Groningen has a much larger hotel stock and a great city atmosphere. Hotel Schimmelpenninck Huys (boutique, canal house), Martini Hotel (central, excellent location), and many Airbnb options. Drive or train to Assen for race days. Good base for arriving Thursday with Thursday evening in Groningen city.
For those prioritising city experience over circuit proximity. Large accommodation choice, world-class restaurants, and easy train connections to Assen. Best for fans who want to split the trip between city and circuit.

If you've never camped at a Grand Prix, the Dutch TT is the one to try. The atmosphere in the circuit fields is extraordinary — music, fellow fans, and the circuit just metres away. Book at ttassen.nl. Bring waterproofs — Dutch June weather is unpredictable.
