    rooftop bar
    no air conditioning

    The vibrant rooftop bar provided a unique space to unwind while enjoying fine views of Groningen.

    Unfortunately, the lack of air conditioning made the top floor room quite warm .

    Loved out star, the hotel is ideal and centrally located in that garden. Exceptionally clean and budget units with coffee, clean bathroom, as for instance, and the staff were very helpful! A microwave, an electric kettle, and a fridge were provided.

    thoughtful staff
    vibrant atmosphere
    noise concerns
    limited parking

    The staff went above and beyond, providing ear plugs and soundproofing tips for the potential noise from nearby bars, which I found really thoughtful. The vibrant atmosphere made it easy to explore Groningen's nightlife.

    rooftop bar
    cheerful decor
    lack of air conditioning
    limited amenities
    cleanliness issues

    The rooftop bar offered a good spot to unwind with drinks, and the cheerful decor added a whimsical touch to the atmosphere. While the location was perfect for exploring shops and cafes, the lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortable during the hot days. Despite the room's cleanliness, I would have appreciated more amenities for a longer stay, especially given the high temperatures.

    comfortable stay
    lack of play area

    We stayed at a lovely place with two small kids and had a blast exploring Groningen's entertainment district. The kids loved it! Plus, the staff was super thoughtful.

    My children wanted a play area to enjoy.

    temperature discomfort

    No air-conditioning made the top floor unbearably hot during the summer. Although earplugs were provided due to potential noise from the party crowd outside, keeping the windows closed for privacy made the room quite dark. Additional lighting was definitely needed. The shower also had an annoying tendency to spurt scalding hot water unpredictably.

    central location

    Just a solid selection for a short layover in Groningen with great value-to-price ratio. The central location made it easy to explore local shops and nightlife. Bring earplugs if you're sensitive to noise at night.

    quirky decor

    Highly recommended for couples looking to stay central

    The outlets were conveniently near the bed, easy to charge devices while relaxing. The coffee machine with capsules made mornings much better, and my wife loved the quirky airplane cupboard style in our room, she kept wandering around like a curious cat , it was entertaining to see.

    It wasn't exactly budget-friendly , but still acceptable for the experience we had.
