The hotel is not near the train station but quite a walking distance from the old town. There’s a bus stop nearby if you’re too lazy to walk, but it’s about 2km to the Groningen Train Station. We tried to walk in the morning to take pictures and enjoy the scenery, and it’s not that far (but can be the case when you have to lug your large luggage).
There’s no free champagne given, unlike the other branches, but the receptionist was friendly and offered tickets as a replacement, which we could claim either tea, coffee, or beer.
It’s great to stay here even when it’s not as near to the train station as the Eindhoven one.
Superb hotel in an ideal location. The staff were friendly and the rooms were spotless. The included breakfast was excellent. We will definitely stay again next time we visit Groningen.
