Service - pretty friendly staff. Value - good value. Sleep Quality - fine. Cleanliness - fine. Location - 10 mins walk to the station. Felt a bit unsafe walking to hostel - a few dodgy characters on the nearby main street at night. Rooms - sink inside room for brushing teeth/handwashing. Rooms were too dim. We booked a double room... More

We had a lovely time here. Very friendly staff and the rooms were clean. It sure is different than any hostels i stayed in before. They have a big livingroom and we made some new good friends here. We love the fact that they care about the environment, I would recommend this place for sure!

The best hostel I have ever been! Absolute value for money, really nice and well decorated common room, clean and organised kitchen, cabinets with lockers for personal belongings. Clean and well organised common showers and bathrooms, nice woody rooms! Happy and welcoming staff, really a homy place! Definitely the hostel to go in Utrecht!

The pros of Strowis are that if your focus is to stay in Utrecht rather than near Amsterdam, you should be pleased with the central location. It's also reasonably priced overall and has a lovely dining room/common area and outdoor area where they play great music. However, the downsides were big downsides for my partner and I. Firstly, most staff... More

I have stayed in Strowis once a week for almost a year long because of business travels to Utrecht. This Hostel is central located in the heart of Utrecht and has plenty of shops and supermarkets just around the corner. It takes a 10-15 minute walk from the central station, or 5 minutes by bus. Also Amsterdam can be reached... More

Room for 2 was really nice, some of the... More

How can you argue with prices?! Contrary to other reviews, I found the two staff members I interacted with to be pleasant and helpful! I did not have many expectations for my stay, so I was not let down. The locker was plenty big enough for my 48L pack, and I imagine it could accommodate up to 70L. The locker... More
