Hotel has certain areas under renovation. Our room was simple and a little tired looking but very clean. Wish that it had a kettle, fridge and safe. Perhaps the new renos will have the upgrade. Would recommend others to stay here.

The hotel is in a great location. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It would be nice to have drink facilities in the room though.
The breakfast is good. The bar area is large.
My only complaint is that the prices are hiked for the Dutch TT and it’s getting very expensive.
It is a nice hotel, but not worth the increased cost

This is a very cute hotel. It is older and thus has some older facilities. Our transactions with the staff were friendly and efficient. We definitely felt welcome. Our room was clean and comfortable. No frills but everything we needed it to be. As in many older hotels, the shower was small but adequate. My wife and I jokingly called it the \"cruise ship shower.\" It is in a very convenient location to walk to the Martini tower or the Groninger Museum. Lots of dining options and near by grocery stores. The breakfast the offer has breads, meats, cheeses, yogurt, fruit and some cereals. I'd certainly stay here again. We had a lovely time.

Best to avoid if you can

We stayed 5 nights as we were settling my son into university. Twin room had barely 20 centimeters space before hitting the walls and beds wedged up against each other. Desk chair could barely pull out without ramming the foot of the bed. Paper thin walls. Could hear every bodily function of the person next door as well as all his conversations. No ammenities like a kettle or mini fridge. Wifi needs to re-enter the password hourly. There were also mutiple instances it went down for the whole hotel without notice. Poor ventilation. We were second floor but kitchen odors and noise were noticible. Checked to see before booking that there was AC but told by different clerks there wasn't. Groningen isn't warm usually but it was very warm this week. At check out another different clerk then told me they had it in 'some' rooms. Mattresses were very lumpy and tired. It was clean and central but not much else positive to say about it.

The room I was given on arrival was not what I had booked. The city at weekends is very busy, which is great, however my room was on the main road . It was so noisy that I was unable to sleep for 2 nights until i was finally moved to a quiet room. I liked the location of the hotel but the rooms looked dated and tired and very small.
The staff was very nice and helpful.
Sadly I cannot help feel disappointed by my overall experience.

Thanks for the brisk room temperature

Well this was an interesting experience. No heating in the room for two full nights, in November. My wife spoke with the reception staff three times to get it fixed. After living in Groningen for 8 months in the past I am aware of attitudes of the customer being always in the wrong. Inaction when faced with an uncomfortable situation certainly does not result in a positive feedback. Because of the attitudes of the staff I would not recommend.

The key issue is the bed is really old and uncomfortable. The pillow was like a sack of potatoes. The hotel is a budget hotel in the centre of Groningen but avoid it if you want to get a good night of sleep. Not worth the discomfort. The carpet is fithy. I an surprised they can get away with it.

The hotel itself is nice and perfectly situated in the heart of town. I've been to Groningen several times visiting my daughter and I only needed 1 night stay this time. I found the room I had to be extremely small and the bathroom almost impossible. The faucet was push down and 15 sec. water then shut off. While I appreciate the importance of being environmentally conscious that was a hotel first for me. Also, it was July and hot but the windows only open a fraction and the noise from the street on a Friday goes on into the wee hours (no A/C, only heat). Luckily I had custom ear plugs and I got to sleep and checked out. I understand this is an old heritage building however at 100€ a night, in a small little town, I would have expected a little more.

Great location and staff but small bathroom

Was is this great town for a 4 day conference. Hotel location was near my conference and near restaurants and museums. Staff was professional and helpful.

Room was better than I thought from website but smaller than some Americans might expect. My only point is because shower/bathroom was very small - OK for me but I think bigger bodies would have problems with it.

Central, and that's an advantage.

First room was disappointing- scruffy and overlooking a dismal flat roof. Shower was broken so we were transferred to a room at the front- bigger, more pleasing in every way (except the shower fan wasn't working!) Great atmosphere in the bar area for breakfast.

It is what it is

Great location in Groningen. Next door is a market that has great coffee.

The hotel itself is what it is: a local hotel that is oriented toward meeting with friends and family than a luxury hotel with a luxury room. The hotel's downstairs bar, eating area, and back benches are great. The room is very small and the bathroom is even smaller. Actually, the bathroom is a pre-fab boat bathroom. It is literally a fiberglass box that they inserted in the room, which is why the room is so small. If are comfortable with small, functioning European hotel rooms, you will be good. If you are from the States and are expecting lots of room to stroll around, you will be disappointed.

What you see..

The Martini is a very convenient place to stay in Groningen. It is metres away from the heart of the city and the shops/pubs/restaurants.
The ground floor doubles as breakfast buffet and bar and is warm and welcoming. They also have the best orange juice! Staff are friendly and always helpful.
The downside is that the rooms are basic and small - but if all you want is to sleep in them, then great value.
I have been back and would do so in the future.

Kylmä ja kulunut

Huoneessa oli saapuessa ikkuna auki ja sen takia kylmä. Patteria sai säädettyä itse, mutta kesti että huoneen sai lämpimämmäksi ja patteri piti kovaa kohinaa, jonka takia se piti laittaa yöksi pois päältä. Kylpyhuone haisi vahvasti kloorilta, eikä haju hälvennyt kolmen yön vierailumme aikana. Huoneen katossa oli reikiä. Sängyn alla oli roskaa. Vessan huuhtelu toimi aika huonosti ja sitä piti painaa useaan kertaan että sai vessan vedettyä. Suihku oli vaikea käyttää, koska se oli vanhanaikainen, josta toisesta vivusta saa kuumaa vettä ja toisesta kylmää. Ikkunasta näkymä ankealle sisäpihalle. Sänky oli ihan hyvä, muuten huone aika huonokuntoinen.
