Grand Hotel Karel V, WorldHotels Luxury

Fantastic choice at breakfast with very helpful staff. Beautiful dining area in the garden

Very helpful staff and the hotel was very pleasant and clean

beautifully maintained with lovely grounds and staff. Excellent choice!

Beautiful property, wonderful staff, and an excellent stay in Utrecht.

We had a great couple of nights at the Karel V hotel. The room and bathroon were specious and the seperate WC had a basin in it - really welcome but quite rare. It was equipped to the standard I expectt from a 5* hotel and housekeeping kept it that way. All the staff were absolutely brilliant - incredibly helpful and friendly - the reception team in particular (thanks Jet!) giving us recommendations and suggestions and nothing was too much trouble. We didn't eat dinner in the hotel (book in advance to secure a table) but there are so many great restaurants within a few minutes walk that wasn't an issue. The breakfast was of the usual high standard (with crispy bacn - another rare thing!) and again nothing was too much trouble. Finally, like its service and accomodation, the location this hotel is unbeatable with ample parking (paid) and EV chargers. We fell in love with Utrecht and hope to return again next year and we will certainly stay at the Grand Hotel Karel V

Room was too hot

I’m a hotel fanatic and The Grand Hotel Karel V didn’t disappoint! The breakfast was absolutely stunning, and well curated with local farmers/ vendors. We mostly connected with the Brassier staff and they were absolutely AMAZING. We really would like to point out Norman. He was outstanding and very knowledgeable. He made our evening and stay 10x better with his presence.

Beautiful, peaceful hotel, in a lovely area, very close to the centre. Friendly staff, wonderful breakfast, very comfortable rooms.

Staff was excellent - super helpful, cheerful and efficient. we enjoyed the outdoor dining.

Beautiful courtyard, delicious breakfast, efficient and friendly staff

Very good hotel in a very central location with good restaurants on site. Only point of feedback - we arrived to attend our daughter's graduation in the morning and were not given access to our room and had to freshen up and change in the toilets... some flexibility would have been appeeciated

Among the most wonderful hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Every detail is stunning. And the staff is five-star.

The hotel is beautiful with well-kept grounds. A luxurious and historic place to stay in Utrecht.

Great location, easy parking, and friendly staff!

Beautiful and peaceful spot in Brugge. A lovely hotel with helpful staff and a great bar.

Absolutely superb and wonderful experience. This hotel is exquisite and its staff is perfection. We can’t wait to return!

We stayed for 4 nights in this excellent hotel and took the room upgrade offered by the desk at check-in at minimal additional cost. This gave us a large room overlooking the courtyard with an excellent bathroom with separate bath and walk in shower. There was a separate loo off the entrance corridor. It was almost like a suite and benefitted from having two doors between the bedroom and the main hallway. It was very well furnished had generous stowage and space for luggage, that meant it was neat and uncluttered with everything squared away. The beds were very comfortable. Above all it was quiet. We never heard a thing and slept very well. The hotel is beautifully decorated in an understated style but showcases its historic features. Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France all met here in 1546 (when it was a monastery not an hotel). It is situated in secluded, well-maintained gardens. There are two restaurants, a bar and a very well appointed spa. The staff were charming and helpful and all spoke good English - which is pretty much normal in the Netherlands anyway. We ate in the Brasserie and the food was first class. As it is well-placed in the town centre, other dining options were available only minutes away. All were of a good standard.

Lovely hotel. Very good food in the bistro
