Schone kamer
It was very comfortable and cozy Thank u
It's a centric hotel, confortable and very nice decorated as preparing a trip. They also have a rooftop that I couldn't experieinced but seems to be amazing, only open from Thursday to Sunday.
Very cool hotel, the bar includes airplane seats and our view of the rooftop it was pretty cool to watch the sunrise over the city
Great neighborhood
프리한 스타일과 맛있는 음식...주변의 편의시설등이 맘에 들었어요. 다음에가도 이곳으로 예약 할거예요.
Sehr schöne und zentrale Unterkunft, aber schwer mit dem Auto zu erreichen! Restauration im Innenhof, von daher sehr lange, sehr laut in der KEI-Week! ;) Trotzdem absolut empfehlenswert!
It was perfect clean, quiet, quirky, super breakfasts
Prima geslapen, heerlijk schone stille kamer met uitstekende badkamer
Sehr schöne Inneneinrichtung im Stil ‚Flugreisen weltweit‘. Super gepflegt, sehr sauber, charmante Raumaufteilung, Ausstattung inkl. Bügelbrett und -Eisen und Toaster/Wasserkocher/Küchenzeile
If you want to go to sleep before 1am don’t stay here. The bar by the same name but operated by others keeps the music loud until midnight or 1am then you can listen to them clean up and put all the bottles away. Otherwise a nice clean hotel, know before you go!
Nice cosy location in Groningen city center. Perfect with option blinding windows for total dark room
The room we had was really nice, but a bit cramped. The patio was nice to relax on. Having the kitchen was nice to do some actual cooking for ourselves instead of having to eat out. The bathroom was quite small and dim (which was the only major downside) - and the mirror/light was rotated 90 degrees from what it should have been. Having a clothes washer to use was nice as well, but some instructions would have been nice since we weren't Dutch and are used to a different style
Quite good !
Funny and vivid environment. Great quality-price ratio.
Très bien Mais un peu bruyant au niveau de la terrasse
Nice place in a good location for food and bars
Very nice and cozy place in the heart of the city. Spacious rooms, amazing staff.
Very unique display and furniture! We really enjoyed our stay. Of course, comfortable stay due to clean room.
The good - I had a great price for a room with a balcony (the balcony was awesome). All but 1 of the wait staff were excellent. Location was perfect. The not so good. Breakfast, cheese old, bread loaf (yesterday's bread), coffee machine for breakfast - also not so good, paying a pretty good price for not so great food. Also the roof top deck that was raved about wasn't open for the two days I was there - no reason, just not open. I'd give it 3.6 stars - for me is a pretty good rating.
The room is big and has a big balcony. Love the design of the hotel and room. Staff are very nice and helpful. They use Rituals for shower and shampoo.
Sehr cooles Hotel MITTEN im Stadtzentrum mit sehr, sehr freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Mitarbeitenden. Leider funktionierten die Heizungen in der Nacht nicht, sodass es - gepaart mit leider undichten Balkontüren - nachts EXTREM kalt wurde. Auf Anfrage gab uns die Rezeption dankenswerterweise ein mobiles Heizgerät. Fazit: Im Sommer jederzeit gerne wieder, im Winter leider ein NoGo.
Sehr gute Lage, coole Atmosphäre, nette Mitarbeiter. Leider wurde es morgens ab 6 Uhr durch das Reininungspersonal sehr laut im Zimmer. Das Hotel ist recht hellhörig und es wurde viel mit den Türen geknallt, oder sehr laut vor den Zimmertüren geredet, sodass man davon geweckt wurde.
Oğlumuz üniversitede okuduğu için mezuniyet töreninde kalmıştık okula çok yakın olması bizim tercih sebebimiz oldu çok da mutluyduk bir beş yıldız beklentiniz olmasın ancak konumu temizliği personelin güler yüzü bence yeterli
Super Hotel, nettes Personal…alles topp!
Very nice and stylish Hotel
I'll definitely stay there if I go to Groningen again. Very good value, great location. Very comfortable
Wir waren mit sechs Mädels da. Und das Hotel ist einfach so toll gestaltet und hat ein wirklich besonderes Design. Alle Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich, die Zimmer geräumig und die Badezimmer groß. Bis 01:00 Uhr ist es nach hinten raus sehr laut, hat uns aber nicht gestört und es gibt Ohropax auf den Zimmern. Auch die gesellige Rooftopbar ist einen Besuch wert. Wir kommen in jedem Fall wieder ♥️
Very nice accomodation, not luxurious, but clean and sufficient. Great neighborhood!
Wat veroudert hotel. Matige service. Er zijn betere verblijven in Groningen te vinden.
Lovely small hotel. Smack dead in the city centre. Wonderfully styled with friendly staff. Rooms are a bit small
Hyggelig hotell, sentralt plassert. Fint dekorert rom med alt man trenger. Bra renhold. Godt lydisolert. Anbefales
Hotel ist verwinkelt und kreativ eingerichtet. Personal sehr nett. Dass das Waschbecken nicht im Badezimmer ist sondern im Schlafzimmer ist etwas ungewohnt.
