City Hotel de Jonge

Do not be deceived by the name. De Jonge is a smartly named alternative for something that should ideally be named De Oude. City Hotel de Jonge is a 150-year hotel, that began operations in 1874. It is on the Brinkstraat, right in the middle of Assen, a beautiful city in northern Netherlands. The room was comfortable. The bathroom could have been better, with more amenities provided. The breakfast was a sumptuous spread. All the major sights and restaurants are in the vicinity. A nice hotel to stay when you are visiting Assen.

An excellent hotel right in the centre of Assen, with really friendly and welcoming staff who were meeting help and delighted to show me my room. Restaurant food and breakfast were amazing and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

Lovely staff! Felt very welcomed with my family when we went over new years. Especially Captain who was very welcoming to us every morning at breakfast! Thank you, I would recommend. The hotel is clean and the food was very very high quality and Delicious every morning without fail.

We had a fantastic two night stay at this hotel. The atmosphere was warm and friendly from the very moment we walked in. All of the staff were excellent but we were particularly impressed with the man they call The Captain! We also ate in the restaurant. Again, first class. I am sure we will return.

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.

Staff are extremely unhelpful. I stayed here for 1 night with my family. Staff member tried to overcharge us when checking in. We had two rooms and the rooms were cold, we asked for help at reception and we were pretty much told that he had too much work to do and couldn’t help us with the radiators, the food in the restaurant isn’t very enjoyable (we had free dinner included in the price of the rooms.) The bathroom is also extremely annoying and gets very flooded when you shower.

Anytime when staying in Assen we choose Hotel de Jonge (6x so far). The Hotel is ideally located in the City with close walks to Restaurants and Shops. The Hotel offers quit large modern rooms whereas the bathrooms are. However, the Breakfast is extraordinary good and offers a wide range of ingredients.

+ Very friendly and helpful staff. + Good location, right in the center of Assen. + Good breakfast with Glutenfree possibilities. + Good restaurant. + Clean room. + Bathroom has floor heating. + Parking close by (ask Hotel for directions though, because Google maps sends you to the wrong place) - Narrow bedsheets that didn't really cover the sides of the bed.
