Staff was very friendly and helpful when I needed help. This hotel is right in the mix of the market. So many shops to visit. Groningen is a beautiful college town with more bikes than i could have imagined...
Had a really lovely stay at this hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful and room was beautiful. Great location and very clean room. Would definitely stay again without hesitation.
Great location, really friendly staff, clean facilities and the free drink token was a nice touch. Very good very for money, will keep this place in mind when I return!
Beautiful historic building directly on the main square. Saturday night can be a bit noisy, but that is to be expected with the location. Friendly and very helpful staff.
The hotel is lovely, but not well accessible for people with handicaps because there are tons of steep stairwells. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the room was clean.
Friendly staff & very polite, hotel is situated in the center of Groningen & approximately a15min walk from the train station. Plenty of choices for breakfast, certain areas of the hotel are in need of decorating along with new carpets ( tripping hazard) did not see any wheelchair access
The room was tiny and not at all as pictured. The shower only has a rain shower and no bath cloth is provided. Water pressure is non existent and because the ceilings are high the water temperature is never hot. No in room fridge. We requested another room but we’re not accommodating at all. Breakfast is not included. The hotel is very charming and fitting with the ambience and culture. Staff is courteous. Location made up for the inconveniences.

Cozy hotel on the very energetic market square
Fantastic cozy hotel in the heart of Groningen overlooking the market square. The older hotel, which was renovated perhaps 20 years ago, is a beautiful old building. The staff was pleasant, and the rooms are generous in size for northern Europe. The bathroom was large and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Room temperature was great. The only challenge is that it is on the market square and Groningen has an energetic nightlife--so bring your large earplugs, as the partiers are out all night long and the windows are hardly sound proof.
