Hotels near ’t Nije Hemelrijk, Gasselte

We had a very enjoyable weekend at this hotel. Yes it’s very outdated and could do with a good clean-up but the positives far outweigh the negatives. Location is beautiful .... nice and quiet with great walking routes right at the back of the hotel. Parking was fairly tight but we discovered an overspill carpark at the back where the shed is and where you can lock up your bikes for the night. The rooms themselves are typical Fletcher style ..... blue carpet with brown furniture but nice and spacious. Very comfy clean beds with coffee and tea making facilities. Nice small balcony to open the door and let some air in. Took a while to find a hairdryer and still wonder why they have it hanging and wired up under the television. No fridge in the room. The bath was very welcoming when you see how small the swimming pool is ..... however I did wonder how an elderly person could climb up into the bath to take a shower seeing there were no slip mats on the surface ..... lethal for an older person or somebody with a disability. Breakfast area very spacious with plenty of available tables and as for the breakfast itself, it was excellent. Anything you wanted was laid out and the cook behind the counter was constantly making up fresh eggs and bacon. Reception staff were constantly busy but very friendly and helpful. Overall really enjoyed it.

We were here before, then the hotel was quite dated, now we had a renovated room that was fine, beds were good, the sanitary was good, as well as breakfast. However, some (building) comments: Firstly, the hang of the toilet roll. If you sit on the toilet, you can because it is almost undecent to you. The round table is very fun, but is not very functional because there is no place to set the laptop on. And ... to connect it, you need to pull the plug out of the squeeter lamb. I would like to mention these things because they can be taken into account in the rooms that need to be renovated, where there is a lot of pressure, because we had to move between the building workers and from our room. And why still firm floor covering (now clean, soon dirty again).

Nice, clean rooms, good parking infront of the hotel. Quite easy to find and in a good location. Comes with a resturant for supper and breakfast. (Not included in the price) Great service and kind staff. Would recommend if coming to Emmen. We have been there two times and they let us change location of the rooms so we were not next to the main road. The breakfast is nice and has alot of diffrent options. We did not try the resturant for supper. I would say it was quite nice. 8/10.

The hotel room (2nd floor) was good. New hotel and the rooms were tastefully furnished. The halls were also beautifully yellow colours. The bathroom was large with a beautiful indoor shower, but was very nice clothes. The room was very cool, the bathroom was very chill. The beds were really good, lovely sleeping. But the rooms are quite aware. The location is, of course, perfect! In the centre, in front of the entrance of the zoo. The hotel has a large (unexpensive) parking garage. We have not taken breakfast, € 16.50 € per person we really find too expensive for the amount we eat.

Horrible service. Unhelpful and quite frankly rude. I had emailed the hotel to say that we would be arriving after 11pm for check in. I received a polite reply that said, ” That is no problem”. I continued to keep the hotel informed va email once we left Amsterdam. They did not inform us that there was a fesival in thier town and that it would be difficult to get to the hotel. After driving around for an hour and asking several people, I phoned the Hotel directly. The man who I spoke too was the most unfriendly, unsympathetic and unhelpful person. He basically said that it would be impossible to get to the hotel and that he could not help us. When I pressed for more information, he suggested I park the car anywhere that I can find a place and walk to the hotel. When I asked how far away we were and how long it would take to to walk to the hotel, he laughed and said that it would take us all night. Very disappointing and disheartening when we had 2 rooms booked and paid 691 euros (345.50 euros per room; 1 comfort double and 1 comfort twin). We arrived approximately 15 minutes later (around 3am!). I explained that the service was terrible in getting there. They tried to blame it on all the drunk people at the festival when in fact, the service from the hotel was unsatisfactory. The rooms were comfortable and breakfast was good (at the restaurant across the street) but we were only there for a few hours. The service of the staff in the morning made up for the unacceptable, rude, unprofessional and unhelpful man from the night before. He should not be working in the tourism industry. Disappointingly, this was our first time staying at this hotel and it will be the last. Which is a shame as we like to support small, family run businesses. I do not recommend staying here during the weekend that we stayed in June. We were there for the MotoGP and will stay elsewhere next time. I suggest you do the same.

Very large hotel. Spacious room and bathroom with bath, separate shower and toiletries. Sliding door gives access to shared outdoor space (balcony). We had food in the bar and we really enjoyed it, reasonably priced. Pool table and dartboard in bar area but slightly tucked away. The pool and wellness facilities are free and really well maintained. Very clean and lots of choice: salt sauna, herb sauna, Finnish sauna, hamam, infrared sauna, foot baths and snow shower. Towels are provided and there are free lockers in the changing rooms. Changing rooms are not mixed. Enjoyed our stay.

We stayed in this modern hotel mid February for 2 nights. The Front Office as well as the rooms are located on the higher floors of this modern building in an outside area of the city center of Groningen. Service was very friendly, food was pricey but outstanding and worth every Euro! Don't miss the delicious risotto! Despite being near the highway, rooms are perfect isolated and well appointed with all amenities you need for a weekend away. Don't be afraid to take a good walk to the center or make use of the public transport. Definitely recommend!!
