I had a wonderful stay at Crowne Plaza Utrecht - Central Station by IHG. The location is unbeatable—right next to Utrecht Central Station and within walking distance of the city center, shops, and restaurants. The room was modern, clean, and very comfortable, with excellent soundproofing despite the central location. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. Check-in was smooth, and the breakfast offered a great variety of fresh and tasty options. I especially appreciated the convenience of being connected to Hoog Catharijne shopping center while still enjoying a quiet and relaxing stay. I would highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers visiting Utrecht and would gladly stay here again.

Less than a five-minute walk from the train station, making it super convenient. The room, although not huge, is well-laid out with plenty of storage space. The shower pressure is stable, and hot water comes on quickly. Breakfast and the gym are also great, plus you can request a late check-out for two hours.

This hotel is far from the city centre, but there’s a bus from Utrecht Central Station (Bus 73). The hotel was cheaper than hotels in the city centre, that’s why we chose this instead, haha. The room style was retro 1980s, but everything is fully functional, so it doesn’t matter to us. The room size was big too, and there’s a bathtub. Breakfast was quite OK, and since it’s not easy to find anything to do in the morning in Holland since most shops and restaurants are still closed before 10 a.m., we just added this last minute for €19.50/pp. Next time, it’s better to book a room with breakfast when staying in Holland. I always forgot this.

Located in the centre of Utrecht. Perfect to explore the city, Domtoren and behind church (see the beautiful indoor garden), terraces on the old hill or in the streets behind it or if you like shopping or walking by the city. The room was modernly furnished, with a nice shower and toilet. Bed was a bit hard (personally). Abundant restaurants and cafes in the vicinity. The Street food club was a pleasant and fun atmosphere. Parking was made in p+r west straven in IJsselstein and 15 minutes by tram to central station and 15 minutes by hotel. Surely located in the city center.

The location is super convenient, just a few hundred meters from Utrecht Central Station. There's a shopping mall nearby and the canal is also close. The room was quite spacious and the price was reasonable. My only complaint is that the in-room lighting was a bit insufficient.

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

In terms of hygiene, the shower wasn't clean (hair from previous guests). The location is excellent and easily accessible. The service is excellent, and even with bacteria (enterococci) in the water, they do offer bottled water. Breakfast was a bit behind schedule on Sundays, not quite prepared for peak times. The breakfast menu could be better structured. They do have parking, but they could do with some more maintenance in the parking garage due to clogged drains, which cause water to pool on the deck, resulting in large puddles.
