Hotel Corps de Garde

This hotel was established on a canal in 1634 to house the town guards at one of the entrances to the city. It ia a charming hotel with some truly amazing rooms. While staying in the hotel last September, we were given the corner room on the 2nd floor at the front - it was huge and very old world. The food in the restaurant is first-rate. This hotel offers a great value for the price.

Hotel Corps de Garde is a terrific hotel in Groningen located in the city centre area right along the canal. The hotel is a converted historic building with an original classic exterior and a modern, updated interior. We had to follow a bit of a maze of hallways and stairways to reach our room. We were in room 15, which was a fairly good sized room and a bit quirky with regards to the bathroom. The sink was in the sleeping area and there was a separate toilet stall and another separate shower stall, both with frosted glass doors. It was a little different. The staff was very helpful and welcoming and even recommended a great place for authentic dutch food for dinner. (Roezemoles). Breakfast is served in a large, comfortable cafe/lounge area. There are a few choices for breakfast, appropriately named The Big Breakfast and The Small Breakfast. The location of the hotel is ideal for visiting Groningen, which is a very pleasant city in which to walk around. It is situated right on the canal that encircles the city centre. The Grote Markt and the Centrum area are only a 5-10 minute walk away. And just across the street from the hotel is the cleanest, brightest underground parkade that I have ever seen. Groningen is a very lovely city to visit and we look forward to spending time there again, when we definitely will stay at the Hotel Corps de Garde.

Very well run historic boutique hotel. attentive service, tastefull interior, central location, competitive rates, generous breakfast. All you need ist there, Unnecessary chi-chi is skipped. We will return, thanks....
