"Despite the fact that you had to do a lot of things online, the staff was very friendly and helpful! Really nice!. I only think that the wash basin in the single bed room is too small...you can't use the water from the tap properly to wash your face without spoiling water all around. The bed was good. As in all hotels, single bed rooms are very compact and small, alas..."

When is the best time to go to Binnenstad?
The best time to visit Binnenstad in Groningen is during the spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the city isn't overly crowded.

The Binnenstad, or city centre, is the heart of Groningen and is particularly enjoyable during these months. You'll find the streets, like the Folkingestraat and the Vismarkt, bustling with activity but not overwhelmed. The weather is generally mild, superb for exploring the historic architecture and canals on foot or by bike.

Spring is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor activities and cultural events. The days are longer, and the city's parks, such as the Noorderplantsoen just north of the Binnenstad, are in full bloom. Many outdoor cafes begin to open their terraces, offering a lovely spot to enjoy a coffee or a meal.

Early autumn offers a comfortable experience with cooler temperatures and the beautiful changing colours of the foliage. It's a great time for couples to enjoy romantic strolls along the canals or visit museums like the Groninger Museum, which is easily accessible from the Binnenstad.
