Hotel Hotel de Doelen

Grote Markt 36, 9711 LV Groningen, Netherlands –

*8.7* Grote Markt: only 1 minute away! (50 yards on foot)

Lock in a great price for Hotel de Doelen - rated 8.3 by recent guests.

to get started.

The location was very central, with a good atmosphere outside for drinks and food. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable.

Stephanie, United Kingdom

The front communal room is extremely comfortable, big arm chairs around a warm fire, with lots of lovely antique style books and furniture around the room, and big bay windows overlooking the main plaza. Made us feel a lot richer and posher than we were! Rooms are very comfortable and breakfast very good.

Jamie, United Kingdom

Friendly staff. Nice breakfast, except that no vegetables were offered. I stayed there mid-May, when a large funfair was taking place at the major marketplace, which could have seriously affected one's sleep. However, I had asked for a quiet room, which I did get. I was grateful for that.

Vanda, Hungary

We arrived late at night and there was a hive of activity at the front of the hotel. We were slightly nervous thinking that we might not be able to sleep with the noise but we needn’t have worried as we didn’t hear a thing! Breakfast was fantastic! Staff were very helpful! The location was perfect very central!

Marguerite, Ireland

Room at rear of hotel , we would have preferred one at the front. Had one breakfast only , one was enough . Better breakfast at local restaurant both in quality and far more reasonable

John, United Kingdom

It was a bit strange for me, to take a hotel in the city I was born in and lived for a while but the great reception and the hotel itself made me feel right at home. It is an incredibly centric location and I have been many a time in the pubs adjacent to the hotel so I knew more or less how it would look from the inside but I was pleasantly surprised by the labyrinth like stairs and hallways. Great atmosphere, nicely renovated rooms.

Iriseh, Spain

Fantastic, polite, helpful staff. Extremely convenient location. The rooms are large, well-furnished, and kept very clean. The bathtub is nice and deep. The coffee and tea is very nice. Unfortunately, no hot chocolate or decaf coffee choices, but considering it's plentiful, free, and very good, no complaints at all!

Anne-marie, Netherlands

The location was perfect, central and close to the shops and restaurants. The room was clean, comfy and the breakfast was superb!

Location excellent right on main square. Lovely room well presented with good natural light. Comfortable bed. Lovely lounge.

One of our bestsellers in Groningen! Hotel De Doelen is located at the foot of the Martini tower, in a beautiful monumental building. The hotel offers modern facilities and free Wi-Fi.

The hotels rooms are all characteristically furnished and have a private bathroom. The rooms have a seating area where you can relax.

In the morning, the hotel serves breakfast to start your day well. There is also a cosy lounge where you are welcome for lunch, coffee and tea or a dinner.

The hotel offers a superb view on the city centre of Groningen and the Grote Markt, which existed already over 200 years. In summer you can enjoy a drink on the terrace in front of the hotel in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city.

This is our guests' favourite part of Groningen, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

“Adequate, centrally located hotel.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
Whilst the room was clean, the corridors and breakfast area could have been cleaner. My room was also located on a small corridor on the top floor (with only 2 other rooms) which felt a bit isolated as a lone traveler. The stairs to access the corridor were also incredibly steep and difficult to climb with a heavy suitcase.
The location was very central, with a good atmosphere outside for drinks and food. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable.

“Centric location and great atmosphere”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Double or Twin Room

Always a problem with such a centric location is the parking. We were advised by the hotel to park close by at Rademarkt but chose to park at the central station due to expected crowds at Koningsdag (should not have been worried). It is a little further but still very walkable and in fact there are many different parking options for a reasonable day-price nearby.
