Fantastic little apartment right on the canal. We can’t wait to come back!
Pros:

Truly unique and amazing location. Perfect way to enjoy the culture and history of this charming city. It’s a compact studio but had everything we needed. So easy to get to all the places we wanted to see.

Cons:

Our only complaint is that all the soaps had a very strong perfume scent. So if you are sensitive to scents, definitely bring your own hand soap!

Beautifully appointed studio with real attention to detail. Thought has gone into what guests need and want, down to Rituals toiletries, fruit and wine and beer! Very comfortable and cosy.

Incredible, unique historical stay with hosts like family
Pros:

How incredible to sleep in a 13th-century wharf cellar! And the hosts are remarkably supportive, providing a thorough, self-prepared guide to bike rentals, kayak rentals, historical tour opportunities, local grocery and theatre locations. Even more, they were quickly reachable and personally available to help when I was too shy to address the locals talking a bit loudly on the bench outside my window late one night. Add fresh flowers, fresh linens, candles for both inside and outside plus a kitchen stocked twice with yogurt/granola/toast and even beer and wine for good measure, and it’s clear staying here was beyond special. Thank you!

Cons:

It was perfect!

Very unique room located right next to the canal. An assortment of boats to observe on the canal. boat rentals nearby. Kitchenette fully stocked. owner was available for any concerns. Modern, clean room.

Cons:

Make sure you message the owner to get access to the hotel room key when you arrive. As I said, it's a very unique room and location.

Lovely clean and comfortable studio apartment in a beautiful city.
Pros:

We loved the position of this studio apartment, just out of the city centre and very peaceful on the waters edge. Excellent hosts who made sure we had everything we needed and the added extras were much appreciated.

Pros:

Beautiful, spacious unit with nice amenities. Breakfast items, fruits and drinks were available and were replenished throughout my stay. Convenient location, 5 minutes walk to train station and everything you need is around. Great hospitality from the hosts, they were available anytime I needed to make my stay comfortable. They went extra mile to recover a mistake from Booking.com even if they didn't have to, I appreciate that. This is definitely the place I will be staying when I visit Utrecht again.

Cons:

Nothing, amazing stay.

Excellent stay in the heart of Utrecht
Pros:

The little extras in the room such as wine, beer, yoghurt, cereal, toast etc. This was such a nice little touch and completely unexpected. The room was super modern with everything that you need for a comfortable weekend stay

Cons:

Everything was excellent! I have nothing negative to say about my stay here. I would have stayed longer if I could have.
