Wonderful old-style hotel overlooking the Grote Markt
Pros:

Perfect location in the heart of this beautiful historic city. I strongly recommend booking a room with a view over the square. Huge room. Fantastic lounge with open fire. Warm welcome from lovely friendly receptionist. Possibly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at.

Perfektes zentrales Hotel für einen Trip nach Groningen
Pros:

Zentraler geht es nicht, Top Lage!
Alles was man braucht in der direkten Umgebung.
Sehr sauber und unheimlich angenehmes Ambiente.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer hatte leider nur Dachfenster, daher war es eher dunkel und das Badezimmer war sehr klein.

Heerlijk slapen in een sfeervol hotel
Pros:

Mooie ligging in het centrum. Sfeervol ingericht. Ruime badkamer. Rustige nacht. Vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

Voor invalide mensen of mensen die slecht ter been zijn, zou de hoge entreetrap een vervelend obstakel kunnen zijn.

A perfect Hotel!
Pros:

One of the best and most pleasant hotels I have ever stayed at. Beautiful setting, wonderful staff, a large and comfortable room, spotlessly clean and quiet. In addition, there are lovely common areas and a perfect location. Highly recommended!
