This is a historic facility but nicely redone. It oozes history and European culture while still being comfortable. The property is rather sprawling but that's the price you pay for staying in a historic building complex. The central courtyard is gravel which I found hard to walk on but was part of the ambiance. The bedding was very comfortable. The... More

This hotel is often used by my company for travel to Utrecht. Service is friendly and responsive. Location within Utrecht is excellent as I is minutes away walk to Utrecht central station which will get you anywhere in the Netherlands. It is also located in the old city near the canals. I recommend the free museum at the Rabobank Nederland... More

The Karel V hotel is located in an impressive property. Though as a whole the hotel lacks charm and attention to detail. Once you enter the main lobby you see that the hotel is in great need of renovation, the place is vast and somewhat cold with very few furnishings to liven it up. We were placed in the pavilion...

This hotel is perfect for a city trip to the historic city of Utrecht. It is located within walking distance from the Dom tower and old city center, in a park like setting. The rooms are very large and well appointed with comfortable beds. Parking your car is a breeze (though not free), and the hotel is easy to find... More

Very comfortable hotel, easy walk from train station. Good location for city centre. My room was in modern Roman Wing. Also used bar in main building - very friendly. There is a fitness centre with pool, but didn't get to try this unfortunately.

Stayed here just one night and ate in the restaurant. Rooms were spacious and comfortable with large shower and separate bath. Very Lovely large restaurant with chandeliers , a large elaborate setting with waiters in black tie and tails. The food was perhaps rather pretentious , too much style over substance. Pleasant flavours and an experience, expensive also . Had... More

This extraordinary hotel really lived up to my expectation. Also, the unique location and the fact that it is spread across several buildings makes this a great place to stay. Welcoming staff at reception and a fantastic hotel room with a comfortable bed & bedlinen will want me come back for more. Walking distance from the central station and the... More
