Bad service and unprofessional staffI reserved a room at Bastion Hotel by telephone through an employee named Cheyenne. I clearly indicated what time I would arrive and asked what I needed to do to confirm the reservation. After a two-hour drive I arrived at the hotel, only to be told that they were full and overbooked. I found this extremely disappointing as Cheyenne had the opportunity to call back and let them know that the rooms had become full.At the counter she indicated that the other guests had already paid, while during the telephone conversation I also asked if I could already pay to secure the reservation. To make matters worse, Cheyenne made no apologies and let us and the people behind us in line know that she didn't care. This is downright bad service and absolutely no way to treat people. I at least expected her to think about a solution, but unfortunately we had to look for another hotel at 9:00 PM.An unprofessional approach from this employee and very disappointing service from Bastion Hotel.

Terrible service and unprofessional staffI booked a room at Bastion Hotel Groningen over the phone with a staff member named Cheyenne. I clearly informed her of my arrival time and asked what I needed to do to confirm the reservation. After driving for two hours, I arrived only to be told that they were fully booked and overbooked. I found this extremely disappointing, as Cheyenne could have called back to inform me that the rooms were filling up.At the reception, she stated that the other guests had already paid, even though I had specifically asked on the phone if I could pay in advance to secure the reservation. To make matters worse, she did not offer any apology and bluntly told us and the people behind us that she didn’t care. This is simply poor service and no way to treat people. I expected at least some effort in finding a solution, but instead, we had to look for another hotel at 9 PM.Unprofessional behavior from this staff member and a very disappointing experience with Bastion Hotel Groningen.

My partner and I stayed for a weekend. It was a very pleasant atmosphere upon arrival. The receptionist was very friendly and had an open appearance. The chef was able to prepare something for us just before closing time of the restaurant, and that was also tasty. The room itself was neat. Unfortunately, there were some negative points about the room. We had booked a king-size bed, but this turned out to be a king-size bed frame with two single mattresses, so we still had to sleep separately. The shower was also not perfect, the jet was a bit hard and not all the water flowed, so the floor was flooded. There were no further comments about the room. When we returned the next day, we were welcomed with a smile again.Checking out was also easy. The receptionist was also friendly.All around, it was a pleasant stay.

Away from the industrial site, breakfast was the lowest category, something was always missing or the coffee machine was broken. Hallways and entrance hall weren't vacuumed/cleaned once in 1 week. No repeat for us!
