Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located at the heart of Groningen, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms vary in size and noise levels, but the shower quality is excellent. The staff is welcoming and friendly, offering helpful tips and services. The dining options are satisfactory, with a decent variety of breakfast choices. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.
The hotel is conveniently located near the center, but the rooms are nothing special. My room was super small with a shower that resembled one from a sailing boat, just placed in the room.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were on the small side, including the bathroom space, and faced the main street, making it hard to sleep due to the noise from outside. However, I considered myself lucky just to get a room at all. The service was helpful in assisting us with lost luggage and arranging parking at a discounted rate, but it was a bit challenging to reach by car. The location was good, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, although the noise from motor traffic made it a bit noisier than the city center. The dining was fine but nothing special, and the price was a bit higher than expected. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.
The hotel offered a compact and simple room with a street view, a nice fire feature, and a relaxed atmosphere in the bar. However, it got really cold at night. The service was quick and the staff spoke fluent English, which was appreciated. The location was great for a short walk downtown but could be noisy near the street. The dining options were good for shopping, bars, and restaurants, although not a wide variety of food choices.
The hotel felt like a throwback to a French hotel from 25 years ago, with very small rooms that could be noisy if facing the street, lacking cleanliness upon arrival and featuring uncomfortable beds. Despite these drawbacks, the double-bed was tiny, and the overall condition of the room felt worn out. On the positive side, the hotel had a slightly nostalgic charm, reminiscent of past eras.
The hotel is in a great area, slightly above other hotels, with convenient access to the city center, train station, and nice restaurants. The rooms had a bad smell, possibly from the bathroom, were spacious but felt small with a child, and had a noticeable mold odor. The service was excellent and helpful, but they convinced us to upgrade due to the lack of air conditioning in our booked room. The location is marvelous, allowing easy walks to the Grote Markt and train station. The dining is good with diverse options, and the facilities are modern and spacious.
Staying here felt like being in a cozy caravan nestled in a courtyard, though the room was on the smaller side and had a slight musty odor. It was a bit challenging to move around the room due to the space limitations and the location of the bed next to the window wall. The lack of basic amenities like paper tissues was noticeable.
Staying at the hotel felt like a trip back to a French hotel from 25 years ago. While the room was small with basic amenities, it was clean and comfortable. The location was very good, close to the city center, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience had a good variety of breakfast items but was a bit pricey. The service provided mixed experiences with some helpful interactions and others showing a lack of friendliness.
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center and train station, with nice restaurants nearby. The room size was an issue with limited space for luggage, no phone or internet, and uncomfortable TV positioning. Service was friendly and helpful, though temperature control was a challenge upon arrival. The location is great for exploring the city but could be tricky for parking. Dining options were good but limited. Overall, a decent hotel for a short stay.
