木莓伦敦弗莱彻餐厅酒店

My wife and I visited Amsterdam over the Easter weekend, but we weren't convinced by any Amsterdam hotel, so we decided to book a hotel in Utrecht and take the train from there (cheap, fast and every few minutes). Entirely by accident, I've booked this hotel which isn't even in Utrecht, but at about 8 miles (15km) away. It's a gem! Clean, quiet with a million amenities and options, super safe parking (even for a motorcycle) and easy access to the motorway. I'm sure we'll go again sometimes.

I was very impressed with the hotel, considering the low cost of rooms. Location wise it was not perfect with nothing much within walking distance, but by car it was equally between two destinations I was visiting. The breakfast buffet was a little lacking in variety considering the relatively high price, and hence I took this on only one of my two nights. I think they made a charge for extra coffee pods (if required), which does not seem to be a good point. Having arrived late in the evening, I removed the coffee from sight, so as I made sure I did not run out. This would be a consideration if two people were sharing the room Two single beds, but no serious option to put a space between them. Also, the mattress had a tendency to slide away from the base. I would stay again, but under similar conditions - as a base to explore and not a destination in itself.

Very comfortable overnight stay. Lots of facilities and clearly a well-established tradition of pleasing guests. Excellent value. I was impressed enough to ask for a book of the Fletcher Hotels. I hope success will not price this lovely hotel out of reason anytime soon.
