Wirklich eine sehr schöne Unterkunft mit sehr freundlichen Mitarbeitern, großen und gut eingerichteten Zimmern. Besonders gefallen hat uns auch die Liebe zum Detail, viele Bilder an der Wand, Dekorationen in den Fensterbrettern. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Sonderwünsche werden sofort erfüllt. Herausragend war meiner Meinung nach das Frühstück. Dieses ist zwar sehr teuer, aber es war auch wirklich lecker mit frischen Brötchen, Lachs, Salaten, frischen, Erdbeeren, guten Säften etc. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder. Was könnte besser sein? Der Pool dürfte gerne etwas wärmer sein. Und der Tennisplatz wirkt dann doch etwas heruntergekommen. Aber wie cool, dass es überhaupt einen gibt! 5/5 Sternen 👍

Akzent Hotel Heide Kroepke – Hannover Messe

It’s a good very clean hotel with friendly staff. Approximately 30 minutes drive from the exhibition centre. Only trouble was information how to use the internet connection. Some frustration in the beginning but was solved within the hour.

Gutes Hotel mit hilfsbereiten Personal

Ich war an diesem Wochenende das zweite mal in dem Hotel habe unter anderem auch das Schwimmbad und den Fitnessraum genutzt. Wie beim letzten Besuch war das Personal sehr hilfbereit und nett. Das Zimmer hat mir ebenfalls gut gefallen. Diesmal mit Badewanne und separater Toilette, gerade die separate Toilette gefällt mir sehr gut. Habe ich bis jetzt nur einmal in Spanien erlebt. Das Frühstück ist sehr vielfältig und gut. Insgesamt kann ich das Hotel nur empfehlen.
