The only complaints would be that the showers are very small (mine leaked heavily) and the carpets need a serious steam cleaning. Otherwise all linens and surfaces where clean and very friendly staff. Oh and a very nice breakfest.

Needs updating, far from town center

Staff were professional and polite. Hotel is dated, I'm not sure how it has 4 stars, maybe they were achieved in the '80s, it certainly isn't a 4* hotel now. Hotel is in an area with very few restaurants nearby, or any other facilities other than the MartiniPlaza event space. A walk into town would be 40 mins, so if you are planning on going into Groningen, I'd recommend a Taxi

The location was not great for walkers/pedestrians coming from the train station or airport to the Big Market SQ. or the Fish market sq. (Central Business Dist.) Also, there was alot of messy construction outside the front entrance, by the highway/freeway. Great hotel though, especially if you drive or are in GRN for a conference/event at the Martini Arena.
