Lock in a great price for Hotel de Doelen - rated 8.2 by recent guests.

to get started.

The location is great and though you are in the middle of the grote markt I had a quiet room (with a bit of occasional noise from the other rooms). My room was a back room with no view but I had asked for quiet. There is an elevator so no issues with stairs. The lounge area with a fireplace is really nice and cosy (the perfect place to have a cup of tea by the fire). The recepcionist on my arrival day was great! (young woman, shame I didn't catch her name). Couldn't have been more attentive with my requests and nice! Big thanks to her. I only ordered a soup from the restaurant next door but it was delicious and fair priced. Breakfast was also great.

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 9.2 for a two-person trip.

The TV in the room is impossible to watch. Its one of those old tube ones and so small (I think its a 10") and placed high that you have trouble even telling one actor from the other. And I have very good vision! Just doesn't go with the rest of the hotel... The bathroom has a nice rain shower but no water pressure (it would have been better to put a smaller shower head and have a decent pressure).

“Noisy”

There was a techno party in the club right beside the hotel. So we were not able to sleep until 5 in the morning. Then we were woken up by people coming late and shouting and by the sound of the church's bell right outside. They reimbursed our breakfast to make up for it. I get that it is not their fault but still the hotel is quite expensive an really not quite at all. The drain in the shower was not working at all so the bathroom got filled up with water.
The breakfast was good and with a variety of choice. The staff was absolutely nice and helpful.

The beds were quite low and worn out, and there was a very old tv. Also being at the Grote Markt means there is noise 24/7. I heard music and people talking all night long.
Very central in Groningen, lovely old building with a lot of charm.
