Great
Our balcony was outstanding! More spacious than the actual room! And the hanging chairs were sooo comfortable! We decided not to eat breakfast at the hotel because the chairs were too tight.

Fun travel themed hotel with everything you need. Was quiet when we stayed (winter) but they warn it can get noisy with the bars around the hotel in season. Windows have hard shutters with acoustic foam on to counter this, plus ensure a good blackout! Would go back - better than other hotels I’ve stayed at in Groningen.
