DoubleTree by Hilton Hannover Schweizerhof

“My stay in early December”

I had a 2-night stay in early December at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hannover Schweizerhof. It was my 3rd stay at the hotel--I visited when it was previously branded that "Crowne Plaza"--and I did not notice any discernible change under the "DoubleTree by Hilton" management. I was efficiently checked-in--Danke, Pamela. I booked a Superior room, which was a suitable size for 2 people. It overlooked the Hinüberstrasse. As others have indicated, the hotel is a 10 m walk from the Hbf and if you are visiting the Xmas markets in 2025, several are within a 10-15 m walk. Their breakfast was excellent and had the usual dietary menu options. And their restaurant offers both lunch and dinner and several restaurants are on nearby streets. I used their sauna and it was a nice amenity given the weather at the time. The hotel is also a 10-15 m walk from the Ellenriede, which is the largest urban city forest in Germany. A wonderful park that is worth a visit. Overall, I was happy with my stay and I would recommend staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hannover Schweizerhof.

“Good personnel ”

Personnel was outstandingly kind. Food was good. Location is also helpful since is close to the train station and we were able to walk to the new town hall which has a nice view on the back (pic attached). Rooms have enought size and desktop has also enough space to work or study there

“Hilton trademark quality hotel.”

We selected the hotel primarily due to it's proximity to the railway station (easy walk) and the hotels quality. We had a terrific experience from arrival to departure, seemless. Reception and other staff were professional and friendly. Room was excellent, quite spacious and of a very good standard. Room service was equally good. Would likely have given 5 star if we had utilized the additional facilities, such as breakfast and restaurant but unfortunately we did not have the opportunity as we had arrangements outside to catch up with family friends. Would certainly recommend and have already done so. Would happily return if visiting Hanover.

“A Lot Of Money For Very Little”

We stayed in Hannover for five nights as part of our 10 night vacation travelling around Germany so chose the Hilton as it was close to the train station and we could use it as a base to explore other sights outside of the city, and wanted a bit of luxury to finish our travels.

We stayed in Hannover for five nights as part of our 10 night vacation travelling around Germany so chose the Hilton as it was close to the train station and we could use it as a base to explore other sights outside of the city, and wanted a bit of luxury to finish our travels. Lovely welcome, easy check in, room was spacious, clean, very comfortable bed, nice air conditioning especially as there were some high temperatures for May. Breakfast was pretty good everything you could possibly need and there is a nice bar area to relax, and staff are polite, friendly and courteous. So why did I give an average score and not five stars. I chose the Queen room for a bit more luxury and had a balcony so that we could sit outside with a coffee or wine especially as the weather was so good. However the balcony was dirty and grubby, bird poo (fresh) on all the furniture it was nothing more than a smoking area (we are not smokers). Our room wasn’t cleaned on one day, towels were only provided for one person on another day, despite asking we had not shower gel for the first three days having to use shampoo to wash. When booking, the room details stated slippers and bathrobes were provided, we were not supplied any, I know they were provided as I saw them on the cleaning trolly for others rooms on our floor. As previously said breakfast was very good but on our second day we were refused entry as we had not paid, I recognise this was a mistake but the front of house got a little erratic which made me feel rather foolish and embarrassed in front of a packed dining hall. Luckily a lovely lady from reception came to my rescue and put everything thing right. I wouldn’t come again and based on my experience I wouldn’t recommend the hotel, there were so many things wrong, I’ve used Hilton for many years, I wanted to end our vacation with a bit of luxury but all I got was very little for a lot of money.
