The former palace, now the hotel, exudes a leisurely atmosphere from the inside out. The hotel is located in the old town of Utrecht. It is very convenient to go everywhere. There are ample parking spaces. It is worth staying and experiencing.

It is the most reliable evaluation of it. The quality of the hotel is 300 euros a night. Listen to me, thank you

Perfekte Lage im wunderschönen Utrecht. Komfortables Parken für 25 Euro direkt am Hotel. Der Innenhof sehr gepflegt. Doch der Check-in gestaltete sich schon schwierig. Gebucht haben wir ein Zimmer über die Hotel-Internetseite. Beim Ankommen waren wir gezwungen ein Upgrade von 40 Euro zu bezahlen, weil wir angeblich ein Zimmer gebucht hatten, wo wir mit einem Hund nicht übernachten durften. Leider gibt es auf der Internetseite keine Möglichkeit einer Auswahl der Kategorien. Zusätzlich weitere 40 Euro für den Hund. Etwas überteuert, aber das nimmt man dann hin. Dafür gab es immerhin ein Kissen und Näpfe. Die Zimmer sehr geräumig aber nicht sehr gemütlich. Fleckiger Baldachin über dem Bett. Den 5. Stern sucht man leider vergeblich ...

A wonderful stay at this superb 5 Star hotel in the heart of the beautiful city of Utrecht. The wonderful Koen van der Berg and the team are the epitome of excellent customer services and high standards. This is my 4th visit and it won’t be my last. From the well appointed rooms and beautiful grounds to the excellent facilities, this has to be one of my favourite hotels. The Michelin Star Karel 5 Restaurant is simply sublime and an experience not to be missed. A culinary masterpiece awaits that scintillates the tastebuds and reveals delightful experiences in every bite. Chef Leon & his team bring theatre to the table. The passion and knowledge of the team ensures diners are captivated from the start of the performance. The star of the show is the ingredients and how they have been elevated into works of art and brought to life with classic, delicate finishes. I enjoyed every dish that was served on the meat & fish free set menu. Each one championing to be my favourite, only to push me into a quandary to decide which was the most memorable. A truly exceptional experience that embodies passion and excellence.

Een high tea gedaan bij Karel V, verwachtingen waren hoog van deze 5 sterren locatie. Vooraf kregen we een kom kreeftensoep (bisque om in hun Franse termen te spreken). Vind ik gewaagd bij een high tea, wordt niet gevraagd of je hiervan houdt. De soep was koud en onhandig te eten uit een grote kom met een theelepeltje. Wat betreft de scones die waren zo mini, plat en hard, en de daarbij behorende cream en jam was vreemd genoeg voor wel 40 ipv 4 scones. Broodje krabsalade zag er niet uit en was klef. Broodje zalm ging wel. Wat betreft het zoete gedeelte; daar konden we ook niet over naar huis schrijven. Bij een bakker haal ik het allemaal lekkerder, er was er één zo zoet dat die gewoon niet te eten was. Van het overige zoet is dan ook veel blijven liggen. En allemaal onder het mom van luxere hapjes. Nou laat het luxe er maar af, en er ook nog €49,00 voor durven te vragen. SCHANDALIG!! Ver boven de prijs van andere (en betere) high teas die we gedaan hebben. Dit was eens maar nooit meer.

5 Sterne-Zimmer gibt es hier , allerdings nur als Zimmer oder Suiten im Hauptgebäude. Schon im „Romanischen Flügel“ fällt das Niveau deutlich ab. Dieser Gebäudeteil mit ca 16 Zimmern („Luxuriöse Doppel/Zweibettzimmer“) liegt in erster Reihe an dem kleinen Park des Innenhofes. Man sollte kaum glauben, dass der Raum 33qm ( Zimmer 150 ff) groß sein soll, er wirkt kleiner. Das Besondere ist, dass man vom Garten den totalen Einblick in die Zimmer hat. Wen das stört oder kein Exhibitionist ist, der kann die Vorhänge zuziehen: allerdings Schluss mit Ausblick! Wegen meiner diesbezüglichen Reklamation bekam ich ein kostenloses Upgrade in die erste Etage (Zimmer 250ff). Dieses Zimmer hat eine Halbetage im spitzen Dach. Konsequenz: Die Basisebene mit Bett etc reduziert sich damit von ca 33qm auf weniger als 18qm. Oben findet sich ein kleines Sofa, Tisch, Stuhl und ein zweiter Fernseher. Hinauf geht es über eine steile Treppe (Gemessene 43°). Durch diese Konstruktion ist das Zimmer nicht etwa großzügig, sondern „zugebaut“. (Anmerkung: Was soll der zweite Fernseher? Laufen dann ein Western und ein Liebesfilm in lautstarker Konkurrenz?) Ein Ausblick ist schwierig, denn es gibt nur eine schmale Fensterreihe in Hüfthöhe. Ein einziges Klappfenster in ca 220cm Höhe lässt sich wegen der innen angebauten Jalousie nur 5cm öffnen. Frühstück Eigentlich nicht erwähnenswert, wenn da nicht der völlig unterkühlte und damit fast geschmacklose Obstsalat wäre. Für ein Käseland wie die Niederlande ist die Qualität der angebotenen Käseplatte und auch der Wurst ein Offenbarungseid. Auch der fettige Zuchtlachs verdient nicht gerade 5 Sterne, alles in allem einem solchem Hotel unwürdig. Ich habe schon in vielen 3 Sterne-Hotels zum halben Preis mehr als doppelt so gut gefrühstückt. Oder er sollte mal nachschauen, wie ein Frühstück im Oriental (BKK) oder im Peninsula (HKK) ausschaut. Gibt es auch etwas Gutes? Ja. Alles ist sehr gut eingerichtet, in einem modernen, gepflegten Zustand. Die Lage des Hotels ist optimal. Man ist unmittelbar an der Gracht bzw im Innenstadtbereich. Auch das Personal ist im gesamten Hotel kompetent und freundlich. Restaurant Man muss zwischen dem Bistro und dem eigentlichen Restaurant ,auch Frühstückssaal, unterscheiden. Bistro: Bis auf 4 - 5 Tischen in der Mitte sitzt man an kleinen Tischen an der Längswand aufgereiht. Ist der Laden ausgebucht, dann ist es so voll und laut, dass die Kommunikation einige Kraft erfordert. 3 Gang Menu (47€) oder a la carte für ein paar Euro mehr. Die Auswahl ist überschaubar, 3 Vorspeisen(16€}, 3 Hauptgerichte (27€), 3 Nachspeisen (12€) Die Qualität ist sehr bescheiden. 3 Beispiele: Vorspeise, Scallops mit Gemüse?? Man findet einen Esslöffel voll an geschmacklich ziemlich undefinierbarem Gemüse und nicht Scallops, sondern vielleicht eine halbe Kammmuschel, vom Koch in ca 10 erbsengroße winzige Teilchen zerschnitten. Hauptgericht, Entenbrust. Eigentlich weiß jeder Amateurkoch, dass man nach dem scharfen Anbraten den Brate

Beautiful hotel, conveniently located in walking distance of Hoog Catharijnen. Very attentive and welcoming staff, gorgeous bedrooms with comfortable beds. The rooms have complimentary bathrobes and slippers. Breakfast is first class and the dining area is stunning as is the rest of the building. There’s a small pool with a whirlpool and sauna. Everything is clean. There are plenty of towels and shampoo and shower gel available. We stayed for two nights/three days with 5 adults ranging from 20-56 year old.
