Hotel-Restaurant Oostergoo

This is a lovely hotel. The oldest in the region I believe. Our rooms overlooked the water and to see the silvery moon at night was a real treat. The rooms are large and at the front have great views. Grou is a very pretty town and there are nice walks from the hotel. The restaurant is top notch, and the staff really professional and friendly.

Really lovely staff, but clearly very junior. Long time to get our menus and then order drinks. Kitchen clearly very busy, took two hours to get our mains. Chicken was dry, rest of our meal was great. Wine selection good. Great ambience. Perhaps just an off night service wise. Would highly recommend otherwise.

We moored up here for the night in our boat, excellent food and great service.

This hotel is a historic place in the small city of Grou in the province of Friesland, known for it's aquatic activities during the warm season. It exudes old world charm, the location is perfect next to the lake, with their own jetty. I stayed in the hotel during the slow season, in actual fact: I was the only guest in the hotel which gave me a strange desolate impression. I enjoyed a Christmas meal with members of my family that live near by. The meal was adequate, but not excellent. The service on the contrary was more than adequate, very friendly and efficient. I stayed in a single room that was quite small, but that was not an important issue. I looked out over the lake. There are no elevators in the hotel, so those with lots of luggage should be prepared to climb stairs. The hotel has a reputation to serve a good breakfast, but since I was the only guest, this breakfast was very uninteresting. Enough bread for 10 people, a hard boiled egg, a bowl of yoghurt with watermelon and some cold cuts. No great selection of teas. The breakfast room looks out over the lake and is pleasant, I surely would want to come back in the high season, I am sure it will be a completely different experience.

Sincere gratitude to the owners and staff for a nice stay at the hotel at the end of November. I had a single room on the first floor. The stairs are really not easy especially if you climb or get down with a suitcase but I was lucky and a young man helped me get the suitcase upstairs and downstairs it is always easier. The room is clean, bedlinen and towels were good. What I really appreciated was that I could regulate the radiator as I needed. I was happy with the lamps available though one of them was a bit old and failed to get on sometimes. I wish there were a stool for the suitcase. Still it was a good stay, I appreciated quietness.

We stayed here for one night as we like the location and the restaurant. We chose the room with a view out to the water with a tiny balcony. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy. The bed was a miniature double bed and offered no support whatsoever. The pillows the same. All in all, the room looked a bit tired. We don't know what the other rooms are like. Dinner was delicious and perfect, breakfast, too which is served in a room on the first floor with a lovely view onto the water.

Even combination of historical building, you can hear your neighbors breathing, literally, and nearby church nearly killed me and I would give normally much less. I can't everything is clean, room small, but comfortable, everything normal. But stuff and kitchen, they killed it all. Perfect cuisine supported by smiling and helpful stuff and breakfast on the terrace by water. Always again.

we had a short 2 day stay for a family wedding and were delighted we managed to get into the Hotel which is in the heart of the town, right on the marina front and a delightful, if a little old school, hotel. excellent service, very friendly helpful staff and a breakfast that will see you right for the day ahead.
