"Was sent to a room in a separate building. No lift. Walked the stairs and then was confronted with masses of building stuff, plaster board, dust. Went back to reception asked for a different room. Had to take a twin room in the conference block with a balcony. Woke up to the smell of cigarette smoke with someone smoking on the balcony as the entire balcony for the whole floor isn’t seperated.

"Excellent hotel. Very friendly "

"Excellent hotel - we had a great stay. 👍"

"We wanted to visit Utrecht for one night and I wanted somewhere close to the train station. The price I paid for this is terrible. We are currently staying 3 nights at Artotel in Amsterdam for €40 more a night and you can see the difference in luxury. The only good thing about this hotel was the really lovely person who checked us in. It is not worth the price at all. When we checked in there was a problem with the key cards. We waited 40 minutes while hungry when they could have given us a different room but they wanted to reset the room key fob. I actually feel sorry for the staff and managers because when being charged this much people obviously will get annoyed easily. There is some kind of problem with pricing vs the staff who are understanding. When we came back, we had to change rooms because it wasn’t working. Both rooms were tiny. I booked this so we would have a bigger room in the area close to the station. It is a long walk with luggage through a busy shopping mall. I paid €273. It was worth around €100 max. I would never stay here again even if you paid me to. The prices are not comparable to the area, service and room. Even my teenage son told me when we arrived at Artotel in Amsterdam, ‘you paid €40 more for this, that’s crazy’ - it has a pool, double size of room, a TV built into the glass wardrobe and is right by Amsterdam station. I also had a handwritten note and chocolates. Take that as you will. I do not recommend the Hilton Ulrecht at all."

"The lady at desk was so nice and also cleaning team were very polite. Lovely hotel and not far walk to centre of city. Supermarket close and some good nightlife also close."

"Modern tasteful decor throughout, relaxing ambience, spacious well appointed bedroom with lovely products and quality coffee pods. The food/breakfast buffet were very good. Having the pool and spa area to ourselves was a real treat. We would love to stay again"

"We had a fantastic stay at the Crown Plaza Utrecht. The location was excellent for access to train station, great shopping mall attached, short walk to the Oudegracht area with amazing restaurants and shops. Our room and bathroom were very clean and the bed super comfortable. Would definitely stay there again the next time we are in Utrecht"

"Good value hotel in convenient location. Good for a single night - as storage in bedroom poor with no decent hanging space. Otherwise a great hotel"

"Stayed 4 nights, great location to both the train station and the sites, nice restaurant for dinner, I didn’t have the breakfast but it looked good. A free drink to opt out of daily cleaning was a nice touch. "
