Hotel Corps de Garde

Had a lovely Sunday morning breakfast at Hotel Corps de Garde in Groningen. We didn’t stay overnight, but we were welcome to join for breakfast. The bistro is beautifully and tastefully decorated; stylish yet cozy. The breakfast was fresh and delicious: table service for coffee just how you like it, and your choice of a perfectly cooked egg (fried, scrambled, omelet, or eggs Benedict). Freshly baked rolls, a great selection of meats, cheese, and salmon, plus a buffet with yogurt, fruit, and granola. Super relaxed vibe and very friendly staff. All of this for just €21.50 - great value. Highly recommended for a perfect start to your day!

I stayed here in May 2025 for a few nights for business and had a great stay. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in town. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly!

I stayed here in April 2025 for four nights. I would certainly stay here again. Clean, comfortable snd convenient just five minutes walk from the Martini Tower and very close to the University. The best thing was the staff who were really welcoming and helpful.

Fiona was very understanding and communicative even before we arrived, which was late in the evening to ensure our check in went smoothly, which it did. I would say that, that in its self is evident of her superb customer service skills and when we finally did meet her in person she was warm and inviting. The area is very, very safe and our room overlooked the canal. The room was spotless and modern with touches of history, comfy beds, coffee, mini fridge with water. The stairs are unique and steep! Loved the hand written note welcoming us by name, that was a nice touch. We did not stay for breakfast but would definitely return to this hotel again! Thank you!

I stayed with my family for a couple of days and the experience was absolutely perfect. The rooms were really big, perfectly equipped, with lots of natural light, good views and lovely decoration. Breakfast was nice as well, a good diversity of salty-sweet options and tasty coffee served by the personnel when requested. One of my relatives needs a big wheelchair to move and accessibility was really good as well. The staff was really involved and friendly. Absolutely not a single bad thing to say about this hotel.

I booked this hotel because I had nice experience the 1st time when I was here, in Aug. But this time it was dissatisfying. Bathroom had impression of being dirty as grouting between the tiles was falling apart, radiator was rotted and glass doors were full of stains. After complaint it was cleaned, but the floor was cleaned with something very slippery, that stayed on the surface for few days, caution was needed to walk around. Bathroom still had uncomfortable feeling due tu grouting problem and rotted radiator. Room like this should not be rented. Location is great as well as the breakfast.

Great location. Clean, bright rooms. Staircase is the only small hitch. Fiona did a great job at the reception. Very welcoming place. A bit pricey though.

My husband and I stayed here from Texas. Absolutely wonderful experience. They wrote handwritten cards, escorted us to our room, and the breakfast was so classy. Staff was amazing and super friendly. Rooms are comfy and adorable. Some real Dutch hospitality. Thank you guys!

The Corps de Garde is an absolutely charming hotel in Groningen with some of the most helpful staff. Yes it has small negatives - the leg of a table in our room was broken, we had some trouble making international calls, and the bar closes at midnight. However, the pluses were really driven home when we went to Amsterdam for the next leg of our trip, stayed at a five-star Marriott, and found ourselves really missing our little Hotel Corps de Garde. As soon as you arrive, you are offered a complementary drink, and this is a great chance to meet the staff. Everyone with whom we dealt went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, and they definitely had the best suggestions on what to do and see in Groningen. They really knew the best local gems and were quite willing to share their knowledge. Their lounge is actually one of those gems, and we had a great time meeting the other visitors and guests. Oh, and be sure to ask for Bart's Goodnight Kiss.
