. Also,.not much in the way of amenities nearby. Nearest supermarket is about a kilometre away. Would recommend though, good budget option, especially if traveling by car.

Quiet and comfortable - just what we needed after several quaint but very old boutique hotels. We needed A/C, comfortable beds and blackout drapes and Holiday Inn delivered. In the business district but a 5 - 10 minute tram to central squares and canals in Utrecht. If you want a good night sleep and a quiet escape from the all night fun of the central area this hotel is ideal.

Beds need harder, newer mattresses

Good overall experience. The only complaint I have is about the bed - too soft! My husband and I were constantly rolling towards the center of the bed during the night. It was like a hole trying to eat us up... 😉 On top of that, it hurt my back.
Although the hotel is located a bit outside of the city, a seven-minute ride by bus was all it took to get us to the towncenter. There are three buses that stop 100 meters from the hotel. Very convenient. Saved a lot of money by staying here as hotel prices in Utrecht are pretty spicy. Would stay here in a heart beat if they changed the mattresses.

Good hotel but not great for town

Went to see my son who is working in Utrecht. The hotel itself is pleasant and staff are excellent. The problem is that it's a long way from town. Taxi costs seem high though there's a bus stop nearby with regular service. Careful though some buses do not accept cash some do not accept card payments - and these too are more expensive than at home.
