Lock in a great price for Hotel de Doelen – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

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.

Kristina, Germany

Basically everything else. Mainly the location, directly on the Grote Markt square. The cleanliness, the bathroom and the main vintage theme of the hotel, which made it readily classy.

Ahmed, Germany

This hotel is in a very central location and across the street from the tourist information. There is some construction going on close by, but it did not affect our stay. Our room was quiet and as described on the website. The breakfast was plentiful. The staff at the front desk was very friendly!

Reinhard, United States of America

Cute nicely furnished rooms in the center, comfy and calm

Falk, Germany

It was wonderful to be in a hotel in a grand old 18th century house right on the Grote Markt. Our room had its own sauna, a beautiful modern bathroom with spa bath, was beautifully furnished (leather arm chairs and an ornate fireplace). We were really able to appreciate the elegance of an old Nederlandic mansion that you see everywhere in the binnenstadts (old city centres). The downstairs lounge area was cosy if a little threadbare, but all in all, a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay.

One of our best sellers 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 cozy lounge where you are welcome for lunch, coffee and tea or a dinner.

The hotel offers a superb view on the city center 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' favorite part of Groningen, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

Mattress in my room was sagging on one side. Lighting was too dim (except the one in the bathroom). Rain shower head seemed to have some calcium deposits because the water didn't fall very evenly. Above all, staff weren't particularly welcoming.
Very clean, room temperature was perfect. Toilet and shower very spacious and clean. Lighting in the bathroom and shower water pressure were very good. Very central location, right on the main market square. Train station, supermarkets, shops and sites at hand.

Room was cold, toilet doors couldn't be closed entirely because of the saloon style and there was a gap that couldn't keep light/odors inside. There was lot of steps with no easy access for baby trolley. I couldn't imagine commuting with wheelchair in this hotel.
Atmosphere of the hotel reminded of old English ones. Rooms were light and cozy. Ceiling windows was great. Breakfast was really good

“Hotel with character in the heart of Groningen”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Single Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
No fridge, kettle or safe in the room. Although there is a lift, be aware that the entrance is up a steep flight of steps and, since it is an old building, there are several steps along the corridors.
It’s an old hotel with lots of character, right on the main square. The room was small but comfortable and cosy. The bathroom was just as big as the room and well equipped. Wifi works fine. Tea and coffee is available round the clock near the reception area. I had breakfast on one occasion, good buffet selection.

“Adequate, centrally located hotel.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • 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.

Can't think of anything bad about the hotel
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.

The shower could have done with some descaling.
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.

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!
