Hostel in a green area with nice views from the rooms. Everything was as described, nothing more nothing less. Easy parking with charging stations. Would be a great stay in summer or spring.

Dear Giridhar,Thank you for your nice review. I am happy to hear that your stay was nice. The surroundings are indeed very beautiful during summer or spring. Will we be seeing you back in summer? :D With kind regards,Kimberley Stayokay Soest
My stay was great. I booked a room for 8 guests. It was clean and comfortable. The toilet was also clean. I really liked the nature surrounding the hostel and the breakfast as well.
Nice quiet place in the woods 10 minutes walk from train station nice friendly staff good breakfast and evening meals would definitely stay again peace and quite away from the city life

There is absolutely no reason that this property should show up on a search for Utrecht accommodations. Between the multiple train stops and walk it is about a 40 minute commute.
Really enjoyed our stay. Staff was very helpful and even returned my husband to our room when he was lost and could not find us. The food was great with lots to choose from. The place was very clean and the atmosphere was great. There are quite a few communal areas with newspapers, books and games. Throughout the day you can always get drinks. This is our second time we stayed here and certainly will come again.
Good quality basic accommodation, well located and peaceful surroundings, very good breakfast.

Shocked
Fairly new and very clean building but as I have never stayed in a hostel before and fault was completely mine not to check the booking information so was very shocked to find myself back in boarding school days. Initial room was very dirty and smelled so on request it’s changed to a better one.
Rooms smaller than we anticipated from the advertising literature. Shower and toilet area smelly in the room. Communal are all nice. Hiring bikes to explore the area is brilliant. Breakfast are good.
A very good budget hostel with private bathroom. The interior design is very nice and the staff is friendly. Breakfast is good too. The only thing needed to improve is the senser light in the bathroom. It cannot work properly as a senser light.
I loved it here. It was quite quiet, and there weren't many other people about but I managed to catch up on some e-mails whilst sat on a huge couch right by a plug socket. Just what I needed. I had dinner which was delicious! Felt more like a five star restaurant than a hostel. I 'hired out' some towels, which probably could have been a bit nicer, but they were sufficient! The only problem I personally had was how far away from everything it was.
There are many places for children around the building. Staffs are very friendly and they let me stay there after check out. Breakfast is good and the lunch box system is good as well.
Basic accommodations. Great staff. Good for families with children. Probably would find something more comfortable in the future.

Nice location!
If you are looking for a fancy place do not book a room here.
Affordable price , close to Utrecht and Amsterdam.
The free internet not very good!
The breakfast is fine.

Beste Ingrid,Wat fijn dat je het naar je zin hebt gehad bij ons in het hostel. Zien we je nog een keer terug?Groetjes,KimberleyStayokay Soest
Wij verbleven 1 nachtje met 2 jonge kinderen in Stayokay Soest. Alles verliep vlot en 's morgens genoten we van het ontbijt. Wij komen zeker nog eens terug als we afspreken met onze vrienden in Amersfoort.

Beste Liesje,Bedankt voor je review. Wat fijn om te lezen dat jullie zo'n leuke ervaring hebben gehad!Ik ga de complimenten zeker doorgeven aan het hele team!Wie zien jullie graag weer terug!Groetjes,KimberleyStayokay Soest
Por el precio muy mal. Por unos €10 adicionales, se puede acceder a un hotel con toallas, jabones y que no huela mal, como este. El desayuno 3.5/5. El equipo de recepción, fantástico y super agradable.

Vi var skuffede over flere ting: Billederne af værelset levede slet ikke op til virkeligheden, morgenmaden var meget dårlig og toilettet fungerede dårligt.

I liked the place, that it was so close to the train station. Also the nature was very nice. Bathroom had some hairs left on the ground behind the toilet.

Dear Marijn,Very nice to receive such a good review! Our hostel is certainly located in a beautiful area, surrounded by all the nature!I’m going to ask housekeeping to pay extra attention to the bathrooms, so that this won't happen again. We hope to welcome you back in the future!With kind regards,KimberleyStayokay Soest
Prima sobere kamer voor heel nette prijs. Stil. Voel me er thuis. Ik vertrok te vroeg voor het ontbijt, maar kreeg een prima royaal ontbijtpakket.
Bed is voor mij wat kort - heb thuis 210cm - en voor mijn gevoel ietwat smal.

Die Lage der Unterkunft war perfekt, schön vom Wald umgeben und sehr nah an den Dünen. Leider waren die Zimmer echt klein und beim Duschen hat man das kleine Bad fast komplett unter Wasser gesetzt.
Vi var en familie på 5 afsted, med 2 overnatninger. Morgenmaden og service generelt var god. Værelserne var ok, og helt klart acceptabelt til denne pris. Hvis det var, så ville vi helt sikkert bo der igen.
