Simplon Hostel Groningen

I loved the location right next to the venue; I ended up being able to hang out with the artists who were playing that night! · Room could have smelt better but that’s what you get when you have many bodies together and dirty socks Some of the guests were loud but the area itself is not. I will be back next year!

It's not a bad place to stay; but it's not great either. They speak good English at the reception, there is a nice courtyard area just outside. A little bit run down on the interior; limited common space, very limited facilities for the shower and toilets. Not super far from the centrum; but still a good walk. In a commercial neighborhood; lots of nice places to eat. The breakfast buffet is pretty good for 9 euros! Overall, a good place to stay if you're a student, but otherwise prepare for a worse-than-average-experience.

I stayed there from 2 February until 8 February with some of my friends. We rendered the apartment and I can say it was quite lovely. What I wanted to really point out is the staff, they were all so lovely and so ready to help whenever. ( especially one of the guys Eus they called him if I am not mistaken, I have asked him for some stuff for more than 5-6 time in a minute and he offered to help for every single one of them with a big smile in his face) I would gladly come back every single time I end up in Groningen.

Excellent, friendly staff. Bed was okay but would be better with a curtain for privacy. Good shower and toilet facilities. Excellent outdoor, kitchen, and lobby spaces 10/10. Safe space with friendly people.everyone respected the 11pm-7am quiet rule.

Very basic structure located at walking distance from Groningen Noord station. Rooms are very basic, maybe a little noisy considering the wooden structure of the bunk beds, but are okay if you plan to spend a single night there. On a very positive note, the adjacent restaurant serves very well prepared meals with a 20% discount for the hotel's guests.

We stayed at Simplon with a big group of 20 people, and it worked out great! The service was very friendly and likeable. Of course it is a Hostel and therefore nothing fancy, but it was perfect for our weekend trip. Also the small lounge and breakfast area are super cozy. Moreover, they were so nice to provide a fully vegan breakfast for the group upon our request! And they did great, the breakfast was nice. Very considerate and kind, we had a blast.

I spent 12 nights and it was generally okay. Not far from the city center. The important part was I really felt safe there and it’s a great place for those on a budget. Bus stop is close by for easy shuttle to the train station with luggage. Most nights were so cold for summer weather! The sink and showers had warm water but not the toilets upstairs. It was uncomfortable to have to go downstairs everyday to use the showers as the ones upstairs were damaged at the time I was there. It’s a bit noisy on the weekends Saturday and Sunday nights (when it’s full to capacity) but it is a hostel so it’s expected.

They are very friendly, the environment was amazingly calm and clean.
