This hotel is a very conveniently located close to two major highways, when you have a car and looking for business meetings nearby. The staff was very friendly. The room however, was average at best. For instance, I didn’t have a safe or closet, or fridge in the room. The room was also very small. Breakfast options were extremely limited as well.

During my recent stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Utrecht, I found the experience to be quite pleasant overall. The hotel boasts a modern design with clean and spacious rooms, which contributed to a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing helpful recommendations for local dining options and ensuring that my needs were met throughout my visit. Pros: - Clean and Comfortable Rooms: The accommodations were well-maintained, featuring comfortable beds and modern amenities, including a good shower and free internet access. - Friendly Staff: The reception team was welcoming and eager to assist, enhancing the overall experience. - Convenient Amenities: The hotel offers bike rentals, which is a great way to explore the area. However, one notable drawback was the lack of outdoor seating areas for guests. While the interior of the hotel was inviting, it would have been nice to have designated spaces outside where guests could relax or smoke. This absence made it difficult for those who enjoy spending time outdoors or need a place to unwind outside of their rooms. In summary, while the Holiday Inn Express Utrecht provided a solid stay with its modern facilities and attentive service, incorporating outdoor seating areas would significantly enhance the guest experience.

This hotel, while somewhat out of the way, was still fairly convenient with the bus stop right near by. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful, but we found the temperature in the room would go from too hot to too cold. But other than that, it was a pleasant stay and I’d stay there again.

Lovely Serene Retreat

This charming 3 star hotel was a delight. It is off the beaten track, but the charm is in the seclusion and the peaceful surroundings. However, pedestrians are well catered for by buses which are a short walk from the hotel. Utrecht Center and the Railway station can be reached in around 10 to 12 minutes. The room was small - but adequate for a single person. Very quiet and very clean - as were the corridors. The bed was sumptuous, and the towels and linen were spotless. Shower and bathroom were immaculate. Larger individuals will have no trouble moving around in the shower as it was very spacious. The shower floor can be very - very slippery when wet - alleviated by standing on a towel. The room did feature a kettle, but was without a fridge. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Windows were fixed - with a narrow side panel which can be opened to let in fresh air. However, the room temperature can be regulated. I had a wonderful two night stay here.

Nice hotel around the Papendrop area of Uterecht. Has good public (bus) transport to Uterecht centrum. Breakfast could do with some additional choices. They do have a restaurant but if you get in late they can rustle up a decent hot pizza in the bar area.
