Hotels near GALERIA Kaufhof, Hannover

Not a place I would normally stay in - expensive and a chain. However, boss was paying and so I was staying. Very comfortable room, good wifi, clean and well located. A short walk to the 8 and 18 train station to go to the show. Good service and good place to stay if you have money

The hotel is designed to be cool. But there are details that need attention. The floors of the room were very dusty and dirty. The linens and bathroom were clean and new. The bed was comfortable. The shag carpet in the hall gave me the creeps - if the floor of the room was dirty - what is lurking in the hall carpet? And it was not easy to roll my suitcase through the carpet. There is a weird lightshow in the bathroom and a strange one-way mirror from the room into the shower - why? There is only one somewhat comfortable chair in the room which left the other person sitting on the bed or the chair for the desk. There is no refrigerator in the room. The parking is expensive although we were able to find free street parking on the second night. The windows on the exterior of the building were very dirty - so the view was obscured. There weren't many people staying at the hotel so it was quiet but if it was full I believe that there would have been noise from room to room. Would find somewhere else the next time we are in Hannover.

FORA HOTEL HANNOVER by MERCURE 19 July – 20 July 2024 My husband and I stayed at this hotel before our flight to Cape Verde, so I can write only about its location, room/bathroom and breakfast plus parking lot. It’s about 10-minute drive from the hotel to the airport. The taxi fare for this 10-minute drive is EURO 30. The room is basic, but sufficient. There was no mineral water nor slippers in the room, which is a shame. Mercure, really? The breakfast is VERY basic. Not much choice – you eat what you get and you’re on your way. Has no-one considered that travellers would like to have a hearty breakfast before they’re off to the airport, especially when they have a long flight ahead? Definitely something to improve, Mercure! The parking lot is underground, which is very convenient. We left our car there for the length of our holiday (14 days) and collected it “safe and sound”. So this is a big plus. But you cannot book the park-sleep-fly service directly with hotel – it’s only possible by some website. Also, the transfer to the airport is only one-way (before you fly, not after you land so be prepared to take a taxi from the airport). Moreover, they tell you that parking your car there is free – no extra charge to the room charge (which is EURO 100+). We wanted to grab some sleep after we returned from our holiday, but the price for “a room only” would be the same as for the “park-sleep-fly service”, so it made little sense. We decided to pick up our car, and hit the road even though we arrived at 03:50 am. Tough for us, but tough for the Mercure too as they could make some extra money. Oh, and by the way, the location of the hotel is not that nice. We went for a short walk in the evening, and it turned out that it’s a bit hued district if you know what I mean. Just a long street with geshefts – nothing to see in the whereabouts, no walking grounds or parks either. Would I recommend? Not really. If we fly from Hannover again, we’ll stay at the airport hotel next time.

Overall, the hotel is recommended. Beds, bathroom and the entire ambience are harmonious with each other. The breakfast menu is plentiful but not overloaded. The staff is also very hard-working and friendly! There is criticism of the cleanliness around and in the hotel. There is rubbish almost everywhere outside and the windows are dirty. The room looks superficially clean. However, when you look at the toilet roll holder, which is sinking in the dust, but also the mirrors that still have stripes, stainless steel applications that are colorfully clean.... The sink did not drain or drained very slowly. We were offered a room exchange. There is a need for action. We are used to something different. Pity

Pas de fioritures mais très propre et au calme. Les chambres sont relativement spacieuses avec tv, rangement et salle de bain séparée. Le personnel est très souriant et sympathique. Petite alerte sur le fait que le Check in se fait près de l’autre b&b hotel (derrière le dekra) si vous arrivez en dehors des heures d’ouverture de la réception. Mention spéciale pour la dame en charge du petit deja urne qui est absolument adorable. Très calme même si l’hôtel se trouve en bordure d’autoroute.

The check-in was very friendly and there were apples and refreshments in the lobby. Also there are only positive reports on the shuttle service to the airport, timely and helpful. I would have expected more from the room. It is tasteful and practically furnished and very spacious and absolutely clean. However, I wonder why there is no ”light” light. The lamps in the room only throw dark indirect light. It was not possible to light the room. That was very well hit the mind. The switch between night-lamp and reading lamp was defect, so not at all, only the inner life was visible, which I think is dangerous. Although Leonardo casts with sound-isolated windows. I could not see any difference to normal glass windows and it was incredibly noisy in the night. Furthermore, the brightness came so that we can hear the TV, toilet noise etc. of the neighbouring rooms well. A water cooker as shown in the room description did not exist with us. Only a capsule machine was available. This was why we had to prepare the water for our tea and thus tasted the tea for coffee. Also very bad that no sustainability is being considered and actually coffee capsules are still offered. For one night to get to the airport, it's OK. I can't recommend a longer stay.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The front staff was very friendly and helpful. My father-in-law forgot to pack pajamas and a gal at the front was able to direct him to a department store. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. We had breakfast at the hotel and it was good. There is paid parking onsite. If you have a larger vehicle go for the surface parking lot as the underground is a one-way ramp up/down and there are only a few spots. The location is terrific - everything was within walking distance. I would stay here again if I came back to Hildesheim.
