Hotel Watertoren West

Pros: Great view, the apartment was clean neat and tastefully decorated. Great value for money!

Quirky hotel with stunning views

Pros: We were in a second floor queen apartment. The views were stunning and it had everything you'd expect in an aparthotel. Open plan living room, dining area and kitchen and separate bedroom and shower room. Only potential issue is privacy, as there is only a glass door between the living area and bedroom and the same between bedroom and shower. Thankfully the toilet is separate! It was only a 10 minute walk to the city centre and there's a Jumbo supermarket over the road for supplies. The staff also facilitated a late checkout for us on the last day when I wasn't feeling well, which was greatly appreciated.

Pros: Amazing unique hotel with a lot of history. Staff very friendly and helpful

The perfect place to get to know the city and have a great time

Pros: Interesting hotel concept and a great opportunity to get to know the city through culture, starting from this hotel. Great location. Everything you need is in the room. We could also cook in our own kitchen. The top floor Sky Lounge has a view of the city.

Cons: A bit cold floor without carpets.

A historic Groningen gem!

Pros: Beautifully converted watertower with spacious and stylish apartments. It felt really specially being so high up but in a historic building and not a soulless hotel tower! Also the staff couldn’t have been more lovely - the lady with the short hair kindly gave us a tour of the events space right at the top of the building which was amazing to see.

Cons: I would have given this a 10 if it was located a bit more centrally (however it’s in a nice residentially area about 25 mins walk from the railway station). Also the bathroom was a bit underwhelming given how enormous the apartment is!

City Break in Groningen

Pros: Fab historic building in an amazing city. Room 52 (2nd floor) Queen room. Great shower, comfy bed, kitchen has all mod cons too. Seperate toilet from ensuite. Big TV. Fab city apartment.

Industrial heritage hotel

Pros: Unusual hotel with lovely penthouse. Loved views and heated floors.Spacious apartment with grand kitchen+dining space+leisure room all in one Very tiny toilet and mini mini shower. There are a lot of potential for improve the design of penthouse to make it more elegant. At present very masculine snd industrial concept. Sandra - receptionist was very helpful.Ares us safe Parking for a fee. Reliable wifi.

Cons: There wad a coffee bar on 8 th floor which did not work during our stay. Booking.com sent us misleading nessage that there will be no one to meet us and that we have to check online. Check in online was stresful and did not work properly but luckily reception girl Sandra wrote us that she will be there to check us in. I think it is very important for unique hotels like Watertorren to have receptionist on site and Sandra is perfect hostess.

Lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful apartment

Pros: Fabulous building and fabulous views of the city a place to enjoy relaxing after a busy day exploring

Cons: We were told the wrong apartment number and wrong floor so were unable to access the flat with the key card and when ringing the WhatsApp number given 4 times nobody answered so it was frustrating. But all turned out well in the end

Wonderful building

Pros: Lovely use of historical building. Easy walk to centre .

Cons: Parking on street limited to 2 hours at night till 9pm so need to refill meter. . Bedroom upstairs with king bed had shower but toilet downstairs . Steep in middle of night walking down stairs.

Pleasant stay with some small issues

Pros: The apartment was very spacious and well equipped. We had lovely views from the windows. It was a comfortable space for our 4 night stay. Staff were pleasant. The location was pretty good- about 15 minutes walk to the centre and there is a supermarket close by.

Cons: My main issues were the bedroom layout. The bed was pushed against a wall with no locker on either side for water/phone/books etc. Only one side had a plug. The shower room light switch was behind the headboard so it turned on randomly if you moved in the bed. There is no door to the shower room and only a blind in the shower window so the bedroom was not dark in the morning- I had to buy an eye mask. I assumed there would be some type of cleaning service but there was no change of our bins, no towels or linen change in the 4 days. We wouldn't expect it every day but assumed there would be some housekeeping over a longer stay.
