We stayed at the Schimmelpenninck Huys just for one night. We met friendly staff and got a small but clean room. The breakfast is just gorgeous. Part of the hotel look kind of out of time: The balustrade in the inner courtyard is in a terrible condition and was in some parts inaccessible.

I stayed here several times for work in 2009-2010. The staff were always friendly and as other reviewers have noted, the fresh bread at breakfast was one of the highlights. Always clean, there was plenty of hot water, and even during an especially cold trip (-8C one January) the heating was good. My main gripes were: 1. the beds that... More

I stayed in a double room (room No.40) for 2 nights with my husband. It was very close to the parking, of which they give you a discount ticket for 24 hours (so then it will be 16 euro). The reception is open for 24 hours, and there are nice but affordable restaurant, a patisserie, and a bar in the... More

Good location, nice old-style interior. However sometimes missing 'the touch'. Beware of the difference in rooms. Room 1 to 12 are in the reception area, and in particular room 4 (bruidal suite) is gorgeous with high ceilings, chandeliers and a 2x2m jacuzzi. However, filling the jacuzzi takes about 1 hour since the water is not that fast. And the other... More

We booked this hotel last minute at the hotel website. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is at a central location in town. The rooms on the street side can be a bit noisy and some the furniture and telephone information are past their due date (9 digit phone numbers were changed to 10 digits in 1995!).... More

Once again we stayed at this hotel for our annual trip to the Dutch TT and stopping here puts us well in reach of the race circuit in Assen. I remember thinking this time last year when we left the hotel on our motorcycle as we were being waved off by some of the hotel staff " i'll be back"... More

Stayed here a few nights a week for 5 or 6 months, and I miss it. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms are great. the beds are amazing, the bathrooms are pure luxury and because of the breakfast I musty have gained at least 5 kilo's. It was awesome! Whenever I'm back, I will stay there without... More

We stayed at the Schimmelpenninckhuis when we visited Groningen for a weekendtrip. The hotel turned out to be a bit more luxurous than expected, but in a nice and friendly way. In general, the service was very good. We even got some reduction on the nearest parking (Rademarkt). I agree with other reviewers about the breakfast. It was very complete... More

This hotel is right in the center of Groningen and therefore very close to all the highlights of this nice city. I chose the cheapest room and it was quite small but clean and nice. The whole hotel is pretty old-style. Free Wifi is available and my room had a (however old) TV. The best thing however was the breakfast.... More

The hotel is very central to everything and it's quite charming. The building is very old and the lobby area is very comfortable. The breakfast room was at the back of a bakery, so you got all the fresh bread that the baker was making right then, in addition to omelets, fruits, cheese, and the other typical European breakfast items....
