Trying so hard to be ubercool and in many ways it is. I liked a lot of the art and style. Breakfast was odd though. Random sugary cereals but hot breakfast only has one of - beans, mushrooms, sausages, bacon and rotate it per day. On the other hand vodka and tomato juice available to make a Bloody Mary?!?

The former palace, now the hotel, exudes a leisurely atmosphere from the inside out. The hotel is located in the old town of Utrecht. It is very convenient to go everywhere. There are ample parking spaces. It is worth staying and experiencing.

Great location, close to the central station and easy to get to the old town across the tracks. The room was spacious and had air conditioning. There's a window, but it doesn't open. The staff were friendly, and breakfast was decent. It takes about 20-30 minutes to get to Amsterdam Central Station. This Utrecht hotel offers a more pleasant stay than the bustling Amsterdam.

We've known the Hotel The President for business for a long time; since the 90s, it was the go-to for our international colleagues. We also book it privately ourselves when we need to be in Utrecht for an event. The quality is excellent, and you can easily reach Utrecht city center by bus from the public transport stop, which is just a few hundred meters walk away. You can leave your car in the hotel's parking lot.

The hotel offered an overall satisfactory stay. Breakfast was acceptable, with a reasonable selection. The location is a bit far from the city center, which may be inconvenient without transport. The room was fine and met basic expectations. Staff were polite and adequate. A plus point is the availability of a car park, which is convenient for guests with cars.

The apartment hotel is useful for independent travelers. The rooms have both bedroom and a well equipped kitchen if you choose to shop and prepare your own food. The bathrooms are on the small side, but functional. The rooms are serviced only every four days, so make sure you dry your towels Facilities at the hotel include a bar restaurant, but this was often taken over by local events and parties - without any notice. There are not so many restaurants in easy reach of here. Overall, it’s a great base and although 4km from the city, there are very frequent direct buses and taxis

I was going to check out at 7:20 am on April 19. I met the hotel hostess's kind greetings. I was going there. The hostess learned that I was going to go to Yangjiao Village. The hostess sent me a pie and a box of grapes for breakfast. Thank you very much for the generosity and enthusiasm of the hostess. The milk cheese, ham and bread in the hotel refrigerator let all the guests can eat, very good value youth hostel
