Lovely place; very nice staff and it is great that this classic hotel remains so well maintained. Best location in town yet the building structure means the rooms are still quiet. Very comfortable. Only thing I don't like is the 10:30 check out time ;)

Room was clean albeit basic. Location was the big winner here and even with a lively number of nearby bars there was minimal noise and my room was front facing. Overall happy with stay but as stated room facilities were basic eg no fridge, safe etc. would recommend for a short stay.

The best hotel experience in the Netherlands!! Our room, no 301, was large and spacious with a huge bathroom compared to anything we've have had on previous trips to the Netherlands. So that in combination with a super friendly staff makes this boutique hotel a clear first choice when visiting Groningen. The hotel is situated smack in the center of the city and you are only minutes away from lots of restaurants and things to see. A special mention to the staff who was the friendliest and most attentive I have experienced in years. Well done all of you. You made our stay ❤️ Will definitely come back🥰

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

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.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Simply a fantastic hotel. Very helpful and kind staff. Best location in town. Our room was quiet and felt large. And clean. Having breakfast outside, watching the city wake up was a great start to the day. Thanks for fine stay. I think we’ll be back.
