Hotel details:
At the unique 5-star Grand Hotel Karel V, you'll be staying within a monumental ambience in one of Utrecht's most beautiful locations. The Central Station and sights and attractions such as the Dom Tower and the Oudegracht canal are only a few minutes' walk away. Furthermore, the centre of Utrecht is teeming with charming shops, lovely outdoor terraces, and attractive art and culture.
Connoisseurs will be able to indulge themselves from breakfast to dinner at Restaurant Karel 5 or at Bistro Karel 5; this hotel's two excellent restaurants.
At Restaurant Karel 5, the chef and sommelier will whisk you away into their world of culinary fantasies. The authentic room of Bistro Karel 5 is very suitable for an informal lunch or dinner.
You can take lovely walks around the hotel and through the gardens measuring no less than 10,000 m2. And afterwards, simply descend on the bistro's terrace where you can enjoy either a drink or lunch or dinner. The terrace is renowned as one of the most beautiful and sunniest terraces in Utrecht!
Walk out of the Grand Hotel Karel V through the city side and you'll find yourself standing in the very heart of Utrecht's historic centre. The lively city centre with its unique wharf terraces, the Dom tower and charming canals are certainly worth exploring on foot. The same goes for Zadelstraat and Lijnmarkt, where you'll find splendid antique shops, trendy fashion boutiques, surprising gift shops and excellent book shops. Are you seeking peace and quiet? Then walk a little further to the beautiful courtyards and squares gracing the canals and the Nieuwgracht.
Restaurant Karel 5 distinguishes itself by combining culinary tradition with contemporary taste. Under the supervision of Head Leon Mazairac and Maître-Sommelier Johan Kragtwijk, dishes are created to a high gastronomic standard. And for an informal setting, you can visit the traditional Bistro Karel 5.

M.J.H.Th. Elichalt-Roesink- Nice people lovely park
- Room to expensive for just sleeping

DD- Stayed in the bridal suite in the Romeinse Vleugel. Plus points include nice jacuzzi bath with a window in the bathroom, nice bed, view of the Dom, high ceiling and stylish decor with blend of antique & modern. The pool area is open until 11 pm, which is very nice.
- Speakers in the bathroom where the jacuzzi is and other areas of the room seem pretty crucial to set the mood in a bridal suite, but the sound only came from the TV and therefore was quite lacking. The playlists for the music could be much improved upon. Disappointed that breakfast isn't included. In the bridal suite there should be complimentary champagne or wine and water or chocolate at the very least. A balcony for this room would have been lovely considering the view of the Dom.

peter- Exceptionally convenient location, only yards from the city centre. Parking available. Free wi-fi and computer use Nice garden setting Rooms in new part large, well decorated and comfy.
- Very clinical, used to be a hospital and still the feel of a hospital on the corridors and outside facade. Couldn't eat in the hotel as brasserie fully booked. Swimming pool only a jet pool but in all fairness so much else to do no time to use it.

8.4
Namaurri- Very nice hotel in the centre of Utrecht. Well located with near perfect breakfast and dinner. Clean with nice wellness/jetpool facilities.
- No double bed even after having asked for it and in the morning only lukewarm water for shower.

Mikael Nedelius- Lost reservation somewhere, but managed to change from a double-room to single room. Claimed to not be able to change price, so they threw in complimentary taxi and breakfast.
