I stayed at the Malie hotel last week as part of a business trip.... If you are getting a taxi here then ask for the Malie hotel rather than the Sandton Malie it was about 9 euros from the Central train station in Utrecht. The hotel is about 20-25 mins walk out of Central Utrecht but there are shops, restaurants and a supermarket fairly close to the hotel.
First impressions were a lovely, welcoming lobby with leather chairs, chandeliers and a well stocked library. The reception staff were some of the most welcoming I have ever experiencedd and it was like they had been waiting for us, they were very pleased to see us! The receptionist quickly checked us in and gave us our room keys. I had a double room which was actually twin beds pushed together. The beds were very soft and there was an extra pillow and blanket in the wardrobe. The room was a good size with wardrobe space, a safe deposit box, three chairs and a small table. The room was, however, quite basic and a little tired looking and lacked any tea or coffee making facilities. There was no refridgerator/mini bar which is always handy for keeping water in or provisions etc. The bathroom was small, but large enough for a shower and a bath. The towels supplied were plentiful and everywhere was spotlessly clean. I have to say considerling the lobby, the rooms were disappointing. Although they were clean, had all the basics and had a superb, high quality, flat screen TV, I thought the room facilities didn't merit the 140 Euros price tag I paid (for one person!).
Breakfast both mornings of my two night stay was of good quality and there was a choice of cereals, bread, cheeses, eggs and bacon, fruit and juices. The coffee machine was very good quality and again the staff were friendly and tried to be helpful. My colleague who has a gluten allergy was offered some gluten free bread. The only downside to breakfast was no toaster as the two they had were faulty.
I think to sum things up I would stay here again because the staff at this hotel are second to none. They are friendly, helpful, go out of their way to make your stay pleasant and are very efficient. If the hotel is given a little face lift I think it would be wonderful
