Reviews for Hampshire Hotel - City Groningen
Review 1:there were no towels in my bathroom, no roomservice because they were bussy, i had to wait 30 minutes for my Sandwich because they had no time, no proper shampoo,
Review 2:the location was fine
Review 3:We booked kings or double bed but get twin bed, we not been informed about that before we come to hotel. Beds have two mattresses one over each other which are to soft and sliding.
Review 4:Excellent position, friendly stuff
Review 5:The hotel is comfortable but in need of a refit. Everything works but is a little tired. A little worn. A word of warning: the free coffee should be avoided !!!
Review 6:The location is perfect. The staff were very helpful and courteous.
Review 7:Stains in the carpet everywhere, elevator could use some cleaning and paint. Small TV. No electricity near bed to charge your phone. Rooms are very outdated and need complete refurbishment. No fresh orange juice at breakfast while it costs 16 euro.
Review 8:Centrally located in the heart of Groningen, modern entry. Quiet room, nice soft beds. Fast free WiFi. Nice reception staff and very friendly breakfast ladies.
Review 9:Noises from other rooms and corridor easily heard, combined with noisy people in the corridor at night/early morning.
Review 10:Location, friendly staff, good breakfast, clean hotel, nice atmosphere.
Review 11:Absolutely uncomfortable too soft bed with 2 large matraces beneath and 1 thin matrace on the top. They kept separating all night and I had a terrible back ache for the next 2 days. Didn't get much sleep.
Review 12:Lovely business style hotel, great location just in the center, private spa area, delicious breakfast, nice and helpful personell
Review 13:I would like to have a refrigerator and a safe in the room. Some short time parking facilities should be provided in front of the hotel.
Review 14:The location was good near the centre of Groningen and it's modern in a new building.
Review 15:Too pricy for the value received. Probably due to the MotoGP in Assent, which was the reason for us staying there.
Review 16:Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location in the city. Good breakfast and overall a good experience.
Review 17:As is typical of European hotels, there was insufficient storage space for my clothes (no dresser, only one shelf, small closet). The hallway smelled like sewage every morning until the cleaning staff sprayed perfume, which covered the smell through the day and evening.
Review 18:The front desk staff were very helpful and always friendly. My room at the back of the hotel was very quiet. Also the air conditioning worked well, so that I could be cool enough to sleep comfortably at night. The location was perfect for short walks to the shopping district and the main tourist attractions.
Review 19:The chambermaid, called out in Dutch to clean my room, waking me. I had no idea what this meant and she just opened the door. and it was only 10am ,I wasnt due to check out until 12pm.
Review 20:Free tea and coffee, friendly and courteous service.
Review 21:Good hotel near town centre with secure, covered parking about 200 metres away. Staff were friendly and helpful. En suite room was good and clean. There is a coffee machine on each floor as well. Breakfast buffet was very good.
Review 22:The carpet looked a little worse for wear, which was ok if you are just walking around on it, but not so nice if you were stretching/doing yoga on it. Nothing a towel couldn't solve though. The bed was a bit too soft for my bad back. Finally, the windows are a bit oddly placed - I had a long strip high up and a shorter strip close to the floor, but none in the middle which meant that I effectively had a wall view.
Review 23:The location was excellent - just a 5 min walk from the heart of town. Loved the facilities - the sauna can be booked for private use and it's a lot larger than it looks - a steam room, a dry sauna, and recliners to relax away. There was a good spread at breakfast.
Review 24:Some noise from the street bars when the window was open at night, but nothing to worry a heavy sleeper. View from the window was a brick wall, but not unusual in city centre hotels.
Review 25:Central location, friendly staff, good breakfast buffet that was available til 11.30 on sat & sun. Large comfy and clean room.
Review 26:At the arrival, we met not the greatest staff at the reception. Only one couple were at the reception when we came in and no attention was paid to us, even though we came to the desk and tried to make at least an eye-contact. Eventually, we asked straightforwardly if we couldn't get directions to their parking lot, as we had a reservation at the hotel with parking and now we had to leave the car illegally on the street with warning lights blinking. Even though the other couple were just filling in their contact info, the reception lady told us to wait until she's done completing check-in of that couple, to give us any answers. The guy at the reception was also unhelpful, as later none of them could point us to any Indonesian restaurant in the area - we couldn't believe it when we saw an Indonesian restaurant on the hotel's information sheet in the room, and the hotel was taking delivery orders for that place...
