Location is really good and stuff was really kind. However, Restaurant’s music is too loud in the night. Bed is little bit dusty, so my eyes had problems.

My first capsule/pod experience. Very clean, safe, and nice staff. Bathroom was updated, clean, modern, and was simply amazing and fancy for a hostel. Loved that ppl had left a decent selection of shower products for others to use, as well as books. It was low season, with just a few ppl in the room, but for some reason they placed us all side by side. I suggest you ask to be placed away from others to not hear them banging their knees and feet on a shared wall throughout the night - and bring ear plugs. The room was quiet but you could still hear every tiny sound anyone made. With that said, I would definitely return again.

I really enjoyed my two night stay at this hostel. The team at reception were really helpful and friendly. The place opened in August 2024 to at least 4* hotel level. Great cafe and bar on ground floor. The location is very central in the old town and directly opposite Vets concert venue. Provides- Bedding Towel Soap/shower gel Keypad locker I had a great night's sleep in the very comfortable bed. The bathroom and shower rooms were to an excellent standard. I would fully recommend if in Groningen

Interessantes Konzept. Zum schlafen/übernachten eigentlich ideal. Man hat aber nur die Bar als Aufenthaltsraum am Abend. Die bäder sind sehr schön. Jede Dusche ist in einem abschließbaren Raum. Die Betten sind bequem.

Solo para dormir con bajo presupuesto.

Esperaba otro tipo de experiencia. Son muchas camas en un mismo espacio sin ninguna zona de esparcimiento. Es para dormir y ya. Ni una silla. Hay que tirarse en la alfombra si uno necesita estar un momento relajado o descansando. Particularmente la noche que estuve, llegó gente 3 am y se puso a hablar como si nada sin respetar las normas de silencio.

Es wäre schön, wenn die Türen der Zimmer leiser schließen würden. Wenn man ein Cocoon in dessen Nähe hat ist es sehr laut.

Ik vond de locatie prima. Bed en bed- en badinnen schoon. Handig in de kluis. Het was niet stil, jonge mensen komen in de nacht binnen en praten ongemerkt toch. Niet luid, maar voor ons toch hinderlijk.
