Boutique Hotel Museumkwartier

What an exceptional, lovely place. The furnishings were amazing. Truly the work of a museum--it wasn't like staying in a hotel at all. Breakfast brought right to our room. Service was outstanding. Thank you! Special note: There isn't a traditional hotel check-in desk. Instead, there are instructions on the front door to get someone to come over and bring you in. Not a problem, and they were right quick. LOVED IT. Sometimes, I get lucky and happen upon a great hotel choice. I'm not sure what the magic was this time, but my family gave me all the credit. :-)

Charming little B&B in a building full of character. Probably we had bad luck and a series of coincidences made our stay good instead of great, unfortunately. The stay in Utrecht was a gift for my sister’s birthday and I wanted to surprise her with something very nice. Although we filled in the online check in form with arrival/breakfast time no one could welcome us at the reception. Nevertheless, the housekeeping staff was so nice and showed us the room… which, later, turned out to be reserved for other guests. We received a phone call while strolling through the city center and were asked to come back and exchange the keys. Although the same category, our new room had no fridge (drinks were kept next to the tv), had less charm and was noisy (ground floor, next to the entry and hallway… people passing on the street felt like being in our room). The beds were very cosy though. For the breakfast next day, no coffee with milk could be served as the machine was broken. We left the accomodation without the usual question if everything was ok but with the feeling that my expectations about what I would receive for 250 Euro were not met. I am sure that this is an exception and I am looking forward to a positive surprise for my next reservation.

We had been on a garden tour. After the tour, we moved from a busy part of Utrecht to the Hotel Museumkwartier, which is in a lovel, quiet and walkable part of town. The hotel is in an old house. We spoke to a young woman (who is the owner's daughter) who told us about the building. Originally built in the 1200's and then substantially renovated in the 1600's, it had been their family home up to seven years ago when it was converted to the hotel. Her father owns an antique store and is furnished with antiques. The wall.paper was wonderful. Our suite was at the back and overlooked trees and church spires. Our friend's room was at the front and overlooked the canal. Just so beautiful. We ordered their wonderful breakfast, which was brought to our suite up the spiral staircase every morning. Upon our arrival at the hotel and when we checked out, the hotel staff cheerfully carried our luggage up and down the staircase, too. This was excellent as two of us had thrown our backs out just prior to the trip. Although the hotel is furnished with antiques the bathrooms are delightfully warm and modern. Everything was so clean. It was nice to have a nicely appointed kitchen area. with dishes, cutlery, and cooking utensils. It had a half cooktop and a fridge. The fridge (which had a freezer) was full of all sorts of bottles for purchase which reduced the area to store purchased food. We resolved that by putting all the bottles in the crisper. The hotel is just one lovely block over from a shopping street that has an excellent grocery store, restaurants, and shopping. It was an easy walk over to the museums and the Dom. There are such nice paths along the canals. There were bicycles but only a few at a time. There were pedestrian and some cars and trucks too but it felt like we all were peacefully living together not like the bicycles were tryingto get us. It was very peaceful even though we arrived on the King's birthday! I liked the church bells ringing the hour and the half hour. I find it very peaceful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Stayed in the large family room. Friendly staff, in the heart of everything. Breakfast was superb and delivered to your door. Will definitely recommend. Only issue the mezzanine beds have steep stairs so be prepared and may be difficult for very young or old.

A fabulous quirky hotel. Beautiful room with a canal view. Recently refurbished bathroom. Comfortable huge bed. Delicious continental breakfast delivered to your room. They were super helpful, storing our bags and answering our random requests. We would definitely stay here again.