Review 27:Great location, very close to the center Very nice and delicious breakfast
Review 28:Bedrooms were a bit worn and past there best, the breakfast was poor and not worth the 16 euro.
Review 29:Location to the centre and restaurants, staff really friendly.
Review 30:Het hotel ademt geen sfeer, er zijn leukere en sfeervoller hotels in Groningen, eveneens op loopafstand van het centrum. En voor die prijs had het ontbijt er wel bij in mogen zitten!
Review 31:bedroom is clean
Review 32:They take full payment from your account plus 50 for ???? and call it pre authorisation, they take it again when you leave, they take about 2 weeks to put the pre authorisation back into your account
Review 33:The breakfasts were very expensive so I didn't have any. The decoration in the corridors is quite tired. The gym was quite limited.
Review 34:The hotel was comfortable and quite. It was easy to find from the train station.
Review 35:Pillows are too thick (sounds silly, but they are so thick, you could not comfortably lie down without having your head still propped up slightly); shower is fine but it is in a bathtub with a bit of a curved floor (you can actually feel the rising tub walls underfoot when you're standing taking a shower), essentially the shower is not level because of the tub floor.
Review 36:Location of hotel (just walking distance to city center and train station but a distance enough away to not be in the heart of too much noise and busyness; pleasant helpful staff; room location (on fifth floor, which has a balcony); overall a quiet and restful, professional, comfortable place to stay in Groningen
Review 37:No in house restaurant, although the restaurants which the hotel had agreements were very good.
Review 38:Friendly and efficient staff. Free wifi. Good location.
Review 39:The room was small - we asked for a crib for our baby, and there was not space left to open our suitcase.. Also the bathroom was small.
Review 40:very nice location. Two minutes from the city center (shopping/museum/Martini plaza). Free coffee and tea in the aisle
Review 41:There are three Hampshire hotels within a very short distance of each other in Groningen which can be confusing on the first night. Breakfast options are pretty basic but on par I think for the Netherlands.
Review 42:A clean hotel. Fairly basic facilities but it gets the job done.
Review 43:Airco was quite annoying until we found how to turn it off. Hotel parking was full, would have been good for receptionist to mention 2nd. parking option (opposite) at check-in.
Review 44:Excellent city location opposite casino & parking, perfect for one night stay. Dinner & bar options right outside & full breakfast was still available at 11:00 on Sunday morning. Prima!
Review 45:Modern hotel, first class room, superb breakfast, wifi. Very helpful staff. Secure parking in hotel's garage. Very close to Groningen center pedestrian zone.
Review 46:The bed seemed a little jaded.
Review 47:Breakfast was fab. Staff were very helpful and location was excellent. Bikes could be hired at hotel for €7 per day. Groningen train station is 10 mins walk.
Review 48:In front bedroom this time very poor sleep as the student cafe culture outside were going till nearly daybreak some mornings and with the laughing and shouting nearly impossible to sleep even with the double glazing. Was moved to a rear room for the last night and a good nights sleep (wouldn't have mattered as it rained that night and they all stayed away}
Review 49:Need to sign in to wifi frequently
Review 50:Staff went above and beyond to be helpful, going out of their way to give information, suggestions and unexpected support.
Review 51:bit far away from train station 10-15 mins walk. the view outside window is not good , even in 4/f , the view is blocked by the roof of the building . like staying in the rooms in basement . I booked 2 rooms there, one room with a bad smell ( like urine) when turn on the air conditioner, seem come from the carpet. but the other room is ok
Review 52:location is near the old market and lots of restaurants within 5 mins walk, breakfast include hot dishes eg beacon and fried eggs. staff is helpful. quite room but outside is not , so feel safe when go back to hotel at night . coffee and tea in the corridor .
Review 53:Parking is three blocks away and they don't tell you that there is one when you arrive, so your first reflex is to take the casino one in front which is very expensive. The rooms are not so clean (dirty carpet, smell humidity) giving you the impression that you don't want to leave your luggage on the floor !
