Tophotel in Groningen. Gastvrij en sfeervol
Pros:

Mooi klassiek hotel op een prachtige locatie in het centrum van Groningen. De kamers zijn sfeervol en het hotel heeft een authentieke uitstraling. Het ontbijt was heerlijk en goed verzorgd. Het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk, gastvrij en behulpzaam, waardoor je je meteen welkom voelt. Een aanrader voor iedereen die Groningen wil bezoeken! Grtjs Anies en Adriana uitt Elst GLD.

Gerne wieder
Pros:

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen! Das Personal war über den ganzen Aufenthalt freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist super: Zentral an den Plätzen und nahe des Forums. Für die heissen Tage: Es hatte eine Klimanlage im Zimmer.

Cons:

Mit 2 Koffern war unser Zimmer ein wenig eng, aber es war auch so total machbar. Es hat uns trotzdem gefallen!
