Holiday Inn Express Utrecht - Papendorp By Ihg

Breakfast offered good variety, but the shower had poor water pressure. Renting a bike nearby is convenient for exploring.

The hotel offers nicely decorated and functional rooms with 2 smile bed and tea, for example, I am very pleased about that. It is in peaceful location to Jaarbeurs Event Venue, set steps away from the venue.

A nice size room with comfortable beds as well as a big shower, and smoke detectors too for guests' safety. Plenty of goodies for breakfast.

Utrecht vibes 🍃

Super comfy bed, lekker brekkie with loads of baked goods, and a clean, spacious room. The staff were friendly and really helpful, sharp-sharp check-in!

We walked everywhere, the location was peaceful and perfect, in downtown.

VERY friendly staff. I was there last year and was surprised again by the friendliness and competence of the staff! Thank you very much for a really great stay at the Holiday Inn Express. I will definitely come back

The hotel impressed with a superb breakfast spread. Fresh rolls, a variety of cold meats, and delicious cheeses left me completely satisfied. My room offered a spacious layout, with a comfy bed that seemed like sleeping on a cloud. The modern bathroom also caught my eye with its cleanliness and generous size. On the downside, I struggled a bit with the air conditioning. It didn't seem to work effectively, made for an uncomfortable night. The limited dinner choices-mainly pizza-might not suit everyone's palate. I had to venture out for a proper meal. Despite these minor inconveniences, the great staff was good.

Comfortable bed, two different pillows, spacious shower and only a small step, parking at the building and mostly covered, about 6,50 €/night, no parking outside along streets possible,

Clean hotel, quiet location. Centre easily accessible by bus. Nice staff and a very good price/performance ratio. Again and again gladly

The rooms are large and comfortable, with good lighting that adds a nice touch to the ambiance. The shower is strong, a bonus after a long day.

Finding the entrance was an adventure in itself, with confusing doors and staircases leading in all directions. I detected an unpleasant smell on one side of the bed, distracting, and the bed itself was not as comfortable as I hoped. It's wise to bring your own power adapters as the hotel staff doesn't supply the right ones at the reception. There's a lack of dining options, and you might find yourself grabbing snacks from the bar or making the trek to nearby areas for meals. Parking feels a bit insecure since it's open and not well-monitored, and be prepared for some distant highway noise even with the double glazing.

The room was clean, comfortable; spacious bathroom, clean. Staff was well trained and they offered a complimentary drink when a certain inconvenient showed up

Hotel location is very remote, the bus station is not very close (you need to wait long minutes in the wind and rain, until the bus shows up). If you don't have your own car or use a taxi, this location is not recommended. The most annoying thing is that this hotel requires a guarantee deposit when you do the check in. In fact this is an abuse since no other hotel in any of the countries I travelled so far, asked for such a thing. This is a 3 star hotel and it doesn't even have a bar in the room. What are they asking the deposit for? They couldn't answer me and I had to argue 5 minutes with the reception clerk just to finally reach the conclusion that I do not want to pay any deposit, since this is not a justified request. Breakfast was very scarce, no diversity, no warm food (cheese and salami in plastic wrap, cereals, croissants, jus and coffee, that was all you can choose from). The room was kind of noisy; because of the materials the hotel is built from and the strong wind outside, there were all king of screeching, squealing, cracking noises from the ceiling or walls and that wasn't facilitated a good sleep.

The hotel is located about 15 minutes from Central Station by bus. Bus connections are good. The staff was very friendly in the hotel. Sufficient parking spaces available. Room was super clean.

Compared to other hotels, the choice for breakfast could be a little larger. Unfortunately, due to the arrangement of the breakfast room, there was a longer queue at the buffet. But these are just little things.

I loved the electrical sockets in my room, super handy! 😍 The breakfast was basic, and the shower water pressure could use a boost. a decent stay for a night away.

Everything was new, clean and did work. Quite room on the backside.

Getting into the hotel at late hours didn't work with the keycard. Brakfast selection sparse.

I enjoyed the breakfast very much with the fresh fruit, juices etc. . The interior is very modern and tasteful.

Our French bed was very soft and saggy in the middle. For a wedding night, maybe it's not a good time for my back.
