Mother Goose Hotel

Welcome under our wings

Mother Goose Hotel

Mother Goose Hotel opened its doors in 2014 on the vibrant Ganzenmarkt, right in the historic heart of Utrecht. This special boutique hotel is housed in a monumental building with a rich past—from medieval city castle to famous squat, and now a warm home for travelers from around the world. The hotel has 23 unique rooms spread across four floors, each with its own color theme: white, grey, brown, and black. From the cozy Small Mother Goose Room (16 m²) to the spacious suites with spectacular views of the Dom Tower—every room is thoughtfully designed by Morph Design and combines design with ultimate comfort. For families traveling together, Mother Goose also offers beautiful connecting rooms, perfect for those who want to stay close while maintaining privacy. Hospitality is in Mother Goose's DNA. With a small, carefully curated team, Mother Goose goes the extra mile to ensure guests have an unforgettable stay. Personal, open, and warm—that's the Mother Goose experience. Upon arrival, you're welcomed with a drink, and the team is always ready to help with tips, reservations, or just a good conversation. Mother Goose is Green Key Gold certified and takes sustainability seriously, from energy-saving techniques to conscious choices in daily operations. A stay here is more than just an overnight—it's coming home under Mother Goose's wing, in a building full of character, stories, and genuine Utrecht warmth.
