...and whisked me off to Utrecht, which on arriving at the Utrecht station, was announed in English and had signs a plenty.
I stayed in the NHUtrecht Hotel, which although maybe a bit pricey for a tourist (I was on buisness so didn't worry too much) would be a thoroughly recommended place (apart from the price of their internet connection!) as they have the best breakfast buffet you can immagine!
Anyway, in and around the city:
It was easy to navigate quickly away from the central area littered with offices, concrete buildings and the trainline, to the old areas next to the canal where you can find a beautiful spot to have a 3 course meal for 22euros. Again, on determining that you're English, the waiters and waitresses easily swap their language over to accomodate.

Advantages: Close to town, Quiet, Nice rooms Disadvantages: Expensive bar
...We had immense trouble deciding on a hotel for my husband's birthday break in Amsterdam. We're trying to find a reasonably priced hotel that wasn't too shabby and in a decent location. After reviewing all the options, we went for the NH City Centre, if only because of it's 1920's styling and proximity to town.
We were not disappointed. The hotel is lovely with each room finished beautifully, if you like the modern thing (and we do!). The overall atmosphere is very calm and serene.
It took us forever to find the hotel, but that may have been because I insisted, as I had been to Amsterdam a couple of times before, that finding our way around would be easy, we could walk there and we didn't need a map.

Advantages: Big shopping centre, Great city centre Disadvantages: none
...Utrecht is situated in the centre of the Netherlands. If you want to visit Utrecht, you best travel there by train. From the trein you walk directy in one of the largest shopping centres of the Netherlands : “Hoog Catharijne”.
You will find many many shops there from various genres. Ofcourse many clothing shops, but also electronics, music, food etc. If you leave the shopping centre you will enter the city centre. This is one of the most pleasant centres of Holland. The shops are situated around canals. The centre is quite old. One of the most visited building is the “Dom”, about 100 m. high. This city is certainly worth a visit....