Super leuke plek, geweldig sfeervol dakterras, personeel zeer vriendelijk
Very nice hotel and perfect location
Het enige wat we miste was een airco op de kamer.
Prima verblijf en leuke dag gehad in de stad Groningen.
Excellent hotel! Very charming and situated in a very nice area. Room had fridge, espresso machine, water boiler, tea, ironing board and so on. Roof bar and reception bar are super nice. Love it!
One of our favorite hotels. It has the friendliness of a hostel, but was designed like a hotel. The decor alone is worth the visit.
Gezellig en leuk ingericht hotel. Perfect voor een weekend in de stad.
Hotel was erg leuk dicht bij het centrum alles op loopafstand auto gemakkelijk parkeren in dichtstbijzijnde garage
Prima plek in de stad
Wirklich super
Een heerlijk hotel! Lekker in de binnenstad van Groningen. We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad.
WAR alles in Ordnung nur sehr laut draußen in den Gassen
Prima hotel in het gezellig drukke centrum van Groningen. Aardig en servicegericht personeel.
Besonderes Hotel mitten im Zentrum von Groningen. Dennoch ruhige Zimmer, die bestens eingerichtet sind. Leckeres Frühstück und viele Möglichkeiten drum herum. Sehr empfehlenswert !!!
A really nice place!
Prima locatie, kamer ok direct naast dakterrasbar. Kan veel overlast geven. Bed, badkamer ok. Prima overnachting.
Great location and nice staff. Rooms are unique and clean.
Goede locatie in het centrum, inrichting is leuk gedaan met reisattributen, biercafe naast de deur. Top!
It was in a great location. The staff was very friendly and the room was super clean.

Meget larm om natten fra bylivet men ok.
A lovely city hotel in the centre of Groningen. Excellent staff that are very helpful, e.g. for complex dietary wishes and other support.
Gezellig hotel. Goede service.
Meer dan we verwacht hadden. Nette kamer met kleine keuken en bafkamer en balkom. Mooie locatie in centrum van Stad
Uriges Hotel mit netter Dachterrasse. Wirklich tolles Personal!! Ab 00.30h war es merklich leiser ,:-) Der Happy Traveler ist empfehlenswert?
Top! Erg leuke inrichting. Fijne kamer
A wonderful place with amazing staff. I was already expecting a lot of noise in the inner yard and it was ok except that they started moving metal furniture and stuff outdoors etc. after 1am making extra noise which was completely unnecessary. I do not mind loud people outside but this was just not needed. Overall I enjoyed my stay a lot in this lovely hotel.
Prima hotel, hele leuke inrichting, prima personeel. Jammer dat het ontbijt pas vanaf 8:30 is. Ik kwam daardoor in tijdnood.
Gewoon prima locatie, goede bedden en mooie kamer.
Friendly staff, clean room, nice atmosphere
Leuk hotel midden in het leuke centrum van Groningen.
Wat een leuk hotel! De inrichting is zo origineel! Het personeel is zo vriendelijk en behulpzaam, er wordt heel hard gewerkt om het iedereen naar de zin te maken. Ik had een leuk ingerichte kamer, met zelfs een klein keukentje er in. En zeer schoon ook. Het hotel ligt midden in het centrum van Groningen, op 10 minuten lopen van het station. Het ontbijt was heerlijk, en zeer gevarieerd, evt. buiten op het terras te nuttigen. Als ik weer naar Groningen ga, logeer ik hier weer!
Ligt mooi centraal in groningen. Personeel zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Roof top erg leuk en relaxed. Als ik weer naar groningen ga, boek ik hier zeker. Ontbijt was ook lekker. Variatie genoeg.
Really friendly and helpful staff. Great area.. Rooms really good. Great roof top bar.
Leuke gezellige guesthouse. Vriendelijk personeel, zeker een aanrader. Midden in het centrum en op loopafstand van station.
Net hotel mooi gelegen in het centrum
Had a great weekend at The Happy Traveler! Cool and comfortable rooms. Very helpful and nice staf!
Vriendelijk personeel, mooie lokatie
A interesting place. Funky. But, our room had no wash basin. The hallway was also very noisy, the oitside was noisy too. Our mattresses were also not good enough.
Gastvrij, vriendelijk personeel. Goede locatie en leuke inrichting
We really liked the location and the staff were friendly and helpful. But we had three issues. First, the room was prepaid via Hotels.com however this did not register on the Guest House check in system. After showing the receipt, I was told not to worry, but at check out the file was not updated. It was really uncomfortable having to defend this again since we need to rush to make our train! But this was a minor nuisance in light of two other issues. First, our room faced a courtyard and drunken folks were still laughing it up loudly at 3am! We leaned out the window and asked the to quiet down in English and Dutch but they ignored us. Second, the heating was not easily adjusted and the room was way too warm. Most rooms therefore had their windows open. Bad for noise and especially bad for the climate. These were disappointments which we hope the Guest House will work on in the future.
