Stayokay Hostel Utrecht Centrum

We liked our stay here, especially because of the location of the hostel. The only thing that caused us slight discomfort was sink being outside the bathroom.

Good location, near all the key tourist attraction. Good place to stay to explore Utrecht

Better to have at least a kettle inside the room and phone facilities

The location within downtown was great for our travel purposes. The exterior window shades made a difference during the heat wave. We were in a private unit with our own bathroom. Laundry services were pretty convenient. Staff were...not rude, but not overly welcoming either. Space was very clean and after 11am the restaurant could be accessed for remote work as long as you purchase something per hour (very reasonable).

It’s an ok place to stay if you don’t have high expectations or need a lot of comfort. However, the days I spent in Utrecht were some of the hottest of the summer with temperatures up towards 40 degrees Celsius. The rooms have no AC and therefore I found my stay rather unpleasant. The staff apologised, and of course they are not to blame, but still, with the weather being the way it is and summers getting hotter and hotter, I found it strange that the hostel has not invested in some sort of ventilation, fans or AC. There is some sort of ventilation in the rooms but I had a feeling it was switched off during the night… Would not stay again, especially during a heatwave.
