very nice hotel

excellent location in the city centre; beautiful historic building and interior; particularly recommendable in summer because of wonderful courtyard/patio; we had a very nice room on third floor with a huge terrasse overlooking the courtyard; the room was simple but spacious and spotless clean; spacious bathroom with bath and shower; excellent breakfast

incredibly steep stairs leading to third floor (we had room 51) that require sporty climbing to get to the room (only feasible with light luggage !!); if you choose a twin bed room, be aware that beds are on rolls and drift apart with the slightest movement; very noisy on Friday and Saturday night (young people shouting in the streets - you can hear them even with the windows closed in winter !)

Disappointing night at Hotel Schimmelpenninck Huys

Good service in the restaurant.

Room was spotty and had only windows to a ventilation shaft/emergency escape stairway with no sunlight visible, very claustrophobic room. The décor, though, was fancy. The room was twin even though we asked for a double. Breakfast was of poor quality, nothing fresh was available (vegetables, fruit etc.), bread served on the table was still frozen from inside. When checking out the receptionist tried to ‘accidentally’ charge 50 euro extra on my card. Luckily I noticed before pushing ok on the PIN machine.

luxury and quiet in the heart of groningen

nice classic hotel. some rooms have a view on the nice garden in the central square of the hotel. cool (semi-)antique interior. gold and marble in the bathroom give you the feeling of luxury. friendly personnel. quiet. cozy

Beautiful ambiance, but breakfast can be improved.

The environment, the location in Groningen. The ambiance and the garden in the middle. Furthermore, the furnishment in the rooms: very romantic.

Unclarity at breakfast (what to get where/where to sit) and not enough bread, glasses and spoons. Service when having lunch in the garden can get better too (long waiting, putting the bill on roomnumber).

I don't come again

some effort but not overlooked the most important part - a quiet night of sleep!

noisy compressor all night and hot water pipes in the floor which heat up the room without a proper window to open up all the way.

Very unique hotel, not the usual chrome and plastic!

No parking but it is arranged close by and stairways to rooms are very steep and narrow which with luggage makes things exciting!

charming, friendly, unique and useful location!!!

charming public spaces and clean comfortable rooms, light, open and individual each one (i've stayed before). excellent staff, good food esp. the breakfasts (fresh baked on premises breads etc.) it's one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in (biz traveller) because it feels homier than the usual on the road cookie cutter hotels!!!

paint on walls a bit in need of a refresh (in the halls and bedrooms mostly) but it's not really a big deal since everything you care about is clean and so nice.

Great hotel with friendly staff

The staff were wonderful, the room beautiful and clean, the lobby great with free Internet access and available computers. We got a room with an extra bed for a child and the room was very large. The staff helped greatly by calling the airport to resolve a luggage delay.

The beds were kind of lumpy/creaky. The breakfast was too expensive so we never tried it.

ReviewsHotel Schimmelpenninck Huys

The Hotel was very centrally located and was very clean, and staff were mostly friendly.

To get to the room in which I was staying you had to walk through a kitchen to enter a very steep stairwell up to the room. Breakfast which was around ¤15 extra was quite ordinary and basic considering the cost involved. Also being a solo guest I was refused entry to eat in the main restaurant in the evening because they said it was fully booked, even though it was completely emtpy at the time I entered at around 7pm.

I can honestly say this was one of the best hotels i have stayed in, in the Netherlands in terms of all round price, cleanliness and service. We were upgraded to a suite (never asked for it)cos they knew it was our anniversary. Location is great also.

It is a restored old building so it has all the charms of such a place. Bathroom was modern and nice. It is it a great location within Groningen that makes walking to the train station, shopping dining and social spots all quite easy. The restaurants in and around the hotel are quite nice and a pleasure to visit.

It is a restored old building and that always has its downside. No elevator near my room and the stairs were narrow and steep so if you have any large bags that is a hassle.

Excellent service from friendly and obliging staff. really good position in the heart of the the old town.

We were not warned about the steep stairs in the main building and had to upgrade my mother's room so that she could gain access at a lower level reached by a lift. She is 85 years old and found the ascent frightening to say the least.

The The setting of the hotel is amazing. It is a very old one, located at the heart of the town, and it has very nice and authentic looks. The two restaurants are very nice, and the common parts high standard. Beautiful and quiet. Large bathrooms with shower and bathtube, both practical and comfortable. The executive/honeymoon suite is amazing!

Part of the stafff does not really speak english. Standard double beds are rather small for two people. The hotel is quite old, and this shows sometimes, e.g. regarding the windows, or the humidity. Overall, a little bit expensive for the level of comfort (rooms rather small except for the suites and despite large bathrooms, beds not comfortable enough...)

Goede service, geweldig eten, goede sfeer, prima locatie,

Beetje gedateerde ambiance. Onze kamer was bleek zich te bevinden in een schuurachtig bouwsel aan de binnenplaats, op z'n best knus te noemen, maar eerlijk gezegd was de kamer wel erg klein en zeer gehorig. Het bed, een twijfelaar, was ronduit slecht. De parkeerinfo op de website klopt niet.

Sfeervol hotel centraal gelegen om Groningen te ontdekken

Lokatie Sfeer van het hotel Vriendelijk geholpen

Misschien een idee om bij het ontbijt buffet een bordje te plaatsen waarop staat dat je even het kamernummer moet melden en dat je vervolgens zelf gebruik mag maken van het buffet.
