The infrastructure was good and the wellness center was very nice. Good tha they are booking slots for the wellness center so you can enjoy the most.
Netherlandsgreat rooms, birthday card for my wife, reservation of the pool, dinner. location is amazing as well.
NetherlandsI was recognized as a returning customer and got an upgrade to honor my preference for a quiet room. The room was spacious, luxurious and very quiet. The bathroom was a suite in itself. Staff was very helpful and we had a great parking space right in front of the hotel. Due to corona measures, the breakfast buffet was not laid out, but we were served at our table and all our wishes were met.
NetherlandsVery warm welcome at the reception with a lot flexibility in arranging additional aspects of our stay (e.g. late check-out or booking access to the wellness area). A spacious room with a super comfortable bed! Very good location of the hotel, within a few minutes walking distance from the central train station and just on the edge of the old part of Utrecht - perfect for an evening stroll or excursion to all main tourist attractions the city has to offer.
