3 star Independent hotels in Hannover, Germany

Although we requested a non-smoking room we were allocated a smoking room which was extremely smelly. The person on reception also told us that we were not entitled to breakfast. As we were very tired we didn't check our booking until the next day when we also discovered that the shower was broken and the head came off. When we went to reception, a different lady was there and she was very good, our room was changed and this room was lovely. However when we checked out we were asked why we had not gone to breakfast on the two mornings we were there because breakfast was included in the price we had paid. We told the lady that we had been informed that we had not booked for breakfast but she said it was included anyway so she deducted the cost and also refunded ten Euros for the first night. So we have rated the hotel according to one really bad night and one good night, one excellent receptionist and one who designated us a smoking room and told us we could not have breakfast. So top marks to the second lady and very low ones to the first.

I was going to see Bruce Springsteen at the AWD arena in Hanover on the 28th. Normally I'd would have stayed with my wife's Aunt & Uncle who lives in Hanover, but they were away on holiday, so I had to find somewhere else. I looked in Expedia, and all the hotels in Hanover were full, really expensive or miles out of the city. Except for this hotel, which after doing a bit of research, looked ideal for my one night stay. About the 1/3 of the price of all the chain hotels, but with good reviews. I got there at 13:00 and given my key, plus explanation of how to get back in late at night, as reception would be closed when I got back. 10hrs WiFi was free of charge, so perfect for me. My room was immaculately clean, as was the bathroom. New flat screen TV in the room, plus a safe to store my valuables. The U bahn (Werdestasser), is 2 mins walk from the hotel, then it is only one stop to Hanover main station, and then jump across the platform for the U bahn for the Arena. Perfect!!!! Got back after the concert, shut the blinds and fell fast asleep, I was woken by a police siren, but nothing else until 07:30 when I could hear a shower in another room. But I fell back to sleep and missed breakfast! So the place is very quiet, despite being located near a tyre fitting depot. Would I stay there again, yes, no problem. Hopefully I wouldn't miss breakfast next time!

A good option for those attending exhibitions at the Hannover Messe as it it situated adjacent to the exhibition grounds. The hotel is less expensive than the Radisson Blu at the Messe but still offers broadly similar facilities. My only bugbear is that the wi-fi wasn't complimentary which can be helpful for business travellers. There is a railway station nearby that offers a good service to the centre of Hannover also as Laatzen is in the suburbs on the south side of Hannover.

Great experience! Clean rooms, great breakfasts, close enough to downtown, train station and Exhibition Halls by taxi. In a quiet neighborhood.

Staff was alright - by European standards. Don't expect a warm welcome with small talk, just straight to the point (no doubt there is one or two on shift who were more pleasant). Room was huge actually; shower facilities sufficient. Well kept, and warm enough for days which are superbly cold (below 0 degrees) Free Wi-Fi for half an hour, you need to ask from the desk. 5 euros for 24 hours, speed was fast too - so it wasn't too bad. About a 5 minute walk from the station. Easy to spot.

We stayed just the one night on our way from Poland to the UK (Returning home). We arrived at 1am and the night porter was the friendliest chap who spoke excellent English. There was a problem with my reservation but he quickly established there was no real problem, gave us the key to the room and we crashed fro the remainder of the night. The room was very comfortable with two double beds -perfect for 2 adults and 2 children. In the morning the breakfast was plentiful and the hot dish was great (bacon, sausage, scrambled or boiled egg) with a great choice of hams cheeses pastries, bread etc for those who don't want hot food. The only negative was that the daytime receptionist seemed to be a mood young cow -no smile or please or thank you, but I assume there was a reason for that, maybe she just received some bad news or was just bored doing her job. It didn't spoil our visit as we were soon on the road to drive home. This Hotel is close to the A2 but with the window closed you don't hear it -and we were on the same side as the motorway. My wife opened the window part way through the night as it was hot in the night (had been 32c in the day) and even then the noise from the motorway was just a distant hum. At the price of 65 euro's fopr the room its a bargain, however the charge for breakfast for four soon bumps the cost up to 100 euros' which let's face it is still a bargain even by UK standards (Premier Inn etc)

The apartment was good, mainly the hall area. It was lacking basic amenities like towels were not good, the tea maker was awful, the washing machine was full of old clothes. There was nobody to help. No wi-fi and breakfast.

Next to railway station easy to move around friendly staff

The 1 bed room apartment was very comfortable and the landlord was very nice and cooperative.
