Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Market Hotel enjoys a fantastic location in the city center, placing you right next to the Grote Markt and within easy walking distance of shopping streets and the Weekend Market. Guests often praise the generously sized, modern rooms, some featuring views of the market square, water cookers, coffee machines, and super nice showers. While some have noted potential noise from the square, particularly during events or from nearby student accommodations, many appreciate the convenient parking available at the Forum parking just a short walk away, plus the breakfast buffet.
