Utrecht is bursting with fun and unique bed and breakfasts that let you explore this charming city extensively. The bustling city centre, beautiful canals and historic buildings make Utrecht a wonderful place to go on an adventure or just to relax. Read on in this blog and discover my top 5 selection of the nicest B&Bs in and around Utrecht.

1. B&B Cornelis - Maliestraat 16

What started more than a century ago as a successful delicatessen in the heart of Utrecht has now transformed into the endearing B&B Cornelis. Besides a delicatessen, Cornelis is now a coffee bar, lunchroom, and one-room hotel. The stylish room is in the former coach house where you spend the night under the old rafters. Through the skylights, you look at the twinkling starry sky.

Start your day off right with a fresh croissant, yoghurt with organic granola or well-topped country bread on the cosy city patio. This bed and breakfast is all about quality and authenticity. Enjoy a careful selection of organic and home-made delicacies from Utrecht that will spoil your taste buds.

2. Logement Petit Beijers - Vismarkt 16 - 18

In the bustling centre of Utrecht, where the well-known Dom tower casts its shadow, you will find the following B&B not to be missed: Logement Petit Beijers. This historic lodge consists of two monumental canal houses from the 15th century. Experience the richness of history in the choice of six unique room types, each with its own character and irresistible charm. In the morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast in the tempting soup bar, with savoury soups and homemade pastries, including vegetarian and vegan options.

This bed and breakfast has a perfect location, situated on the bustling Vismarkt and the iconic Oudegracht in Utrecht. With Central Station within walking distance, accessibility to this oasis of hospitality is made effortless and easy. For guests with some mobility difficulties, it is important to note that due to the preservation of historical features, Logement Petit Beijers does not have a lift to the rooms. The stairs are authentic, but quite steep and narrow. So be prepared for a little extra adventure during your trip to the cosy rooms at this B&B in Utrecht.

3. Daen's Greenhouse Hotel - Korte Minrebroederstraat 17

Above their beautiful plant shop is Daen's Greenhouse Hotel, an extraordinary blend of elegance and cosy B&B charm, tucked away in the middle of Utrecht. Step inside and imagine yourself among the green leaves of the greenhouse, before inserting your key into one of the three special rooms. Whether you choose a view of the city square or an atmospheric rooftop terrace, all rooms feature a mix of contemporary design and nostalgic vintage, interwoven with luxury and unparalleled comfort.

You will be welcomed by Daen's own café, next to the bed and breakfast on the city square in Utrecht. Artisanal, organic dishes are served here, including their irresistible goat cheese salad. Daen's is a true multi-talent, as besides a café, greenhouse and B&B, it also houses a boutique where you can browse for unique garments.

4. Swaenenvecht Cottages - Dorpsstraat 16A

Step back in time and be enchanted by the historical splendour of Logement Swaenenvecht. This lodge is a fairy-tale National Monument from 1678 with a beautiful location. Ornate hanging candelabras, herringbone floors and centuries-old wooden beams characterise this B&B. This charming B&B is located along the picturesque river Vecht in Oud-Zuilen, near Utrecht.

At Logement Swaenenvecht, countless indispensable experiences await you. From the bed and breakfast, for example, you can cycle beautifully along the sparkling banks of the Vecht, which runs along the province of Utrecht. Prefer to sit quietly? No problem. Take a refreshing boat trip on the calm waters or enjoy an unforgettable High Tea in the luxurious gardens. The village is also home to the impressive Slot Zuylen, which dates back to 1250. In the 18th century, the castle was converted into the majestic castle it is today.

Fun fact: the B&B's name is derived from the two fighting swans that proudly adorn the façade, aptly named 'Swaenen-vecht'.

5. B&B Sleeping under the Cathedral - Lichte Gaard 4

There is hardly anything more typical of Utrecht than this charming bed and breakfast. In fact, at Slapen onder de Dom you sleep in a cosy wharf cellar that was formerly used as a warehouse. This promises to be a unique and authentic experience. Although no breakfast awaits you, the accompanying kitchen offers you all the freedom to give free rein to your culinary talents. Then enjoy your breakfast at leisure on the romantic riverside terrace.

With an excellent location in Utrecht, this B&B offers the perfect base for exploring the city. Whether you are looking for adventure or tranquillity, Sleeping under the Dom combines the ideal location with privacy and peacefulness.

As you can see, there are plenty of unique bed and breakfasts in Utrecht. I have given you my favourites, but of course there are many more. Hopefully I have inspired you and you will soon discover the enchanting charm of this beautiful city.
