Simplon Hostel, hotel in Groningen

Simplon Hostel offers basic accommodation including a courtyard garden. It is just 1 km away from the lively Groningen centre city.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found the location to be extremely convenient, as it was situated near a bus stop, making transportation around the area hassle-free. The bed provided in the dormitory was comfortable, allowing for a good night's rest. However, it's worth noting that there was some noise at night, particularly on Saturday night. Nevertheless, considering the lively atmosphere on weekends, this was reasonable. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel to others, especially for its convenient location and comfortable accommodations.

The young student population attending the 17th-century University of Groningen complements the historic architecture and famous Dutch canals.

Groninger Museum has one of the finest modern art exhibitions in Northern Europe and Oosterpoort plays host to cultural events from around the world. Students play a role in defining modern Groningen, giving this city a reputation for a vibrant nightlife.

    Groningen is a beautiful city , I would prefer it to Amsterdam . It is a nice size, there's loads to see and do. The Groninger Museum always has terrific exhibitions and the building itself is amazing. The Ship Museum is excellent also . There is a lovely ambience with many cosy cafes and bars and great eateries such as the Drei Gezusters. We had great takeaway food at the Vis Markt , the Kibbeling is very tasty and the portions everywhere are generous. As it is a University city , there is a lively student atmosphere, We walked everywhere as everything is accessible. It is a wonderful spot for a city break.

    Groningen is a lovely univeristy town easily reached by train. Taking a walk through the center to visit the almshouses (there is a good guidebook for that) and their gardens was a pleasant way to get to know the city. A big plus is that there is no mass tourism as in Amsterdam, mostly day trippers from the area or just across the river from Germany.

    I would definitely recommend Groningen as a place to visit. It is a little gem. It’s easily reached from Schipol airport by a direct train that takes just over 2 hours. I only discovered it as I found Dutch family that live here. Definitely recommend as a change from Amsterdam. The town has plenty of shops and restaurants, museums and a canal. Everything is accessible by foot or local buses. Just be aware of the cyclists.

    Groningen is a very lovely smaller town with a nice old town surrounded by water canals. In the city I spent most of my time at a conference at the university, whose campus itself is very interesting and I had the opportunity to see the particle accelerator there as part of the excursion - certainly very interesting for those interested in (bio)physics and (radio)medicine. In my free time I walked through the old town and around the canals, which was very nice and romantic. The same could be said of the walking path from the city to the university area, which led through beautiful, almost wild countryside along horse paddocks, one arm of the river, among meadows, etc. The town also offers great gourmet experiences. I was only able to spend a few days in the city, so unfortunately I didn't have a chance to explore the surrounding area.

    There is nothing not to like about the Best Western Groningen Centre for lodging at this price point. The location is extremely convenient to the station and the center of town, the rooms are comfortable, quiet and well-lit, and the on-demand coffee/cappuccino maker is a friend in times of need. Shifting the bar into the lobby has made this service more appealing because of the daylight and foot traffic that liven it up. All in all, a solid choice at an affordable price. I've tried other places but always end up returning here.

    “UP SIDE DOWN MOTEL” The fotos are tricky on the website. it is ONLY 2 floors , first and second floor and each floor has 18 room, the whole building is for Apartments only , so the real rating is 2 stars hotel. The reception is a small counter inside the restaurant, NO LOBBY without facilities , swimming pools, etc. The reception is in floor 3 and the rooms in floors 1,2 only and few in ground floor next to the street. Location is very bad

    As a retuning customer I was not surprised at the very friendly and efficient check in. A few minutes walk from the city centre,10 minutes from the train station Views from our room was stunning. Very comfortable, basic room ,but Spotless. Excellent shower . Delicious buffet breakfast, very friendly, helpful staff. So easy to hire bikes and book canal trip. While my son is studying in Groningen, this will always be my hotel.

    Very nice hotel, situated in a quiet area, on a lake. The swimming pool is not too small, you can take a relaxing walk around the lake. The restaurant is quite good if you stick to local dishes (don’t try Thai food, it has nothing to do with the original). Good service, friendly staff. The location is far from the city center, but if you are in Groningen for a vacation, this is a very good option.

    The hotel is located in the heart of the city - only 1 min walk to University of Groningen and 5 min walk from the Aa Kerk. The room is bright and clean, you have anything you need to make a cup of coffee or tea in your room, if you run out of something, hotel staff will always help you. Another gratitude to the staff for their help and open-mindness. I will definitely stay here one more time!

    The location of the hotel is great. Everything within the city centre is within walking distance and the hotel is very accessible by public transport. The room was nice and pretty spacious for a city hotel; the bathroom was very modern. Breakfast was great! Airco was very much needed because it was 30+C outside, but it worked wonders! This is not always the case in the Netherlands.

    The biggest plus of this hotel is its location, it's 5 minutes away from all the shops and restaurants of Groningen. It also offers relatively cheap garage parking, a couple of minutes away from the hotel - this is especially important as this part of the city is not accessible by car. The staff was really nice. The hotel is very modern and definitely a nice place to stay.

    The location is great, good atmosphere with many young people around. The room was quite big, new bathroom, breakfast was really good /good choice. I used the P+R Kardinge from where the bus takes 6 minutes to the station, situated 400 m away from the hotel. City centre was a 5-minutes-walk away, a big choice of different restaurants nearby.
