Entrance to the Happy Traveler

The Happy Traveler

In one of Groningen’s prettiest alleyways, you’ll find Hotel/Bar The Happy Traveler , where the entire hotel is decorated with a travel theme, creating a unique experience. On their unique Ibiza-style roof terrace, you’ll feel as though you’re in a tropical paradise!

Have a look now

Since the launch of Hotel/Bar the Happy Traveler in 2021, we have succeeded in incorporating the travel theme throughout the hotel. This unique concept means we receive a lot of positive feedback from our guests. Both business and leisure guests, young and old, are welcome here! As we do not clean all rooms every day, but only a few times a week and/or on request, we are able to offer competitive rates!

Not looking for accommodation but rather for the most beautiful rooftop terrace in Groningen? Then be sure to pop by our rooftop terrace ‘The Happy View’ (check our website for opening hours).
This unique terrace is decorated entirely in Ibiza style, so you’ll feel as though you’re in a warm holiday destination whilst enjoying a delicious drink or a tropical cocktail!
