Mercure City Groningen Martiniplaza Hotel

Mercure City Groningen Martiniplaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The people working there are friendly and helpful. We were a bit late for breakfast and the lady working there very kindly made up some food for us. The breakfast is good and varied. It's a bit off the beaten track being a 25 or so minute walk to the centre although there is a bus nearby that runs to town every 20 minutes. We had a very enjoyable stay."
