Crowne Plaza Utrecht - Central Station

"We stayed there for two nights when visiting Utrecht for a sports event. We choose it because it is equally convenient for both the train station and the city centre. We stayed in a Premium room, which was comfortable. However, the view out of the window was basically a buidling site. The breakfast selection was good, but the layout of the buffet isn't ideal when it is crowded. Not much that can be done about that with the space avalable however. Lots of eating option nearby. The first night we were tired so ate at the Lebanese restaurant literally next door. Fine for a quick and affordable option. The second night we enjoyed a walk in the ovely town centre and ate in a small restaurant called Luc. This was very pleasant (see separate review)."

"The main asset of this hotel is its location: a 3-minute walk from the train station on one side, and the same distance from the historic city on the other. The first impression is quite original: the hotel entrance is located in the large Hoog Catharijne shopping center, at the restaurant level. But rest assured: the reception and the restaurant are on the 3rd floor, and the rooms start from the 7th, which allows you to enjoy great quiet inside the building. The rooms are simple, properly soundproofed, and highly functional. Perhaps they lack a bit of decorative flair, but in this type of "standard" establishment, one knows what to expect. The breakfast is classic (buffet), but varied and complete. A very positive point: the staff is very courteous and smiling. In short: without being the most memorable hotel of our lives, the Crown Plaza does the job perfectly and is an excellent starting point for discovering the very pretty city of Utrecht."

"When we arrived for a 15-day stay in Utrecht, we were initially a bit disappointed to find that the room was somewhat small, especially given all the luggage we had for two weeks. However, there is no better example than this hotel to prove that people make the difference. We want to give special praise to the team at the bar and restaurant, both during breakfast and whenever we popped in for dinner or drinks. They couldn't have been kinder, more dedicated, or warmer. They made us feel truly at home. Rarely in my life have I felt so well taken care of at a hotel, especially during such a long stay. Beyond the wonderful service, the hotel itself is very comfortable, spotless, and surprisingly quiet. The location is ideal—just steps from the central station and town center. Huge congratulations to the team! >"
