Everything was amazing, the staff is so nice and polite and always ready to help. The hotel is in prime location, on the main square within walking distance from everything (station included). The parking at the Forum (for both cars and bikes) is literally 2 mins away. You can always order room service from their restaurant, and they offer a welcome drink. Coffee, tea and water with lemon are always available in the lounge free of charge. Their lounge is amazing. The price was great, the rooms big, great heating and room service. There is luggage deposit and they help you if you have many luggage (as I did). I would totally recommend and for sure come back.

This hotel is fantastic. It's located in the main square of Groningen, we were a bit scared of the sounds during the night but the room has double window and we didn't hear anything, even though we had a room facing the square. The receptionist was very friendly, the room was clean and spacious.

The only little thing I could say is that the shower had a fixed shower handle. I don't wash my hair every time I shower that's what this was a the little thing I could say about it. The rest was fantastic. We will come back.

The Boutique Hotel De Doelen is a classic townhouse in the middle of the Grote Markt in Groningen. In the old house, which is in a well-kept condition, you can explore the center of Groningen directly. From here you have everything in the immediate vicinity within a short walking distance. The breakfast was excellent and was completely sufficient in all respects and we really enjoyed it! Right next to the hotel is the well-known cafe/restaurant/bar De Drie Gezusters, Groningen. This is also part of the hotel, very practical when things get more entertaining If we come to Groningen, we would love to come back here!

nothing - keep it on

Excellent center-of-town location, very friendly accommodating staff - will stay at hotel again if given the opportunity. Little things made the difference - friendly reception and staff, clean room (with welcoming note), complimentary drinks, access to coffee and tea, a warm fireplace (even in July!) and frankly good value for money, meant we had a very pleasant stay.

Overall, the hotel might look a bit "dated"; however, we rather experienced it as cosy & comfortable and the staff's positive attitude more than made up for any detracting aspects.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the beautiful sitting room with the wonderful breakfast and ability to order drinks or food in such a warm and beautiful surrounding with a view of the Martinitoren. The location was amazing. Bathroom was very large and functional. Beds were simple but comfortable. Hallways were elegant and well decorated. Sitting room was a special place, like a library with books and a beautiful fire in the fireplace.

We could only see an interior work yard from our window, but we didn't spend time in our room

I was very impressed with the staff working that day. The initial room was not up to standards and the 2nd room wasn't clean. The 3rd and final room was better as the facilities made up for some mishaps. A nice upgrade in the end. I sadly have forgotten the name of the lady at the reception but she took great care of me. She really saved the day and made my stay pleasant in the end despite a rough start. If it weren't for her efforts to accommodate me the tone of this review would have been significantly less merciful. Great customer service! The location is superb and the building and interior were interesting. I would consider visiting again.

I didn't like that my initial room wasn't clean. A bit of a letdown after traveling hours. Only to find out that the bathroom isn't cleaned properly. As well as finding out that some gunk from a previous visitor was in the bathroom. I have pictures of it but I'll spare the details. A more thorough cleaning and treatment of fungus in bathroom is advisable. Other than that everything was perfect.

Beautiful hotel, in an excellent location, and very friendly, and helpful staff.

Unfortunately, there was mold in the bathroom, as the fan did not work. What did work, though, was the AC of the neighboring building right outside the window and the noise was sometimes very irritating. (I guess there is nothing you can do about it except for wearing earplugs.) Quite unfortunate is also placing the bed right in front of the window, so you can't open it more than like 15 centimeters and ventilate the room.

Old charm hotel with fantastic location on the Groote Markt Square. Friendly staff with easy online check-in and out. Received welcoming dring vouchers at Twee Gezuiters which was a lovely gesture., Comfortable bed with a very spacious room and bathroom. Only slither of Groote Mark View but then we were not here for the view. Lovely reception area / restaurant with cozy fireplace. Internet was very slow during peak hours and used my own data.

What did I not like? Staff is very welcoming and friendly. The building is just amazing with a lot of original features, the room was a good size for a single, and also had a spacious bathroom. It's perfectly located on the Grote Markt with lots of restaurants and all the sights and shops nearby. Comfy bed. Great shower (and also a bath). Good breakfast with lots of options. And all of this for a really good price.

It was a little bit warm in the room, and the window didn't open. But nonetheless I slept really well. And they said they have plans to install A/C next year. So it won't be a problem any more then.

The front desk staff was super helpful – top notch. The hotel is nicely decorated and eerily beautiful (in a good way), feels like you are going back in time. The location is right at the heart of Groningen, yet the room is very silent and pleasurable, and they supplied the room with quality amenities. Would love to come back here again someday soon!

Would've been better if they had an easier access so that those who brought many luggage could bring them easier..
