Nice clean room, friendly staff. One minus point, there is no outside covered area for the smokers. I know they are a dying breed but to pretend they don’t exist is not cool.

Great town to walk around, along canals, and lots of restaurants, pubs. I’m not a big fan of getting run over by bicyclists, who think they own all the road, but I guess that’s a cultural thing.

5/5 - Excellent

Love the reliable, efficient public transport system. Will definitely be visiting again especially as my son is now studying at UU.

Utrecht is a very beautiful city. We loved walking around the historic centre of the city. We also enjoyed the Museum Speelklok.

Utrecht has an amazing bike scene! The city is beautiful with canals running throughout, lined with lovely cafes and bars. Everyone is very friendly. I would love to return!

5/5 - Excellent

Irene

Utrecht is a wonderful medieval city with unique double layered bridges over the canals. Take the climb up the Cathedral tower-all 465 steps. The view is amazing. The Cathedral is worth seeing. The musical clock museum is also worth the visit.

5/5 - Excellent

Nicer than Amsterdam, and not as crowded. University town with great history
