The Studenthostel B&B Utrecht City Center

I had such a wonderful stay at this B&B Hostel in Utrecht! 🌟 The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the very first moment. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and great tips about the city. The rooms are clean, cozy, and comfortable, making it feel like a true home away from home. The location is also perfect—close to the city center, with easy access to public transport, shops, and beautiful spots to explore. I especially appreciated how peaceful it felt, a great balance between being in the heart of Utrecht and still having a calm place to rest. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, with plenty of choice to start the day right. Everything was prepared with care, which really made a difference. Overall, I can’t recommend this place enough. Whether you’re traveling alone, with friends, or just looking for a relaxing stop in Utrecht, this hostel is a gem. I will definitely come back! 🙌✨

Came at 3pm and could not check in until 5. No lockers to keep stuff so I took backpack with me and explored. Came back at 8pm and they were quite rude. Apparently check in is only between 5-7pm which is such a small window of time for a hostel. I felt all interactions lacked friendliness. May be a better hostel than I experienced but as I had this experience, I just got on a train to Rotterdam and stayed in a hostel there instead, which functioned like any other hostel (I checked in easily very late, and it was welcoming to international guests).

A beautiful stay! The hostel feels like a warm home away from home. Eveline and Yassine go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcomed and cared for. Their kindness and attention truly make the difference. The atmosphere is friendly and vibrant, perfect for meeting fellow travelers, students, interns, or nomadic workers. I'm grateful for the experience. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area. Bring a peaceful and open mind.

This hostel is just great, they have everything you need. Unlimited food, instruments, books, facilites. I stayed here with my sister and her boyfriend and we got the best stay ever. Evelin and Yassine run the hostel and they are very kind persons and will help you in every need. I will come back and totally recomend it!!!

Fun place with a relaxed atmosphere. The hostel building is old and beautiful with a unique spiral staircase. A free breakfast buffet is freshly-prepared each morning and plenty of other food supplied by the hostel is available throughout the day. Well located in central Utrecht along the medieval city-moat. Would definitely recommend this place to any backpacker or student in Utrecht

I am from Samoa and was dearly in need of a good - peaceful place to recover. Evelyn the Hotel owner was gracious and very kind to ensure all guests were well taken care of. The food is breakfast and lunch - fresh hot pancakes - savouries - hot coffee and more - fry your own organic eggs. Evelyn gives the best advice about walking - step at a time makes a giant - thank you Evelyn and your wonderful student hotel ....Setope

We have stayed 3 days in Utrecht and the reception by the lady of the house was great, a friendly person and willing to give everything she has, you can have free breakfast, free water, and in general you can cook and eat for free 24 hours things like eggs, pasta, cereals, rice, bread, jams, bakery, etc. The rooms are small but it really is fair for the price, I felt at home, there are games and activities, and the atmosphere feels very cool. I don't understand the bad reviews on the site, if you expect a 5 star hotel go and pay for one

Great for the price! Pros: -Cheap -Very central -Free breakfast every morning -Nice people -Refrigerators -One bathroom w. shower for every room -Common room with games, instruments, balcony, outdoor space, sofas, tv and kitchen Cons: -Bad water pressure in the shower -Dirty kitchen (the guests responsibility) Overall great!

We went on a university trip through Holland, Belgium and Western Germany a couple of weeks back, and out of all the places we stayed, B&B Utrecht was by far the worst. The service was horrible - the guys at the front desk didn't seem to have any idea of how to run a business. They weren't prepared for us at all, and I had to calculate the price of our stay for them. Also, they offered bed-linens for rent for 1,5e/ person, after which the other employee told the one helping us that he wasn't about to do the washing for that amount, so they raised it to 2,5 e/ person. After this they stopped paying attention to us, and started idly chatting with eachother. After around 15 minutes I asked if I could pay for the stay, and found out that they had just been waiting for us to say so. The rooms were a major let down. We opted for the dormitories. The beds there were incredibly flimsy - people in the bottom bunks complained that every time someone in the top bunk moved, they would wake up to the noise. The plastic bedcovers were dirty, and the ambiance was horrible - the room was stuffed with extra beds so it was hard to move around, and the wallpapers were torn and coming off of the walls. This is not criminal in such a cheap hostel, but the window was also broken, and the weather was exceptionally cold. When we finally got our bed linens after the staff had washed them, they were wet and mine smelled like vomit. The showers were in the hallway, and only one out of three had any warm water. There were no locks on the shower or bathroom doors - we made a paper sign on the door to indicate wether the bathroom was vacant or not. The staff did supply free towels for us, which was nice. The only reason this place deserves two stars instead of one is the free food. There are quite decent if somewhat shady frozen meat products freely available - chicken cutlets, sausages and the like. We made a nice dinner of pasta, different meats, and nutella crepes fully from products the hostel supplied, and no-one complained about a sore stomach afterward - luckily we noticed the eggs that were rotten before mixing them with the batter. Breakfast was made from the same supplies by a staff member, and it had a good variety especially of sweet rolls and cakes. Overall, the place had the feel that a couple of laid-back friends who have travelled a lot thought that hey, running a hostel can't be that hard - but without any experience, there are a lot of things that are easy to miss, giving the whole enterprise a very unprofessional air. I wish the guys all the best, but they really need to get their s*** together if they want to keep the place from going under.
