This is the second tine that I have stayed in the hotel on business and I was just as impressed as the first time. This is not the typical chain hotel having once been a Napoleonic hospital. It has several buildings some very old looking and some much newer. All are well equipped and comfortable although don't expect level floors... More

What I liked about Karel V were the rooms in the main building. Got originally a room next to the main building which I did not like that much. That building looked new, reminded me of a transformed school and had problems with the airconditioning also and the room was too small. We were moved without much problems though and... More

If you are looking for a place to stay and want it to have some history and a certain level of service, you should choose Karel V. It has several buildings. We stayed in the napoleonic one which has spa in it. It also has a reknown restaurant as well as a brasserie, but we did not make reservations for... More

We needed a place to park for a short one-day visit in Utrecht. The property is well-located for a walk into the tourist area and the parking was very easy/safe. The people were exceptionally friendly and very helpful. The city, unfortunately for us, was awesome and worth more than a one-night stay. The only cons of the hotel was that... More

This is a lovely hotel filled with character in a great location in the historic part of Utrecht. The staff were incredibly friendly and the bellman shared a bit of history and showed us a few interesting quirks of the building. On site parking is a real plus. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was a very nice... More

A very nice hotel on the grounds and buildings of a former monastery (Order of the Tuetonic Knights). This many century old place has been renovated with the Knights, ensuring that the place kept their valors in place. So what you get is a spartan area, but done with style and luxury. The whole domain is almsot in the center... More

This is a historic facility but nicely redone. It oozes history and European culture while still being comfortable. The property is rather sprawling but that's the price you pay for staying in a historic building complex. The central courtyard is gravel which I found hard to walk on but was part of the ambiance. The bedding was very comfortable. The... More

This hotel is often used by my company for travel to Utrecht. Service is friendly and responsive. Location within Utrecht is excellent as I is minutes away walk to Utrecht central station which will get you anywhere in the Netherlands. It is also located in the old city near the canals. I recommend the free museum at the Rabobank Nederland... More
