Das Hotel ist extem überteuert. Man zahlt für die zentrale Lage.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt super zentral. Das Zimmer war sauber. Das Personal war sehr nett.

Cons:

Das Bett war viel zu klein, was uns bei der Buchung vermutlich nicht aufgefallen war, deshalb kann das auch unserer Unaufmerksamkeit geschuldet sein.
Hauptproblem war aber der extreme Lärm bis 04:00 Uhr in der Nacht. Wir konnten nicht schlafen, weil unten im Gebäude eine Schenke ist und gegenüber ein Imbiss. Abgesehen von Leuten die herumbrüllten, warf das Personal des Cafés spät nachts noch die Flaschen in den Abfall.

Uns wurde vom Hotel ein Parkplatz nicht weit entfernt angegeben, 80€ für nicht einmal 2 Tage, also von Freitag 18:00 Uhr bis Sonntag 12:00 Uhr. Mir ist bewusst, dass sie den Preis nicht festlegen aber das fühlt sich dennoch wie Abzocke an.

This is a great little hotel in a really good location in Utrecht. Would highly recommend.
Pros:

We’ve stayed here before and love the location in the center of Utrecht. A really quick walk to Centraal Train Station with a lot of good food options nearby. We like Utrecht because it’s quaint and not as crowded as Amsterdam. We used it as a base to travel everywhere by train. Finally, one of the best things about our stay was meeting Lynn at the front desk. She was a wonderful host and was so helpful for questions we had about the area. Thanks Lynn!

Cons:

There is very little to dislike about this property. Anyone traveling to the Netherlands, who elects to and stay in a historic property will encounter stairs, no matter what. However, the hotel has a lift and stairs were moderate.

A beautiful and comfortable hotel that made my short trip to Utrecht even more enjoyable.
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location. It was easy to walk there from the train station.
I really liked the design of the room. It felt cozy, and very thoughtfully put together. Everything was clean, fresh, and well maintained. The bed was comfortable, the room had everything I needed, and I especially appreciated the nice selection of teas and the high-quality toiletries. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

A wonderful stay at Mother Goose!
Pros:

We had a great experience at Mother Goose. We opted for a larger double room and there was plenty of space. The bed was quite comfortable and we found the property to be quiet and restful. The location cannot be beat. Our favorite part was the staff - they were all very helpful and charming. The "green" status is a bonus we cared for. We would stay again!

Cons:

This is a minor complaint. Like almost all European hotels, storage in-room is lacking, at least from an American perspective. There was a skinny wardrobe and a very small desk, and that was it. The "nightstands" are literally stools. If two people are staying for a week and want to hang up clothes and have a place to put things like wallets, keys, cameras, maps, charging cables, and laptops, there is just not enough room - especially because the desk has a coffee maker, tea station, lamp, etc. Ironically in this room there was plenty of unused space for a larger or another wardrobe and a desk that an adult human would appreciate.
