Fun travel themed hotel with everything you need. Was quiet when we stayed (winter) but they warn it can get noisy with the bars around the hotel in season. Windows have hard shutters with acoustic foam on to counter this, plus ensure a good blackout! Would go back - better than other hotels I’ve stayed at in Groningen.

If you want to go to sleep before 1am don’t stay here. The bar by the same name but operated by others keeps the music loud until midnight or 1am then you can listen to them clean up and put all the bottles away. Otherwise a nice clean hotel, know before you go!

The room we had was really nice, but a bit cramped. The patio was nice to relax on. Having the kitchen was nice to do some actual cooking for ourselves instead of having to eat out. The bathroom was quite small and dim (which was the only major downside) - and the mirror/light was rotated 90 degrees from what it should have been. Having a clothes washer to use was nice as well, but some instructions would have been nice since we weren't Dutch and are used to a different style

The good - I had a great price for a room with a balcony (the balcony was awesome). All but 1 of the wait staff were excellent. Location was perfect.
The not so good. Breakfast, cheese old, bread loaf (yesterday's bread), coffee machine for breakfast - also not so good, paying a pretty good price for not so great food. Also the roof top deck that was raved about wasn't open for the two days I was there - no reason, just not open. I'd give it 3.6 stars - for me is a pretty good rating.

Not as good as it could be

A interesting place. Funky.

But, our room had no wash basin. The hallway was also very noisy, the oitside was noisy too.

Our mattresses were also not good enough.

Super nice staff, but heating and noise a problem

We really liked the location and the staff were friendly and helpful. But we had three issues. First, the room was prepaid via Hotels.com however this did not register on the Guest House check in system. After showing the receipt, I was told not to worry, but at check out the file was not updated. It was really uncomfortable having to defend this again since we need to rush to make our train!

But this was a minor nuisance in light of two other issues. First, our room faced a courtyard and drunken folks were still laughing it up loudly at 3am! We leaned out the window and asked the to quiet down in English and Dutch but they ignored us.

Second, the heating was not easily adjusted and the room was way too warm. Most rooms therefore had their windows open. Bad for noise and especially bad for the climate. These were disappointments which we hope the Guest House will work on in the future.

Perfect schone kamer en alles eenvoudig maar precies wat je nodig hebt. Heerlijk geslapen. Wel kroegen in de buurt maar daarna stil. Inherent aan locatie, dichtbij waar alles gebeurt. Top dus. Kon kiezen uit verschillende ontbijt tijden erg fijn.
Voor 2e keer erg fijn gehad.

Cooles Hotel mitten im Stadtzentrum, aber...

Sehr cooles Hotel MITTEN im Stadtzentrum mit sehr, sehr freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Mitarbeitenden.
Leider funktionierten die Heizungen in der Nacht nicht, sodass es - gepaart mit leider undichten Balkontüren - nachts EXTREM kalt wurde.
Auf Anfrage gab uns die Rezeption dankenswerterweise ein mobiles Heizgerät.

Fazit: Im Sommer jederzeit gerne wieder, im Winter leider ein NoGo.

Sehr gute Lage, coole Atmosphäre, nette Mitarbeiter. Leider wurde es morgens ab 6 Uhr durch das Reininungspersonal sehr laut im Zimmer. Das Hotel ist recht hellhörig und es wurde viel mit den Türen geknallt, oder sehr laut vor den Zimmertüren geredet, sodass man davon geweckt wurde.

Wir waren mit sechs Mädels da. Und das Hotel ist einfach so toll gestaltet und hat ein wirklich besonderes Design. Alle Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich, die Zimmer geräumig und die Badezimmer groß. Bis 01:00 Uhr ist es nach hinten raus sehr laut, hat uns aber nicht gestört und es gibt Ohropax auf den Zimmern. Auch die gesellige Rooftopbar ist einen Besuch wert. Wir kommen in jedem Fall wieder ♥️

De deur klemde / ging niet open en er was om 0300 's-Nachts niemand te bereiken via telefoonnummer van hotel. (Gelukkig was er geen brand ...) Uiteindelijk na 30 minuten met harde duw de deur opengekregen maar dat kan niet de bedoeling zijn.
