Good location, friendly non invading staff.
About as good as you can expect for the price, but maybe updating the shower pressure by investing in a nicer shower head.

Very near to one of the most beautiful parks in the center. All the service stuff was very polite.
A large group of very drunk guys(Dutch) was allowed to enter into the room very late. They were making a lot of noise without any consideration of the rest of the roomates. As expected from drunk youngsters they were cursing a lot, and using a lot of dirty talk that might have offended the females present. On the top of it, they started a farting orchestra where the noiser the funnier.
“My tip: Is a very nice place with nice stuff and service. However, I guess that if they cannot control issues as the above with some rules or warnings , it is matter of luck to be able to sleep or not.”

What I really like in the hostel is that people were very nice and speak with others easily and so I can made new friends and even people who work at the hostel were really nice too.
What was not so good is that we can t stay in our dormitory during the day...
“My tip: I think that it could be a great idea to create a new room for everybody with a TV and a babyfoot or something like that ”

This is a convenient place for visiting Groningen and the area. The price is reasonable, the staff are very helpful. Our room was comfortable clean and quiet.
The only minus was that the coffee at breakfast time could be a lot stronger.
“My tip: The triple room can be booked for two or three persons, and is peaceful and plenty of space. ”

Very nice staff, I felt very welcome and was very impressed with the relationship with the restaurant downstairs where guests were allowed a dsicount
No major minus points, it's slightly away from the town centre, but other than that nothing to say.

The hostel is near the citycenter and has a nice Café. If you need to stay very cheap it's okay, otherwise wouldn't go there.
They didnt have any Wifi for now. There is only one pc which could be a real problem, because everyone wants to use it. At my stay (4days) I need to change the domitory second times.
