this hostel is "value for money". there is nothing cheaper in Groningen, so basically you have no other choice, but stay here. Overall, it is not so bad. Mostly students stay here. Wi-fi is available for free. Showers and toilets are OK. Beds themselves are OK, but bed sheets are really bad and they cost extra, so it is better... More

There are three dorms in total and I stayed in dorm 2. Dorm 2 had 10 comfortable bunkbeds. Toilets are opposite the dorms and showers are downstairs, all functional and clean. You can drink a beer in the cafe downstairs and have a proper breakfast for €5. On the one side of the dorm is a window, although there's a... More

They gave me a room I did not book and charged me more. When I pointed out that the room was not what I had confirmed, they just rudely said "This room is better, its bigger." No apologies.
