We stayed her with our family of four (two adults, one 8 and one 11 year old). We had the family room (room F, 2nd floor). Room F has single large living space with a living room / kitchen and bar and connected bedroom, as well as a stairs to converted loft with two single beds. It also has a small bathroom/toilet.||||The pro's:|| - Location is fantastic. It is in central Utrecht, within close range of tons of good restaurants, shops, museums and sight seeing opportunities|| - It's also about a 15min walk to Utrecht central station (which can then get you on fast trains to Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam (all within 30-40min)|| - Building is authentically Dutch, Rooms are clean, spacious, staff are friendly|| - Breakfast in the morning is tailored to your wishes, delivered to your room at the time you want; and while they don't do everything (not sure you can get your eggs a 100 different ways, but we didn't push the limit there), the croissants and bread are fresh and lovely||||The small downsides:|| - The bathroom in room F is quite poky. If you are tall, you might struggle a bit. But if you don't spend a lot of time in the bathroom in the morning, this shouldn't bother you|| - The room we stayed in could probably do with a tiny bit of TLC. It does show some wear and tear. But I guess as Covid19 comes to an end, the owners will have more budget again to invest in it. It doesn't impact your stay at all btw||- Some staff are a bit less more 'on the ball' than others and it shows in the attention to breakfast, the cleanliness of the room, etc. Nothing that ruins your day, but you clearly know who is on duty||- Parking is not an issue, and there are good parking garages within 8-10min walk, but it will but you back €25/night. Best is to not come by car at all||||Overall it is a fantastic place to stay if you are in Utrecht. It's a residential house in central Utrecht turned into a B&B. Who could ask for more? Only thing to warn for is that if you are less mobile and find steep stairs tricky, this is probably not the place for you. There is no lift and the stairs are...
Read moreWe had been on a garden tour. After the tour, we moved from a busy part of Utrecht to the Hotel Museumkwartier, which is in a lovel, quiet and walkable part of town. ||The hotel is in an old house. We spoke to a young woman (who is the owner's daughter) who told us about the building. Originally built in the 1200's and then substantially renovated in the 1600's, it had been their family home up to seven years ago when it was converted to the hotel. Her father owns an antique store and is furnished with antiques. The wall.paper was wonderful. ||Our suite was at the back and overlooked trees and church spires. Our friend's room was at the front and overlooked the canal. Just so beautiful. ||We ordered their wonderful breakfast, which was brought to our suite up the spiral staircase every morning. Upon our arrival at the hotel and when we checked out, the hotel staff cheerfully carried our luggage up and down the staircase, too. This was excellent as two of us had thrown our backs out just prior to the trip.||Although the hotel is furnished with antiques the bathrooms are delightfully warm and modern. ||Everything was so clean. It was nice to have a nicely appointed kitchen area. with dishes, cutlery, and cooking utensils. It had a half cooktop and a fridge. The fridge (which had a freezer) was full of all sorts of bottles for purchase which reduced the area to store purchased food. We resolved that by putting all the bottles in the crisper. ||The hotel is just one lovely block over from a shopping street that has an excellent grocery store, restaurants, and shopping. ||It was an easy walk over to the museums and the Dom. There are such nice paths along the canals.||There were bicycles but only a few at a time. There were pedestrian and some cars and trucks too but it felt like we all were peacefully living together not like the bicycles were tryingto get us. ||It was very peaceful even though we arrived on the King's birthday! I liked the church bells ringing the hour and the half hour. I find it very peaceful. ||I would stay here again in...
Read moreWe were travelling through Europe on a university tour with our son. We chose the Hotel Musemkwartier due to its location on a quiet, canal-lined street with a short walk to restaurants & shops.
The room was clean and roomy. We had a European King (two single beds pushed together) and a sofa bed in the living area for our son. The bedroom was spacious with high ceilings and large windows that could be opened for ventilation (didn't have A/C, but even in July Utrecht was cooler and we didn't really need it - they did have fans to move the air around which was perfect).
Their breakfasts are absolutely wonderful. As they don't have a common area, they'll deliver the the breakfast tray to your room each morning at whatever time you request. Fresh squeezed OJ, warm croissants, breads & rolls, Yogurt with granola, hard-boiled eggs, meats & cheeses! More breakfast than the three of us could eat each day but absolutely fresh & wonderful!
We met Maria the first day and she was very warm & welcoming! She was out shopping when we first arrived, but bicycled back to the hotel in a few minutes to show us to our room. The old town is delightful and definitely feels like a 'mini-Amsterdam'.
The street is narrow and there is no parking close to the hotel. So when you stop to drop your luggage, you will likely be blocking through-traffic on the narrow lane for a minute or two while you unload. Expensive overnight parking ($22) at a church lot about 2 blocks away but I'm sure there were less expensive options, we just couldn't immediately find them.
A perfectly charming Bed & Breakfast, with a very nice, welcoming staff and a superb breakfast. As travellers, we couldn't ask for much more! Highly...
