Cheap hostel with lots of free food, in Utrecht

En suite showers for each room. Slight issue of overbooking and the 10 of us we in a small room with 5 bunkbeds and not much floor space, but I doubt that happens often, it was only cos we were a big group booking.

Unique Quality: They encouraged you to eat the free food not just for breakfast but whenever you want. No toaster (though kitchen was being renevated) but lots of bread, jams/spreads, eggs, cheese/ham, pizza and pasta with various sauces, plus oter random goodies in the fridge. They suggest you make sandwices for the day and provide clingfilm and sandwich bags & ties.

Also, each room has a chandelier in it! Quite strange for a hostel eh?

Free Food

This is a big hostel right in the city centre. It's run by students from different countries, that study in Utrecht and live in the hostel. The people are friendly and very helpful.

Unique Quality: All the food is for free, there is pasta and hamburgers, you'll just have to cook it yourself. You can rent bikes from the hostel to cycle around. TV and CD corner with a lot of choices. A lot of instruments to play on.

B&B Utrecht City Center

The Hostel is 100% original. A nice building in a really good location. Everything you need is close by and the staff are brilliant because they are more or less travelers themselves. I choose B&B Utrecht for the environment and easy-going attitude of the place. Decent rooms and a fantastic common area with lots of musical instruments, movies and computers. The free food is also nice and keeps daily costs down. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Doors have locks on them.

Unique Quality: ADDRESS

Good hostel - if a bit loud.

Behind this unprepossessing door is a really rather goodhostel, and I spent a couple of enjoyable nights there. It seems to me to be typical of a new breed of hostels now that certainly weren't available when I was younger. It is more like living in an overgrown student flat than an organised hostel. Rooms are of the dormitory variety, and are warm and clean. Each room has it's own bathroom / toilet, and the water seemed to be hot all day - definitely a plus in November in Holland!

At the price, I really don't know how they actually make money as they include so much for free. There is a free breakfast buffet (all day) which is better than many hotels, free internet 24 hours a day and a good TV room with a large selection of videos. They even provide free beer now and again, would you believe?

Even though I was probably nearly twice the age of most of the guests, I was made to feel most welcome. the staff are particularly friendly.

I would definitely recommend this place if you are OK with hostel accomodation.

Unique Quality: The unique quality of this hostel is undoubtedly the "music corner" in the common room. It has a huge selection of musical instruments (some in more playable condition than others) including a drum kit, guitars, keyboards, amps, assorted percussion and a huge collection of violins. I'm not sure if the violins are actually playable, but they make a great wall decoration.

I'f you've read my homepage, you'll know I'm a musician of sorts, although I didn't get round to playing here. The "music corner" can be both blessing and curse. Obviously, I' love being around instruments, but some teenager with pretensions of being the next Kurt Cobain playing two chords badly (and loudly) when I'm trying to watch TV doesn't really do it for me.

On the upside, I'm told that some local musos come in on occasional evenings and have some very good jams.

A place to sleep in Utrecht

It is a hostel, in the centre of the city, just a minute walk a way from the old historical centre. Free breakfst and free internet

Unique Quality: As I just said, free internet and free breakfst and in the centre of the city, located near shops, cafees and all the other things you would like to see in town.

Utrecht budget accommodation

by Strannik

Greetings VT'ers!

I'm going to study in Utrecht for a year, but my flight arrives 6 days before my room is available, so I am looking for the best choice to stay at those few days considering a budget that didn't include such expense at first. So far, I have done some research and found out 2 cheap options: Hostel B&B Utrecht City Center and Strowis Budget Hostel. Could anyone give me any advice, opinion or tip about these options (or any other if available) so I can take a better informed decision? I will be greatly thankful for your asnwer.
Best regards,
Mauro
