A big thank you to all the staff, from the front desk to the room, for keeping it clean. I really enjoyed the breakfast and also enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi spa. Thank you for the warm welcome, Novotel Hanover.
We checked in and out with a real person which was welcoming. The hotel was clean and efficient in a great area with lots of local shops and cafes and bars to get food, with fantastic transport links and easy access to the Eilenriede wooded pathways where you can walk/cycle from one end of the city to the other. We chose the hotel to be near to friends in the area.
If you arrive much after midnight either on arrival or after an evening out, then you have to ring the doorbell to be let in. We were pleased there was some security but felt that this could be done better as it wasn’t always clear that the bell had rung and sometimes the staff were slow to respond.
Breakfast was a large array of hot and cold savoury and sweet buffet style. All nicely presented.
Bedrooms were well proportioned with excellent storage, the option of a minibar fridge (buy in contents) and options of other hotel facilities. Large screen tv.
We had a twin room and I found the bed a bit firm for my liking and the bedding felt a bit over-starched or rough. But it was comfortable enough. We also had a window which opened on a security latch as well as air-conditioning though couldn’t cool the room below 18 degrees at night.
Bathroom had a lovely rainfall shower with alternative flexible showerhead. All was clean.
All information regarding hotel was found on TV menu so it lacked the personal touch a bit as we weren’t told anything more about the facilities in person apart from breakfast. Lovely hotel.
Great staff, friendly and helpful. Great spot to visit Hannover and to access parks, museums, shops, restaurants, churches etc
Always willing to help and ensure needs are met.
Only negative is unable to access English speaking channels on the TV.
Overall, good stay and was a great location for a conference.
My issue was just with the temperature in the room, as the air conditioning didn't work properly and several people were complaining.

It was quiet and clean. The food was very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable.
But in the shower there were black marks... mould? We mentioned this to reception. It was agreed that the problem would be sorted.
This hotel was easy to get to, underground parking is available but pretty pricey. Hotel staff and hotel was okay, nothing extraordinary. This was the most expensive hotel out of the 10 we stayed during our European roadtrip. It was clean enough, bathroom floors could use a better mopping. The hotel is walking distance to the touristy areas but not a nice walk. We walked to town late and night and it didnt feel 100% safe. Didn't try thw breakfast because found it was overpriced. Instead we walked to Extrablatt. It was a buffet breakfast and super cheap.

As Novotel's go, this one is a great example. Rooms are modern and comfortable, good enough breakfast and staff friendly. Only bad thing (not affecting me), was a colleague who accidentally booked his room twice, was refused a refund - despite calling minutes later.
The staff was very nice and helpful. The property and the rooms are updated. I found my room a bit small. But it was okay for a short business trip.
I didn‘t have breakfast but it looked very good to me. I dined in the restaurant in the hotel. The food was good and the service excellent.
The only minor remark I would make is the choice of TV programs - there were hardly any international programs available.
Staff not courteous other than housekeeping ( they were) not diligent about room cleaning however reception staff should be trained in customer service.

The hotel advertises there's a gym. But it didn't have electric power, and when I asked the reception he said it will automatically start at 7:00 AM. I asked why? he said "for your safety"! I am not sure how 7:00 AM is not safe, but 7:01 is safe... Anyways the other smarter receptionist said they can't start it until 7:00 AM because the gym is located between the rooms. So this is a Hotel Design flaw. Lastly, if my working day starts at 8:00 AM, then this gym is practically useless.
