I read the reviews from previous guests of this hotel and I think the management took care to correct the most criticized ones, because I think this hotel certainly deserves a rating higher than 9. Friendly staff, comfortable beds and pillows. Delicious coffee, very good restaurant, warm pool. The place is beautiful, with lots of nature and offers the best of what the Netherlands has to offer: boat trips (sloep) and bike rides. You can rent a bike and take a beautiful ride around the lake. We were lucky to have perfect spring weather and the experience was memorable.

Nothing

I had a wonderful experience at Flonk Hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The breakfast was fantastic—rich, diverse, and truly worth it, with options for everyone. The view of the lake from the hotel was stunning, and all the facilities were top-notch, including the bike I rented to explore the area. The location is beautiful, surrounded by greenery and the lake, and while it's a bit away from the city center, it's only a 10-15 minute bike ride away. The Wi-Fi was excellent, which allowed me to work on my laptop without any issues. The hotel's restaurant offered delicious food, and the lobby was cozy, making me feel safe and warm throughout my stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay with great amenities!

The only downside is that this hotel might not be ideal for those looking to be in the heart of the city. However, taxis were easily accessible, so it wasn’t a big issue. I hope for better prices in the future, but apart from that, my stay was great!

What I liked most about this hotel—and what made me give it a high rating, besides the beauty of the location, the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the hotel, and its symbolic value—was the thoughtful provision of daily essentials (a towel, tea, coffee, and a cup) placed at the room entrance when the “Do Not Disturb” sign is hung on the door.

The worst part was the air conditioning — it was difficult to sleep because the AC didn’t cool the room sufficiently.

The hotel is very nice. I liked that there is a pool and I liked that they have a shuttle service. Employees are very nice and helpful. The facilities like rent a bike and free towels and bathrobe for the pool is excellent. The breakfast is very good, with really a lot of choices.

The rooms could be improved to back up the 4 stars rating of the hotel. For example a mini fridge, more than 1 coffee per person, ice machines on the floors. Iron in the rooms. These are ideas. What I did not like was that the shuttle bus does not really go on schedule, so we missed our connection at the station. Other than that every thing was great.

Awesome location next to lakes and a large nature preservation area with extensive running and cycling paths! If you're active, this is the place to stay in Groningen. Our room was large and had a beautiful view of the lakes. Breakfast and lunch were quite good and served in a very nice hall.

On the first evening of our stay some insect bit me while outdoors, on a vein in my head caising mild but annoyingswelling. I've asked the front desk staff that worked the shift at 1:00am if they had in the hotel's first aid kit one of these ointments that treat such bites and they said they did not and assured me "you'll be fine"... I think that for a hotel so close to nature it would have been necessary to have such products in their first aid kits.

It all was fine except the distance from the train station no transport had to find a bus or had to get a taxi and still had to walk a long way not vey good coming all the way from the Uk. It is ok for younger people but for elderly people not that good .your shuttle service is great but also should be able to pickup people coming from afar. The breakfast service is excellent no complaints

The distance between the town and getting to the hotel in the morning no shuttle bus affable till 2 and non on the Monday at all

Good location if you like it quiet. The upgraded room had a very nice lake view, was big enough and came with a nespresso machine and a kettle, 3 tea bags and 4 coffee capsules, and 2 paper cups daily. 1 armchair, a desk and office chair. Big TV screen with lots of channels and Radio stations offered. Bath has tub and shower tray, hairdryer and shower gel plus shampoo. Bed is king size.

Unfortunately, the bed was much too soft and saggy for our taste. And the windows do not open. There was only 1 armchair, which we found strange for a double room.

The room was an average size with a lovely view of a lake and greenery. The bed was comfortable, the breakfast was rich and tasty. The lounge had a wonderful Christmas atmosphere thanks to the decorations. A large car park is available in front of the hotel.

The hotel presents itself as green, which actually wasn´t quite true. We didn´t want to waste the towels, so we put the sign for the cleaning ladies on the door handle, but when we came in the evening, there was a package with fresh laundry in front of the locked door. This repeated 3 times even if we asked the receptionist to tell the cleaning ladies and he promised to do so. By the time we left we had 4 sets of towels, which I consider a waste even if we didn´t use them.

A beautiful hotel for both private and business visitors, with free parking available at all times. The surroundings is peaceful, green with lake and the staff is very helpful. The location is ideal, offering a swimming pool, and it serves as a great base for exploring the cultural city of Groningen and its surroundings. Don’t forget to visit Bourtange. Overall, I enjoy staying at Flonk Hotel, as it has a welcoming, home-like atmosphere.

Very friendly and helpful staff, good restaurant, good breakfast, beautiful location (by the lake). Rooms are a bit Spartan, but you have all you need, and a very good bathroom. The pool (small, but OK for laps) is a nice addition. You can rent boats. Lots of parking space.

Not much, really. As I wrote above, the rooms are quite simple, but they have all basic things. A couple of glasses and cups (made of glass or ceramic, not plastic) would be nice.
