Hotels near Houten Castellum, Houten

Not only elevator construction but also next door parking house construction is disturbing your experience. If you turn left from elevator, you might think you walked thru portal to soviet union. Perhaphs some kind of temporary wall or curtain would be good there. Gym is really only a fitness room with few cardio equipment. Those were new and worked well, if you need such. Fitness room was well hidden, no signs until you reach the room (hint: 16th). Staff was friendly and easy to contact. Restaurant was good and always had few empty seats. But also breakfast area was hidden strange way into last end of restaurant. Cannot find any views at any direction, you can choose highway, industrial area, swamp or warehouse. Because of the construction works, I suggest delay visit until they finish that. But if only location matters, this is just fine.

I was planning New Year's trip with friends and while browsing for hotels, Postillion seemed like ”the best bang for your buck”. Originally we booked a room for 3 nights, but because a friend bought our train tickets for a day earlier by mistake, we had to come one day before planned. Fortunately, we arranged everything with the receptionist over a simple phone call and got another room for that extra night (because ”ours” was occupied that night). If you travel by train like us, there is a short 15 minute walk from Bunnik train station to the hotel. The hotel is very clean and tidied up. Rooms have electric kettle and some tea and instant coffee packets, which is very helpful. A nice touch to the room is a bean bag. There is no mini bar, probably because drinking alcohol isn't allowed in the hotel. Bathrooms are a bit small, but if you're staying for a few nights it's okay. It was a little cold in the room, but we read that is a common thing in the Netherlands this winter. It would be nice if 4-bed rooms would have an extra desk and a chair. Housekeeping ladies were nice, polite and gave us extra instant coffee. On the New Year's Eve day, there was a gift from the hotel for all guests - traditional Dutch donuts and prosecco. The hotel is dog friendly. All of the receptionists were so very polite and friendly during our staying - that and cleanliness is something I will remember this hotel by.

Mooie, grote en luxe lodges. Leuk ingericht, apart woon- en slaapgedeelte, fijne regendouche en apart toilet. Het bed sliep ook heerlijk (boxspring). Enige minpuntje was de gastvrijheid, het is ook maar een kleinschalig hotel (10 kamers). De 'receptie' bevindt zich in het restaurant, je krijgt een pasje overhandigd en that's it. Geen info over diner, uitchecktijden, gebruiksaanwijzing apparatuur enz. De chromecast op de tv kreeg ik niet aan de praat, dus heb ik maar netflix op de laptop gekeken. Zonde...

I booked this hotel through Hotels.com using my tesco reward points. So I only had to pay taxes. I stayed from Wed-Mon in the middle of July. I was sent the long way around to this hotel by google maps but when I said to the receptionist that I wouldn’t be able to walk that way at night she corrected me and it was only a short climb up the steps to the train station. I arrived at 11am and was just expecting to use the toilet and leave my luggage. But Estella said my room was ready and so I went straight up to the 9 floor. My room was right over the train lines but with the windows shut you did not hear them. A huge bed, lovely shower and a fridge. The bed was very comfortable. I needed to get to De Meern to see friends and Estella pointed me in the right direction for a lovely walk which took 60 minutes in the lovely countryside. Breakfast was great and and even though the hotel was full there were no queues for breakfast. Throughout my stay all staff were kind and polite. My only negatives and they are so small was when I asked for more regular coffee reception didn’t have again and the cup holder on the ice machine was nearly always empty. Overall I have had a excellent stay and I will be back.

Only steps away from the Utrecht Central Station, this Hampton Inn is extremely convenient if traveling by train. Amsterdam and AMS are about a 30 minute train ride. The hotel is located inside a shopping mall which is very safe and secure. The old canal area, with its many shops, bars, and restaurants are also just a very short walk away. Rooms are typical for this hotel brand, but maybe a bit smaller if you are accustomed to American sized rooms. The free breakfast can be crowded at peek hours. However, the quality of the breakfast is outstanding for a select service hotel.

The air conditioning in my room hadn't been working for my entire stay (almost two weeks). I reported the problem to the staff, but nobody was able to solve it. I reported it using the form they have on their website and nobody replied to me. I could not sleep two nights because of the heat so I asked to change my room: they told me it was not possible because the hotel was fully booked but on their website there was always a room available... Bad experience with the organization of the laundry service. Backdoor ringbell does not work properly, at any time I wanted to enter the hotel I had wait a couple of minutes to have the door opened. Not good cleaning (dust in the corners of the room). The gym room is too small and not well cleaned and the equipment consist just in a cyclette, a tradmill and an elliptical machine, so no weights or space to workout. I have to wait weeks to have my company's data added to the invoice even I asked for it when I booked my room online. Appartenly the receptionist could not do nothing about it... The only two good things that I noticed is the quiet at night and day, and the nearby bus stop that is directly connected to the city center.

I travelled with a coach party for a weekend stay Fri-Mon. The journey took longer than expected so the coach driver rang the hotel to say we wouldn’t make our slot for dinner at 7pm but we would be there by 7.30. When we got there our dinner was not ready. They brought out some cold starters that were very nice but we had a long wait for the mains. When they did arrive there was very little for a coach party of 45 people. I am a vegetarian and there was nothing for me apart from plain vegetables, chips, dry spaghetti and rice. I complained and was told there would be veggie options the following night. I have no idea if there were any because there was nothing to tell you what each dish was and nobody to ask!! Every night the food ran out quickly and there was no-one around to refill things. The staff were conspicuous by their absence. Based on the food we were offered there is no way this is a 4 star hotel.

Perfect stay with our two grandchildren aged 8 and 14! Beautiful, spacious room (2 parts, separated by three quarters of a wall), excellent breakfast and very friendly staff 👍 Beautiful location on the water / canal. Small downside: the hotel could not be reached directly by telephone (in advance), only through an English-speaking intermediary somewhere abroad (who had no knowledge of Moxy Utrecht) and Trip.com was also unable to answer our questions (no Dutch-speaking employee available). But for the rest: TOP, highly recommended

I travel regularly to the Netherlands and I always insist on staying and the Hotel Vianen. Very spacious and comfortable rooms, clean, well maintained and mostly quiet. WiFi is fast and reliable and bathroom facilities are excellent. There is a pool and Spa, however I have never used these so cannot comment on them. Plenty of parking outside and very close to a major road, so everything is easily accessible. Highly recommended.

Day-ahead traveled in a club event in Beesd. Therefore, a night sleeping here, a large room, as well as bed, the kisses are soft, and that must be a taste for me, no problem and a great sleep. The bathroom was also fine on towels after this was moderate, since there was only 1 large towel for 2 people. But 2 very small was less. Breakfast was also fine in this form so very thickly satisfied
