The property and staff were decent overall, and I would have rated the entire experience much higher if it weren't for an unpleasant incident during breakfast. I sat in the only available spot but was asked to move by an employee because a family of four had just arrived. This left me with nowhere to sit and eat comfortably.
That being said, it is still a good budget option, and you really can't beat the location for the price. On the positive side, the staff at the front desk speak English fluently, which was a huge plus. However, I would strongly recommend skipping the breakfast package and heading to the nearby shopping district for your morning meals instead. I would also suggest that management provide the staff with a few lessons on basic hospitality—starting with not glaring so rudely at guests when they walk into the lobby.

Dear Expedia Customer Relations,

I am writing to formally complain about Expedia reservation booked for my recent vacation on Jun 4-6,2026. Novotel Suites Hannover, Germany.

Based on the information, photographs and descriptions on Expedia’s website, I reasonably expected high-quality accommodation. Unfortunately, the property is significantly misrepresented, and I felt misled as a customer.

• The hotel is located in a drug-tolerance, super dirty area that felt unsafe. This fact is omitted on the webpage.
• The walk to the hotel from the station passes through urinals, addicts and constant police activity.
• The property is outdated, with aging facilities and furnishings.
• There is a very busy and loud bus station right in front of the lobby that operates through the night.

As a traveler, I rely on Expedia to provide accurate and transparent information when making purchasing decisions. Had the property’s true condition and surrounding area been accurately represented, I would not have selected this hotel.

This hotel should not be even listed on Expedia. Where is the vetting process / quality control of the properties you publish and sell?

I respectfully request that Expedia review this booking and provide appropriate compensation for the significant discrepancies. Compensation in form of a full refund or travel credit.

I have pictures to prove the above statements.

Convenient to city center

The hotel is convenient to the city center, train and tram services. The room was very spacious by European standards plus the room had a microwave and refrigerator so a big plus. The only issue was upon arrival from an international flight, a room was not ready which was fine, but then when I asked for the baggage to me stored until check in time I was told that there wasn’t t enough room in the storage area and that I would need to just leave it without it being secured and was offered to then purchase a locker for my backpack but my large luggage would not fit so I would need to leave it out. This don’t seem appropriate as a paying customer, there must be some system that hotel staff can figure out when people will be traveling in and to expect them to have luggage- especially international travelers and those staying for multiple nights- there should be some alternative storage space hotel staff can store bags. For example if they know the room they will place you in but it just needs cleaning - why not place the bags there and then when the room is clean you can check in. It’s not suitable to not offer an accommodation to a guest.

This hotel was near the train station, and lots of restaurants. I get the feeling they don't get a lot of english speakers, but we figured it out. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and well decorated. Because the area is near the bus and trains, there are a few homeless out on the streets, but that isn't the hotel's fault, just something to be aware of.

We were so pleasantly surprised about this hotel. We had booked it due to its proximity to the main train station but weren't expecting much else. We loved our room and all of its amenities -- it reminded us of a Japanese style hotel where there are lots of room amenities (e.g., our room had 3 sinks, which was very convenient for our group of 4). The hotel is across the street from the back entrance to the train station, so it is very easy to walk through the station (which also has lots of shopping and dining options) to the main shopping district which is in front of the station. We highly recommend this hotel and wouldn't stay anywhere else if our travels take us back to downtown Hannover.

Perfect spot convenient for the train station

This was very much a last-minute booking picked for the price and the proximity to the main station. However, it turned out to be an absolute GEM!

Checkin was super efficient and staff were friendly: room was enormous, with a mini kitchenette and a separate bath/shower to the toilet. After a long day of travelling, it was such a godsend to be able to have a bath.

I didn't choose to have the breakfast: I went into the station instead for snacks and some food. There was also some snack food available in the lobby in the evening.

I also (unfortunately) ended up leaving something in my room: was a bit difficult to get through on the phone, but I used the hotel email from the Novotel site, and got an almost instant response. Long story short, my beloved travel bear was posted back to me by hotel staff who were super efficient!

I was travelling with my pet: and this a really great option: plenty of space to set up the travel pen, and a completely reasonable upgrade fee for the room.

I would HIGHLY recommend!

My family of 3 was given a room (no 115) catered for handicapped. The room was great, came with a microwave oven, fridge and a water boiler.
I was not happy with the spacious bathroom as every time when we have shower, the whole bathroom floor will get wet and we have to rinse the whole floor off the soapy water after every shower....
I was just wondering why were we given this type of room? Are they running out of normal room for 3 of us?
Another thing is the lobby area.. when we stayed at Novotel Suites Den Haag last year, the lobby provides free coffee/tea/hot chocolate and some oranges/apples too.. unfortunately not the same for this Novotel Suites Hannover.. But overall we still love Novotel Suites.. reasonable price with nice, clean and well equipped room 👍👍

The check in process went well and the staff was friendly. Walking into my room it immediately felt dated (early 2000s). The toilet room was small was totally separate from the shower (and bath for those that take a bath at a hotel). Both rooms had a cruise ship feel.

Close to all amenities in central Hannover

The hotel was just at the back of the railway station and across from the bus station with just a short walk to the city centre. Our room was large with a separate toilet and had a bath and a good power shower. The room is very large with a kettle with tea /coffee topped up daily. There is no curtains except blinds which I didn't like. Our room faced building site but we heard no noise. I slept in the single bed which I found uncomfortable it is a small single. The were lots of light switches on the wall on the opposite side of the room but I was unable to switch any on or off from my bed so had to get up to switch on and off, very annoying!! My other friend had the same problem in another room. The lifts were swift and corridors quiet. Breakfast was good with lots of choice. The drinks at the bar were inexpensive in the evening. It was good value stay, it was the lighting in the room which was its downfall.

Very close to train station and Christmas Market

The room is spacious and comfortable. The toilet and bathroom (shower and bath) is separate on the other side (even not close to) which is only thing I need to adapt.
There is microwave and sink which is very convenient for foods reheat. As there is supermarket after the hotel and there are many food stores in the train station, so we can buy various types of food to enjoy slowly at hotel and no worries if they had been cold.
The Christmas Market and department store are on the main entrance of train station and this hotel is on the back side, hence, it's very quiet nearby.
If you are single traveler, beware of homeless sleepers who are mainly stationed outside the train station on the back side.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
I took nightjet from Vienna and arrived earlier at 7am, so need to pay early check in fee which is half of room fee.
I had a good time here, Christmas Markets are very impressive and beautiful!

Nice staff and a large room

The rooms are large and the biggest we have stayed in as a family. I was surprised to find a separate shower and a bath. Also, the room could be divided in two, separating the children's sleeping area. Our boys loved free use of Wii U and games near reception. Staff on reception were very nice and helpful, e.g. recommending the underground as the best way to reach the zoo.

The only downside is that there is building work going on right next to the hotel and a we didn't feel that comfortable in the surrounding area. Would have preferred staying in a busier more tourist location on the other side of the train station.

Cheap, good service, no restaurant, no parking!

The service from the front desk of this hotel was awesome. The sad part of the stay is that the hotel location doesn't allow for parking so you have to use a parking garage 1 or 2 blocks down the street. It's 3 euros a day which isn't too bad but traffic can make this a pain. No restaurant is the reason this hotel doesn't get a higher rating.

Great budget hotel

Stayed here for two days while on a Football/Xmas Market trip. The hotel is in a great location behind the central station. Not far to walk into the city center. The hotel rooms are very large with a double and a single bed. There is both a very good shower and bath in the rooms. The beds were comfortable but we found the air conditioning not that effective, so it was a bit too warm for my liking. I would still stay here again as my stay was good value.
