Great bath tub with jacuzzi

We found the room dark and oppressive with poor internal room lighting, black decoration and very little sun light sie to „designer“ windows rather than actually functional windows. However, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bath tub great.

Central Groningen perfect stay

The reception on arrival was great and the service was excellent - by offering a drink and explain how the hotel operates. The hall (incl. breakfast room) has a home-like feel and has boardgames displayed. You can also play pool in the hall whilst having a drink. Also, you get two access cards to the room which is spacey, modern and clean. No noise was heard during our stay.

Wouldn't do it again. Overpriced.

The staff were great in all ways but the room itself is 100% overpriced. Stains on the curtain and human faeces on the bathroom wall. Even though we had a smoke free room, marijuana smoke still occured. Noice from the street as well.

Thin walls so basically you hear your room neighbours a little bit too much. We had a room close to the stairs so we heard all other guests passing by talking and slamming in doors. However, the hotel is very good apart from that.

Markus

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

No apology

I got my payment card taken from my hotel room by the cleaning people. They eventually gave it back but no apology or anything from the staff. I was wondering if I can even leave any items in the their rooms. It should be a standard that guest items from the rooms should not be taken by the employees. The breakfast was good.

Right in the heart of the party

This was a surprisingly good hotel. Ample water pressure and plenty of hot water for the shower, modern fixtures, etc. The service staff were very good/attentive, excellent English. Convenient location near the cathedral and the University hangouts. There is a big parking lot nearby, but I didn't have a car; the hotel is convenient (10 minute walk) from the train station. Perhaps it isn't this rowdy all the time, but I was there during Euro Cup (and the Netherlands made it to the semis) so there was a lot of late-night noise from the pub patios nearby, up to 3am both nights. It didn't bother me (I'm a sound sleeper) but maybe something to consider if you are in Holland during a major athletic event!
