3-star hotels in Wijk Bij Duurstede
Three-star hotels in Wijk Bij Duurstede, a small historic town on the Nederrijn in the province of Utrecht. This shortlist compares the two listed properties, Hotel 1851 and Hotel Brasserie Florian, for couples, families and business travellers on a short break.
Staying in Wijk Bij Duurstede
Wijk Bij Duurstede is a Dutch town on the Nederrijn, in the province of Utrecht, known for its historic centre and waterside setting. The two listed hotels sit in that centre: Hotel 1851 on Zandweg 8 and Hotel Brasserie Florian on Markt 2, so guests are based among the town's streets rather than on its edge.
The pair suits different trips. Hotel Brasserie Florian, with a guest rating of 4.2 out of 5 from 492 reviews, allows pets and runs a restaurant, and its address on the Markt puts it directly on the central square, which suits couples and families wanting dinner and the town on foot. Hotel 1851, rated 4.8 out of 5 from 22 reviews, is the higher-rated pick and offers a spa, family rooms and bike rental, which suits couples or small groups who want quiet facilities and cycles for the surrounding countryside. Both are 3-star and both have free parking and free wifi.
