At Holiday Inn Express Utrecht - Papendorp by IHG, travellers praise clean, comfortable rooms and especially friendly, helpful staff, while noting the quiet business-park setting with easy bus links to Utrecht Centraal about 10–15 minutes away.

Guests frequently mention breakfast being included and generally decent, though several found it limited and missing hot items. Rooms are modern and functional but some report temperature control and air-conditioning issues, plus occasional noise, and a lack of fridge, closet, or safe. Parking is on-site and secure but paid, with bike storage/rental available, while EV charge points are absent. Expect a clean, quiet base with straightforward access to the city.

Op een redelijk rustig gelegen terrein op fietsafstand van het centrum. Karige aankleding en faciliteiten, maar wel netjes en verzorgd. De €30 parkeerkosten waren wel erg gortig. Zeker omdat het parkeren in de omgeving ruimschoots mogelijk en gratis is, was dat toch even schrikken bij de betaling

Großes, klassisches Holiday Inn Zimmer. Sehr sauber, großes Bad. Bequemes Bett, keinerlei störenden Nebengeräusche wahrgenommen. Optimal für eine Übernachtung,Frühstück einfach, aber absolut ausreichend, alles vorhanden. 5min zu Fuß zur Bushaltestelle, sehr schnelle Verbindung in die Stadt ( auch abends bis in die Nacht Verbindung zurück!) Leider keine Lademöglichkeit für Elektroautos, eher ungewöhnlich für Holland. Würden auf jeden Fall wieder dort übernachten!

During my recent stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Utrecht, I found the experience to be quite pleasant overall. The hotel boasts a modern design with clean and spacious rooms, which contributed to a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing helpful recommendations for local dining options and ensuring that my needs were met throughout my visit. Pros: - Clean and Comfortable Rooms: The accommodations were well-maintained, featuring comfortable beds and modern amenities, including a good shower and free internet access. - Friendly Staff: The reception team was welcoming and eager to assist, enhancing the overall experience. - Convenient Amenities: The hotel offers bike rentals, which is a great way to explore the area. However, one notable drawback was the lack of outdoor seating areas for guests. While the interior of the hotel was inviting, it would have been nice to have designated spaces outside where guests could relax or smoke. This absence made it difficult for those who enjoy spending time outdoors or need a place to unwind outside of their rooms. In summary, while the Holiday Inn Express Utrecht provided a solid stay with its modern facilities and attentive service, incorporating outdoor seating areas would significantly enhance the guest experience.

The room however, was average at best. For instance, I didn’t have a safe or closet, or fridge in the room. The room was also very small. Breakfast options were extremely limited as well.

Yet another hotel that doesn't allow guests to disable noisy ventilation at night! To make things worse there was a light behind the ventilator within the ceiling flashing all night long (in addition to the blinking smoke detector of course). Staff was really friendly, but enforced ventilation and locked window are massive drawbacks!

This charming 3 star hotel was a delight. It is off the beaten track, but the charm is in the seclusion and the peaceful surroundings. However, pedestrians are well catered for by buses which are a short walk from the hotel. Utrecht Center and the Railway station can be reached in around 10 to 12 minutes. The room was small - but adequate for a single person. Very quiet and very clean - as were the corridors. The bed was sumptuous, and the towels and linen were spotless. Shower and bathroom were immaculate. Larger individuals will have no trouble moving around in the shower as it was very spacious. The shower floor can be very - very slippery when wet - alleviated by standing on a towel. The room did feature a kettle, but was without a fridge. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Windows were fixed - with a narrow side panel which can be opened to let in fresh air. However, the room temperature can be regulated. I had a wonderful two night stay here.

However, pedestrians are well catered for by buses which are a short walk from the hotel. Utrecht Center and the Railway station can be reached in around 10 to 12 minutes. My room was small - but adequate for a single person. Very quiet and very clean - as were the corridors. The bed was sumptuous, and the towels and linen were spotless. Shower and bathroom were immaculate. Larger individuals will have no trouble moving around in the shower as it was very spacious. I would strongly recommend however, putting a towel on the shower floor, as it is very - very slippery when wet. The room did feature a kettle, but was without a fridge. However, the pleasant and attentive staff seemed happy for me to use theirs. Windows were fixed - with a narrow side panel which can be opened to let in fresh air. However, the room temperature can be regulated. I had a wonderful two night stay here, thank you.

Nice hotel around the Papendrop area of Uterecht. Has good public (bus) transport to Uterecht centrum. Breakfast could do with some additional choices. They do have a restaurant but if you get in late they can rustle up a decent hot pizza in the bar area.

Kamer was geweldig en proper. Ontbijt was slecht; broodjes die niet gaar waren; geen broodmes om ze open te snijden, want de andere messen zijn bot. Geen normaal brood. Geen gebakken ei of omelet. Nee het was allemaal heel mager en stook erg af tegenover de kamer, want die was geweldig.

This hotel is a very conveniently located close to two major highways, when you have a car and looking for business meetings nearby. The staff was very friendly. The room however, was average at best. For instance, I didn’t have a safe or closet, or fridge in the room. The room was also very small. Breakfast options were extremely limited as well.

Personale molto gentile, come sempre in questo hotel. Non è la prima volta che veniamo. Fantastico il fatto che la colazione sia sempre inclusa, è comunque una buona colazione. Dalla stazione sono solo 10 minuti di bus.

While the room itself was fine, every night when we tried to have a meal at the restaurant, we were told that only 3 of the 4 of us could have something from the menu, while the 4th person could only have a pizza. I could understand if the restaurant was full but as we were the only people in there it was disappointing as we wanted to eat as a group, so we ended up going out to eat 6 of the 8 nights we stayed there. When your paying nearly £1000 to stay somewhere you expect to be able to use the restaurant.

Smelt of sewage everywhere even in the room and in the restaurant. Breakfast was not great, no bananas on any of the days. The room was cold even with the heating setting turned up. Horrible experience
