    It was a shame about the parking. Luckily there was a meter so we could still park there.

    The location is perfect, a supermarket was 2 mins walk away. The main town is also right there. Beautiful building with picturesque views of the town.

    Unfortunately there was a problem with the electricity in the kitchen (stove and fridge not working) on our last evening, which could not be fixed and there was also no warm water in the shower. But the staff was very keen to help (even without success) and we got a little discount afterwards. Can happen - nevermind! Besides that only small things to critizise: - the light in the kitchen-area is a little too dark - a pouffe or someting else to put one's feet up in addition to the sofa would be nice - Since there is a dishwasher in the kitchen, it would be beneficial to have more than four of each dish/cutlery so one does not have to run the dishwasher only half-full. - we missed some nightstands, especially because the bed is very high and it is not very comfortable to reach down to the floor

    We had an amazing appartment and enjoyed our stay a lot. - extraordinally cosy bed! - spectacular view over the city - very stylish interior - a lot of space - The staff was extremely dedicated and helpful. - Luckily the Sky lounge was open on our last morning, so we enjoyed a coffee with a wonderful view. - care products of high quality - location: It is a 10-minutes walk to the city centre, a supermarket is located just across the river, quiet neighbourhood - perfect for our needs. If we ever visit Groningen again, we will come back!

    Honestly - it was great- they took us on a tour as well- I can’t think if anything to not like.

    It was an amazing hotel. Newly opened, the staff was great, our room had a great voew of city- super kitchen and wow- just large room/ half the water tower level- just our room- very unique!

    The transformation of a former water tower into a modern accommodation was fascinating, and the high ceilings and stunning views added a unique charm. Located conveniently close to Groningen's attractions, it was perfect for exploring the city. What made it even more special was seeing my daughter fascinated by the experience. Highly recommended for people looking for an interesting and comfortable stay in Groningen.

    Kitchen needs a microwave There is a sky lounge at the top closed to guests! The hotel is expensive and in my view slightly overpriced. One of the points of staying in a tower is the view. The fact the sky lounge is closed to guests is not noted in the lift, however when we tried to go to the top floor we were stopped by a member of staff. Apparently visits are possible Sunday. I assume therefore the lounge is for business use only.

    Lovely rooms in an unusual building.

    The one toilet between the two bedrooms was a little small but a nice touch that there were two showers for each of the room. Since the rooms are not serviced, extra coffee capsules would have been appreciated (but got some from the supermarket anyway).

    Beautifully designed, spacious apartment with great views and conveniently located - walkable everywhere in the city and a supermarket very nearby. Plenty of parking spaces (paid for) just outside the hotel or in car parks too.

    Luxurious stay in a spacious apartment in an old water tower at the edge of the city center

    • Superior Apartment

    The distance to the city center takes some walking time which is not ideal when it rains. Also, if you book this hotel for a visit to concert hall the Oosterpoort/SPOT you need to take into account that you need to walk for roughly 30 mins to get there.

    Nice original location as we were staying in an old watertower. The apartment was spacey and decorated in a industrial, modern and cozy style. Two spacious bedrooms with each their own bathroom complemented the vibe.

    Due to how the rooms are shaped there are some disadvantages - the shower is quite large, but the sink area is quite cramped, for example. Takes some getting used to, that's all. It can also get quite windy so probably a good idea to keep the windows closed overnight. Also, the elevator is probably the slowest moving elevator I've ever seen, and I've seen a few.

    The fact that it's a converted water tower speaks for itself - it's really a one-of-a-kind experience. I had the penthouse room and you can see the entire city's skylines from every window. Apparently it's only been opened recently, but either way it looks very new and very well maintained.

    very nice apartment. Location ok to reach the city centre. As everywhere in Groningen, going by private car means that you have to pay for the car parking, and parking at the street has additionallt time constrains.
