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.

The hotel is amazing ! The position is perfect to quietly go around and discover the center. I think it deserve to pay a little bit more to prefer a room on the roofs, even better with a jacuzi where you can enjoy alone or with your partner After your day and maybe after a Rainy day ! Groninger centre is small and easy to visit in few days !!! The breakfast is really good with fresa products and you can enjoy it in a beautiful sala or in a small Garden ! Another good point the hotel is pet friendly!

Breakfast starts at 7 AM. Last day not all breakfast stuff was in place before 7.30 AM. As a business traveller, I'm prefer breakfast starts at 6.30. The room interior could have been more modern. Appreciated the jacuzzi in the room. Otherwise the interior in the lobby etc is cool.

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.

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.

The hotel was clean and cozy and the room as well. It is worn out but I like the vibe that you get from things like that. However, our room suddenly went ice cold on the second night (no warm water or heating), but I guess it truly was therefore a vintage experience since they weren't used to modern living conditions back then so I can only blame myself for booking an old-timey hotel. Nevertheless, our room also had draft from bad insulation so pack warm regardless if staying during wintertime if you're not used to cold apartments in Central Europe. Luckily we got our breakfast compensated but we still paid 140 euros per night so not really worth the money for me to be freezing. (festival time so all hotels were expensive)

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.
