What a lovely hotel in the heart of Utrecht! The experience was excellent and the staff were super friendly and did everything they could to make my stay a great one. I also really appreciated the kind way they dealt with a mix up on reservation dates that was not their fault.

Nice little boutique hotel. Bit difficult to get to with a car, but once you’re there, it’s great. Staff were really nice and the breakfast option in the neighboring vegetarian restaurant was great.

The hotel is in a super central location, easily walkable from train station. Decor and ambience is quirky, staff on front desk were, for the most part, friendly and helpful. Room located on first floor was simply just too small to be called comfortable. The sink is bizarrely located within the bedroom, as is the shower. A couple of hairs found in corner of sink on first day :( No chest of drawers, no wardrobe and only room to hang 5 items of clothing- totally impractical for stays of more than a couple of days. No privacy with blinds open: 3 windows on a corner room with buildings adjacent (and close) meant we had to keep them closed most of the time for any privacy. Room was turned over every day but sheets not changed during our 4 night stay. Returned to our room on final evening to find hand soap was not replenished (completely empty) and although fresh towels were provided, the used ones were still in the shower where we’d left them in the morning. Biggest gripe- after returning to the hotel one afternoon during a thunderstorm, we found the hotel entrance locked with nobody on reception. There is nowhere to shelter. Outside buzzer appeared not to work and nobody was answering the phone. We waited in the rain with another guest for 15mins until a further guest arrived with their key. Barely an apology from the staff member on duty who appeared confused that she had not heard the phone. Generally a nice little boutique hotel, but really needs more attention to detail.

Great base for getting to know the city
Right in the centre of things - a friendly spot from which to explore. The room commanded a good view of the Domtor and the goose market obvs. The vegan breakfast wasn’t for me but there are lots of cafes nearby. Good curtains to block out the early sunshine and I slept well!

This is easily one of the best stays I've had in the entire world. The room is cozy, all amenities carefully thought out, and very friendly and helpful staff. I won't have to think about where to stay on my next visit as mother goose is perfectly excellent
