About this place Hotel/Bar The Happy Traveler

The Happy Traveler is a mainstream, gay-friendly hotel with a ground-floor bar at Kleine Kromme Elleboog 5 in central Groningen. It is not a gay venue. Hotel and bar run as one business, so the bar works as the lobby and a place for a drink in the evening. It rates 4.6 on Google from about 560 reviews. The street is in the heart of the old centre, a few minutes on foot from the Grote Markt and the Martinitoren. Groningen is a large student city with busy nightlife, and its small gay scene is also central and walkable. Expect noise from the streets nearby late on weekends.
