Asgard Hotel

I stayed at the Asgard Hotel for one night in April 2012. I picked it mostly due to location, but the positive reviews on TripAdvisor did not hurt. The hotel is in a good location — near the center of the city, yet on a side street that is quieter than many others in the area. The hotel seems to be rather new; everything looked very modern and barely used. My room was very clean and quite comfortable. The bathroom featured a heated floor and a very nice selection of toiletries (from the Rituals brand). The drawback to the bathroom was the fact that the shower door seemed to be poorly designed, because as soon as I turned the shower on, the water began leaking out and flooding the floor. Luckily there were plenty of towels to sop up the mess. There was a hot water kettle in the room, along with a variety of teas, hot chocolate mix and instant coffee (along with sugar and creamer). The two employees I met upon check-​in and check-​out were very friendly and had practically perfect English (not surprising in the Netherlands). The price for the room did not include breakfast (that would have been an extra 100 Euros), and seemed a tad high for this area. However, I slept very well, and would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone needed a place to stay in the center of Groningen.
