The location is good - near the city center. You can easily explore the fun part of the city and enjoy the food there. I requested a quiet room. The room is large, clean and comfortable. The staff at the front desk was very nice and friendly.

“The best view from a hotel in Groningen”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 5 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Nothing. What we didn't like was that most of the restaurants in the city don't have the menu in English, but that's not the hotel's fault
Everything! We asked for views from the rooms and we had the best views: right opposite the Martini tower and the grote Markt. Both rooms (one next to the other as we asked for) were big, but one of them was huge, and the bathroom as well! And you might think they were noisy, but they are so well insulated that with the double window (each of them) and double glass you don't hear a thing! The decoration was charming in the whole place, they treated it with all care in inspiration and quality. The beds are comfortable and the furniture brand new. The breakfast was good and the staff was nice and helpful.

Breakfast was sumptuous and staff were very friendly and polite ! Management was kind enough and accomodative by charging for only 2 nights as against 3 nights booked as we were one day late due to some Transit visa issues which delayed our departure from India.

Two separate beds, but that's just me being picky. And they're still attached, but just with a niche between them.
Everything! Lovely bathroom, good beds, nice and quiet and I love the building structure with all the nooks and crannies.

“Excellent hotel!”

- • Stayed 1 night

We had a magical stay at de Doelen. At check-in, we were told that we were being given a room upgrade. I am always sceptical of such claims, but lo and behold - the room was absolutely enormous with a lovely sitting area and the biggest bed I have ever seen, and the bathroom had a large bath and its very own sauna! Needless to say we were delighted. No view to speak of from the windows and little natural light, but that also meant no noise from the square at night - worked for us; it was quiet and we had a wonderful night's sleep. Our room had a door which opened onto a little courtyard. There was nothing there but it was being painted during our visit. It could become a wonderful addition to the room with some plants, who knows. The breakfast was excellent. It had everything we could have possibly asked for, including freshly pressed orange juice. Everything was fresh and the buffet was refilled constantly. We loved the decor as well. Most importantly, all the staff were warm and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. It is so rare to find a classic hotel of this quality that is not pompous. Well done.. We would love stay here again on a longer visit to Groningen.
