Detailed Reviews
Was in Groningen for work and cannot fault this hotel. Reception staff were very attentive and assisting in booking taxis, which can be a bit tricky in Groningen. They also provided an iron and ironing board, as the room didn't have one.
The hotel is fairly central, but on a quiet street, so had a good night's sleep. The building is fairly tall, so the rooms on the upper floors (which I had), had some great views. There is plenty of free tea and coffee in the reception and there is a supermarket a 5 minute walk away, if you don't want to pay hotel prices for water. There is a nice looking bar (which I didn't manage to use) and a large breakfast room. The breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. No complaints about the quality at all.
The rooms are large and a bit clinical. Twin beds rather than double beds, which is not ideal. The room has a kettle and tea / instant coffee and a flat screen tv. Beds are comfortable. The bathroom is a tad bit dated, but very large and clean.
If I am back in Groningen, this is where I will stay. This is perhaps not as lively as some of the other hotels, but excellent value for EUR 100 and a very comfortable experience.
Stayed in June 2019.

The hotel is close to the city center and within walking distance of the central railway station. The Oosterpoort public parking garage is a stone's throw away where parking costs 12 euros per day (I think the cheapest in Groningen center). The rooms are on the small side (I always take a standard room). But everything necessary is there, including the possibility to make coffee. The internet is fast and easy to connect. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The property was in a great location, close to the city centre & train station but was rather bland & soul-less. We were on one of the upper floors so had a great view but the room, although well appointed was unfriendly and rather bleak. The twin beds pushed together is a big negative for couples who are used to sharing a bed - the constant gap between the mattresses was annoying! I get the need for double to twin adaptation but attach the mattresses please! Also make it clear where to plug in the hairdryer in the bathroom - it took me a long time to work that out!! The staff were friendly, efficient & helpful &, of course, spoke English...it is the Netherlands! Parking was convenient & secure. Breakfast was the usual average continental.
Coronavirus precautions were clear & concise.

I tried calling the hotel several times to inform us of a late arrival, but they would not pick up the phone. Only on the fifth or sixth time calling them, did I get one of the receptionists on the phone. At check-in, the key card programmer was not working and we had to wait quite a but while the receptionist cycled through 30 cards to try an program one.
The hotel is an older building. The rooms are not up to modern standards anymore. The windows appear to be single glazing in metal frames. This makes it easy to hear noises from outside. And Groningen being a student city, there is quite a bit of noise.
The rooms are heated by a radiator and controlled by a knob on the radiator. The room was cold on arrival and took quite a long time to warm up. There is no safe in the basic and comfort rooms. There is also no safety lock on the doors.
The location is about 15 mins walk from the railway station and 15 mins walk to the city centre.

This is a very good hotel and I will stay here again. I travel to Groningen on a quarterly basis for business. It is within a 10 minute walk of the center of town where you will find any type of restaurant you could want.
The breakfast buffet is very good and the wait staff are very friendly.
The only drawback is that they advertise a laundry for guests but that is only if you reserve one of their apartments. If you reserve a room, you must use their laundry service.

Rooms were large, and clean. Internet worked very well. Reception was friendly and quick. Two points could have been better: 1) there was no airco, and those days temperatures were exceptionally high. Opening windows was not a real option due to street noise until 03:00 AM. 2) Parking was good given that we have a big car, but the need to leave the keys at reception is a bit annoying.

Decent hotel, for the price-range. Rooms are adequate for our one night stay. Wouldn't want to stay for a week, though. Staff are not unfriendly, but seem 'absent minded', at times. Run by all students, I suppose. That was a weird experience. Car park w/ charging station for our car was a nice addition. Warning: the charging rates are steep! Better use the outside ones. Breakfast is mediocre, but lots of fruits available. The fruit-mix tasted a tad 'off', but that could very well be my personal taste. The bedrooms are clean and the bedding is average. We slept well, although there was considerable noise from outside. Bathroom is basic but clean. Amenities are meh. Location is excellent; just far enough away from the city centre and nearby enough to walk. City centre is a ten minutes walk away, where you will find everything you need. Bars and restaurants in the city are generally excellent. Three star hotel, imo.

I reached this hotel on late evening on a weekday. I had called them up about late arrival earlier in the evening. But on reaching, I was surprised to hear that they had no free rooms for me. Finally after trying, they allocated me a temporary room which had to be changed later. By the time I reached my room, it was 11pm. Although the room was basic, I was so tired that I just crashed into the bed.
Comfort rooms are small. No Amenities in room other than the electric kettle. Even shaving mirrors, soap dispensers are missing. Breakfast available at additional cost. I have stayed in much better neighboring hotels in Groningen at the same budget.

Great place to stay for whatever reason: a city visit, but also work visit. Spacious rooms, rather business like. Coffee/tea in room, also free in the lobby (a plus!), and breakfast is very good. I liked the location: easy to reach by car or train, close to the center, but very quiet. Beds are a bit soft, is my only small remark..
