Hampshire Hotel Plaza Groningen

Excellent staff.

This is essentially a hotel for business and mainly conferences and lacks any warmth or atmosphere. Whilst it has the usual facilities the rooms are characterless, there was no hotel information in the room, no room service and nowhere to get a coffee. OK for a one night stay but not a hotel for an extended stay or for kids.

Total efficiency and hassle free, arrival, bed, breakfast, departure. No frills and no nuisances. An hotel for the business minded.

Perfect position for city visit, with large gardens providing ample opertunity to walk and relax in.Well away from traffic noise.Altogether a pleasant travel experience. Would certainly return next time we visit our friends in Holland.

The parking wasn't ideal

very close to the noisy motoway

Breakfast and lunch variety was very good. Spacious, bright and airy lobby/lounge area. Excellent grounds and walks around the lakes. Indoor swimming pool.

Bedrooms very small and lacking in appliances in rooms - ie - hairdryer and iron (not that there would be enough space for an ironing board in the room) these had to be requested and collected from reception. No fridge available for medication (diabetic insulin) or special dietary foods (coeliac / gluten free medical diet). The kitched cold storage room was suggested...! If there was a fridge for these available at the reception back room at very least it would offer some easier access - albeit inconvenient. These medical conditions are quite common and not at all chosen by the "victims" - unlike vegetarianism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have found that here is very little understanding of medical diets internationally. A market yet to exploit??

Hampshire hotel is simply excellent. It provides all comforts needed for an enjoyable stay.

The windows cannot be opened.

Easy to check in after booking through booking.com. Plenty of parking space.

Very poorly connected to the city centre through only one public bus line (I wouldn't recommend the hotel for that reason). The nearest bus stop was a quite a way from the hotel (very unpleasant under the rain) and then the bus route is quite a distance to the city centre. The hotel should have a direct shuttle bus, at least to the other Hamspshire hotel in city centre. Access to the hotel is poorly advertised on the site. Access to the hotel from the motorway and v.v. is quite a challenge, primarily because it is poorly advertised.

Nice rooms, surroundings, parking, friendly staff.

decoration of hotel lobby was to black, they spent money on it but the result is very unpleasant.

The hotel is a very modern glassy building, staff are very nice and helpful. There's a nice pool. The view was beautiful. The wireless internet worked well from my room at floor number 6.

There was no fridge in my room (but there might be other rooms with fridges - since when I went down to the lobby to ask for ice they asked me if I don't have a fridge...). Though the sheets were clean at the day I arrived, they never replaced them afterwards (for 4 days!). I even damped the sheets on the floor and they only made the bed and didn't replace any sheets. The hotel is a bit far from city center. The nearest bus station is a 10 minute walk. The only bus that's there (number 6) will take you to the central bus/train station and city center. It's a good value for money hotel if you want a quiet place.

Room was clean

Breakfast was veryb basic and not very good.

Hotel was nice and clean. Architecture was interesting. Pretty views from the room. Lobby was large. Late check out allowed for 10 euros.

Wireless internet did not work. Not enough towels or staff. I didn't see one house keeper and the reception clerk was trying to take care of everyone and everything. Nice guy though.
