The Admiraal is a small hotel in a quiet residential street just outside the centre of Utrecht. It's a 5-10 minute walk to the bus stop Oorsprongpark, from which there are very frequent buses (e.g. 4, 53, 77) into town. Overall it's 15-20 minutes to the heart of the old city, which is incidentally quite lovely. Same time to the... More

We loved this hotel and have already recommended it (& Utrecht) to friends. Although slightly out of the city centre, it's worth the short ride, if only to watch the 'fancy' hens & admire the garden from veranda of back facing rooms

I stayed at De Admiraal in May, 2011, during a work conference. The hotel is ideal for business or pleasure: centrally located, quiet and extremely comfortable, very clean, and featuring delicious, very reasonably priced breakfast each morning in the sunny front room. Exit through the back garden doors during daylight hours and find yourself traversing a long, lovely garden to... More

I recently stayed for the second time at this much-praised hotel, and once again found it to be exceptionally good value for the money. The building has character and charm, the rooms are extremely quiet and comfortable, there is gorgeous garden giving on to a peaceful canal, the food is gourmet, and the hosts are eminently charming, well-informed, gracious, helpful,...

This hotel is located outside the city centre, which makes it a nice place for quality sleep. The bus stop is ca. 100 m away and the ride down town takes ca. 12 min. The host is very friendly, perhaps a bit too hospitable and attentive, but the service is impeccable. My room was nice, even though the bathroom was... More

This hotel is a little way out of town (about a 20 minute walk from the main square and 30 minutes from the station) but it's well worth the extra bit of exercise for the peace and quiet that you get here. The views are stunning and the little garden (backing on to the canal) is very picturesque. More importantly... More

With only 8 rooms, the Admiraal is an intimate hotel. It is located in a quiet residential section of Utrecht. The proprietors live in, along with a couple of cats and some chickens. The owners are both warm hosts and excellent hotel operators. You forget if you are a guest or a customer. In fact you are both. The excellent... More

If you want to know how it would be to live in one of these typical very narrow Dutch houses, including climbing these incredibly steep stairways to your room, then chose this hotel. In addition, the very friendly owner makes you really feel at home. The hotel is located in a very quiet residential area a little bit off the... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and did day trips around the Netherlands and really loved it. We had a lot of trouble finding the place from the train station. It is several kms from there. Once we found it though thanks to several helpful locals, we had a wonderful stay. The hotel is located in a quiet street on... More
