“The perfect boutique hotel in Utrecht! We LOVED our stay at Mother Goose. The location was perfect, the room was charming, and the staff were so friendly. Utrecht is a wonderful city, and this hotel feels like it's in the center of it all. It's a smaller hotel, which made our stay feel personal. We booked a suite, and the space and bathroom were great!”
