Martini Hotel

Groningen


The city's oldest hotel has been in the business since 1871, with vintage fittings and fixtures to prove it – check out the glass-walled elevator, majestic bar and restaurant Weeva cooking up old-world Groningen specialities like feisty Groningen bloedworst (black pudding). Rooms feel dated but are excellent value. The lavish breakfast buffet costs an extra €12.50 per person.
