We really enjoyed our stay at Karel V. The hotel is beautiful and the location is simply excellent! A bit disappointing is the service in the brasserie and the breakfast area, the service is simply VERY slow! For the rest, our compliments!

This was a great place to relax for a few days before heading home. Lovely quaint hotel with everything that you need. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. Easy access to walk to shopping and restaurants.
Found that most shops didn’t open till about 11:00 am and closed at 6:00 pm. So plan your shopping around those hours.
Would stay there again!

Beautiful suite with all what we need.
But unfortunately, I didn't sleep. Mattress too soft, too warm under the cover and too cold outside. Heard the neighbors at 5 am talking normally just behind the wall...
Breakfast amazing.

Nice hotel , very traditional. However rooms quite dated and not as clean as I would expect for the price. Dusty towel rails as an example and rooms not made up to a decent standard, curtains left half open for example.

The staff and Hotel Karel IV are amazing. The were so kind and helpful. The rooms are spacious and well equipped, the pool and sauna are fantastic, the gym is great with water and towels provided, and the breakfast is amazing!!! This truly is the only real 5 star hotel in Holland with 5 star service. The location is very central, easily walk to the shops at the mall, in the city or to the train station. The best place to stay.

Beautiful hotel with a good historical background, it’s not modern. But that’s not why you book this one. Definitely coming back. Personal very sweet, Sven and Sebastian.

5 star hotel close by Utrecht Central Station. Walking distance to the city centre. Although the hotel is listed as a 5 star hotel, we didnt find this very accurate. Rooms outdated, not very clean, facilities (like the pool and sauna) very small and also totally outdated. Some positive points: decent breakfast with large selection (and homemade cakes) and friendly staff. Would not recommend this hotel, certainly not at the price that weve paid.
