Grand Hotel Karel V Review

Very good bistro in a nice setting and kitchens totally open on the room. From research into well-prepared dishes and plates. Professional and pleasant service.

Due to a city walk at the hotel. It looks beautiful.

Fairly neat and stately hotel on the edge of the center with a 5-minute walk you are in the city center near sights and the Dom tower

Beautiful classic hotel great food a friendly staff

Nice hotel, the old military hospital !! A bit pricey but it is worth it

Friendly service and cozy atmosphere. The environment blakbij the center is perfect.

Within walking distance of Utrecht Central easily accessible by public transport. Chic hotel with a classic look.

Beautiful location. Well cared for delicious food. Good to walk from the station and very friendly people.

excellent parking, excellent staff, quiet beautiful rooms in the city center, excellent beds, good breakfast. It fully meets what you can expect from such a Hotel.

What a great hotel. In a prime location. An idyllic piece of history and garden in the heart of Utrecht. Excellent hospitality. Breakfast also super. I do understand why Charles the Fifth liked to stay here;).

Lovely hotel right in the heart of beautiful Utrecht

Everything is right at Karel V. Atmosphere, cleanliness, correctness of staff, location. Beautiful location in the middle of Utrecht.

Definitely a five star hotel. Impeccable service, friendly staff that really interacts with the guests. Good sized rooms (especially in the main building) with all the mod cons. Breakfast is buffet and a la crate (the eggs Benedictine are to die for). Not cheap but worth it.

Really class. Especially because of the service and the wines I like to come back here.

A very nice hotel with very friendly staff.
But there is a big problem and that is breakfast: The service in the breakfast room does not meet the expectations for such a hotel in this price range. No real reception when entering the breakfast room. No coffee service at the table or only when requested. A friendly greeting and instruction is missing. The staff looked confused and there was no concept or management. Every standard hotel offers better service than in Hotel Karel and that was a big disappointment.
Tip: it is imperative to make improvements here if you want to keep up with international hotels.

Perfect hotel for the perfect night. Thank you Grand Hotel Karel V

Delicious food combined with a wine package that fits perfectly with the dishes! Really recommended!

Excellent service and accommodations. Staff is super friendly.

The room was clean and the reception was always available and the people were very nice. A very good experience. Great food too!

The location is unique, just tranquility in the city.

The room was ready for an up-date.

Fantastic place in the center, friendly people, a regular client vd beautician who works there. Overall great and friendly!

Wat een fantastische omgeving en subliem gegeten! Een culinair hoogstandje!

This five star hotel is located in the middle of Utrecht, on walking distance from the shopping centre. The hotel has a grand style and lots of old treasures are placed in big glass vitrines. The rooms are spacious and parking is available infront of the hotel.
Enjoyable bar in the back, we asked die a wine list. And we found a wonderful Pinot Noir from New Zealand.

Nice old building, a bit confusing with all kinds of corridors, but the very friendly staff is happy to help you further. Great food, nicely served.

Requesting a quote for an event is difficult. I have done my best to write a good application and I have to spend some money for a good event. After request via the website I receive a standard response from an intern within 5 minutes. I do not have the impression that our application was taken very seriously.

It is a nice hotel with prices that seem reasonable. There are different types of rooms. I was in the Roman wing. The room I had was very large but felt also very dated: furniture, lights, bathroom all seemed to have seen better days.
The bedding could also do with a refresh as my bed was very very soft.
The breakfast was nice but I have seen bigger buffets to choose from.
The garden at the center of the hotel is very nice and very relaxing.
The hotel is very near the center, few minutes walk are necessary to get there.

Perfect five star hotel in Utrecht. Also a historic place where Emperor Charles V came to stay to attend the meetings of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The canopy of oak beams in the main building is a historic landmark. You would have a meeting here for fun. Furthermore, two excellent restaurants, beautiful gardens including the closed former officer garden. And many historical details can be seen in the building, including the heartstone of Charles V above the fireplace in the main restaurant.

Nice place. I have stayed 2 times an had best ever experience
.

Fantastic historic location good service.
Not a Michelin star (anymore).

Walk around the historic site made with the local residents (lantern tour). Is a remains a special and beautiful place ...

Coffee was delicious, music was great, and cake was one hundred percent.

Amazing hotel, has a beautiful quaint garden and has a great breakfast buffet

The ribs very good. The salads very good. The bad desserts

Hotel 5 was definitely at least high level in the I was a great great fun suite

Beautiful historic location in the center of Utrecht with a large private garden. Great ambiance. Enthusiastic and committed staff.

Grand hotel in a historic building. Limited parking space on site. Friendly service. There are two restaurants, we opted for the cheaper bistro restaurant, which was a bit disappointing. The atmosphere was also cold, the restaurant was almost empty.

Nice big rooms at a small upgrade rate. Sunny and large quiet garden, prime location in the center!

Very prestigious luxury hotel with a very traditional design. In our room (Roman wing) a lamp was defective and when using the shaving mirror a fuse jumped. The mattress also had its best time. Breakfast buffet is super extensive and tasty, also a la carte at no extra cost, as well as breakfast in the room. Service always very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location in the middle of the city with free parking.

