The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and the gardens are well maintained, that being said i thought the quality of the room was poorly kept (the bath had red scratch marks, the false ceiling had gaps near the walls, the basin in the bathroom was dirty, the drinking glasses had dust on them etc) The breakfast was nice however food...

The third time now I chosed that quite nice hotel at the very center of Utrecht. In general very clean and nice. However - as travelled more than 100 countries around the globe - I would indeed expect the added value here in this hotel according to the price to pay and the 5 star category. Pls don't get me...

Go to Utrecht just for this....no kidding....I could spend my whole life in this hotel! It is a little tricky finding this place, especially if you did not have a GPS like us....would highly recommend a GPS. No problem finding Utrecht...once you get in, unless you are a local...good luck. Get a GPS for sure. Once we found Karel V.....every... More

My wife and I have stayed at Karel V several times. I am a Dutch living abroad and usually stay here whenever I come over.

The first is the fact that a substantial number of the rooms are not attached to the main body of the hotel but across a rather pretty courtyard. This would be fine on a dry warm summer's evening but certainly would... More

It is a disappointing experience at the supposed Michelin-starred restaurant. The waiter spilled red wine on the foot of the wine glass. Not only was the glass not changed, it was not even wiped. If one did not notice this, red wine will stain the clothes! Food was good but not really exciting. Waiters not knowledgeable about the food at... More

Our room was not exceptional being the standard category in the new "roman" wing, but it was entirely satisfactory. The hotel is wonderful with lots of buildings and large grounds. Customer service and helpfulness of staff can't be faulted. The restaurant prices were way out of our range but the brasserie was good and reasonably priced although the duck was... More
