"Erg goed hotel op uitstekende locatie in het centrum van Utrecht."

9.0

Erg goed, comfortabel hotel. Zeer gastvrije medewerkers. Heerlijke keuken. Locatie midden in de stad met goede parkeerfaciliteiten ook heel fijn.

Het ontbijt op zondagochtend was een chaos. Gerechten stonden verdeeld opgesteld in verschillende ruimten en tafels waren half of niet gedekt... Desondanks was het personeel - dat soms zelf ook niet wist of begreep waar bestek en kommetjes te vinden waren - uiterst behulpzaam.

Schnelligkeit des Serviceteams im Restaurant, Bestellungen aufzunehmen und zu servieren kann einen guten Schritt schneller erfolgen, ohne die Gemütlichkeit zu beeinträchtigen...

"Einen schönen ausgestattetes Hotel, schlechte Personalführung und zudem stimmt der Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis überhaupt"

6.0

Die Lage und das Design sind richtig gut. Sehr schöne Möbeln, Eingangsbereich.

Das personal wird leider nicht so gut geführt, an der Rezeption ist man nicht sehr freundlich und desorientiert. Wir sind am Tag meines Geburtstags dort angereist und es gab nicht mal eine Aufmerksamkeit vom Hotel wie ein Fläschchen Sekt. Bei der Nachfrage wurde uns gesagt, wir können euch eine Flasche Wasser geben. Was soll das in einem Fünfsternehotel? Richtig enttäuschend! So etwas habe ich bis jetzt nirgendswo gesehen. Die Klimaanlage hat im Zimmer nicht gut funktioniert, in der Dusche läuft das Wasser unter der Tür raus.

The hotel is beautiful with gorgeous grounds and in an excellent location. The staff are excellent, professional and extremely helpful. The breakfast is good with a wide choice of good quality produce and it's nice to eat outdoors when the weather is fine. Brasserie and bar were good too.

The weather was very warm and even on the highest setting the aircon wasn't great. The walk-in shower flooded the bathroom floor irrespective of where the shower head was angled. I was surprised that there was a charge for bottled water in the room as most hotels of this standard provide a couple for free daily.
