Breakfast staff weren't particularly helpful.The room was very small. the bored look on some of the faces of the girls behind the bar.There was no lift and the stairs are very steep to our room. But we were able to change to a room lower down. We didn't have warm water.Our room overlooked the back street which is a main thoroughfare to the train/bus station. At night it was extremely noisy so that I only got about 2 hours sleep from about 5am onwards. If you wanted to sit in the courtyard it was unpleasant because of the cigarette smoke. small room, no help with luggage. Street noise was a problem between 2am and 6am. Double-glazed windows might help. Breakfast was expensive for the quality and variety on offer.Warm room. Needed to open the window, which made it very noisy. Found the price for breakfast (€15,50) too steap, so had none.The stairs in the hotel are very steep and there is not a lift to all rooms. The rooms are not air-conditioned and can be very hot. This means opening the windows which lets in all the noise made by those coming out of clubs in the early and not so early hours (2am - 5am). Over three nights we had very little sleep.

Food & Drink

After a period of drastic renovation and development Het Schimmelpenninck Huys has opened a seafood restaurant, in addition to its French á la carte restaurant “Classique”. Right next to the garden of the historical main building, situated in the former “Jagershuis”, chef de cuisine Carlos Jansen lays the emphasis on the sea instead of the land. The kitchen guarantees market-fresh, top-quality products, culinary creativity in cooking and a choice of dishes. A successful lunch or dinner in de Parelvisser does not solely depend on the chef de cuisine, his creations and the ambience, but also on the attention that the guests receive from their host. Regarding the interior of de Parelvisser it was decided to opt for a playful, yet classical design of marble and cherry-wood. The guest has a direct view of the open kitchen where the dishes are being prepared.

Hotel information details

The rich history of this patrician's house, as recorded in the city's archeological archives, begins with its foundation around. A.D. 1100. It is one of the ten most important historical monuments of Groningen.

The Schimmelpennick Huys has been host to a wide variety of individuals throughout the centuries, from soldiers of the 80-year war to squatters of the 20th century! Numbered amongst its more prominent residents are the French count Jean Baptista du Monceau, Lieutenant General of the Bataafse army (which expelled Napolean's forces), the city prosecutor Lambert Sijlman with his English wife Lady Elisabeth Shotte, and the city dentist, the German Dr. Joseph Otte.
The last major building works were carried out in 1723 under Lambert Sijlman's supervision. The Louise XVI-style Baroque room in the rear of the house dates to this time. The house takes its name from Jan Rutger Schimmelpennick, a counsel-of-state during the time of the Bataafse Republic. He, along with three fellow-revolutionaries, held secret meetings here. They were held in the Baroque room. The ceiling of this room is truly impressive with its exuberant decoration. In the centre are symbols adopted from the French Revolution. From the four corners, portraits of the leaders of the Revolution look down at guests in silent witness to these long gone days of danger and heroism.

There are many ways to discover the city: on foot, for instance, by going on a city walk or by going on a boat tour through the canals of Groningen. Of course, you can also discover its culture and history yourself by taking one of our (free) hotel bikes. Outside the city, you can enjoy the abundance of nature and peace that Groningen to offer. The inner city offers great shopping possibilities for “shopaholics”. During the summer, you can enjoy a relaxing time on one of the pleasant patios.
