Stayokay Hostel Utrecht - Bunnik, Bunnik

Exceptional

Good

Basic accommodation with good breakfast

Liked: Staff was very friendly and happy to help, where they could. (For example, after check-in there was no more toilet paper in the room in the morning, which they stocked up immediately)Breakfast was good and had multiple options, incl for some of the basic dietary wishes. The surroundings are great with the forest (Rhijnauwen) at your fingertips. (incl a pan cake restaurant at <5min walk)
Disliked: This Stay Okay has two locations (the main mansion where the breakfast is served as well, and a second one at a couple minutes' walk). The second location is a little more basic. (Which in summer probably has a different feel than in autumn or winter)It's not very close to any city center or shops, and so it's good to take this into account when booking.

Exceptional

Liked: I love this hotel. It's located in the middle of nature, so you can spend the whole day feeling calm. The staff are very kind.The breakfast is delicious and filling. I would like to stay here again when I visit the Netherlands.
Disliked: There were only two sockets in the 8-person room. But it's not a problem if you share it with the other people in the room.

Pleasant

Liked: I liked the location near the Utrecht Science Park and the helpful and obliging staff including Iris, Vinny and the young German woman whose name escapes me. I particularly enjoyed the food and ambience of the Cafe and the artistic performance in the garden on the Thursday night. It was really good to be able to hire a bicycle at the hostel.
Disliked: I didn't enjoy rooming with a couple of people, who clearly didn't get the memo or chose to ignore it around consideration of others between 2200H and 0700H, as they made lots of noise resulting in my not getting much sleep. Additionally the room doors are loud when closing if left to slam shut. I was hoping to get some washing done, but unfortunately for a hostel there aren't any washing machines or a laundry room.
