I stayed one night in PJs and everything was perfect! Every room has their own private bathroom and they give you towels. Everything was very clean and the hotel is near all, only 5 minutes to every place I went. No doubt that I will go again!

Its actually pretty clean. The bed is comfortable and clean. A lot of business people stay there because of the ridiculous hotel prices in the city. So it was pretty calm, respectfull and not filled with drunk tourists. But of course this depends on the day of your travel. The Lights stay on the whole night. But this is not so bothering. What is a real problem is the super loud air Ventilation. I would recommend to take it down a nodge. Even with earplugs you hear it quiet loud. The bathroom looks fancy. The showers are ok. The toilets are made from a special Black material so you don 't see the piss of the Man who pee standing because it drys super quick. I would recommend Urinals and more frequent cleaning instead of a designed concealment. The people at the reception don't explain who the lockers work. Not only me had the Problem. This is annoying because you need to walk down to reception. There is no lift so not acces for people with a wheelchair or a walking disabbility. I paid around 40 Euro which I found a fair price overall.

Review only concerns the restaurant and only the breakfast/lunch menu. Beautiful case with great attention to detail. Feels cozy and is a pleasant place to do some work during the day. The service is very friendly and attentive.The food and the menu still deserve some attention. I thought the prices were illogical. Example 1: 12 euros for a sandwich with (a lot of) fried chicken and 14 euros for a much simpler sandwich with scrambled egg as the main ingredient.Example 2: 8 euros (!) for a large bowl of udon soup, cappuccino and fresh orange juice, but a single flat white is 4.75. Nice for the customer, but I thought it was quite out of proportion. I wouldn't be surprised at a price of 12/13 euros for such a large bowl of noodles at any other place.I also had to send the udon soup back because it was mainly a huge amount of noodles, with hardly any vegetables and a bland broth. This was responded to politely. The second bowl was significantly better, both in taste and proportions. Better to keep it small and with a good balance of ingredients, especially because it is a breakfast dish. Thank you!

We had a bite to eat here. Nice decor, friendly person and very good cocktails. We didn't think the food was very special and the music was very loud so you had to shout at each other to hear each other.

We only visited the restaurant with 3 of my friends last week. Food was tasteless , I would be ashamed to serve it if I was the cook. Drinks came after 40 minutes after we ordered them. Cocktails were very average and we had a total of 1:30 day of our order. People are not organised at all!! I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

The hostel is super centrally located and very chic, modern and clean. The only drawback is that there is no lounge where you can retreat as a hostel guest. There is only the restaurant where you have to order quite expensive food and that the light in the dormitory stays very bright at night and it shines through the curtain. I would recommend bringing a sleep mask.

Yesterday, after a day in Groningen, we received a warm welcome at this nicely decorated restaurant. We both had a 'grazing table' (various meat/vegetarian delicacies), where it turned out that the chef had been creative with particularly tasty and sometimes unusual product combinations (a 'melon steak'). But: everything was 'correct'. This is a restaurant that will make you happy. Too bad it's so far away :-)

Everything was excellent! Very clean and safe. The beds were quite comfortable. The bathrooms are well maintained and have plenty of space. I did not eat here, but the food and service looked good. The only thing I would recommend is to bring a small battery or usb fan! It can get hot and dry in the cocoon, and I think a fan would have been nice. Also, beware, the steps up to the rooms are very steep!

Well everything looks great like everyone said. It is a beautiful hostel with a great design. You got everything you need. But I stayed there to sleep, and I wasn’t able to because the main light in the room, stayed on all night. It was way too bright even with the curtain and my towel above that. And there is no light switch - it is supposed to stay on. Please change that. I was another hostel where LED lights had motion sensors that activated when someone arrived. That’s clever.And please give everyone a towel, even if it’s only one night - thanks 🙏🏼

Hi! Tonight we really enjoyed our dinner with you. A friend of ours was asked to be a witness for the wedding, and you contributed to that in such a special way! Our waitress Babette made sure that it was an unforgettable evening. Babette, thank you very much for your kind and attentive service. You really made our evening special!

My colleagues and I had a nice evening at PJ's restaurant. The decor is beautiful, the choice of music is nice and we had nice contact with the staff. We chose a number of dishes ourselves and took advice. The flavors surprised us. Nice to try jackfruit rendang and the vegetarian satay also tasted great. The marinated watermelon is also highly recommended. The plates are carefully prepared in the kitchen.

The owner clearly has an eye for detail. The color scheme extends throughout the building, from the shower head to the hinges of the windows at the restaurant below. The murals in the sleeping areas continue beautifully, the music in the restaurant is nice and quiet in the morning and a bit more upbeat in the afternoon.Wonderfully soft towels, a very nice misty shower and fortunately the bed linen does not smell or feel as if it has been extremely bleached, as is often the case in hotels. Lots of choice in food and drinks, different seating areas and corners in the lobby/restaurant and clean bathrooms. All in all, a luxurious appearance for a hostel, especially given the attention to detail.

Great location, super cool lobby and nice cocoons. Amazing and very clean showers and bathrooms. Bar and restaurant at the hostel. The only down side is the absence of a 220V plug in the cocoon, but you can’t really have it all. USB-A and USB-C plugs available in the cocoon. Terrific for this price
