Esperienza breve
Esperienza tutto sommato positiva, stanza silenziosa, nota dolente i cuscini quadrati e rigidi, inadatti a chi soffre di cervicale. Un phon sarebbe stato gradito. Ottimo il profumo dei prodotti da toilette.

University accommodation
Brought my daughter to study at Groningen, she’s staying for the year at the social Hub. The hotel is Fantastic, clean and the staff are polite and can’t do enough for you. My daughter feels safe and is very happy to have chosen to stay here. Customer satisfaction is their major priority, well done to them all and keep up the good work.

Cercano al centro, alejado de la estación central
Ubicado entre la zona céntrica y una más residencial, es un lugar perfecto para visitar Groningen, sobre todo en bicicleta ya que no está cerca de la estación central. Se intuye que la intención del establecimiento es que los visitantes se mezclen con los locales en espacios creados para ello tales como salas de juegos, reuniones y gimnasio, aunque sinceramente no vi que funcionase, tal vez debido a la temporada estival. La habitación era muy agradable, moderna, con ventanas grandes que te conectan con la calle.

Ich hatte ein schönes modernes Zimmer im 7. Stockwerk mit schönem Blick über die Dächer von groningen.sehr freundliches und hilfreiches Personal. Das Hotel ist vom Bahnhof sehr gut per Bus erreichbar (am Krankenhaus umcg). Sehr praktische Lage.

Zu klein
Das Zimmer war super klein, daher ungemütlich, ein Bad wie auf einem Boot, 1 min geduscht, alles nass. Pures Chaos beim Frühstück, keine Teller, Tassen mehr und es wurden einige Lebensmittel in der halben Stunde wo wir frühstücken waren, nicht mehr aufgefüllt, obwohl das Frühstück noch 1,5h ging. Leider werden wir als Paar dieses Hotel so nicht mehr nutzen.

Hostel, abgenutzt und selten jemand an der Rezepti
Preis zu hoch für Hostel, sah beim ersten Blick „cool“ aus aber wird Zeit für paar Sachen austauschen - etwas abgenutzt…
Aufzug kaputt und am 2. Tag noch nicht repariert.
Oft niemanden zu finden in der Rezeption.
