Pros:

Locatie midden in het centrum op de Grote Markt, dichtbij alle voorzieningen.
Goede bedden en temperatuur op de kamer.
Echt een boutique hotel.

Cons:

Redelijk gehorig qua geluid van buren welke s'nachts terug kwamen, TV defect op kamer en badkamer heeft een opknapbeurt nodig. Veel trappen op om bij de kamer te komen, was echt een zolderkamer.

Excellent hotel
Pros:

The hotel is located on the central Grote Markt square in Groningen. The interior has preserved the building's historic character while being beautifully renovated with a touch of luxury.
The rooms are spacious, featuring soft carpeted floors, comfortable beds, air conditioning, a desk, and a coffee table with cozy armchairs.
The bathroom is large and well designed, with everything needed for a refreshing shower and a comfortable stay. The entire hotel was spotlessly clean.

Cons:

We had to wait longer than expected at the reception, both during check-in and check-out.

Sehr zentrales Hotel, bestens geeignet für ein Wochenende im wunderschönen Groningen
Pros:

Bei 37 Grad Außentemperatur war ich überglücklich mit der Klimaanlage im Einzelzimmer! Die Lage war perfekt, direkt am Marktplatz mit vielen Bars in der Nähe.
Das Hotel ist im Stil der Jahrhundertwende gehalten und somit sehr traditionell!
Das geräumige Badezimmer mit Dusche und Badewanne konnte überzeugen!

Cons:

Mir ist nichts negatives aufgefallen.
