Grand Hotel Karel V

Disappointing. Looks the part but lots of issues: lack of serving staff, grand spaces but not much to them, mini bar extortionate and balcony room a bit pointless as you cannot sit out there. In a good part of town and the wellness area although small was quite good.

Not too expensive for what you get, an experience

Royally pleasant!

Stunning hotel - fantastic service, breakfast staff in particular were so wonderful. The wellness suite is also great. Excellent location and rooms.

This hotel leaves nothing to be desired. High-quality hotel and rooms. Beautiful grounds, excellent location – close to the city center. Very friendly staff.

Beautiful hotel, and right in the old center of Utrecht. Beautiful gardens and fantastic service on all fronts.

We had a great couple of nights at the Karel V hotel. The room and bathroon were specious and the seperate WC had a basin in it - really welcome but quite rare. It was equipped to the standard I expectt from a 5* hotel and housekeeping kept it that way. All the staff were absolutely brilliant - incredibly helpful and friendly - the reception team in particular (thanks Jet!) giving us recommendations and suggestions and nothing was too much trouble. We didn't eat dinner in the hotel (book in advance to secure a table) but there are so many great restaurants within a few minutes walk that wasn't an issue. The breakfast was of the usual high standard (with crispy bacn - another rare thing!) and again nothing was too much trouble. Finally, like its service and accomodation, the location this hotel is unbeatable with ample parking (paid) and EV chargers. We fell in love with Utrecht and hope to return again next year and we will certainly stay at the Grand Hotel Karel V
