Gezellig appartement op een top lokatie!

Niks, ms wat kleine dingen bijv de entree is ‘s avond erg donker, een losse deurklink en we hebben niet uit kunnen vogelen hoe we de verwarming uit konden draaien in de huiskamer (maar dat kan natuurlijk aan ons liggen).

Lage, geräumiges Wohnzimmer, ausreichend Teelichter, Tee, Kaffee

Nicht richtig sauber, quietschende Türen, kein separater Schlafplatz im Wohnzimmer (nur 1 Schlafraum für alle), sehr kleines Bad mit fehlender Fußmatte

Sehr geräumiges und sehr nett und modern eingerichtetes Studio mit 2 Schlafzimmern, einem Wohnzimmer und einer Küche. Sehr gute Lage im Zentrum. Unser Studio war jenes direkt unter dem Dach, dadurch wunderbare Blicke aus den Fenstern über die Dächer von Groningen, alle Kirchtürme im Blick. Schlüssel im Schlüsseltresor beim Straßeneingang. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Nicht einfach zu bewältigen: der Stiegenaufgang. Die 3 Treppen sind steil. (Dafür ist man dann aber auch wunderbar über den Dächern.) Zweitens: Offenbar keine Möglichkeit, das Gepäck zu deponieren, wenn man früher ankommt oder später abreisen will. Drittens: Alle Nachrichten von der Vermieterin nur auf Holländisch. Kleinigkeiten bedürfen einer Reparatur, z.B. 2 Türklinken, Fensterdichtungen.

Ruimte van de appartement.

Badkamer aan de kleine kant. Bed en breakfast maar breakfast niet inbegrepen in de prijs. Vraag je wat het kost, wordt antwoord gegeven maar er is geen ontbijt op zondag. Dus wel bijzonder om dit te noemen bed & BREAKFAST. Geen enkele personeel gezien, gehoord.

two bedrooms

smell was musty, too much scent

Spacious apartment with a complete kitchen, in a relatively good location. It was very clean.

Despite some positive things (see above), there were several issues that counterbalanced the possibility for a good stay in this property, namely: -1- Unprofessional manager: tried to advance the check-out time (clearly stated at 11:00 in Booking.com) without any valid explanation and in an unfriendly manner. -2- Inappropriate behavior of staff: We were waiting for a phone call to resolve an issue (see point 5 below). Instead, this person knocked on our door and since we did not answer immediately, entered with her own key. This incident happened at 22:30. -3- Very steep & dangerous staircase (we were on the second floor): Not suitable for elderly, disabled, or children. -4- Wine local on the ground floor: with chatting/noises/parties till midnight -5- Hot water was interrupted on the first night, but later resumed after complaining. Staff behaved inappropriately (see point 2 above) -6- At times, a very foul odor coming from the bathroom sewer. -7- No reception, no separate place for a breakfast, no possibility to have breakfast if you did not ask in advance. It is called “Bed & Breakfast”, but this term is not correct, should be simply called “Apartments”. -8- Proximity of the place to a red-light district (not nice if you have children)

The one-bedroom apartment on the first floor was lovely - really comfortable with high quality furnishings, excellent shower and good kitchen area. The bed was really comfortable and the apartment had everything we needed for a one-week stay in Groningen.. It was 5 minutes' walk from the railway station and a couple of minutes' walk in to the city centre. Groningen is a fantastic city with lots of great museums, restaurants and things to see - and for running fans, a Parkrun!

The one-bedroom apartment was above a wine bar. The bar and the apartment are run by completely separate people, but the music and the sound of people talking from the bar came up through the floor of the apartment. The bar is open until 23:00 hours on Thursday night and until midnight on Friday and Saturday night. The music was on until the last people left at 1.30 am on Friday night! It was a real shame, as the people who run the apartments cannot control this and I really loved the apartment - I just wasn't a fan of the noise underneath. The two-bedroom apartments upstairs will be absolutely fine and free from noise, I think.
