Mother Goose Hotel

Top choice in Utrecht


Sensitively restored from what was originally a fortified 13th-century mansion, this 23-room boutique hotel incorporates many salvaged historic details and time-stressed artefacts into rooms full of contemporary comforts. The chatty local staff add a very personal touch, and the reception is wonderfully homey – you might even find a handwritten welcome postcard on your bed.

Coffee machine and kettle in all rooms. Lift reaches three of the four floors but reaching some rooms require steps. Front-facing rooms have great views across lively Ganzenmarkt but light/early sleepers might prefer the quieter back options.
