Hotel Domstad
Utrecht, Netherlands
6.2COSY
A time-worn guesthouse where the warmth comes less from the décor, think 1980s interiors, coin-operated showers, and a basic spread of bread, jam, cheese, and egg, and more from host Ted's hands-on hospitality: carrying luggage, greeting guests at breakfast, and making those who appreciate old-fashioned, unhurried care feel quietly at home.
