to get started.

Lovely hotel with beautiful courtyard area close to the centre of Utrecht. So peaceful and quiet,even though you were so close to the centre.

A, Italy

Everything! The room, the garden view, the food, the service were all fantastic! Also excellent bathroom.

Maisie, United States of America

The whole site had an ambience of class, the staff all excellent English speakers, its in a great area for the old town, a little difficult to find so do your homework and don't relay on you navigation.

Phil, United Kingdom

Luxurious mansion. Staff were superb, couldn't do enough for us, from check in to checkout.

Angus, Canada

Fantastic location, very friendly and competent personel, great ambiance, excellent food.

Raymond, Spain

The location of the hotel was very nice, the garden was very god maintained, possible to have a drink in the garden. The staff in the lobby was professional. We had breakfast one morning. Very good choices from the a la carte meny (included in the price, one could order eggs benedict, american pancakes, and much more).

Beatrice, Sweden

the staff did everything to help out. rooms are really nice,. the hotel is quiet but very central located. the great atmosphere, the restaurants have great food

Kap2, Switzerland

the room (suite) was spacious, light and very pleasant. the bathroom was having all you needed but was a bit boring in design. The set up of the hotel in the middle of the City was very ideallic located with a large garden area which allowed to sit outside in the sun as we had beautiful weather. the restaurant (bistro) was excellent both in menu as in food.

Ellen, United Arab Emirates

The hotel was amazingly beautiful. The front desk staff was stellar. We arrived early on Sunday before check in time with the idea of leaving our luggage with the concierge. The young man working the front desk was super helpful and check if by chance he had our rooms ready. They were and we checked in immediately. It started our getaway off right.

Lisa, Netherlands

Great location!

눉The bed sagged and was not very comfortable. Breakfast was very disappointing. We ordered 2 poached eggs on toast, after 25 minutes and a reminder, we were each given a plate with one very hard poached egg, where the yolk rolled about it was so hard, and one slice of toast. Not even 2 star standard, far less 5 star. We had to supplement this pathetic offering with scrambled eggs and mushrooms from the buffet, which was sparse in choice. The kitchen was very busy, we were told, though no more than 12 people in the restaurant. The staff seemed to be fully occupied making up room service breakfasts. Maybe we should have ordered that instead.
눇Beautiful garden grounds, very quiet. Spacious, well appointed room, big bathroom with good quality toiletries.

“Disappointing”
- • Business trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Rooms were dusty and full of out-dated dark furniture from the nineties. Darkening the already dark room, not something one would expect in a luxury hotel to keep the same furniture for over 25 years. Showerdoor couldn't be closed properly, so bathroom was flooded every time one took a shower.
눇The garden is quite beautiful. Pity there's no special seating for guests in it to have a coffee or drink and enjoy it, one had to use the terrace of the cafe on the back of the building, which is open to the public too.
