Great location and wonderful breakfast

We stayed here for four nights and had a great experience. It was a short walk to the nearest bus stop, the Martinitoren, the Forum, restaurants, small shops, and there is a grocery store practically across the street. The breakfast spread is amazing, with hot food, pastries galore, and even champagne! Hot coffee and tea are available throughout the day with their self-service machines. I can't say enough about the friendly staff who treated us so kindly and always with a smile. The hotel is very old, but has been remodeled recently. You may notice that those are real zebra heads mounted in the entryway, but there is a positive story about them. They actually died naturally at the zoo, and instead of feeding them to the lions, the zoo taxidermied them and sold them as a fundraiser. I definitely will stay here the next time we visit Groningen.

A nice stay in Gronnigen

Stayed here with my tour group the night of October 8. The main building of the hotel is over 300 years old, and this hotel screams character. Some of the stairs are quite steep, but have no fear, they have elevators. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms felt a bit spartan but were very comfortable. Bathroom had a tub and a seperate shower stall. The fixtures reminded me of my grandmothers home. The breakfast was very good and well worth the price. If I were to travel to Gronnigen I would stay here again. Lots of places to eat nearby if you dont want to dine at the hotel. Underground parking is a short walk from the hotel.

2/10 Terrible

Teri

The primary reason for my negative review is the fact the hotel was suppose to refund the first night of my stay due to the Train Stoppage in Amsterdam making it IMPOSSIBLE to go from Amsterdam to Groningen. I spoke with an agent and they advised me I would get credit for the first night. This did not happen. They lied. Even Expedia could not assist me. Everytime we tried to reach someone at the hotel, that person was not it.

The staff were friendly, and spoke good English. They have a very good breakfast. There was a relaxed vibe with interesting animal themed interior design. The staircases are steep and the rooms need to be repainted at some point. Overall, I liked the place and would come back here again.

Het hotel is echt een beetje vergane glorie. Ziet er smoezelig uit en heeft aan uitstraling verloren. Is van een mooi, historisch hotel van jaren geleden een beetje low buget hotel geworden. Kamer was heel simpel en slordig ingericht. Niets bijpassend. Prijs/kwaliteitverhouding niet helemaal ok.
