In de Pastorie Utrecht - Old rectory

Aesthetically pleasing house in a nice, calm area

Pros: The old Rectory is aesthetically pleasing with a lot of attention to detail. It gives you a quiet base in a busy city center. Very nice area with lots of bars, bakeries and shops. Perfect for a weekend away with partner or friends

Cons: Basic amenities. Kitchen could use more utensils (e.g.: no wine opener, no scissors, only 1 pan, no colander,...). The rectory gets very cold in winter, pack some extra warm clothes and indoor shoes as the floor is very cold and there are no carpets to keep your feet warm.

Perfect!

Pros: Stunning home, friendly and responsive owners, super clean. Stylish and comfortable and in a quiet part of town yet 10 minute walk to the centre. Was given some cool recommendations for a bar etc and loved the places we found that way. All in all an incredibly special place to stay. Can’t fault any of it

Enjoyed a nice week in an apartment that allowed us to have family visit us and enjoy a coffee.

Pros: A beautiful, spacious, well appointed apartment. Quiet area. Close to supermarket. Helpful host.

Cons: Did miss not having a TV or microwave.

Spacious

Pros: Lovely spacious apartment in a lovely quiet area, just a short walk to the centre of Utrecht. Recommended and we would definitely stay here again

Amazing apartment!

Pros: We had a truly wonderful stay at Appartement in de Pastorie. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short and pleasant walk from the city center, yet tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood that feels like a retreat from the bustle. The apartment itself is beautifully restored, blending historic charm with modern comfort. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully arranged, from the cozy furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen. We especially loved the little terrace—perfect for a morning coffee or a relaxing evening. Our hosts were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, offering great tips for local spots and making sure we had everything we needed. The free on-site parking and fast Wi-Fi were also big pluses. If you're looking for a stylish, quiet, and convenient place to stay in Utrecht, this is it. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

Pros: Such a beautiful room to start and end a magical day in Utrecht.

Charming neighborhood, with its quiet, serene vibe, was perfect for relaxation, and the short walk to the city center.

Pros: A huge thank you to the wonderful host for her exceptional support during a stressful incident. On 3rd, April 2025, my rental van from SIXT, wrongly provided instead of my booked SUV, got stuck in the gravel lot, an unprecedented event per the owner. The owner promptly assisting us and managing the lot’s repair with grace. Her kindness turned a frustrating situation into a manageable one, and her hospitality made our stay memorable. Highly recommend.

Great stay

Pros: Comfortable bed, spacious kitchen, helpful host, great location, minutes from supermarket and bike hire.

How nice it is to stay in an authentic Utrecht building

Pros: It was very pleasant to stay 2 nights in this beautiful, renovated facility 15 minutes walk from the center of Utrecht. Our room was on the ground floor (we were lucky, considering the typical Dutch stairs 😅) large, bright, comfortable, warm and clean. Comfortable bed, large shower, kettle and coffee machine with capsules. Maaike, the owner who welcomed us, was really nice and helpful. I would definitely stay there again!

Cons: The only drawback is that the toilet, which is also private, is in a separate room just outside the bedroom, and the effect of the lower temperature than in the bedroom is a little uncomfortable, but manageable.

Great short stay and great hostess

Pros: Great location. Quiet but walkable and close to sights of Utrecht and good bars and restaurants close too. Excellent facilities and private.

Cons: not much, but parking in holland is expensive in cities. Better to get the train or a bus and then hire a bike
