The best feature of the hotel is the ever helpful staff, always willing to expedite requests promptly.
The building itself is an historic army guard house given that in mind the rooms have been renovated to the point were they are spacious and comfortable
The windows could do with some double-glazing investment as the noise from the street is loud
They compensate for this with complimentary earplugs but personally I’d prefer double glazing….
As for the room, the bathroom is commodious and decent but without a shower door the floor gets a wet.
The extraction vent inside failed to work but there was no sign of mould yet.
The aircon didn’t seem to operate when I tested it but the radiators’ did come on in the morning.
The sofa in the room is simply too uncomfortable to sit on to watch TV and the plastic desk chair about the same.
The internet was free but kept dropping out to the point I would have complained if I would have paid for this service.

Breakfast is a continental affair which was fine for me with prompt service

Recently we stayed at the hotel. We had the "balkenkamer". The room itself wasn't that impressive, but is was oke. The staff is very helpfull and polite. Breakfast is lovely with very tasty bread and buns.

Although we only stayed one night, it was a charming visit. The room was spacious and beautifully renovated. The staff was extremely friendly. The buffet breakfast (€ 14,50 pp) was lovely with a large variety of local breads, cheeses, meats, yogurt, fruits and made-to-order bacon and eggs. The location couldn't be more convenient for walking to the busy center of town and the wonderful Groningen Museum. We found ample unpaid parking a 5-mintue walk away (over the canal). We were concerned when we saw the complimentary ear plugs, but our room (#11) was in the back, so we were not disturbed by the lively Saturday night student crowds. Our room also had a balcony with chairs. Had we stayed longer it would have been nice to sit with a glass of wine and watch the sun set over the city. The breakfast room/bar is extremely homey with lovely lighting and book shelves filled with anything and everything you would want to read. They also provide daily newspapers and a chess board. There is only one, very tiny, thing I would change and that is there should be a hair dryer provided in each bathroom. Then it would be perfect!!!! Great stay for your money!!!!!

Corps de Garde is a Boutique Hotel located in the city center of Groningen. Rooms (including bathroom) are very spacious, very elegantly decorated, and comfortable. Staff is very friendly and professional. I particularly liked the modern and unique design of the room.