Unfortunately I cannot say anything about the service and food and drink of this beautiful hotel in the heart of the city of Utrecht, but about the location of the hotel on one of the oldest streets of Utrecht, namely the Springweg on one side and the Geertebolwerk on the other side.
For me, that is the nicest place in the city.
The photo can tell you more about the beautiful location on the inner gardens of the former Military Hospital, but that was a long time ago.

It is a shame that you will not receive an exit ticket if you have lunch at the Hotel.

A beautiful hotel with a great restaurant; near everything in Utrecht.

The cleanliness should have been much better, many appliances in the room would be broken. And you can carry your own luggage at a '' 5 star hotel '' I can not recommend this hotel

We had the brewery day menu, which means 2 courses for about 35 euros. Fresh food, pleasant surroundings, attentive staff. The preparation is done live, in the room and we see the staff at work. A treat for both eyes and taste buds.

Do not go here without a reservation. There is a distinction between nicely set tables for business lunch and other guests. The bistro menu offers nothing special, just a hamburger, ceasarsalad and the like.

Hotel with a fairytale atmosphere in the center of Utrecht.
The rooms are spacious and well furnished and the bathrooms have both a shower and a bathtub.
The wellness center is a bit small but has everything you need, such as swimming pool, whirlpool, sauna and Turkish bath; Also interesting is the fact that guests are offered bottles of fresh water and fresh fruit.
The small brasserie has typical Dutch furniture, with wood and decorated tiled walls and an open kitchen. The food is great, but the portions are a little generous.
The breakfast is very abundant and full of choices, between salty and sweet.

Fantastic location. Really such a traditional old hotel with grandeur. At 200 meters from the old center. If you look at the room rate and how close you are to the city center, this is an insanely good alternative to Amsterdam.

Fantastic stay, very good food, friendly staff and beautiful city.

Lunched in the Brasserie.
The entire complex is larger than expected. The building, the decor, the atmosphere, it all fits well together and is very pleasant. The brasserie is cozy (especially with the cook in the middle of the restaurant).
The food is certainly not worth 5 stars. With a fairly complicated menu (making a choice is a daunting task), a fairly simple dish is served on the plate. Now the prices are not high, but our expectations are not met, let alone exceeded.
The cheese platter also only has 1 surprising cheese, the rest is standard (and is not in the right order, incidentally) and is much too briefly dressed, here more creativity can really be unleashed.

The name suspects great class but for me that is not true.

Nice hotel, some repairs must be performed, very nice personnel, lovely town.

Love this hotel. Great facility. It's fairly big and in centre of the city.

Beautiful hotel, nice spacious rooms. Breakfast is somewhat pricey but very extensive and fresh. Wide choice. Atmosphere in the hotel is nice. Location is excellent.

It was as usual this morning again.
Super ambiance, excellent breakfast with an extremely friendly service.
We will be repeating again soon! Definitely recommended.
Greetings Rene Joor

Simply my best Hotel experience in the Netherlands so far. A quiet and picturesque place at 5 minutes lovely walk of shops, restaurants and cultural must see's. And on top of all, the crew was incredibly kind and helpful. Will be back!

Nice and clean Hotel with nice and knowledgeable Staff, parking at Hotel in the middle of the Center. We really enjoyed it

Great location within Utrecht while guaranteeing a silent classy ambiance. Rooms are very well styled, very completely equipped, at a decent price level

Five star hotel. Great location, great event location.

Beautiful historic place. You will be welcomed and treated well.

By far the best hotel experiance ive ever had. Love this place

Beautiful hotel in the center of Utrecht ... huge room and clean ... everything perfect ...

Eaten i.v.m. Christmas dinner company. Nice ambiance and very friendly staff. Parking also fine. We had a 5-course dinner for around 80 people, spread over 10 tables. Each corridor took a fairly long time (7 pm open and 0:30 the last corridor was cleared). Food was fine in itself, but the main course (venison and stew) was very disappointing: it was cold and bland of taste. Tafelgenoot had a vegetarian main dish and only had a few red beets diced with some decoration around it.

Beautiful hotel, clean rooms, comfortable bed, in a fantastic location.

The cuisine here is seriously fantastic, and above all very imaginative, food here is really a nice experience. If you don't want to break the bank, have dinner in the bistro. Make a reservation. Note: If someone in your party has a hearing aid, ask when reserving a table in a corner, in the middle of the hall's acoustics otherwise just not ideal.

Great hotel with nice facilities. Nice garden and a nice wellness. Here and there you can see the antiquity of the hotel.

On Sunday the service at breakfast was slightly less than on the Saturday.

Had dinner with Karel v. Special experience. Certain beer was recommended, it turned out not to be present. When ordered dish. Steak with sweet potato. Sweet potato turned out not to be in stock. Asked for baked More

Beautiful location, friendly staff and well-kept meeting rooms.

Beautiful hotel with a lot of history. Big spacious rooms with cozy beds. One thing I didn't find fitting was the shower that's a little "cheap" for the price of a hotel room.

Great location with parking in the middle of the city. Very nice staff. Spa and swimmingpool a little bit small for a 5 star hotel.
