Disappointment

Customer review rating 0.5/5

Anonymous Business - 08/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

As a Platinum member of Accor Chains, it was a big disappointment experience after long time. I stayed 2 night and there was a room cleaning service with a funny excuse like pandemic. I was in Dubai one week before and stayed 13 night and there was no issue like that. After my Hannover visit I came Berlin Germany and stayed Pullman and also there wasn't any excuse like that. Even they didn't clean my room and also even they didn't take garbage... I have to take by myself the clean towel on Reception. (I can't believe this) Last thing, when I asked them as a platinum member to late check-out time and even they didn't give any expection not even 30 min. They mostly offer me till 5-6pm or at least even worst scenario 2pm. I am not sure I can stay over there again....

Dear Mr. C., Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review following from your recent stay. I was naturally very sorry to hear some of your points of feedback, however, all guest comments are important to us, and we will be working hard to look into the aspects mentioned. In each state and country are different corona policies. Which often apply to the situation on town. It is correct, that we don’t offer a regular room cleaning each day. However, on request we offer this to all our guest, as well as refresh towels or empty the bin. (We also had this written in our welcome letter). We were unable to offer you a late check out, as we were fully booked on the day. However, a 30 minutes check out later should have been possible. The team and I hope to have the opportunity to restore your faith in our hotel in the future. If you would like to make a reservation, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mrs. M., thank you for choosing us for your stay in Hanover and for having taken the time to complete our review. I am glad you had an enjoyable stay with us.

Well located but less amenities than other hotels within this price category

Customer review rating 3.5/5

Lena M. B. Business - 22/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Quick check in, size of the rooms is good, location is great. No shampoo only hand & body wash dispenser, rooms are not soundproof - I even heard the elevator ping all night, remote control did not work, fridge had a loose contact so the light went on and off.

Dear Mrs. B., we very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Hannover. Unfortunately, we need to follow the rules for the amenities in the room from the government. And these are different in every state of Germany. I am sorry to read, that not all in the room was as it should be. We hope we will see you again.

Great location, pretty run down

Customer review rating 3.5/5

Karin S. Families - 26/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We love the Novotel for its location and its big rooms. Unfortunately apparently no investment has been made over the last years and the hotel is pretty run down (scratched wall painting, damaged furniture, air condition not working, etc). Additionally this year we arrived and the two extra beds weren’t set up, when it was done in the evening no bath towels were added for the two extra persons. At our second stay (we checked out for one night) the two beds were set up at arrival but we found an empty soft drink bottle under one of the beds from the previous guest (though you ‘advertise’ extra Covid cleanliness).

Dear Mrs. S., we very much appreciate your comments regarding your last stay at the Novotel Hannover. Small beauty defects are unfortunately unavoidable in a hotel and we try to counteract them with painting works or small renovations. I am really sorry, that the beds weren’t prepared on your arrival and then the towels been missing on your second stay. You are right, it should not happen, that the room is not been cleaned proper. I have passed this on the housekeeping manager.

Not Satisfied

Customer review rating 2.0/5

Mehdi K. Business - 23/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Being a previous customer at this location and a member of Le Club ( 30…1886) I booked via our corporate travel desk (Amex) and at check out I was informed I won’t be 30…1886 getting any Leclub points because I did not book thru hotel direct. This is the first time I hear of such a rule in any hotel chain. In addition, I had several other issues during my stay such as Plumbing drain issues at the bathroom, did not get an upgrade, drain issue was not fixed and other house keeping issues, etc… The best part of my stay was the Breakfast Buffett and the staff at the breakfast were nice courteous and professional. We as a corporation have started to travel again. I travel several months of the year some years up to six month of the year and the places I used to travel have a Novotel or Sofitel but unfortunately won’t be able to stay at those places if they don’t accept my Amex reservations for points. Please feel feel to call me at my cell if I can provide additional info. Thanks, +50…-2980 cell

Dear Mr. K., Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review following from your recent stay. I was naturally very sorry to hear some of your points of feedback, however, all guest comments are important to us, and we will be working hard to look into the aspects mentioned. I am sorry, that you received on check out the information, that you won’t receive any ALL points for your stay with us. This information from my colleague was wrong. You should see in your ALL account, that you received the points for your stay with us. Regards to the room upgrade – you booked a single room for your stay with us and received a double room for single occupancy. I am happy that you enjoyed the breakfast buffet. We hope, to have the opportunity to look after you again.

The housekeeping was poor and sub-standard. I asked my room to be cleaned and the results were really bad each. Most interesting channels from TV were deactivated. At the end i stopped asking for things and just for my stay to end. The receptionists were trying their best but they were left with much resources.

The hotel is ideal for big conferences. Rich breakfast, nice & friendly staff, fitness room, sauna & small pool are in. The rooms are big enough with nice city view. Underground station is right closeby, and city center is 2 stations only or 20 min by feet.

Kevin D Family - 12/04/2017 TripAdvisor review

I have stayed at Novotel Hannover now 4 times in total over the last 2 years whilst visiting my son and always choose to stay in the superior room. We stayed in superior room on our last occasion but on checking out we were charged for our mini bar, which on the previous visits was included as part of the superior room package. In total I was charged 30 Euros. If I had been informed that the superior room package had changed and the mini bar was not included I would not have booked the superior room or used the mini bar. As a loyal customer for the past few years I feel very let down.

Dear KevinD, thank you very much for choosing the Novotel Hannover again for your stay. We are sorry to hear, that you had a unclarity regards the mini bar charge in the superior room. It is correct that the mini bar is not included. In our executive rooms and suites is the mini bar included. We hope to have the pleasure to welcome you back in the near future.

Patrick S Friends getaway - 09/11/2016 TripAdvisor review

There's a metro stop just outside the hotel. Very convenient. From all the previous Novotels that I've stayed, this is quite a nice and funky one. There's a kids area with interactive gaming board, sauna/Jacuzzi in the basement. Shame that it was only opened till 10pm. Its also mixed gender by the way and I don't recall seeing anyone with clothes when using it. Rooms were nice and spacious. Upon checking-in, I was greeted by a lady on the priority desk and it seemed that my checking-in there was an inconvenience for her. I could see her me a face as if it was my fault for interrupting her. After confronting her on this, she switched herself to a 'happy to serve you' mode. No regrets staying at this property. Would stay here again if I was back in the area.

Dear Ptrcks, Thank you for posting your review following your recent stay with us, we are very grateful for all the feedback we receive and appreciate the time you have taken to recognize our hotel. We are very fortunate with regards to our location. Regarding the Checkin procedure, I will address your comment to my team and we will use it to improve our operations.

The staff was very accommodating on our early arrival , this was great as we travelled from South Africa on connecting flights. The breakfast and other meals on the menu was also very good. The hotel has a fitness center that was also very handy and convenient. The whole experience was great.

Dear 698hendrikv, A review like this is exactly what we are aiming for! Where do we start?? Thank you for the glowing recommendation of all aspects of the hotel from the value, to the staff, to the room and the restaurant.
