If you dislike party hostels, you will like this place. It runs like a well-oiled machine, and the staff are quite professional. It was just what I needed when I arrived in Utrecht from Amsterdam, trying to get away from the hectic pace of the latter. I was also ill when I arrived, and slept half the following day, but... more

Also, there was a nice courtyard garden outside and a functional kitchen. However, there were some things that left something to be desired. The windows opened to fairly... more
