A bit dark due to the relatively small windows and lamps that provide too little light. Bathroom oppressively small. Otherwise a beautiful apartment.

The penthouse apartment was spectacular. It was clean, fully equipped and with a phenomenal 180 degree view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Super accommodation in one of the tallest water towers in the Netherlands. Very clean and beautifully decorated. We arrived a little earlier than planned and this was absolutely no problem with check-in! It is within walking distance of the city center, but you can also catch the bus at the bus stop across the street. The supermarket is also around the corner. I would definitely come back.

Beautiful location with a view over the city. The rooms are nice and well-equipped. However, it is noisy; we could hear the neighbors walking through the room in the middle of the night. There was also a power strip/socket sticking out of the wall in the bathroom. It was just hanging loose with the cords exposed. Not tidy and not safe. The water in the shower was lukewarm. Check-in was easy. The room was very clean.

Beautiful location with very nice, spacious apartments. Very nicely done. Plus, a stunning view of beautiful Groningen. In short, highly recommended!

Wonderful experience. Conveniently close to Groningen city center, but perhaps even better to stay inside and enjoy the beautiful apartment!
