Beautiful hotel, conveniently located in walking distance of Hoog Catharijnen. Very attentive and welcoming staff, gorgeous bedrooms with comfortable beds. The rooms have complimentary bathrobes and slippers. Breakfast is first class and the dining area is stunning as is the rest of the building. There’s a small pool with a whirlpool and sauna. Everything is clean. There are plenty of towels and shampoo and shower gel available. We stayed for two nights/three days with 5 adults ranging from 20-56 year old.

Nice hotel, decent rates, good bathroom, but really just lacking in information. First off, the hotel is in a mall, and there’s no indication of which doors are open after the mall closes and which aren’t. Google Maps is unaware of that, so if you’re relying on that or a similar service to get you back to the hotel, be aware that will not work, and employees will not provide you with useful information about this unless you ask. For the record, I eventually managed to enter via Catharinje Esplanade. Second, maybe it’s because I visited on a holiday, but there was no front desk or room service late at night, which would be totally fine IF that communication were provided. But there was no indication whatsoever that the supposedly 24 hour room service was not actually 24 hours. Again, certainly don’t begrudge employees a night off. But *management* needs to do a much better job communicating what services are or are not available and when. Don’t promise something your employees can’t deliver. If management would just set realistic expectations and provide a little more useful information, this would be a nice hotel.

This was advertised as a four star hotel . It wasn’t . Old and outdated with a musty smell in the halls. Dark and dingy room with no air conditioning. The room and bathroom were full of flies. The fitted sheets were so small that you would wake up every morning lying on the hard mattress. The shower (which was a bath unit with a shower attachment) totally soaked the floor whenever it was switched on and the shower screen wasn’t installed correctly. Breakfast on our first day consisted of a buffet with congealed scrambled egg and a unit which had only 4 slices of bacon . We were also offered chicken sausages which were disgusting . There was no toaster. We stayed for two nights and couldn’t wait to get out of the place . It was depressing .

Hotel DeBlend is located across from the headquarters of Douwe egberts in a semi-industrial area of town, but was very quiet and very convenient. The air conditioning is a terrible inconvenience just like it appears to be in every other European hotel except for the hunfelt. You are not actually in control of the temperature of your room it just makes it a little more cool for a little more warm. You don't have any real control. We found it got a bit warm at night. It is a primarily self-service hotel, but the instances where we required human assistance, the staff were very kind and accommodating. The kitchen is very convenient feature for anyone staying more than a few days. We highly recommend 2L DeBlend.

A really lovely hotel with quirky interior decor that works mixing modern and traditional. Staff super helpful and friendly right from the time of booking months in advance to the arrival and stay for 3 nights. Had a large twin bed room facing the street, comfy beds and pillows, great pressure in the walk in shower, all the necessary room amenities provided - iron/board/kettle etc. Breakfast choices were delicious with healthy choices. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Not only elevator construction but also next door parking house construction is disturbing your experience. If you turn left from elevator, you might think you walked thru portal to soviet union. Perhaphs some kind of temporary wall or curtain would be good there. Gym is really only a fitness room with few cardio equipment. Those were new and worked well, if you need such. Fitness room was well hidden, no signs until you reach the room (hint: 16th). Staff was friendly and easy to contact. Restaurant was good and always had few empty seats. But also breakfast area was hidden strange way into last end of restaurant. Cannot find any views at any direction, you can choose highway, industrial area, swamp or warehouse. Because of the construction works, I suggest delay visit until they finish that. But if only location matters, this is just fine.

GGrinday07It was a nice hotel that I would like to visit Utrecht again to stay at this hotel.
It's about 15 minutes walk from Utrecht Central Station, but I didn't personally care about that point because the city itself is easy to walk. (Utrecht attractions are also within walking distance)
The room was in the shape of a maisonette and had a deep bathtub. I felt the hotel's commitment to the interior and amenities.
Fresh fruit was prepared and breakfast was simple, but it was very delicious.
And above all, the hotel staff was very kind.
Also, when I visit Utrecht, I would like to stay at ZIES.
RRakeshGreat location. Close to lots of shops and easy access to the bus services. Off a busy street but room was quiet. Nice sized room with all the basic things you will need. I didn't have the breakfast but it is available for purchase separately and looked quite nice. Overall a lovely stay and would consider it again in the future.
RRed PWe had a wonderful time at the Court Hotel and would definitely stay again when we return to Utrecht. We initially booked one of the canal rooms but didn't realise that they were in a different location to the main hotel. The room was nice and only a few minutes walk away but as we were holidaying with a friend who was in the main hotel we asked if we could move. This was arranged without any fuss and we were extremely happy with our new room. The hotel is clean and modern and located in a quiet area minutes from the centre. The staff were friendly and welcoming and our experience was really positive. We plan to return as soon as possible.
Looking for a boutique hotel in the center of Utrecht, I was advised to check out Hotel Simple. Booked one night on the top floor, not cheap, but you definitely get a lot of Value for your money. The room was (almost) perfect, breathtaking views of the Dom tower and the nearby church from my private terrace. It was a shame the November temperatures were quite chilly, so I guess I must come back when the sun shines in Utrecht and enjoy a drink overlooking one of Utrecht’s cultural highlights. The room had a luxurious bed which guaranteed a good night sleep, great bath which was relaxing after day of downtown Utrecht. Small improvement suggestions, please install a mirror close to the water including a lamp, so a man can have good shave. Also, the internet speed was way below I would expect to have in a Dutch hotel of this level, although I do have to admit that my room was on the 3rd floor in the reception area it was good. In the end I haven’t been able to dine in the restaurant, which was my biggest mistake as it is one of the best in restaurants in town. One more reason to come back. All in all a wonderful experience, a must do when you’re in Utrecht and in for a treat.
GGuest UserWij hebben een ontzettend fijn verblijf gehad in dit hotel. Personeel is allemaal bijzonder vriendelijk. De Queenkamer was knus, gezellig en erg schoon. Koffie en thee op de kamer en heerlijke luxe doucheproducten in grote flessen aan de muur (zelfs aan conditioner en bodylotion is gedacht!). Heerlijke comfortabele bedden en warme inrichting. Ontbijt vonden wij heerlijk; ook hierbij was aan alles gedacht en zelfs toen wij ons vergist hadden in de tijd werd alles uit de kast gehaald om het ons toch naar de zin te maken. Het hotel is inderdaad ietwat gehorig maar ik denk ook dat dat veelal met het sociaal gedrag van andere gasten te maken heeft. Als ik midden in de nacht naar mijn hotelkamer ga dan ben ik gewoon stil maar helaas is niet iedereen zo en dan wordt je inderdaad wakker ‘s nachts. Afstand tot centrum is super. Wij zouden zeker nog eens terug komen!
禹禹The location of the hotel is very good, the environmental sanitation is in place, and it is very convenient to go everywhere. The hotel is along the street, and the noise of cars and bars downstairs is somewhat affected. In short, the experience is good.
