The hotel offers well-designed and rather hip rooms that are stunning and soundproof, although the AC unit can be noisy. The service is professional, with exceptional customer care, but there are some areas for improvement like removing used items promptly. The location is excellent for sightseeing in Groningen, with modern interiors and great soundproofing. The dining experience is tasty, although lacking some variety in pastries and juice. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor room and service issues to consider.

Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms were spacious with a large bathroom, and the morning breakfast was a cut above the rest. The French balconies provided a great view over the bustling main square, though the AC unit was a bit noisy. The soundproof rooms added to a peaceful stay.

The hotel offers a kind of Japanese-inspired, minimalistic design in the rooms, which were very comfortable and extremely clean. While the lack of a separated area for the bath and shower might be a drawback, bringing your own hairdryer is recommended for a better experience overall.

The dining experience was satisfactory overall, but some improvements could be made, especially with the breakfast options. The scrambled eggs were a bit tasteless, and a greater variety of fresh pastries and natural juice would have enhanced the experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, though a bit tight, were well-designed, practical, and very comfortable, plus the market's side location was convenient. The service, especially from Jelle, was super friendly and top-notch. The hotel's central location made sightseeing easy, though the hotplate fat at the dispensing bar was a minor inconvenience.
