The service was excellent on arrival, our luggage taken to our room in the roman wing, a separate building which includes the wellness center. The aircon was a much needed relief as soon as we were in the room, with spacious bathroom too, all the extra's you would expect, slippers and fluffy robes. The mini bar was very reasonable in... more

This an excellent hotel with well deserved five stars and friendly unpretentious service. The location in Utrecht is simply perfect and the renovation of the old building has been carried out with care. The rooms in the old part are very large, lush, romantic and welcoming. Breakfast is rich and nicely served until 11.30 on sundays. True it is not... more

We found the Grand Hotel Karel V to be a beautiful place of calm. It is located conveniently close to the Central Station and the city center. No need for taxis or public transport. The staff is as you would expect from a 5 star hotel : efficient, friendly and professional. The hotel is situated in an old monestry and... more

This was our second visit in a superior room (in the main building). The rooms were large, with nice high ceilings and comfortable beds. Most of the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

Delivering breakfast to our room after typical breakfast hours and sending someone up to prepare an ice-pack for my horrible headache when... more

Accomodation is either in the modern block, or in the old hospital. We stayed one night in the new wing which was spacious and comfortable, and 2 nights in the hospital building, which was... more

I stayed at this hotel for one night only on business. The room was good although in a building separate to the main building. I thought it might be noisy as it was facing the busy street but no problems at all. The real difference here was the staff - travelling lots in my job, this is, for me, the... more

This hotel has an excellent location, short walking from the railway station. The building is an historical one, as you can read on the hotel website. I stayed at the hotel only for one night, but i had time to appreciate the large room, the great bathroom (with bathrobes, many towels), the separate W.C. The room has a marvellous bed,... more

Highly recommend this hotel, excellent location within Utrecht and for day trips to other locations in Holland. The room was large and elegant; the staff attentive and friendly; high speed access in room and also free internet access in lounge more
