Simple, no frills room.

A 30min walk from the HBF, or a 5min tram, location is fine, easy to find, small room, which is all that was required, shared bathroom, although there was a sink in the room, the taps didn't work, asked for them to be looked at, but nothing appeared to be done. Tv in room, wifi was great, staff were helpful and kind, lending me a kettle and cutlery. Supermarket and bakery within a minutes walk.

Very simple and dated hotel, but not bad

I knew this would be a very basic hotel with shared bathrooms. It met my expectation, the room was clean, although the comfort of the bed and seats was poor and there was little sound insulation. The breakfast was OK.

Outdated hotel

3 stars? Rooms without bathrooms, decor circa 1971, hotel in a dire need for renovations. Should be a 1 star due to condition and lack of bathrooms. Hotels.com - visit the place and update ratings.

The hotel room was not worth what we paid for it. It was extremely noisy at all times of the day and night from external noise and noise inside the hotel itself. The bathroom smelled of rotten eggs. The bed was not comfortable. The lamps did not turn on and the TV was not functional. The Wi-Fi barely worked. The only good thing about this hotel is its location to central Hannover.

Not the best low cost place I've been

Good location, close to a tram station, supermarket, Doner kabab.. Very good breakfest. Bed not comfortable -put my matress on the floor because of noisy crack metal noise When you sleep over the bed. Clean shower outside the room to share with two other room, the shower was clean. The room is not cleaned every day. Tram drive just outside the hotel, I stay in third floor but still a lot of noise during all night. Relative cheap solution to stay in middle Hannover during big exhibition and very high hotel prices all around. Friendly staff. The Good breakfest save the place. Next visit I will try to find other solution.

Book closer to the Messe if you can

One of the few available hotels during the Hannover Messe, but pretty far away (35Euro cab). Reception hours from 7am to 8pm, but I was late arriving and the manager stayed till 9:30 which was nice but given the price not unexpected. Area is noisy and hotel is right beside the tram line, so do expect a lot of noise. Room is basic and WiFi seems to be area wide, not from the hotel. I didn't see any AC so if you are there in summer it could be warm.

not a good experience and very expensive !!

The reason for my visit was a show in Hanover and as usual all the hotels rip off the visitors, Over 230 Euro per night for this room was a lot of money The first impressions were not great, the first room i was given was not cleaned or made up pus the door did not seem secure at all, the second was ok but the curtains were too small for the windows so the room was light at all times as there was street lighting outside, the TV reception was not good and very few channels actually worked, the WIFI did not seem to have any internet connection at all after eventually managing to log on to the service which i only seemed to be able to do with my phone so i could not work on my laptop without using data from my phone service which cost me a fortune. The breakfast was adequate and the staff seemed friendly, location was good but these are the only good points as far as i am concerned I would not return.

Basic but with good breakfast!

We stayed here for 1 night on a stopover in Hannover. We arrived out of hours, but it was still easy to make contact and arrange a key pick up. The room was simple but fine, although without AC on a hot summer's evening so we had to have the window wide open which made the noisy road quite apparent! The selection at breakfast was great, definitely a selling point of the hotel. Overall, good value for money

Friendly Staff - Simple Comfort

This was located outside of downtown Hannover in the neighbourhood of Linden. But right on a main tram line. The staff were very friendly and even kept the breakfast running longer than usual to accommodate our late wake up time. The rooms were simple but "mostly" clean.
