Kumo Hostels. Not your average Hostel in Groningen
Welcome to Kumo Hostels in the Oosterstraat, where local and international travelers meet in the heart of Groningen! Kumo is not your average hostel—it’s an adults-only haven that’s as unique as it is cozy. And yes, it's smack dab in the middle of the city center—talk about prime location!
Attending an event at Simplon Poppodium or OOST? You’re in luck! After the fun, you can be snuggled up in your private cocoon in just minutes. The Forum Groningen, Grote Markt, and the iconic Martinitoren are practically next door—you could almost crawl there (but we suggest walking)! Coming by train or bus? No worries—it’s just a breezy 15-minute walk or a quick bus ride from the station!
Spacious and modern cocoons
Kumo is where the word ‘hostel’ gets a serious glow-up. Think dormitories with spacious, modern cocoons that come with curtains for that extra dash of privacy. You can pick between single cocoons (in female-only or mixed rooms), luxurious single cocoons, or share a duo cocoon. Oh, and for the ladies—there’s a special female-only room to keep things feeling extra safe and comfy.
Sustainable and soundproof
Despite being right in the city center, you can forget about street noise—Kumo is soundproof and insulated to keep things peaceful. And yes, you can totally book breakfast here—continental style! Kumo Hostels is also all about sustainability. From gas-free facilities and eco-friendly insulation to unbleached cotton towels, every detail is designed with the planet in mind. So, you can enjoy your stay knowing it's as responsible as it is relaxing!
Hungry?
Kumo doubles as a restaurant with a shared-dining concept, perfect for tasting delicious bites with friends (or making new ones). They even host live music and small events to keep the vibes flowing. Don’t forget to check the website or Instagram for the latest happenings!
