This is a simply wonderful hotel. The service is outstanding. The room I had was very large with picture windows which provided light but could be closed off to make the room dark for a mid-day nap. The food and service in the Bistro were outstanding. The location is great-walking distance to the train station and most other attractions in... More

Excellently located old style hotel (with a modern annex which is where I stayed) in central utrecht. For a leasurely stroll around this beautiful city it just couldnt be located any better. The staff is friendly and helpful, but not overly so. I booked a room with a queen size bed, which turned out to be two singles put together... More

We spent 3 days in Karel V this Christmas. It is situated in a vey good spot within the old city. Friendly staff, spacious room, very interesting restoration of an old hospital. Only negative, their famous restaurant was closed on New Year's Eve More

I only stayed here for one night, but it was extremely pleasant. The hotel itself is gorgeous - wonderful rooms and location, and the staff were very helpful. A short walk to the centre of the city, which is a wonderfully compact and vibrant environment. Perhaps a little on the expensive side for a hotel in such a small city,... More

The Karel V is a very good choice for anyone looking for a hotel close to the center of Utrecht where you don't want to hire a car and do want to be able to walk to all of the shops and local attractions. My recollection from a previous stay in the Karel V was that the rooms in the... More
