Utrecht City Apartments - Maliesingel

We didn't kike the idea of having to call 30 mins before arriving to get the keys handed over in person and it felt like a bit of a hassle to arrange that we could get the keys with a code

Very comfortable apartment in a great, quiet location. Comfortable, short walk into the old city and its many attractions and general ambiance typical of beautiful, historic Dutch cities. If you plan ahead, the train runs from Maliebaan (Museum) Station to Utrecht Centraal hourly during the day for euro3 and that station is only 150m away from the apartment (when you have luggage). The heating worked well - very responsive.

Don't underestimate how steep the steps are. They are typical of many old Dutch properties but that doesn't mean they are not tricky with luggage. If you are not sure on your feet, this place may not be for you. When living in NL some years ago, I often commented that the Dutch are confused between stairs and ladders :) . There was a nasty, wafting smell coming from the shower drain. The smell came and went but was there most days. Maybe not easy to fix but something needs attention.

The bed was incredibly comfortable, slept really well. The shower was good, water pressure great. Location was great, lovely walk to markets and cafes, historic buildings, and shops. The rooms had great natural light.

The stairs were really steep to the second level. Very difficult as over 60’s to get medium suitcases up and down.

Mooie ruimte, erg netjes, mooi ingericht, leuk terras, ideale locatie

Lawaai van de buren, draadloos streamen op de tv werkte niet goed

Nice location but a little out of the centre (25 minutes walk). Good facilities.
