Crowne Plaza UTRECHT - CENTRAL STATION by IHG

High floors offer great sunset views, even though there's construction nearby. The housekeeping service was excellent. The hotel TV is large and it's very convenient to connect your phone for screen mirroring. Highly recommend staying here.

The location is fantastic, with the entrance right on the ground floor of a shopping mall. It's incredibly convenient to just grab some things and take them straight back to the hotel. It's also only about a 5-minute walk from the central station, though you do have to go to the second floor of the mall from the station and then find an elevator down to the first floor to reach the hotel entrance. The staff were amazing, and most of the breakfast items were uploaded (presumably meaning they were readily available or well-presented). The hotel's only drawback is the terrible soundproofing. You can clearly hear people walking upstairs, and even a door closing next door makes the table in the room shake. If you don't mind the noise, this hotel is definitely the top choice in Utrecht.

The room isn't huge, but the location is absolutely fantastic. It's right above the Central Station, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and finding places to eat. We also happened to be there during the weekend market, which was less than a minute's walk away, offering all sorts of local cheeses, fries, flowers, and specialties.

If you're looking for a place close to Utrecht Centraal Station, this is the perfect spot. The lobby is on the 3rd floor of the shopping mall in front of the station, so the weather won't affect your stay. It's also just a 5-minute walk to the city center where the canal flows. All the staff, from check-in to housekeeping and the restaurant, were incredibly friendly, cheerful, and bright, which made my entire trip enjoyable.
