Ein außergewöhnliches Hotel mitten in der Altstadt von Groningen,ruhig gelegen, nahe der Fußgängerzone.
Pros:

Überaus freundliches Personal, sehr gute Lage, direkt in der Altstadt. Tolles Ambiente. Es ist ein sehr altes Hotel, aber vor einigen Jahren komplett renoviert. „Alt trifft neu“. Ungewöhnliche Ausstattung im Haupthaus. Die Zimmer haben eine Deckenhöhe von ca. 4 Metern, sind sehr geräumig und gut ausgestattet. Im großen Bad gibt es z.B. einen Whirlpool.

Cons:

Sehr steile Treppe, kein Fahrstuhl im Hauptgebäude. Die Anreise mit PKW ist abenteuerlich, per GPS wird man durch gesperrte Straßen geleitet. Vorher unbedingt einen Parkplatz in der Tiefgarage reservieren , kostet allerdings 23 € pro Tag, und die Adresse der Garage erfragen, dann klappt es gut.

Pros:

Charmant wat ouder hotel in het centrum van Groningen. Aardig personeel maar alles wat gedateerd maar daardoor heeft het wel charme en sfeer.
