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. The hotel is located close to the railway station and the centre of Utrecht. The small downsides were that the buffet breakfast wasn't as good as... more

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

Everything about this Hotel deserved the highest praise. Staff, Bedroom and excellent bathrooms. The cellar bar is a great place to end the day. If not eating at the hotel I can strongly... more
