“Fabulous stay for our wedding anniversary in this beautiful hotel in a great central location. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and willing to go above and beyond to make your stay special. Great bar and fantastic delicious breakfast.”
“A sexy quiet corner in the heart of Utrecht. I loved the design of this hotel and the location is absolutely unbeatable. For the price point, I was very happy with my stay. I stayed in the half moon room, which was beautifully decorated in dark motifs. The toilet is on the opposite side of the sink and shower, which I found inconvenient, and in the half moon room there was only a small shower stall. The shower stall, while quite nice with an overhead rainfall, was quite small and poorly drained. It was not clearly communicated to me whether or when the cleaners would be coming, so I was surprised when I came back to rest at 2pm and found them cleaning my room! Morning service or a conversation about timing the service would have been much better. The heat went out my final night, and I was offered to receive a half refund for the night and stay or a full refund and find myself another room elsewhere. Luckily it was not very cold so I was perfectly comfortable staying, but if it were very cold it would have been a terrible and expensive inconvenience!”
“The location is perfect in a quieter corner of city center. The Nox reception team was wonderful. We had 2 nights stay in Exclusive Triple room. The room is quite spacious and well decorated. However with over €300 per night, I expected a better condition. There was no coffee machine in our room as described in facility. The faucet of the bathtub was also broken but luckily the shower head worked so we could use a soaking bathtub. The room was not clean. It was dusty on most of surfaces. The bathroom, sink and toilet had very obvious brown stain which made it quite unhygienic. The bed was wonderful though.”
“Great experience, friendly and professional staff, beautiful design. We stayed in the small double room which is compact but lovely. The venue doens't have a proper public area, but has a prime location in Utrecht's historical center and has all the comfort of a boutique hotel with competitive prices. Definitely recommended.”
