“Convenient location for the business traveler”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2011

I stayed here in January 2011. The hotel is located in front of the University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG), 5 minutes walk from the city centre, and about a 15 minute walk from the railway station.
Check-in and check-out was efficient. The hotel reception area is somewhat impersonal, the bar was closed (too) early. My room was a large corner room, not luxurious but with everything you need. Good desk to work. Nice view over the city. Excellent breakfast. Value for money price (EUR 90 including breakfast).

“good breakfast and location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2010

The NH Hotel is opposite the medical centre, where you can park your car in the garage.
Staff is okay, a bit reserved, nice rooms with shower. The breakfast is really good. In 5 minutes you walk to the city center.
Ask for a room on the city-side; the other side can be noisy because of the ambulances.
A pity that the 24 hour food card is small and if you ask something you find out that a fwe things from that card they don't have.
Staff is reserved, not really friendly,

“Basic but good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2010

person found this review helpful

A business Hotel with a nice, Dutch Breakfast, friendly service and appropriate rooms. Located Vis-à-Vis the University Medical Centre Groningen, the city of Groningen is reachable in a 3-5 minutes walk. To visit the city is really recommended. There are some very cosy restaurants directly at the town canal. The price –performance ration of the Hotel is fine.

“Good hotel for a business visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2010

I stayed at this hotel in the last week of March. Room was clean and big. Breakfast good. Staff helpful and friendly. Overall value for money. Only drawback was that the safe in my room got out of order - the staff could not get it repaired till the time I left which included one complete working day

“no TV, no discount”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I've been staying at this hotel about twice a year over the last years and although it's not a luxury hotel it was comfortable and not too far from the center. Also the price was o.k. at €85,-. But I stayed here for the last time. Here's why:
- the price went up to €112,- (€125,- for the renovated 'luxury' rooms that look like hospital rooms with terrible green and white colors. They also look smaller but that might be an optical illusion.). That's only €6,- less then the far better and far better located NH de Ville hotel.
- reservation directly at the hotel is not possible anymore. Instead you're diverted to a 'call-centre'...very impersonal.
- When we arrived back at our room at night our TV was not working. Because we were allready in bed we asked if they fix it the next day while we were gone. I had to ask again the next day but then the TV was replaced. Still we were without a TV one day and I expected a discount for that. But in this hotel you don't get discounts for a room with a broken TV...
- the new 'luxury' rooms look awful. Bright green and white, all plastic. It reminded us of a hospital room. It also seemed smaller then the regular rooms. The flatscreen on the photo on the website is twice as big as the actual TV in the room.
- the regular rooms are in need of a renovation though. Cracks in the wall and in the bathroom sink. Old (broken) TV. Worn down carpet...
- there is no free internet in the hotel which I consider a bit out of touch with the times...

I thought that the crisis would make hotels more flexibel in their prices. I stayed at 5 star hotels in Amsterdam for €140,-. Asking €125,- for this hotel in this town is overpricing.
