nothing - keep it on

The Boutique Hotel De Doelen is a classic townhouse in the middle of the Grote Markt in Groningen. In the old house, which is in a well-kept condition, you can explore the center of Groningen directly. From here you have everything in the immediate vicinity within a short walking distance. The breakfast was excellent and was completely sufficient in all respects and we really enjoyed it! Right next to the hotel is the well-known cafe/restaurant/bar De Drie Gezusters, Groningen. This is also part of the hotel, very practical when things get more entertaining If we come to Groningen, we would love to come back here!

Hotel is a bit worn down, however it is an old building so its understandable. It didnt bother us.

The staff was extremely friendly, we were met with a cup of tea, very friendly frontdesk and free upgrade. This is not the first time we stay and I can definately say they have improved since last time.

My view from the window was not that good, but for me that was no problem. Minibar/fridge would be nice addition.

Location and the historical building was perfect. Staff was very friendly, especially Jony at the reception. . Coffee machine in the lobby was very nice. Loved the bathtub in my room. Also the complimentary drink tokens were a nice surprise. I fully recommend this hotel.

It was a bit noisy until 02 on the market square due to some drunk students. However, this are things to cope with in a student town…

Cozy and very friendly staff. I love History so this place felt perfect.

Crazily big pillows that are not good for your neck

Very central, yet quite hotel with lovely old interior.

Getting the suitcases up the stairs at the entry and the expensive parking options.

Right in the middle of everything.

Since it's located in the middle of the city and is surrounded by bars, it's to be expected to be a bit noisy, especially if you stay there during the weekend. Since our window faced directly towards the Grote Markt, we had a lot of noise during the night, which kept us awake for a long time. A better window insulation would probably help dramatically.

We booked the room with the sauna, which was absolutely lovely.

I didn't like that my initial room wasn't clean. A bit of a letdown after traveling hours. Only to find out that the bathroom isn't cleaned properly. As well as finding out that some gunk from a previous visitor was in the bathroom. I have pictures of it but I'll spare the details. A more thorough cleaning and treatment of fungus in bathroom is advisable. Other than that everything was perfect.

I was very impressed with the staff working that day. The initial room was not up to standards and the 2nd room wasn't clean. The 3rd and final room was better as the facilities made up for some mishaps. A nice upgrade in the end. I sadly have forgotten the name of the lady at the reception but she took great care of me. She really saved the day and made my stay pleasant in the end despite a rough start. If it weren't for her efforts to accommodate me the tone of this review would have been significantly less merciful. Great customer service! The location is superb and the building and interior were interesting. I would consider visiting again.

There was not a soap in the room, maybe we should ask.

Atmosphere, the design and the comfort was good. The hall was perfect.

Perfect position, in Grote Markt, the main square of the city. One minute by walk from Forum, the most famous attraction of the city. 15 minutes by walk from the main station as well. In the sourroundings there's supermarkets, shops, cafés. Alice, the hotel receptionist, was very kind and helpful. Reccomended it!

Bathroom in my room awkwardly laid out - tiny quibble

Amazing having tea and coffee available for free in hallway as you came in Excellent breakfast with great variety Very welcoming, helpful staff Perfect location

Unfortunately, there was mold in the bathroom, as the fan did not work. What did work, though, was the AC of the neighboring building right outside the window and the noise was sometimes very irritating. (I guess there is nothing you can do about it except for wearing earplugs.) Quite unfortunate is also placing the bed right in front of the window, so you can't open it more than like 15 centimeters and ventilate the room.

Beautiful hotel, in an excellent location, and very friendly, and helpful staff.

A beautiful old hotel (the oldest in Groningen, the receptionist said) right on the Great Market. Lovely wood-paneled lounge, friendly attentive staff. Super bathtub with hot water at high pressure. There are signs of wear and tear, and they are planning to renovate. I hope they don’t ruin its old character.
