I was late to book a hotel for my attendance of a trade fair at Utrecht's Jaarbeurs, but Economy Hotel still had a few rooms available. I decided not to pay a premium for the other surrounding hotels because the user rating for Economy Hotel is decent despite its 2-star official rating. While the hotel's location was fine (it is an easy 10-15 min walk from the train station and trade fair and a 15-20 minute walk to the Dom Tower in the city center), I do not think the hotel deserves the user ratings it's getting. First of all, I had difficulty finding the place because the hotel's entrance moved away from the corner that the pictures suggest. In fact, before I called, I was standing outside the closed location at night thinking the hotel had shut down and I was out of luck. I will say the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and sociable, but there were some shady characters staying at the hotel or hanging around it. The room itself was tiny. There are no standard rooms, each is unique because it's a small boutique hotel. I was put in a room where I could touch both walls with my arms wide. The bed was uncomfortable, the shower was in the bathroom (literally in it and all over it), and trash from the previous guest had not been thrown out. Overall, despite the friendly staff, I couldn't wait to get out of Utrecht.
