Recently name dropped Mother Goose in a review then realized I haven't even given them the proper 5 stars they deserve. So allow me to do exactly that while taking a trip down memory lane:
The year was 1906...
Just kidding, it was three-four years ago and my wife (then fiancee) and I were traveling through the Netherlands to Germany (Cologne), then to Belgium (Bruges), and back to Amsterdam. Our first stop after Haarlem was Utrecht, a town I had long wanted to visit since seeing photos, and we decided to 'splurge' on a nicer hotel. Mother Goose. A 4 star hotel. But it really is so much more than that. The rooms are carefully designed, each different than the other, super boutique vibes, and in a central location.
We stayed two nights in the upstairs 'black room.' Not the hugest room ever but still spacious, open layout, high ceilings, wooden beams painted black, comfy bed with dark sheets, and a modern sink/bathroom area. Plus good views of the city. The darkness of the room added a cooler, more cozy element that we really appreciated. Everything was done tastefully and in a stylish way.
This was our favorite hotel stay ever, and has remained that even to this day.
Can't wait to go back, stay in Mother Goose again, and explore the city some more (frites in hand, of course).
