The former palace, now the hotel, exudes a leisurely atmosphere from the inside out. The hotel is located in the old town of Utrecht. It is very convenient to go everywhere. There are ample parking spaces. It is worth staying and experiencing.

A wonderful stay at this superb 5 Star hotel in the heart of the beautiful city of Utrecht. The wonderful Koen van der Berg and the team are the epitome of excellent customer services and high standards. This is my 4th visit and it won’t be my last. From the well appointed rooms and beautiful grounds to the excellent facilities, this has to be one of my favourite hotels. The Michelin Star Karel 5 Restaurant is simply sublime and an experience not to be missed. A culinary masterpiece awaits that scintillates the tastebuds and reveals delightful experiences in every bite. Chef Leon & his team bring theatre to the table. The passion and knowledge of the team ensures diners are captivated from the start of the performance. The star of the show is the ingredients and how they have been elevated into works of art and brought to life with classic, delicate finishes. I enjoyed every dish that was served on the meat & fish free set menu. Each one championing to be my favourite, only to push me into a quandary to decide which was the most memorable. A truly exceptional experience that embodies passion and excellence.

Beautiful hotel, conveniently located in walking distance of Hoog Catharijnen. Very attentive and welcoming staff, gorgeous bedrooms with comfortable beds. The rooms have complimentary bathrobes and slippers. Breakfast is first class and the dining area is stunning as is the rest of the building. There’s a small pool with a whirlpool and sauna. Everything is clean. There are plenty of towels and shampoo and shower gel available. We stayed for two nights/three days with 5 adults ranging from 20-56 year old.

Perfect stay in freshly renovated room 252, we really liked everything and if we come again to beautiful and relaxed Utrecht (and we probably will), we stay again in Karel V. We went to visit overcrowded Amsterdam and left after one hour back to Utrecht. It's just the better town - without the misbehaving drinkers and dopers and stag party ****** from the UK.

This is a beautiful hotel in a super location. Canal at the front, and straight into the old town at the back, everything about the Karel V is perfect. Pristine interiors, wonderfully restored from its previous lives as a hospital and monastery, it oozes elegance and luxury. The breakfast in the newly refurbished dining room is a real highlight, and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. I came here for business but will return with my family! A very special place.

We stayed at the Karol V for 4 nights and we were very impressed with the location, staff and general quality of the hotel. It was easy to find and parking is available. Our room was in the new Roman wing and was light, airy, quiet and very comfortable. We had drinks in the beautiful gardens and dinner in the Bistro, both delightful. The location is perfect for exploring the old town on foot and we didn’t need the car at all. We visited Amsterdam for the day by train which was interesting but very busy. We were glad to return to the tranquility of the Karol V and Utrecht.

Overall a nice hotel good location but yesterday we tried to have dinner in the Bistro at 6.30. It was empty but we were told it was fully booked. We went into town and had a pleasant meal by the canal. We came back at 7,45. There were four tables being served outside and it was empty inside. How bizarre. Strange that a 5 star hotel doesn’t want to sell food
