3-star hotels in and around Utrecht
A hand-picked shortlist of 3-star stays in and around Utrecht, from B&Bs to country guesthouses, for travellers who want a simple, well-rated base near the city.
Staying in Utrecht
Utrecht is a compact, canal-ringed city in the Netherlands, known for its wharves, market squares and easy-going pace. The hotels below sit in the villages and towns around it — Groenekan, Weesp, Bussum, Baambrugge, Gorinchem, De Bilt, Tiel, Houten, Werkhoven, Vianen, Austerlitz, Schoonrewoerd, Maartensdijk and Wilnis — each within reach of the city by road or rail. Guests rate them from 3.9 to 4.7 out of 5.
These are small-scale properties: guest rooms, apartments and farmhouse annexes, many with gardens, kitchens or bike rental, so they suit couples on a short break, families who want space, and visitors with a car who prefer quiet surroundings to a city-centre address. Guests looking for a standard hotel room will find Bastion Hotel Bussum Hilversum and Het Hart van Weesp the closest to that model.
