    This time the room was substandard (poor beds, no windows with a view) and the service for drinks we planned with relatives was poor. We told 3 different staff members about our plans but nothing was arranged. It was as if no one felt responsible.

    The hotel has a nice location, beautiful garden and in the past we have been happy to return there a couple of times already.

    Room was under roof and thus very hot. No fan in room, window and door opened to a fire escape/stairs. Not sure how accessible for others so did not dare leave door/window open in the night. No hook on door, had to use my shoe to keep it from slamming closed. No hot water in the shower in the morning. If you are not fit keep in my mind that some rooms are not easily accesible, others are.

    Rooms are nice and good size. Beds and pillows are good. Lots of closet space for clothes. TV, and desk in room. Everything was clean. Bathroom ok with nice soft towels. Staff is nice and helpfull. Parking you can book with them is close-by (2 min walk). Breakfast really good. Cute inside courtyard with seats. Close to bars and restaurants and supermarkets. Public transport also close, couple minutes walking.

    Maybe just being a little bit picky since as a single room it does not matter much, but I didn't like that bedroom has a glass window to inside the toilet.

    Very close to city center and staff very friendly. The room is also silent.

    With the excuse of being sustainable and not cleaning the towels (which I am all for it), they literally don't clean your room at all: they do not empty your trash can, clean the bathroom, make the bed, etc. That has nothing to do with saving the planet and given that you are paying a fair amount for any room, I believe a minimun service should be part of the stay.

    The room they gave me had a lot of issues (no lighting in the bathroom, for instance) and they were kind enough to give me another one which clearly was of a better level.

    Noise insulation far below expectation. Revellers’ noise from streets below made it difficult to sleep. This is the only reason for a downgrade. Would recommend the hotel in any other way but the primary purpose of our booking was to have a good place to sleep and sleep we found hard to get.

    Lovely staff and perfect location - we wanted to stay central. Good breakfast, too. Lovely roof terrace to sit in the sun.

    The whole place pretends to be luxurious, but it is very worn-down. Old stained carpets, mould on the walls in the bathroom. Staff was not very friendly at check-in, crappy view (mainly lack thereof) from our room- another building 2 m from our window. The minibar items very expensive( 3.50 euros a can of Coke), but there is a Jumbo 15 m from the hotel.

    Great central location in Groningen, liked the jacuzzi. WIFI was good.

    Little things didn't add up. Wine available in the room to buy (minibar) but no glasses. Notice in room that hotel is "green", environmentally conscious, but offering only flimsy plastic cups in bathroom. Pillows are comfortable but only like 40cm big, so you have to move them with you when turning. Cupboard didn't stay closed, one lamp and electric plug out of order. If you are a smoker, be aware that they don't allow you to smoke on their large outdoor courtyard. I did not like having to stand in the street next to trash cans to have a smoke.

    Breakfast was great and so was the staff. Comfortable bedding

    • Suite
    • Stayed 1 night

    The suite didn't have any table to sit down and work at -- not comfy as I had some work to do. Lots of furniture in the room, but most of it was pretty useless. Parking your car will cost you a fortune.

    A classic hotel in Groningen, with rococo rooms with exuberant decoration (if you book a suite) and lots of beautiful details everywhere. All this in a magnificent old building. The jacuzzi in the suite was extremely nice. Wonderfully located in the center of Groningen.
