The Schimmelpenninck Huys is an elegant hotel with a special character. The hotel is located in the Centre of Groningen. There is a limited number of (15) parking places in the Short Pepper Street opposite the hotel (in advance). We had a lovely room, but because it was located on the street side, it was room at night. The curtains... More

We just stayed here -- spending one night on a "special price" invitation. Consequently, we were not expecting to get the best room in the hotel but we did find it curious that we had to walk through the hotel-owned candy store to reach the steep stairs to climb to our room. The room was average and the bed was... More

I stayed this week in Schimmelpenninck Huys Hotel and it didn't live up to expectations. The room was small, but I knew that upfront and that was ok. What wasn't ok was: 1) the mattras had seen better days, it was soft and sloping and very uncomfortable, 2) the bathroom/toilet has no door and 3) the hotel needs a sprucing... More

This is just a nice hotel in the middle of everything. I don't have much to add on previous comments. Did not try the restaurant, so can't comment on that. We had a room on the third floor, which was nice enough, but there is no elevator and the stairs are pretty steep. No problem for us, but for elderly... More

We stayed here for the weekend for the Assen TT race. The circuit is 20 minutes away. Hotel is right in the centre of Groningen which is a student town so plenty of bars, restaurants etc within walking distance. Room was very large with a big bathroom, clean and tidy. Very nice. Staff were very good too. The only downside... More

We stayed here on a Saturday night in early September. It's an older hotel located smack dab in the centre of Groningen, no more than a few hundreds metres away from the train station, the central square and everything else you would want to see in this charming town. It's more than a hotel really. It's a complex, or a... More

Well the hotel looked very nicely done up inside the lobby and courtyard and restaurant areas. The rooms were a disappointment. Ours was very small overlooking the courtyard restaurant. Not so great as you can hear the diners late into the evening. They provide earplugs so they know this is a problem. The main problem was the bed. Very uncomfortable.... More

Very close to station and high street. I stayed in a room which was slightly detached from the main building and accessed through a courtyard and up some steep steps. Room had a nice balcony area and was pleasantly bright and airy. The bathroom was spacious and modern but the bedroom in comparison was a little dated and cramped. The... More

Booked a Culinair weekend in Groningen starting in this hotel, the staff is very nice and the rooms are not big but nice and clean. The culinair weekend is a part to discover the innercity of Groningen, you start in your hotel/Restaurant 1 with an Amuse & aperitif then go to the next Restaurant (2) for an Advanced starter with...
